Want Glowing Skin? Here Are My Morning Routine Secrets
First things first and the most important thing to healthy glowing skin: DO NOT cleanse in the morning! Just a little rinse of water at the sink or in the shower will do. You want to keep all the natural oils on your skin. No stripping them with a morning cleanse! My step-by-step morning routine:
STEP ONE:
DRY BRUSH
I RECOMMEND AN IONIC DRY BRUSH KNOWN AS THE ‘ENERGY BRUSH’ THE FINE COPPER WIRE BRISTLES NATURALLY CREATE NEGATIVELY CHARGED IONS WITH FRICTION AS YOU BRUSH REGROUNDING YOUR NATURAL ENERGY STATE: THE EXACT REASON I AM OBSESSED WITH DRY BRUSHING. IT’S GREAT FOR THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM AND HELPS TO REDUCE INFLAMMATION BUT WHAT I NOTICE THE MOST IS THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY IT GIVES ME THROUGHOUT THE DAY. POST BRUSHING HOP IN THE SHOWER AND FOLLOW WITH THE HAPPY GALAXY OR THE DNA BODY NECTAR.
STEP TWO:
RINSE
No cleanse, just a warm water rinse in the shower. Leave the water on your face and do not pat dry with your towel. No need to add any bacteria to your skin from your towel.
STEP THREE:
MASK
2-4 times a week I love to do a mud mask. The May Lindstrom Problem Solver is my holy grail when it comes to masking. Put it on right when you get up and leave it on for 30 minutes. Check your email, have your coffee, then hop in the shower to remove. You won't want to deal with the mess it will leave on your sink! Masking can be done in the morning or evening, whatever works best for your schedule honestly.
STEP FOUR:
SPRITZ
Once the water has dried a little do a few spritzes of May Lindstrom Jasmine Gardens for an aromatherapeutic start to your day and to add more moisture before you begin adding products.
STEP FIVE:
SERUM
Add a few drops of Mukti VItal B Elixir to your palms and press into your face. once that’s absorbed add 1-2 pumps of the JOSH ROSEBROOK COLLAGEN SERUM (use code xoxo10 for 10% off) to your palms and spread evenly over entire face, neck and chest. Don’t skimp the under eye area!
STEP SIX:
EYE CREAM
Dab a small amount of Furtuna Eye Cream onto your finger tips and lightly tap the entire under eye area as well as the eyelid. Always use the excess around the lines of your mouth!
STEP SEVEN:
MOISTURIZE
Apply a pea size amount of Furtuna Nightly Renewal Cream to your palm and rub over entire face and neck. I realize this is a night cream being used in the morning, just trust me!
STEP EIGHT:
TINTED MOISTURIZER/SPF/MASCARA
Lastly, top off your yummy skincare (if you’re going to be outdoors) with the Josh Rosebrook Tinted Nutrient Day Cream SPF 30 (use code xoxo10 for 10% off) my favorite! AND DON’T FORGET TO COVER YOUR NECK, CHEST AND TOPS OF YOUR HANDS WITH THE SKY & SOL spf 30 (10% off applied at checkout! you can also use that on your face for extra coverage. sometimes i layer it under my tinted spf! Finish with Thrive Liquid lash extensions mascara and you’re ready to start your day!
