What I Do To Get Young Looking Skin

You girls know I love taking care of my skin! I’m super open about my injectables (which you can learn more about from my injectables highlight on Instagram!) and deffo recommend if you’re into that sort of thing! Of course injectables help with maintaining a youthful complexion, BUT I’m also very passionate about keeping up with an in-depth skincare routine to help my skin stay in the best shape possible…alongside drinking plenty of water of course 😉 Scroll through to learn about what I use morning, evening, and even my special treatment products for an extra boost from time to time. TRUST ME, you’re going to want these in your routine.

Before we get into it, it totally takes a village when it comes to what I use to keep my skin happy… I also switch out my products super often because I love trying new things! Right now my skin is stressed + hormonal which is causing some breakouts…hello covid masks! This is unusual for me so you’ll see some adult acne products while still ensuring I’m focusing on anti-aging (duh!). Last thing to keep in mind for my breakdown: I have dry/combo skin in my T-Zone.

MORNING:

  • Tula Cleanser: Great everyday cleanser that won’t dry me out. You can use my code ‘lucyswhims for 10% off!

  • C Ferulic: This serum is high in VitC and is probably the 4th bottle I’ve bought! Brightens + firms and I’ll probably never stop using it! Until I find something better 😜

  • Cold Brew: So important to use a great antioxidant to protect your skin from free radicals that is one of the biggest aging factors! This is a clean line at Sephora.

  • Primera Alpine Berry Cream: I have really dry skin so this has been awesome! Rich but not greasy.

  • Eye Cream: I'm sensitive to milia so I opt for a pretty gentle hydrating eye cream. I've really liked this one!

  • EltaMD: One of the best SPFs out there! Does NOT make me break out, doesn't leave my skin sticky and it also comes in a tinted formula that's great too!

EVENING:

  • Cleanser: I always double cleanse at night! Highly recommend if you want to see changes in your skin! Helps get breakouts under control, ensures your (expensive) serums penetrate and will make your skin look so much brighter! What is Double Cleansing: 1st Cleanse is with a balm or oil cleanser that break downs make up 2nd Cleanse washes everything clean and fresh and gives you that deep cleanse! (notice that's how they cleanse your skin when you get a facial!)

  • Cleansing Cloths: If you've followed me for a while you know these cloths are an absolute must have! The best $6 you'll spend. These are what I use for my first balm/oil cleanser!

  • Skinceitucals HA Intensifier: I've used this for a long time and love! Visible results of firmer skin. I'd say its a must have product for anti-aging!

  • Primera Firming: This is a great option is you are looking for a clean/natural formula! Similar results as the above but takes longer to see the results.

  • Augustinus Bader: This is expensive so I only use it at night to make it last longer! Leaves my skin hydrated and feeling plump!

  • Colleen Rothschild Eye Serum: I love retinol and truly think its the fountain of youth! This eye serum is effective to soften fine lines and lighten pigmentation BUT still gentle!

  • UBeauty: OMG I cannot rave about this product enough! I bought it maybe 3 weeks ago because I’d seen some bloggers/you tubers who’s opinions I respect rave about it but I was skeptical. WELL let me tell you I have seen such a huge difference in my skin since just the 2 weeks, brighter and my sun spots have faded pretty drastically! It’s also completely taken care of the stubborn breakouts I was having! I took before pics that i will be sharing soon but I just want to give it a full month. I was using it both day and night for a week but then I got too dry so now it’s just evening until I build a tolerance! (I have replaced the two above serums while testing this)

TREATMENT: I cherry pick depending on my skins needs.

  • Lancer: Once a week…especially the day before I self tan

  • Lotion P50V: When My skin needs brightening! 1-2 times a week. Mild peel.

  • Lapis: To help control break outs while NOT drying me out!

  • 24K Gold: Instant glow! I love to use this right before a special occasion or photoshoots for a gorgeous glow.

  • Stim Skin Red Light: I keep this in my nightstand drawer and use at least 4-5 times a week. It's kinda relaxing while I watch TV. SO good to build collagen and firm! Also help pigmentation.

  • Retinol: I have used Retinol for at least the last 10 year and I 100% see the difference when I'm on a good retinol routine! My skin is bright, firm and even! I use Dr Zoe Perfect Fave Liquid Gold and love. Retinol is not for everyone and make sure you're not breastfeeding/preg.... more details HERE.

  • Face Razors: i shave my face weekly. More details HERE.

  • Glo Pro Pads: These are really mild and I almost use them as a toner. In am or pm before my serums! I don’t use them everyday but just when my skin us feeling slugish or during hormonal breakouts.
