How I stopped being a “splash water on face before bed” girl once and for all.

I’m Isabella, and welcome to where ALLLL the magic happens…my bathroom.

Although to be quite honest, the “magic” is quite new here.

And that’s because after [redacted lol] years on this planet, Ifinallyhave a skincare routine.

I know, DON’T look at ME.

But figuring out (and committing to) skincare products has always felt sooo overwhelming.

So like most things that give me anxiety, I’ve just avoided them altogether.

Thankfully, Aveeno must have radar that sensed my skin felt likeliteralconstruction paper.

They sent me their Daily Moisturizing collection to help out on my face and body skincare quest.

Well…shoutout to all my haters, because guess what?

I STUCK WITH IT.

And it was actually really easy.

I’ll start off with my body, which needed the most help.

Now stay with me here, but I incorporated not one but TWO lotions into my daily routine.

First is theAVEENO Daily Moisturizing Lotion.

This lotion (and ALL the products in this lineup) are formulated with colloidal oatmeal.

It’s an ingredient that moisturizes and prevents dry skin.

Throughout the week, I discovered I actually liked using this as a NIGHT lotion.

For my daytime moisturizer, I landed on theAVEENO Daily Moisturizing LotionSheerHydration.

Emphasis on the sheer!

I looooove how light this feels, and it also absorbs within seconds.

Not only do I use it in the mornings, but after showering too.

Speaking of my showering, I also added the AVEENODaily Moisturizing Body Washto my rotation too.

But I was pleasantly surprised how relieved they felt post-shower.

Last up was perhaps my biggest hill to climb my face.

Now,thatI could manage!

First up was theAVEENO Daily Moisturizing Facial Cleanser.

The oat in this cleanser feels super soothing as it works to restore the skin’s microbiome.

It left my face feeling soft, and was gentle enough for me to actually use every day.

The same was true for step two in my new face routine theAVEENO Daily Moisturizing Face Cream.

It’s specially formulated for your face andalsolightweight enough for daily use.

It hydrated my winter dryness without disrupting the no-breakout thing I had going on.

AND THAT’S A HUGE, HUGE WIN IN MY BOOK!!!

And that’s that.

Not to be anticlimactic, but that’s my new routine in its entirety.
