Listen! I had to take a long break from social media and this blog due to some health issues, I will explain in another post, but I came back, I’ve been writing beauty-related posts for a long time, so I’m so excited for this – I’m sharing my daily skincare routine for the winter using forever living products. !
You might be thinking, uh, another girl shares her skincare routine. But, I will tell you why you should believe anything I suggest. I’ve worked on a more comprehensive blog post explaining this, but below is a short version.
One insight about my skin is that I have combination skin. That means my T-zone is greasy and my face is normal all over and sometimes dry. Although I have occasional breakouts during that time of the month, I do not suffer from acne. I have been following this routine for a few months and it helps keep my skin hydrated, glowing, and healthy during the cold NYC winter.
Some of you may be more inclined to use a product that will last forever, but I always prioritize skincare and I believe all of these steps are worth it! Additionally, this routine is manageable — it only takes 5 to 10 minutes.
MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE
CLEANSING:
I start my mornings by cleansing my skin. Sometimes I do not use any cleansers and wash my face with cold water only – I do this when my skin is feeling dry.
Anyways, I just started using Infinite By Forever™ Hydrating Cleanser And I love it! hydrating cleanser is packed with potent, naturally derived ingredients that increase skin hydration and gently wash away dirt and oil without drying. This mild, milky cleanser will leave your skin feeling nourished, hydrated, and clean. It is very gentle, but it removes my makeup completely without drying out my skin.
It is on the expensive side, but I think it’s worth it, especially if you have sensitive skin.
EXFOLIATE (not daily):
I exfoliate only once a week, otherwise, my skin will get irritated. By exfoliating, you will remove dead skin cells and it will soften your skin. I use Smoothing Exfoliator through Forever Living products. It removes glowing skin and dead skin cells to reveal a smoother tone and texture. The Smoothing Exfoliator uses five powerful and natural ingredients such as jojoba beads that work together to provide a rejuvenating cleansing experience. I have been using it for months and it works wonderfully.
TONER:
I used Balancing Toner: Forever’s Balancing Toner is designed to ensure that all dirt and debris is removed, while at the same time reducing the appearance of pores and adding extra hydration. Use between cleansing and moisturizing to moisturize and soften skin. I use it daily.
APPLY SERUM:
After the toner, I apply my serum on my face with my fingers product. I am currently using a hydrating serum product that will live forever. Every day your skin is exposed to environmental pressures that contribute to dryness and signs of aging. Increase hydration in your skincare routine with Forever Hydrating Serum to keep your skin fresh, smooth, and youthful. It not only fills your skin with silky moisture but also accelerates the benefits of your favorite Forever moisturizer.
The energy behind this formula comes from four types of hyaluronic acid, each of which plays a key role in maintaining hydration. Hyaluronic acid is an intense skin moisturizer that is 1,000 times heavier than water. Together, the four types work together to replenish water on the skin surface and retain moisture from the inside out, but also improve elasticity, resulting in plump skin.
APPLY OIL:
Since it is winter, I want to keep my skin more moisturized, and hence I use Forever Alpha-E Factor®, which fights cuticles and drains to provide powerful antioxidants such as Retinyl Palmitate which contains vitamins A, E, and C. Increase elasticity, restore moisture, and balance the skin with a few drops! It is one of the best products I have tried, it has an expensive side but its price is definitely worth it. It is very light and is rapidly absorbed into the skin, making it soft for the baby, preventing aging, and promoting skin elasticity. I put 3 drops on my face and massage it on my skin in a circular motion. You have to wait 5-10 minutes before applying the moisturizer and makeup, I only do it at night.
MOISTURIZER:
It is important to apply moisturizer, especially in winter. I started using aloe moisturizing lotion
By Forever Living Products. This thick, velvet lotion provides more than just moisture. Aloe moisturizing lotion helps in the overall feel and elasticity of the skin by adding collagen and elastin. Because I have oily skin in my T-zone. This moisturizer makes the shine a little dull and takes longer for my skin to stay oily and glowing again. This moisturizer is very gentle – suitable for sensitive skin, hydrates and moisturizes, plus it smells great.
SUNSCREEN:
Finally, I apply sunscreen. It is important to apply sunscreen every day when it is cloudy and even in winter. Sunscreen prevents aging by protecting your skin from UV rays. The sunscreen I use and definitely like is Alo Sunscreen. It’s definitely on the expensive side, but what I like about it is that it has a serum consistency and is very lightweight. It absorbs very quickly into the skin and does not leave a milky white mark. It protects against visible signs of aging due to sun, pollution, and digital over-exposure. So, if you spend a ton of time in front of the screen, it will also protect your skin. It also doubles as a primer because it evens out your skin and is ready to apply foundation. It is very light and is absorbed into the skin without leaving a white mark.
NIGHTLY SKINCARE ROUTINE:
At night I repeat almost all the steps I did in the morning except applying sunscreen. I use the same products except for the moisturizer. At night, my daily routine goes like this: cleaning, toning, applying serums and oils, moisturizing, and applying lip masks.
As soon as I apply my serums and oils, I apply aloe moisturizing lotion. This is the best night cream I have ever tried. I can not put into words how much I like this moisturizer. It soothes my skin, keeps me hydrated, and makes the baby feel soft the next morning. I personally can not stand products that look too heavy and greasy and this cream is very light + is rapidly absorbed into your skin and the scent makes me feel like in a spa full of roses. Since it is a serious moisturizer, I thought it would make my T-zone greasy, but it did not! I totally recommend it!
The last step in my overnight skincare routine is to apply a lip mask. I am using Forever Aloe Lips
And I really like it. My lips crack, which helps a lot, especially in the winter! However, I think you can get the same result using lip balm. It definitely depends on your budget. And it’s my skincare routine in the winter! Thanks for reading and you can shop all the products mentioned below.
