My Skincare Routine UPDATED!
NOTE: I mentioned in this live video that I got Botox for the first time back in April 2022. I got it a second time this past fall and it has worn off….I’m not sure if I will do it again …I’m not opposed to it, and definitely don’t judge or criticize anyone’s choice in this department.
What I am using daily is the Nira facial laser...I started using it on November 30 so I’m 2 months into the 90 days that it says it takes to notice improvement. They have a money-back guarantee after the 90 days. I will post pics here of my progress at the end of February, but I do think it has softened my lines, and my hope is that it helps reduce future lines with increase collagen production. It only takes a minute or two each day and…one can hope! It’s endorsed by Angie Hot & Flashy which is encouraging. Learn more and get a discount here: https://bit.ly/3EJTFDB
My Daily Skincare Routine 2023
Today I’m sharing my personal skincare routine and products. I’ve spent a ton of time researching and trying things but I want to emphasize that there is NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL solution, so you need to determine what’s best for your skin, your budget, and your goals. And of course, the best place to start is with a visit to your dermatologist.
You will see I use several different brands in my routine, based on my research, budget, and results.
If you want to (spend about 2,459 hours on YouTube, like I did;) and do your own research, my favorite sources are Doctorly (love these guys – so entertaining) Dr. Dray, and Hot&Flashy.
Many of the products can be found at your local drugstore or on Amazon (here’s my Amazon Storefront, FYI) and I am an affiliate for some of them, so if you purchase through my links I do receive a small commission. But of course, you don’t pay more, and if I have a coupon code, I’ll share it below. I truly appreciate your support of my business!
Morning Routine
- Cleanse: In the morning I usually just splash water on my face or use the DRMTLGY Essential Cleanser. Shop DRMTLGY here, coupon code BSTYLED for 20% off.
- A.M. Serum: 20% Vitamin C+E w/ Ferulic Acid
- A.M. Serum: DRMTLGY Needless Serum (Angie recently gave this serum a big thumbs up too).
- NEW…eye cream DRMTLGY Advanced Eye Cream
- NEW…I love this daily moisturizer, it glides are so easily and a little goes a long way.
- A.M. Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46. Remember, sunscreen is your #1 non-negotiable…365 days/year, rain or shine, indoors and out.
- 2-3 days per week, I use this Express Delivery Enzyme Peel. This is a product I see immediate results from, and it also helps my skin absorb the serums better. It gently lifts the dead skin and gunk (my technical term) and leaves my skin, incredibly soft and supple, with a healthy glow. It has improved my skin texture for sure. You can use code bethroy10 for 10% off.
- I use this body moisturizer every time I get out of the shower (and I use this cleanser in the shower).
- In the spring and summer, I use the Jergens Firming Gradual Tan a few times per week. I got mine at CVS but noticed the Amazon price is much lower.
- Throughout the day I apply this powder sunscreen (when I think of it). I keep it in my bag all the time…helps with shine too).
Evening Routine
1. Cleanse: Essential Cleanser from DRMTLGY.
2. Treatment: I use prescription Retin A but DRMTLGY has a highly rated Retinol .5% that I am considering switching to…Read about it here. All my research tells me that Retin A (prescription) or Retinol (OTC) is the best topical treatment for fine lines and wrinkles (next to sunscreen, which is the #1 defense)! Here’s a good article if you’re confused about Retin A and Retinol.
3. I alternate nightly between my prescription tretinoin Retin A cream and the Beautycounter Resurfacing Serum. I also use the BeautyCounter lip genius lipsticks and concealer (I use Plum True Berry the most, but also get Orchid and Rose – returns are free).
4. DRMTLGY Needless Serum(I use AM and PM).
6. DRMTLGY Peptide Night Cream
7. I also use the Colgate Whitening Pen a few times per week at bedtime.
8. I have been using this lash serum, recommended by Angie Hot & Flashy, and think it’s helping both my lashes and brows grow thicker and longer.
9. Finally, I apply this lip mask to my lips – religiously every night, year-round.
