After spending a couple weeks in New York for work, I’m back at my desk in need of some R&R (which I got some yesterday for #selfcaresunday) and hydration! My plans for today are to drink lots of water and do a face mask or two to lock in moisture. For #maskmonday, I’m sharing with you my 5 favorite masks right now and when I typically use them.
Getting ready for the fall & winter seasons is one of my favorite prep times. With the change is seasons comes the change in climate, wardrobe and skincare lineup. Colder weather means less moisture in the air. Below I’m sharing a few tips and tricks by category that I do to stay glowy and moisturized.
A few of my daily essentials! Glossier’s Milky Jelly Cleanser has become a staple of my morning and evening routine. As soon as I wake up, like brushing my teeth, I cleanse my face. It’s soothing formula leaves my skin feeling clean and soft.
Skincare masks are such a treat, especially sheet and eye masks which add the benefit of easy application. I use masks ALL THE TIME, often during #toweltime. What I love about eye masks is they can be that quick fix or pick me up in the morning or before an evening out. Also, eye masks were one of the first things that got me totally enthused by skincare. Right now, I’m hooked on Peace Out Puffy Eyes patches.

Olehenriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème is my new best friend! I have been using this as my daily daytime eye crème for almost a week now, and instantly saw results. The discoloration and fine lines around my eyes has been a challenge for me, so this crème has answered my prayers. I apply delicately, using my ring fingers, along the inside eye area and all the way up to the outer corners.
Combination or Oily Skin? The Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Clay Cleanser is a great product to help extract excess oils to start the day or remove from a long day of work. The formula is smooth and the smell is invigorating. With combination skin, I use this product on my rare oily days. I wash my face with lukewarm water
