I am not a beauty blogger, but a lot of ladies ask me about my skin, so I wanted to share! Here are 18 products I use during the cold weather months and how/why I use them.

1. Cleansing ~  I start off with exfoliating with St. Ives scrub. I then wash my face with Neutrogena Deep Clean and in the evenings I use the Clarisonic brush. All beauty routines must start with clean, scrubbed skin.
2. Toning/Pore tightening ~ I use Roc Deep Wrinkle serum in the morning for tightening. In the evening I use either La Roche-Posay Effaclar serum or Perricone MD Pre-Empt Series Skin Perfecting Serum. I use these right after cleansing and patting my face dry. They are great for tightening pores before moisturizing. Effaclar is the strongest, so not meant for all skin types.
3. Everyday Moisturizing ~ I use Jenetiqa La Creme Premiere, Lumene Overnight Bright Sleeping Cream or D’OR24K Endless Beauty Multi-Vitamin Recovery Day Cream. I usually use these products in the morning, as you can put makeup over them. I like to use more than one at a time as well. I will mix a couple of them together in the palm of my hand or layer them.
4.  Deep Moisturizing ~ During the winter months, especially, I like a heavier cream for day (if not wearing much makeup) and night before going to bed. I use No. 7 Beautiful Skin Hydration Mask, Jose Maran Whipped Argan Oil or Soap & Glory Righteous Butter. These are all great for heavy hydration.
5. Facial Oils ~ At night I also add at the end of my routine a facial oil. This might not work on gals with oily skin, but if your skin is dry, these do the trick. I love Jenetiqa Night Beauty Dry Botanical Oil, Bio-Oil, Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C Dry Skin Cocktail and Organic Argan Oil. I will either layer these on or mix them with my heavy moisturizer. Putting these on before bed will help you to wake up with soft skin.
6. Skin Bronzers ~ I wear a lot of short skirts, so I need to put a little glowing bronzer on my legs. I love Jergens Natural Glow Wet Skin Moisturizer and Victoria’s Secret Bronze.
7. You should also compliment your beauty routine with a few facials and massages each year to professionally deep clean and amp up your circulation.
8. Lastly, I think it’s always a good idea to switch out and try new products. I find that my skin is receptive to changing and mixing things up.
