    My Sunday Skincare Routine

    April 4, 2020beauty, fashion

    I’m excited to share my Sunday skincare routine with you. After I shared a crazy masked picture of me on my Instagram stories, I polled my audience to see if they wanted to know all of the products I used. So, I showed them and now I’m showing you!

    Why I Spend 30 minutes on myself every Sunday

    I’m in my early-emerging-mid thirties and I don’t have any time to waste when it comes to my “preserving the sexy”. Beyond us all having an abundance of time these days, it’s nice to be dedicated to me, myself and I at the moment. Just us. A time to reflect and honor the woman that I am.

    Ladies, when we’re running late out of the door, or even running past our bedtimes, it can be easy to skip steps, find a shortcut and get back on to bigger things. Not when it comes to a Sunday skincare routine. I’ll ask the question if you say why not? Well, what’s more important than you? When you’re handling this kind of business, you’re already looking in the mirror, so tell yourself you’re beautiful and let’s get ready for pampering.

    To make the most out of my Sunday skincare routine, I get really excited leading up to it. I like to close my eyes and take the extra thirty seconds to glide the cleanser across my face, getting every pore around my nose and chin. The same applies when it comes to gently applying my eye cream. I’m a person that savors the act of completing something, so by the time I get to the last step in my skincare routine, it’s like the victory lap of a race against no one. I love it.

    My Sunday Skincare Routine

    My routine takes about 40 minutes, including the time it takes for all of the products to stay on my face. Have you ever timed yours? Here are the steps I take once a week.

    Step 1: Cleansing

    One must begin their Sunday skincare routine with a clean palette, and because I have combination skin, I need a cleanser that cleanses well enough to remove excess oil and debris without stripping my skin. I’ve been really happy using Juice Beauty’s Stem Cellular 2-in-1 Cleanser for the past couple of months. Insert Proof Point

    Before I was using Juice Beauty’s cleanser, I was using Recharge by Rodan + Fields for about three months and was impressed, too.

    Step 2: Exfoliation

    I bounce between products when it comes to my weekly treatment, but the one I reach for the most has been another amazing Juice Beauty product: Green Apple Sensitive Skin Peel. It helps even tone with organic alpha hydroxy acids of malic acid from green apples to reduce dark spots and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. You leave it on your skin for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water, and you can use it up to two times a week. I just stick to Sundays. My other favorite is Rodan & Fields’ Microdermabrasion Paste. It’s a sugar and salt-based scrub that effectively removes dead skin cells for brighter skin.

    Step 3: Mask

    I’m so greedy, I use two! This is definitely not a must, but both masks serve very different functions, and I had been going through a bout of dryness. I’ve used Dermalogica for years, and one product that has been my fav for the past year is the Multivitamin Power Recovery Mask. It fights free radicals, fine lines and is full of vitamins. I kept the mask party going by using a sheet mask by Trish McEvoy. The Instant Solutions Dry Sheet Mask, A dry sheet mask is such a different experience, but provides a rush of moisture and sends waves of hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants to the skin.

    Step 4: Treatment

    Before moisturizing, I add a serum or skin treatment. Most recently I’ve been using Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair, a classic luxury skincare product that improves skin texture, tone and fights fine lines. Other treatments I love are Dermalogica’s Phyto-Nature Firming Serum, Peptide Booster by Paula’s Choice, and LiftActiv Vitamin C Brightening Skin Corrector by Vichy.

    Step 5: Moisturize

    I start the moisturizing process with Juice Beauty’s Vinifera Replenishing Oil. It is the best and gives me a radiant glow. If I am absolutely not leaving the house, I will sometimes wear this on my skin alone when I’m giving myself a makeup break. Speaking of makeup, it is also a good primer. But, back to finishing out my skincare evening. Adding eye cream and night cream is next. While I still have some of my trial-sized version of Estee Lauder’s Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Energy Eye Cream, it’s at the top of the list. It’s a splurge, for sure but gives incredible results. I’ve also used Dermalogica’s Stress Positive Eye Lift and Juice Beauty’s Stem Cellular Eye Cream. Both have a tip that allows for gentle application!

    The Products

    I’ve gone ahead and linked up all of the products I’ve mentioned for an easy shoppable experience. If you’re looking for a new routine or want to introduce a fun new product in the mix, click a bit, and read up on each product to find the combination right for you. Have questions?

    I’d love to learn what steps you take to pamper yourself before the new week gets going. Have a good one!

    Hello from me + sunbathing @lifeofrudytheboston! I Hello from me + sunbathing @lifeofrudytheboston! I knew I was gonna take a break from social media, but I didn’t realize it was gonna be two weeks. 👀 Been trying to transition into 2021 with a clear head, lots of gratitude, reflecting, reading, healing and adopting some new habits. I’ve got major goals this year and I’m trying to stay consistent, starting with my daily routine. I’ve got my SQUAD personally + professionally to hold me accountable. I won’t be stopped. ⚡️

Y’all - We learned the lessons last year. Now it’s time to apply. Remember that awakening last June? Yeah, that was just the beginning. I hope you’re paying attention to what’s happening around you. There’s a lot more work to do and we need to do it together.

How are you doing over there? What’s new in your neck of the woods?
    Why am I smiling + kneeling in the bathroom? Becau Why am I smiling + kneeling in the bathroom? Because I partnered with @homedepot to tile the floor of our half bath with QuicTile by @daltile! 🤩 This is the first major DIY over here and after having the tile around for a bit, we had to just go for it — and let me just tell you, I wish we had done it sooner.

From prep to reveal, the refresh happened in just matter of hours. And now, the half bath feels like we’re somewhere else… 🤣 maybe a hotel?! ➡️SWIPE TO SEE THE BEFORE. 

Wondering how it happened in hours? You install the QuicTile on top of the existing floors by putting down an underlayment to protect the surface below. The tiles “click” together and before you know it, it’s time for grout. Seriously. There are so many different variations of QuicTile that you can have fun with in any room of your home! It doesn’t have to be scary. Click the link in my bio to get to the post with process details and to see it all happen.

And selfishly, I can’t wait until it’s safe to have people over so they can see the glow up! The plan now is to add pictures and wacky art on the walls so it gets people talking. Are you planning any home projects for 2021? Tell me what you’re up to!

You’ve been here for all of my bubbly moments ☺️ (thank you, BTW) and it’s about time I share what I look for when I head to the wine shop! Now, they may have some similarities but each brut rose gives the palate a different experience!

And yes, I shared where to get it and what to pair with it, although, a glass of bubbles by itself is always appropriate! 😉 Click the link in my bio for the full roundup and let me know what you think, if you’ve tried any of them, and if you have a rec to share.

    Happy Monday, y’all! Been off the grid for a qui Happy Monday, y’all! Been off the grid for a quiet + calm Christmas weekend. Did you have a nice holiday? Try anything new? Burn your candles?! What did I miss?

After Christmas, I slept a lot, spent time in reflection and got out of the house to move my body. I also tried out aerial silks with @mrenere. Don’t believe me? Just swipe to see our grand finale after spinning upside down. I can’t believe how hard my body worked. 😆

I have some content coming your way this week to close out this year with a bang. Well, more like a pop! 😉 🍾  Bring your taste buds.  Can’t wait to share and hear what you think. Got a request? I’ll see what I can do. Take care of yourselves! 💛
