With Love, Thelms

I love the mornings! I know mornings are the worst for some, but not for me. No matter how late I go to bed I’ll be up the next morning like I’ve had 11 hours of sleep. Due to a lot of different things, I’ve had to be really strict about my skin routine. Being strict about my routine allows me to take my skin’s health a lot more seriously than I did when I was younger. My biggest advice to any young girl would be to TAKE CARE of your skin, no matter how “clear or healthy” you think it is. Preventive action is always the best action, trust me.

I wash my face with the First Aid Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser with Red Clay every morning. Every time I run out, I run here to re-up! This literally pulls all the dirt from my skin and gives me a thorough clean feeling. I also have sensitive skin and this product is safe for that.

Using the Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask is optional, but you shouldn’t use it any more than 3x per week. Some days I feel like I need an extra boost and other days I don’t. I snagged mine here!

If I have a blemish peeking through I dab it with all natural tea tree oil. You can find this at any local grocery store. Make sure when purchasing this product you look at the ingredient information to ensure you are purchasing the purest form of tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia). After putting the tea tree oil on as a spot treatment, I take just one pump of the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Vitamin C Collagen Booster and massage it into my face. I purchased mine from here! I feel like this over time brightens the face and gives me that awake feeling I’m striving for every morning.

Time to moisturize! Before putting on any moisturizer, I always go in with CeraVe sunscreen! You can also purchase this at your local grocery store. I think it is very important to put sunscreen on EVERY SINGLE DAY. Even when it’s not “sunny” outside. Estheticians and Dermatologists that I’ve spoken to say that this is one of the most important things we can do to protect our faces from any sun damage. Then you guys know from my previous post how much I die for Lush’s Vanishing Cream! It’s just so amazing.

To round everything up, I take one tablet of biotin and slab some Jergens Shea Butter on my hands. No one likes ashy crispy fingers because it’s just not a good look. Biotin is really essential in promoting clear skin. It’s also very essential in promoting the growth of healthy nails and hair.

So yeah! That’s my morning routine, long but super beneficial. What are some products you use in your morning routine? Comment below and let me know.
