An Indulgent Skin Care Routine
Last week, the groundhog informed us we have to endure 6 more weeks of winter. Which means… we all deserve to treat ourselves so some indulgent skincare. While my general skincare routine is pretty simple (face wash in my daily shower, toner, and then moisturizer), when I’m really in the mood to pamper myself (or know that I have a very visible day), I go for my decadent skincare routine. It just makes me feel so nice - not to mention the serious glow up!
Morning Routine - Refresh, De-Puff, Revitalize
Steps:
First, I start with my Foreo Bear Facial Toner microcurrent with serum.
I absolutely love this device - it’s like yoga for your facial muscles. Here’s how it works: low-frequency massage improves skin's microcirculation to help eliminate toxins & ease facial tension - resulting in a smoother, softer, more glowing complexion. It’s also so easy to use! Once you have your Bear, you download foreo’s app, connect your device, and follow along with the facial ‘workout’.
The whole routine takes a grand total of 3-4 minutes, and always leaves my face feeling brighter and energized.
Make sure to start with this, you don’t want your face to be wet at all because there IS a (completely safe) microcurrent!Next, I do a little gua sha & face roller.
I generally do my own little routine, but if you don’t know where to start with gua sha, this video is a great intro!
After working with my gua sha, I take my face roller (which I liked to keep in the freezer) to gently continue to de-puff my face.Then I like to finish off with some under eye patches - they’re the icing on the refreshing morning routine cake!

Evening Routine - Calm, Treat & Pamper
Steps:
Once the day is done, is there anything better than a good Face Mask? This minty tingly one is my absolute favorite.
After my face mask, I like a nice gently exfoliating scrub to ensure I’m really getting into my pores and cleaning out all of the grime from the day.
The next clear step? Toner! Honestly, the best one is just good ol’ witch hazel.
Last but not least, my favorite facial moisturizer (that has some acne fiting properties, too!)

I hope y’all enjoy this indulgent skin care routine as much as I do!
