Fall Skincare Routine

As the weather is changing for some of us and we're settling into our fall routines–I thought I'd share with you one of the staples I've found that lasts me through any season, my fall skincare routine. No matter what season I'm in, I've always struggled with clogged pores and dry skin, even despite how diligent I am about taking care of my skin–but recently I feel like I have finally come to a product routine that has improved that drastically.I also want to add that before quarantine I was regularly getting facials to help me find a good medium with my skin, but since quarantine, I wasn't able to get a facial in seven or so months. Recently I just went back to my facialist who knows my skin so well, and she said that my skin is looking better than it ever has–I seriously owe it to these products and routine.Skin can be such an important topic for all of us, though we don't always talk about it–having clean and clear skin really can attribute to your confidence! I know that some of my issues can be issues that we all experience, especially in the fall season, so I'm excited to share with you and hope this helps!My Morning Routine

kate somerville: my game-changer

There are some things in life that are worth the investment, ie: a house, a good pair of jeans, and great skincare products. I feel like I've spent the majority of my life searching for skincare products that work for me. I tried everything from Proactiv, to stuff you can get at the drugstore, to dermatologist-perscribed medication. Nothing every truly worked for my skin like Kate Somerville products have.[show_ms_widget id="14503752" image_id="15301252" width="800" height="800"]I first discovered Kate Somerville when I was working at Neiman Marcus and a coworker recommended it to me. She said once she tried these products, she's never felt the need to try anything else, and that has been my experience exactly. Growing up, I always struggled with combination skin, and I thought this would naturally go away once you get out of those teen years. Well, that was not the case for me.I noticed right away that Kate Somerville products did wonders for clearing my breakouts and giving me an even skin tone. (If you are prone to breakouts, I highly recommend the Exfolikate, EradiKate treatment and EradiKate mask.)No matter what your skin type is, I also highly recommend the detox daily cleanser & moisturizer. These should be staples in every skincare routine. This moisturizer is amazing because it doesn't just provide hydration, it also helps prevent excess oil production commonly associated with oily and acne-prone skin. It also helps to firm and tighten the appearance of skin, while minimizing the look of wrinkles.Which brings me to my next point! I chose Kate Somerville products not only because they did wonders for clearing breakouts, but because the anti-aging effects are life-changing! Seriously. I know my skin will thank me for using these products in 10, 20, 30 years! And they're clearly less expensive than paying for Botox or any medical procedure to get rid of wrinkles down the road. The RetAsphere Micro Peel infuses skin with pure Retinol to help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and speeds up cell renewal. It also helps remove dead skin on the skin's surface to improve the appearance of pores, and softens and evens out your skin tone. It's formulated to deliver clinic-level results overnight without irritation! I've only used this product for a week or so and can already tell a huge difference in my skin tone. (Use this product every other night)If you're used to buying your face wash from the grocery store, these products might seem on the pricy said. However, if your current products aren't working for you or you're frustrated with your skin, I speak from personal experience when I say that Kate Somerville products have been a total game-changer for me! If you try any of these out (or use them already!) I'd love to hear your feedback!

my skin product regime.

I have been getting many questions about what I use on my skin, so here it is! Before I begin, I would like to mention my extensive research and testing before I commit to what I use on my face. I have tried multiple brands over the years that profess to change your pore size, break outs, and blah blah blah, but they all drastically failed. So, I took a plunge and went against my hesitation of using organic products, and my skin has never looked better!!! True statement: I refuse to switch products for as long as I love. I am hooked on the healthy glow.Side note: the summarized reason why I adore each product is written below. If you have any questions for me, comment on the post!Important fact: if you are breaking out, don't fail to moisturize. That will not promote oil…it will provide your skin with much needed hydration creating clear skin. For a while, I believed the opposite.Here is what I use daily, and it is in the chronological order of use.MORNINGSkin by Ann Webb Super Vitamin C Serum (why I love: this heals any damage on your skin from the sun, acne, or scars.
