Morning
I usually don't wash my face prior to putting on makeup, unless it feels funky. Generally, I just wash my hands, then spritz my face with the unapologetically princess-y Boscia Balancing Facial Tonic. Once that dries, I apply two big drops of the Caudelie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum. I wait 10 or so minutes, then apply the Olay moisturizer and eye cream, these days it's Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream. Once everything is mostly set, I move onto makeup.
Evening
I take my face off with Body Shop Chamomile Cleansing Oil (I massage it into a dry face, then melt it with a washcloth soaked in hot water, which is frequently in the top 3 best moments of my day) and then cleanse using the Dove Beauty Bar for Sensitive Skin. On the days I shower, or when my skin feels particularly yucky, I use my Clarisonic, with the sensitive head on (which I get for 1/4 of the price on Amazon, because who wants to pay 20 bucks for a brush head?!). Once my skin is clean, I apply the Caudalie serum again. After 15 minutes, I massage half a dropper of L'Oreal Regenerist Luminous Oil into my skin. One of the biggest things that works for my skin has been massage. I look like an absolute idiot while I do it, but kneading my facial muscles really helps keep my skin look elastic. It may seem ridiculous, but I really do think my makeup goes on better and my skin is more radiant after I do it (this video is what I follow, though minus the weird tool thing).
Occasionally
I use facial masks whenever I get the urge, basically. I have a bunch of cheap ones I rotate through. For me, it's rare to see any big difference, but I do enjoy the ritual and think it's fun.
And that's it. Nothing too complicated or fancy, but it works well and I find that my skin responds best to un-fussy routine.
