The Obsession
Skincare for me is an investment, hobby, obsession, and part-time job. It’s a moment to myself. Practicing gratitude while I wash my face and complete each step. Breathe. Pause. Focus. Especially in a world where we are glued to our phones and distracted by all the noise.
I want to break down my complete morning and nighttime routine. However this does not mean you have too nor should you be copying mine. Your skincare needs should be individualized to you. With that being said, you may be in the market for a new moisturizer or serum. And that my friend you will find here!
I highly recommend seeing a professional to evaluate your skin so you know how best to care for it. Because why not treat our most precious feature with lots of love?!? If you are in the Portland area I recommend seeing Tatum (my favorite esthetician!).
The Product
I have been using Sorella Apothecary products for 2 years now (recommended per Tatum). I love love love these products.
I prefer using one line because I believe the products are formulated to complement each other. Alright enough talking and typing, here is a complete breakdown of my skincare routine and the order I use it.
The Morning Routine
Face Wash - Apricot Mango Cleansing Milk OR Orange You Jelly Cleanser
Toner - Watermelon Mint Hydrating Mist
Serum - Main Squeeze Hydrating Serum
Serum - Lemon Lightening Serum
I like to rotate between the two serums
Moisturizer - Daily Greens Moisturizer
SPF - Tinted Dew Drops SPF 50 OR TiZO (everyday!)
The Nighttime Routine
Face Wash - Apricot Mango Cleansing Milk OR Orange You Jelly Cleanser
Exfoliant Wash - Mint Poppy Seed Polish
1-2x/week
Toner - Watermelon Mint Hydrating Mist
Serum - Resurfacing Elixir Nighttime Serum
3-4x/week
Moisturizer - Daily Greens Moisturizer
Eye Cream - Yogurt Kale Eye Concentrate
The Reminder
And remember yours does not have to be this long and complicated. I enjoy having options and for me, my skincare routine is a moment to relax and indulge in self-care. There are some nights I just wash and moisturize my face. You can keep it sweet and simple as long as it is consistent. Reminder take 5-10 minutes to yourself to carefully wash your face and spread your products with thoughtful intention. Take in the scents and textures of each product with full awareness. Be in the present. This is your moment to yourself, you deserve it. Spread your skincare down your neck and chest. Smile today and give yourself a compliment.
Besos,
Kate
