MY CURRENT MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE | NORMAL/OILY SKIN

Happy November! Today I'm all talking all about the skincare routine I've been doing in the mornings over the past three to four months. I use different products in the morning and at night, and I always love to read about what people are currently using, so I thought I would share mine!

In general, I go by three set steps: Cleanser, tone, and moisturize. In addition to those three things, I like to add in a skin treatment and an additional toner spray because it just feels amazing in the morning when I get out of the shower.

CLEANSE

I wrote about Pixi's Glow Mud Cleanser a few weeks ago, so you can read it here if you want more information, but I love using this in the morning because it feels very gentle on the skin. It does its job in removing any leftover product from my nighttime skincare routine and is an overall great cleanser for the morning time to prep my skin for the rest of the products.

TONE

One of my holy grail products is The Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil Skin Clearing Mattifying Toner. I've literally been using this since 2009 and even though I've tried different toners here and there, I somehow always return to this product. I like to put a little on a cotton pad and rub it all over my face, focusing on my T-zone as that's where I tend to get most oily.

As an addition to my toning step, I like to spritz Hylamide's Hydra Density Mist all over my face to calm it after the tea tree toner, and it also gives an extra boost of moisture!

MOISTURIZE

Before moisturizing, I will use a drop of The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum to combat my oily skin and any blemishes. For my daily moisturizer, Purlisse's Blue Lotus Daily Essential Moisturizer. It's super lightweight and non greasy, and it even has SPF 30, which is a must for the daytime.

What is your morning skincare routine like? I'd love to know so let me know in the comments down below :)
