everyone has a favorite skincare routine, right? we were all taught back in elementary/middle school how important it is to take care of your skin and you went to the clinique counter to find out your skin type, brought home all your new goodies, and promised yourself and your mom that you would do all 3 steps DAILY, morning and at night. yeah right.

i remember being so excited when my mom FINALLY took me to clinique. i thought i was soooo cool; then about three weeks later i was all like, "this is for the birds" and only washed my face twice a day and rarely put the rest of the steps/make up on. it really wasn't until my freshman year in college (i know, so ashamed) that i really got into a routine and found out what worked for me.


face wash: MOUSSE EXFOLIANTE PURETÉ  // clean & clear morning burst

face lotion: HYDRA BEAUTY CRÈME  // neutrogena oil free moisture, sensitive skin

face toner: LOTION CONFORT

face mask: pores be pure // biore deep cleansing pore strips

clarasonic: i don't actually have a clarasonic, i have some other brand that i don't remember the name of but all i know is that mine came with like 7 different heads all for different purposes and i love it. if i remember the name of it, i will post it here!

lip care: e.l.f. lip exfoliate // eos sweet mint

body lotion: c. booth 4-in-1 multi-action body lotion vanilla butter // YALL this is the BEST on the planet. thanks to my sophomore roomie marg for introducing this amazing goodness to me. first of all it's only $10 for the whole huge bottle. i put on lotion twice a day all over my body and one of the bottles can last me almost an entire year. like it's amazing, if you don't use it try it. even my sister who has itchy legs and has tried a ton of products uses this now and it helps lower her itching! i love it. love love love it.

body wash: aveeno stress relief // sleep aromatherapy bath and body works // country chic b&bw

PSA: about the chanel products, yes they are SUPER expensive but they last me YEARS. like i'm not exaggerating, years. totally worth it in my opinion!
