My Skincare Routine Products
Oh, the wonderful 40's. I am 47 right now and skin care is very important to me. (my daughter and myself in picture) I consider myself a frugal shopper, and always looking for deals and do find some cheaper alternatives that work just as good as some of the more expensive brands out there but sometimes when it comes to my face and skin, I splurge a bit if I find a product I love! If it makes me happy, and works well it is worth it and I have found some products that do just that! Here are some of my favorite products I have found over the years. This is not to say I use all of this stuff daily, but it's all stuff I have tried and love and have in my beauty routine.

Philosophy Purity Made Simply One-Step Facial Cleanser
The story behind me finding this wonderful facial cleanser by Philosophy is my daughter. With her being younger she was more up to date then her mom on new products on the market while I am still using my regular facial wash that I thought worked just fine she really pushed me to give this a try. It's just a cleanser I am thinking, how great can it be! Well, it turned out after even my first time using it I could tell that I had found my new forever cleanser. This product felt great, you could feel your face felt fresh and clean, it also lightly tones and hydrates and you will see a differance. The price tag was not my usual spending amount for a face wash, but I quickly found out that just a little bit goes a long way and a bottle was lasting me many, many months! You can read the reviews this product has.

The Ordinary Peeling Solution & Hyaluronic Acid 2%
The ordinary products have become extremely popular and that is for good reason! The product works really well and the price is amazingly affordable! I love my peeling solution and hyaloronic acid as part of my skin care routine. The hyaluronic acid helps keep my skin plump and hydrated all day and the peel solution is great for textural irregularities, dullness, and signs of congested pores.
Exfoliating Gloves Body Scrubber
You do not even know how much you needed exfoliating gloves in your life until you try it. It is a very inexpensive way to exfoliate in the shower and have your body and legs feeling amazingly clean. Do not forget to use a body lotion or oil after shower to leave your body feeling super soft and clean. (and legs look pretty sexy too!)
This lightweight, non greasy Cetephil body lotion is great for after shower to give your skin the hydration is needs to feel great. It has Hyaluron Acid, Vitamin E & B5 and adsorbs quickly. Body lotions are always hard for me to choose but this one is my main choice. Body lotions seem to multiple in the house, you get them as gifts, you want a coconut smelling one in summer, you want a different scent for fall and winter, etc and suddendly you have 20 bottles of lotion and at Christmas you may just get more as it's a popular gift item. I still enjoy all my lotions and switch it up but this one is my daily main choice that I make sure to always have.
