My 3-Step Winter Facial Routine.

My 3-Step Winter Routine

This is what I am currently using for my face the past few weeks. I have been trying to find a great match of different products because I don't know about you but I don't want to spend a small fortune on my facial products if the drugstore has just as good facial products as the high end stores. I been trying a few different products since starting school back you in September (I am on winter break...Needless to say I am one happy girl). Let's just say my face wasn't as smooth as it normally is but I wasn't a pizza face but I felt uncomfortable. So I mentioned it to my coworker and she said why don't you try the Neutrogena Acne Stress Toner with what you are already using so I been trying it and it has actually helped alot.

My morning routine is just about the same as my night routine.  I wet my face and lather up with the Ceptahil twice and then when I am done I pat dry my face with a small towel or my regular towel. Next I use a cotton round spread the toner only on my ance pron areas!!! please listen and take in account that if you decide to spread the toner your face is going to DRY OUT and FLAKE. Finally I take two pumps of my Clinique moisturizer massage it into my skin including my neck and that is my 3 step facial routine. I provided links to all the products I wrote about down below. Happy Holidays Everyone :)

• Cetaphil
• Neutrogena
• Clinique

Yes...Monistat Chafing Powder Gel as a Facial Primer

This is something I have known about for almost two years. I had heard about but never really paid too much mind. I was just testing a few primers I had and wasn't really liking them as much as I thought I had anymore. I was having issues with dryness on my face so I changed my facial cleanser but my foundation was not going on as smooth. So I got on Google which by the way is my favorite search engine and Monistat popped up and I thought what the hell it's less then $7.00 bucks. Let me tell you that those were the best 7.00 bucks I have ever spent. I applied it and thought there is no way this is going to work and OMG my face was Matte the whole night.

Monistat is made from Dimethicone which has 3 great benefits:

• It locks in your moisturizer under your makeup to keep your skin moisturized.
• The dimethicone does not let the oils from your skin from breaking through to your foundation.
•  Dimethicone stops oil from getting out and your foundation won't getting in. This means that your skin will not absorb your makeup, so your makeup looks great all day, even on hot summer days. 

This is truly a un-talked about product in the beauty community. I say give it a try if you like a Matte face. Everyone will have their own opinion, this is only my opinion and experience with this product.
