Last week in Bionic Asks, we talked about our before-bed skincare routines. This week, it’s time to share our wake-up routines!
Upon rising n’ shining, I grab a cup of coffee, let the dogs out to potty and then take a quick few minutes for myself.
Here’s my step by step morning regimen:
- Wash face with soft n’ fuzzy wash cloth and plain lukewarm water. Pat dry.
- If it’s super dry, I apply eye serum for day time (like during the winter). I’ve been using either Boots Restore & Renew or YBF’s Correct on a rotation basis.
- Spot treat any breakouts with benzoyl peroxide cream (I use 2.5% since it’s pretty gentle).
- Apply SPF lotion. Currently I’m really loving C.O. Bigelow’s Extra light oil-free face lotion with SPF 15.
Then it’s back to morning chores. Catching up on the blog, reading emails and my friends’ blogs before breakfast. If it’s a weekend or I’m headed out, I’ll put on my makeup after a quick breakfast.
