My Weekly Skincare Routine

Developing a skincare routine was one of the best things I did for my skin. For years, I didn’t even use a cleanser in the morning. I know, I know. After some trial and error and learning about what my skin really needed, I was able to find a collection of products that keep my skin clear, bright, and hydrated. I love taking 5 minutes in the morning and evening to spend a little time on myself. If you’re looking to develop your own routine or just curious about what I use, I’m breaking it all down for you below.

Weekly Schedule

Here’s a sample of a weekly routine for me! I don’t follow it to a T, but I like to use different products at night during the week to treat different areas of concern. Save this graphic if you want a quick reference to my skincare schedule!

It’s worth noting that you do not need to buy these products or spend outside of your budget for your skincare. I have tried a lot of products over the years and these are the brands that seem to work really well for my skin. Just because a product is expensive, does not mean it is going to work better for your skin! There’s also a few websites that offer similar suggestions based on the key ingredients in a product (such as SkinSkool and SkinSort).
