Good Day everyone! Today I wanted to share my current morning skincare routine.
It’s been about seven months since my last update, and many of the products I use daily have changed. These are the items I reach for most often lately. For context, my skin tends to be dry, sensitive, and prone to breakouts, so I always aim for products that feel gentle yet effective.
1. Hada Labo Hyaluronic Acid Premium Lotion
This has quickly become a staple in my routine. In the morning, I skip cleanser and simply rinse with water to keep things simple. While my skin is still slightly damp, I apply a small amount—about the size of a coin—across my skin and allow it to absorb fully before moving on. With multiple types of hyaluronic acid in the formula, it helps keep my skin feeling comfortably hydrated and soft for hours without feeling heavy.
On Accutane? This simple morning routine keeps skin calm, comfy, and ready for the day!
Dry ends again? Soft strands stay smooth, shine lasts, frizz backs off fast!
Late nights again? Puffy eyes calm down fast, focus back, face feels awake!
Dry lips? Gloss or balm wins! Three shades hit hard, last long, feel kiss-ready! T
Pricey but trusted? This one step stays, skin feels rich, calm, and clear!
Flat face days? One swipe wakes skin, cheeks glow soft, mood lifts fast!
2. Beekman 1802 Bloom Cream
Another recent favorite that I’ve been enjoying a lot. I use one pump and gently spread it across my skin. The texture is lightweight and smooth, making it easy to apply evenly. Although it leaves a subtle glow, I don’t mind the finish because it gives my skin a healthy look. I’ve also noticed that it helps soothe visible redness, which is a big plus for sensitive skin days.
3. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
This is my targeted moisture step. Instead of applying it everywhere, I focus on areas that need extra care—mainly my cheeks and forehead. These spots tend to feel tight or look flaky, especially in the mornings. The cream adds an extra layer of comfort and helps keep those areas feeling balanced throughout the day.
4. Anessa Sunscreen
To finish, I use this sunscreen to protect my skin from harmful UV rays. It provides broad-spectrum protection while feeling lightweight and comfortable on the skin. This step ensures that all the hydration and care I’ve applied stays effective while preventing sun-related damage.
This routine has been working really well for me lately. It feels simple, calming, and supportive without being overwhelming. I like that each product serves a clear purpose and fits nicely into my mornings. If you have dry or sensitive, breakout-prone skin like mine, I hope this routine gives you a few ideas to try or adjust for your own needs!
