I have a testimony...

...of my new skin care routine.
I have always had great skin, but since having Sawyer I have gotten more zits than I ever did in junior high & high school combined. It makes me a wee bit annoyed. It is physically impossible for me to not pop zits, and therefore I am getting icky scars on my face. Not lovely.
But I recently discovered a few new products that I am in love with and I think it would be rude to not share.



#1- Kirkland Signature Daily Facial Wipes. I always wash my face in the shower, but at night, it's like pulling teeth to get me to take my makeup off, and Loreli Gilmore would be ashamed of me. I have often wished that I could give my face & teeth to Matt & have him take care of them while I snuggled in bed. But guess what, these little buddies fit right in my nightstand & one is all I need to get all my makeup off and have that "just got a facial" yummy feeling. My skin is back to good again!



#2- I am determined to have great skin when I'm 90. Sunblock, check! Vitamins, check! Lots of water, check! Sunglasses to prevent squinting, check! But I recently bought my first wrinkle cream & I am in love with it. It took a few days for my face to get used to it, but now I put it on every night and I totally feel firmer. Get it at Costco in a two-pack for much, much cheaper.



#3- The retinol in the RoC makes your skin more susceptible to sunburn, so be sure to load up on sunscreen in the morning. I especially love this'n. Aveeno Positively Radiant SPF 30 is bueno.
So yeah, there ya go. If you have any suggestions, or favorite products, let me know.

Yes, the night thing. The zit thing. I was fortunate during my teens to get one big humdinger of a zit at a time (so embarrassing) every few weeks and after having three kids, I breakout worse now!!!! The hormones ! GO AWAY!

I am totally getting some of those face wipes next time I'm out. I take care to use soft-antiallergetic wipes on the kids butts but don't give a crap about my face. Go figure. Not anymore! LOL

I (heart) aveeno products.
