Jo’s Skincare Routine

Jo’s Skincare Routine

Taking care of our skin is obvi so important, especially when we’re sweating all the time. I legit look forward to my nightly routine because I get to unwind and fall asleep knowing that my skin is moisturized and looking oh so DEWY! I used to be that girl who would fall asleep with a full face of makeup on and not really care to fully wash my face before bed. Since then, things have really changed for the better… you’ll never catch me with an unwashed faced, even if I’m drunk!

Also a quick disclaimer that none of the products below are sponsored. Hopefully by now you realize that anything we tag and promote we actually use (whether it’s sponsored or not). Seriously though, if you spied on me through my window you would literally watch me religiously follow my skincare routine with all of these products.


IN THE EVENING/BEFORE BED:

I wash face every night while I’m in the shower. I refuse to get in my bed without showering first (pet peeve of mine!) so I just keep my face wash product in the shower to make things easy.

I’m obsessed with the Drunk Elephant Jelly Cleanser face wash and genuinely get excited to lather it on my face and remove the day’s worth of make up and sweat. This cleanser removes all traces of makeup, excess oil, pollution, and any other grime from the day. One of my goals in 2020 was to start shifting to all clean beauty products. In the process of making this change, I came across Drunk Elephant which has now become one of my favorites. Drunk Elephant products are free of essential oils, silicones, and fragrance. You can buy their products at any Sephora.

If I have any remaining makeup leftover on my face when I hop out of the shower (this doesn’t happen too often), then I use a a make up remover from Farmacy Beauty called Green Clean Make Up Remover. This buttery stuff works wonders and wipes off all other excess makeup!

I definitely don’t do this every day but I try to use an ice roller / jade roller to naturally contour my face in the morning and evening. Click here for the one we both have from Amazon, we store it in the freezer.

I’m all about a generous spritz of rose water after the shower once my face is dry. I’ve tried a ton of different brands but I’ve narrowed it down to two that I alternate between: Mario Badscu Rose Water Toner and Cocokind Rose Water Toner.

I then apply Squalane + Omega Repair Cream from Biossance over my whole face to make it feel extra nourished and moisturized. Biossance is also a clean beauty brand!

Lastly, I apply an under eye cream to reduce dark circles and wrinkles. I use the Dew it All Eye Cream from Farmacy Beauty. They also have a cherry eye cream that works well too, but the Dew it All is their original.

Then, I’m ready to crawl into bed and watch Netflix!

IN THE MORNING:
First, wake up feeling like I’m glowing from my excessive nighttime skin routine :)

I wash my face and apply a daytime serum. I alternate between Balancing Elixir Hydrating Serum from Saje Wellness or the Vitamin C Day Time Serum from Drunk Elephant and let it soak in for like 10 mins before putting on my makeup.

Tip: Try to avoid thick foundation as much as possible! I notice a huge difference when I wear foundation for the whole day (zits, irritation, redness, etc) and I honestly don’t like the way it feels. Wear a lighter BB Cream or tinted moisturizer with SPF in it.

Nars has great tinted moisturizers that we use all the time, especially on vacation.

I also like to store some of my favorite products in a skincare mini fridge from Amazon. It’s cute and practical… IMO. Click here: Pink Skincare Fridge

Keep it Sweaty,
