Good skincare is everything to me. Why? Because it not only makes you look good but it can protect your skin from aging later on.

While I have been blessed with good genetics and no acne, I do suffer from dry skin and redness (thanks to my 1/4 Irish genes!).

I have been refining my skincare routine for the majority of the last five years and I can finally say, I think I have it down pat.

Step 1: Cleanser

PHILOSOPHY Purity Made Simple Cleanser $49 CAD

I live by this cleanser by Philosophy. It is gentle enough to not irritate my sensitive skin but does the job to remove impurities. A little goes a long way with this cleanser. Just wet your face with warm water and lather a nickle-sized amount of cleanser into your face. Rinse with warm water.

Step 2: Toner

FRESH Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Toner $59 CAD

This toner has been a lifesaver. It cools down my skin and leaves it squeaky clean and even. I apply this with an organic cotton pad. I eventually will try to resort to using reusable cotton pads.

Drop a nickle-sized or slightly bigger on your pad and wipe evenly on your skin.

Step 3: Serum

TATCHA Violet-C Brightening Serum 20% Vitamin C + 10% AHA $114 CAD

My biggest yet best investment on this list by-far. Vitamin C has amazing powers and this serum surely does the trick. This bottle has lasted me so long that I forgot how much I spent on it.

Use 1-1.5 pumps and apply evenly on your skin.

Step 4: Face Moisturizer

SUNDAY RILEY Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream $29 CAD

My go-to for a long time! It kind of smells like cucumbers to be which automatically makes me think of freshness. It makes my dry, red skin dewy and plump

Step 5: SPF

AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Sun Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 35 Sunscreen/Cream $86 CAD

While the one I use daily is not online, I found this sunscreen that I use in the event I run out of my favourite. It is super light-weight and is perfect for sensitive skin. NEVER forget to apply SPF to your face. It is crucial when wanting to keep your skin looking youthful.
