The Skincare Routine to Combat Hormonal Acne + Slow Down Aging

It’s been a journey, and after years of souring non-pore clogging skincare from a variety of vendors I am thrilled to now have a trusted brand to grab most of my go-to products! Use code WIVES for 15% off any of the linked CLEARSTEM products!

AM ROUTINE

I start by rinsing my face with warm water and pat drying with THESE super soft bamboo towels (that I only use on my face) and then use THIS skinspray.
During the dry months I follow-up with THIS skin oil, during the humid summer months here I skip this step!
Next up, I use THIS lightweight moisturizer followed up with SPF, I’ve previously used Tizo (which is incredible!) but the zinc left my skin looking dull, the tint offered with THIS CLEARSTEM option prevents that from happening while protecting your skin from sun damage throughout the day.

PM ROUTINE

When I learned that my trusted moisturizer could also double as a cleanser I was an instant “YES” to jump onto the double-cleanse approach. Starting your evening routine with an oil cleanse has been likened to starting with sweeping when you’re ready to clean your floors – the oil cleanse gets up all the gunk so that when you come back through with the mop (the second cleanse) you’re getting a thorough clean. I start by rubbing about a quarter-size amount of THIS oil onto my face for about 60 seconds, then I run one of THESE bamboo towels under hot water, ring it out and lay it over my face until the towel cools. From there I wipe off the excess oil and move to step two.
THIS second cleanse is a standard cleanse and is so relaxing! The smell is incredible and I love how refreshed my face feels after.
Next up is a holy grail product for me – THIS blackhead dissolver. If a skincare brand is telling you they can reduce your pore size, they’re lying to you. That’s not possible. What is possible is clearing out your pores and keeping them clear to reduce the appearance of them, and that’s exactly what Clearity does. You put this on your face, wait ten minutes and then move onto the next step.
This was a product I initially hated have to splurge for, but now I’m a believer! THIS botox in a bottle.
I like to make sure my products are working for me when I’m sleeping so I like to amp up my moisturizer from the sunflower oil that I typically use in the AM to THIS ultra-hydrating Hydraglow before bed.
