My Beauty Routine & How I'm Keeping Those Wrinkles AWAY!
Since I'm getting older.... WAHHH.... I've started taking better care of myself, or at least trying to! I do NOT want the wrinkles to start creeping in like I know they want to! I'll tell you a little about my beauty routine that I'm doing to keep those wrinkles at bay for a little while longer. :)
For starters, I am taking collagen religiously, every single day. I've been doing this for about a month now and honestly I can already see a difference! My skin looks healthier and that new hair growth....WOW! I had postpartum hair loss in a baaadddd way with both of my girls. Combined with my shampoo routine, the collagen is really giving my new growth a huge boost! It's growing out so much faster than before!
There are so many collagen products out there but this is the one I use:
It is simple to use and has zero taste to it! I just put 1-2 scoops in my hot coffee every morning and I'm done! It's so simple and there are so many benefits to using it! I am really loving it so far!
Benefits of collagen...
-Better skin health
-Improved joint health
-Increased muscle mass
-Prevents bone loss
-Supports heart health
-Gluten free
-Dairy free
I feel like that is my number 1, most important thing in my beauty routine right now. After that, it is my simple skin care. I cleanse and moisturize twice a day. I am currently using the Be Balanced routine from Monat. I am only using the cleanser and moisturizer right now but there are 2 or 3 other steps that I'll add eventually. I really like it so far. It leaves my skin feeling clean, smooth, and smelling great! I also LOVE that there are no sulfates, parabens or harsh fragrances in their products so I know it's healthier for my skin than any drugstore product!
After I use my cleanser and moisturizer, I always put on a primer. I have tried DOZENS of primers, y'all. My favorite one right now is the Timeless Smoothing Primer from Tarte. It is a little more expensive but so worth the money in my opinion.
From the Sephora site ---> This primer is formulated to fade out your biggest beauty boundaries such as large pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. The antioxidant-rich formula gently melts into the skin, delivering a surge of moisture, peptides, and other naturally-derived elixirs for a firmer, smoother appearance. The lightweight texture and fresh powder scent provide the perfect blank canvas to enhance the look and wear time of makeup.
And yes, it does all of that! So good!
After I let the primer dry I go ahead with my normal makeup routine.... foundation, all the concealer, powder, setting spray, etc, etc, etc. Maybe one day I'll have the time to do a video tutorial of my makeup routine for y'all but until then stay young and wrinkle free ladies! :)
