My Morning and Nightly Skincare Routines // Wednesday Whatevers

Hello everyone, I hope you’re having a lovely morning, afternoon, or evening! Recently, I’ve actually been consistent about doing my morning and nightly skincare routines and decided I’d share them with you! Just a reminder: I have very dry (and slightly sensitive) skin, so what works for me might not work for you.

P.S. I am not partnered/sponsored/anything with any of the products that I list below!!
P.P.S. Genetics, habits, lifestyle, etc., all come into play when talking about skin. I drink A LOT of water, am not typically super stressed, and have some pretty good “skin genes.” So, again, what works for me, might not work for you.

>> Morning Routine <<

My goal wake-up time is 8:00 AM, but some days I sleep in until around 10:00-10:30 AM.

As soon as I wake up, I make my bed, then head to the kitchen to get my coffee. Now, ideally, I would use MUD\WTR (with honey and oat milk), but I’ve been trying to save money recently, so I just drink the coffee that my parents make with some sugar and oat milk.

When I get back to my room, I do my skincare. I’ve found that using my Curology cleanser and moisturizer in the morning, too, has really helped my skin get clearer and smoother. So, I start by cleansing my face (and wiping off any remaining of my lip mask) and then moisturize.

Then, I read my devotion and start my day!

>> Nightly Routine <<

I try to go to bed at around 11:30 PM (but sometimes I stay up a bit longer if I’m watching a show/movie with my sisters)

Before I get started washing up, I take my sleep vitamins anywhere between 11:00 and 11:30. I use OLLY Immunity Sleep Vitamins to help myself fall asleep (because I’m terrified of not being able to sleep and can’t fall asleep naturally until 2:00 AM 😃) Also, these vitamins have elderberry in them which helps with immune system support (hence the “immunity” part…)

Usually right after I take my vitamins I I brush my teeth. I use Bite toothpaste bits!

Then, I start my skincare! I use Curology cleanser, then my personal formula, then moisturizer. They really helped me cleanse my face after a long day, then moisturize and help me keep my skin clear and not all flaky and gross. After that, I use ColourPop’s strawberry lip mask overnight to help my (surprise, surprise) dry lips. Then, I put on Pronexa lash/brow enhancer for my eyelashes. I’ve just been testing this out for funsies. I haven’t seen much of a difference so far, but I’ll continue to use this until it’s out—again—just for funsies.

ALSO: whenever I wear makeup (which is becoming rarer and rarer) I use Curology’s micellar makeup remover paired with a reusable cotton pad.

Then, I go to bed and, if it’s before midnight, I journal using a journaling app to reflect on my day and do these cute little mood check-ins.

There you go! I hope this post was entertaining and/or helpful. Let me know what your go-to routines are and what products you just LOVE. I wish you a wonderful rest of your day or night. Keep on inspiring others and loving yourself!
