I have always suffered from extremely dry skin making me feel uncomfortable and super insecure. My skin would be so dry that it would start to peel and to make the matter worse makeup would make it more visible. So, I have decided that it was time to make a change and take better care of my dry skin.
It has taken me awhile to find the perfect combination of skin care products for my dry skin, but I think I have found the best combination of products and routine to keep my skin healthy.
I hope my recommendation will help if you suffer from the same dry skin problem as I do.
My 6 Step Skin Care Routine
The first step to my skin care routine is using a face cleanser to remove makeup, dead skin cells, oil and dirt. I have been using Pixi Beauty Glow Mud Cleanser forever and it really feels like my skin gets a deep clean after each use. I use this cleanser every day. Pixi Beauty Glow Mud Cleanser contains Glycolic Acid and Aloe Vera, which helps gently exfoliate without being harsh on the skin. It also helps combat the oils in my t-zone and even helps clear up breakouts.
The second step to my routine is an exfoliating rice enzyme powder. This process helps exfoliate and keep my pores clear. I use Tatcha Rice Enzyme Powder three times a week to remove dead skin giving my skin a super smooth feel. It contains different ingredients to help your skin reduce fine lines, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation. I love the feeling of my skin after each use.
The third step is to use Pixi Beauty Glow Tonic. Ingredients in this toner, Glycolic Acid, Aloe Vera, and Ginseng, help with complexion and picks up any leftover dirt and oil. I use this product everyday]. It really does make the extra difference in brightening my skin.
The fourth step is to moisturize the skin with Kiehl’s Hydro-Plumping Re- Texturizing Serum Concentrate. This product helps plump skin with intensive moisture, revive dull skin for a smoother look. I noticed a difference right away and it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, which I was worried about. To test how effective this product really is I stopped using it to see if there was a major difference and there totally was. A few days after I stopped I could see the lines coming back.
The fifth step is to hydrate under and around the eyes. This steps requires two treatments a day, once in the morning and once at night. Kiehl’s Rosa Artica Eye Cream is used in the morning to hydrate under my eyes and Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye is used at night to help fight dark circles, fine lines and puffiness around the eyes. Since you only need to apply a small amount for each treatment the cream will last a long time.
The sixth step is my moisturizer. I have one for during the day and one for nighttime. During the day I use Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer. This product gives my skin the perfect amount of hydration and it also helps my makeup apply more evenly underneath primer. For night time, I use Belif the True Cream – Aqua Bomb. This product has a nice cooling sensation when applied.
And if you need an extra boost of hydration, I recommend Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray. When I feel my skin needs that extra boost I just spray it on my face after my regular routine. This moisturizing face spray can even be used over your makeup.
Majority of the products I covered today can be purchased at Sephora, except for Pixi Beauty. All Pixi Beauty products can be found at your local Target.
Well that completes my 6 Step Skin Care Routine for Dry Skin. I hope the combination of skin care products I have recommended help with you dry skin. I will be testing other skin care products and will be giving my review in a later post.
