Living for this energy rn— my skin’s gone from disaster to glowy in 7 years, and here’s how. I used to be the girl who’d wake up to a face like a lava lamp, red, pimpled, and basically screaming for help. Back in 2015, I was 16, drowning in acne and skin-picking so bad I looked like a raccoon with a highlighter. Fast forward to today, and I’m finally in a routine that doesn’t make my skin cry. Let me break it down.
AM: I start with a clean skin club towel (no wash cloths, they’re too harsh for my sensitive skin). Then I slap on Vanicream daily facial moisturizer, because my skin needs hydration, not drama. For sunscreen, I’m obsessed with Bubble Solarmate mineral sunscreen—the yellow tube is my holy grail. It’s non-comedogenic, doesn’t irritate, and gives that soft, glowy finish without being tinted. PM? I use LA Roche Posay Toleriane gentle hydrating cleanser, then Vanicream again. If I’m wearing makeup, I remove it with blue Garnier micellar water and a clean towel. It’s basically my skincare cheat code.
The real struggle? Finding products that don’t break me out. I’ve been through so many reformulations—some brands changed formulas and I’d have to start over. My skin is combo, so it dries out easily but gets oily and break outy if I overdo it. I still get redness and the occasional pimple, but I’m finally in a routine that doesn’t make my skin feel like it’s in a war.
Here’s the thing: I’m turning 30, and anti-aging with sensitive skin? It’s a whole other beast. But right now, I’m just happy to have a routine that doesn’t make me feel like a zombie. No filters, no makeup—just a glowing, happy face. If you want my list of products that didn’t work? I’m happy to share!
