My Daily Skincare Routine [Spring 2020]
TOWELS: WEEZIE (C/O) | SKINCARE PRODUCTS: BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE CLEANSER AND TONER
Something that has been top of mind for me lately is skincare! As the days and weeks have begun to blur together during quarantine, there is one sure thing that separates my days and nights: my morning and evening skincare routine!
I am someone who looooves trying new beauty products and having “spa nights” at home. There is something so soothing and refreshing about lighting a candle, putting on a peaceful playlist, and giving your skin a little love.
MY SKIN STORY
For a few years, I think I got a little carried away trying a few too many beauty products and my skin went through an unfortunate phase of some not-so-pretty breakouts. My skin went from dry to oily in a matter of months, and I struggled to find a solution for my breakouts (I think I tried every skincare/ acne line under the sun) until I headed to Dallas for the rewardStyle Conference last April and booked an appointment at Joanna Czech. When sharing with friends, I usually call this my “once in a lifetime” facial. It was very extra (!!) but truly exceeded all expectations and finally helped clear up my skin- 100% worth it!
At Joanna Czech I was introduced to what I call my miracle products from Biologique Recherche: the Lait U Cleanser and P50V Exfoliator/Toner. After my facial, I began using these products religiously, and I am happy to report my skin hasn’t been clearer or felt more healthy in probably 5 years. These products have had an incredible impact on my skin, and I have heard they have worked wonders for others as well.
Now, fast forward to a few weeks ago (a couple weeks into quarantine) when I started realizing some not-so-pretty dark circles showing up under my eyes. This was very unusual for me, and I wasn’t exactly sure what was causing it. Ironically, around the same time I received an email asking if I was interested in trying two of Murad’s newest products targeted at helping just that- brightening skin and correcting dark circles. I immediately said YES and jumped at the opportunity to try out Murad’s Vitamin C Glycolic Brightening Serum and Dark Circle Correcting Eye Serum.
To be honest, I didn’t have super high expectations (I didn’t really believe there was a product that could make these go away!) but after three days I was shocked to find the dark circles under my eyes essentially gone! It was truly such a happy surprise! I now look forward to using these two products (Brightening Serum and Eye Serum) day and night, knowing how they are dramatically brightening and hydrating my skin.
I am so happy to share my full daily skincare routine and the products I currently use each day and night below- including a few masks I love alternating every few days!
If you have any skincare/ beauty questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. I am no skincare pro by any means, but I have tried my fair share of products!

DAILY SKINCARE
1. BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE LAIT U
A smooth, milky cleanser that clears my face of any leftover makeup and leaves my face feeling hydrated.
2. BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE P50V 1970
My #1 miracle worker! The smell is definitely strong but has transformed my skin and given it new life. I apply it with a cotton round and press into my face.
3. MURAD Vitamin C Glycolic Brightening Serum
A silky smooth serum that has helped brighten and hydrate my skin. It feels like putting a glowy protective barrier on my skin each morning and night.
4. MURAD Vitamin C Dark Circle Correcting Eye Serum
My other miracle worker! This eye serum de-puffed and erased the dark circles under my eyes after just a few days of using it. Still blown away by its dramatic effects!
5. BEAUTYCOUNTER Matte Effect Gel Cream
The best moisturizer I have found for oily/ acne-prone skin. I have tried a handful of moisturizers but always come back to this one!
MASKS I USE WEEKLY
1. Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask
Saw a difference in my skin after just one time using this mask. I will forever be a fan!
2. Beautycounter Charcoal Facial Mask
A great mask for helping unclog pores. Always leaves my skin feeling really fresh and extra clean.
3. GOOP Exfoliating Instant Facial
One of my favorites for at home “spa-nights”! It is a bit strong for some and has a “tingle” to it but love the refreshing feeling.
