My Daily Skincare Routine
And The Extras I Swear By
I’m a believer that taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be complicated.
And when it comes to skincare, I’ve found that consistency matters far more than having a bathroom cabinet overflowing with products.
Over the years, I’ve tried plenty of things. Some have come and gone, while others have earned a permanent place on my bathroom counter. These are the products I reach for every day, along with a handful of tools and treatments I use regularly to keep my skin looking smooth, hydrated, fresh, and healthy.
So, by popular request, here’s exactly what I’m using.
Consistency matters far more than having a bathroom cabinet overflowing with products.
MY DAILY ROUTINE
1. Disposable Cleansing Towels
This is such a simple switch, but one I love. And it made so much sense once I understood the science behind it.
I use disposable cleansing towels to wash my face rather than using a traditional washcloth. Even freshly laundered washcloths can harbor bacteria, so I prefer starting with a brand-new, clean towel every time I wash my face.
They’re soft, convenient, and I love knowing I’m not introducing unnecessary bacteria back onto freshly cleansed skin.
I’ve written an article about why I switched to disposable cleansing towels and the science behind it. You can read the article HERE.
2. Cleanser
Good skincare starts with clean skin—and I care just as much about what’s in my skincare as what it does for my skin.
My daily cleanser comes from one of my favorite clean beauty brands, 100% PURE. I love their focus on natural, non-toxic, vegan, plant-based ingredients, and this cleanser leaves my skin feeling thoroughly clean and fresh without that tight, stripped feeling that can come from harsher products.
It’s simple, clean skincare that I feel good about using every single day.
3. Serum
After cleansing, I apply a spray-on hydrating serum.
This balancing rose water spray delivers a boost of hydration from rose water and hyaluronic acid for a plumped, youthful-looking glow. And it smells divine.
I apply it early in my routine, before my moisturizer and oil, so those richer products can follow and help seal in all that lovely hydration.
4. Moisturizing Lotion
Next comes moisture.
I’m a huge believer in keeping skin well hydrated. I want my moisturizer to leave my skin feeling soft and nourished without leaving a heavy layer of product on my face. So, for this step, I turn to my other favorite clean beauty brand, Juice Beauty.
This is their #1 best-selling Anti-Wrinkle moisturizer, and it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, richly hydrates, and improves skin tone and radiance.
5. Eye Cream
The skin around our eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of our face, so I give mine a little extra attention.
This eye cream uses caffeine from coffee and green tea to help visibly reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, leaving the eye area looking brighter, refreshed, and more awake.
6. Replenishing Oil
And finally, one of my favorite steps: replenishing oil.
A few drops leave my skin feeling incredibly soft and give it that healthy, dewy finish I love. Also from Juice Beauty, this oil not only hydrates and nourishes but also serves as an excellent primer for makeup.
That’s it! This is my daily morning and night routine: cleanse, serum, moisturizer, eye cream, oil.
Simple enough that I do it consistently—which, in my opinion, is the secret to any good routine.
THE EXTRAS
Now for the fun stuff.
These are tools and treatments in my regular rotation that give my skin a little extra love and attention.
Red Light Therapy Mask
You probably already know how much I love red light therapy, so naturally, I use it on my face too.
I use my mask 4–5 times a week, and I love that it’s something I can while I’m reading, answering emails, watching a movie, or winding down in the evening.
Facial Contouring Dry Brush
Facial brushes are much softer and more delicate than the ones designed for your body. I use mine gently as part of my daily skincare routine.
And honestly? It just feels good.

Dermaplane Razor
This little tool makes such a difference.
I periodically dermaplane to remove peach fuzz and gently exfoliate my skin's surface. I love how incredibly smooth my face feels afterward—and makeup goes on beautifully.
This is absolutely one of those things where gentle is the operative word. I never feel like I need to aggressively scrape or exfoliate my skin to get a result.
My Mask Rotation
I don’t have just one face mask that I use religiously. Instead, I keep a few favorites and choose based on what my skin needs in the moment.
Sometimes I want hydration. Sometimes I want something that clarifies, firms, or brightens. But a mask always turns an ordinary evening into a sweet, indulgent self-care ritual.

Tinted CC Cream + SPF
And then there’s the product that bridges skincare and makeup for me.
Instead of traditional foundation, I use a tinted CC cream with SPF. I love having one product that evens out my complexion, provides some coverage, and offers sun protection at the same time.
I typically reach for it when I’m attending an event or spending time in the sun.
A FEW FINAL THOUGHTS
I don’t believe beautiful skin comes from chasing every new product or trend.
I think it comes from learning your skin, treating it gently, protecting it, nourishing it, and—most importantly—being consistent.
These are simply the products that I use and love. Your skin may have completely different needs, and what works beautifully for one person may not be right for another.
There’s something lovely about having small rituals that say, I’m worth taking care of.
Two minutes at the bathroom sink. A face mask while you read. Twenty minutes wearing a red light mask while you watch a movie.
None of it has to be complicated.
Take care of your skin. Take care of yourself. And make the ritual something you enjoy.
With love,
P.S. Another important ritual for glowing, radiant skin is drinking green juice every morning. You can find my favorite recipe HERE along with an online link to a business that will overnight it to you on ice.
