I never worried too much about what products I used on my skin until recently.. And by recently I mean until I noticed that wrinkles started at age 24 (yay). If you’re lucky enough to have no signs of aging yet, it’s still never too early to start protecting your skin and maintaining a healthier lifestyle in general. This year I started using a few products to help exfoliate, clean, moisturize, and repair my skin. Read about what I’m using and my #1 skincare tip below!
- A Sensitive Skin Facial Brush (I use this one for my face)
- 1 Normal Skin Facial Brush
- 1 Body Brush (bigger for more coverage)
- 1 oz. Renewal Facial Cream Cleanser (put this directly on your skin and use the brush + water to distribute it throughout your face)
- .35 oz. Day/Night Daily Moisturize (small size of my daily moisturizer)
Aside from the products I use for my skin, my number one tip for a healthy complexion is SLEEP. Good sleep habits are essential for a clear complexion. Getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night helps to restore your skin’s balance, promotes collagen production, and cell repair..and if you don’t get the right amount of zzz’s, your skin will definitely show it. ALSO – try to sleep on your back, constant pressure against your pillow can cause wrinkles and set in lines.
My other tips for smoother, brighter, and healthier skin:
-Always wear SPF, even in the winter! I never use anything less than 30 SPF if I’m going to the beach/pool.
-Drink lots of water!
-Eat foods that are good for your skin:
*strawberries decrease the appearance of dialated pores
*lemons are a natural disinfectant, astringent, cleanser, and skin lightener.
*oats relieve dryness and restore moisture and help heal minor irritations
*chicken
*oysters
-Working out boosts circulation which gives your skin that extra glow and supports the production of collagen. Plus, all the sweating cleans out your pores.
-Avoid crash diets. If you lose weight too fast you’re probably shedding water, not fat, and that loss tends to first show up in your face.
-Say no to stress – the affects of stress can accelerate aging by 10 years.. (I know, when I read that I started stressing out too..)

I love reading your blog and sorry if you've already mentioned this and I missed it, but do you use to keep your skin color year round?
Thanks for the tips! I've been wanting to get some sort of exfoliating brush, I'm 22 and I'm already seeing some wrinkles around my eyes 🙁
