My Quick Skin Care Routine (Morning and Night)

I was compensated for this shop by Collective Bias, Inc. on behalf of Neutrogena for this #NewNeutrogena campaign #AD #Collectivebias. 
All opinions are mine alone.








I get asked this all the time: What are your best beauty tips? And this is my answer:
  • Always remove your makeup at night
  • Always moisturize your skin morning & night
The responses? "I'm too busy. I'm too tired. I can't afford an expensive skincare routine."

You will officially have no more excuses after today's post!

Today, I'm showing you my super quick version of how I get my skin ready and "unready" for morning and night, using Neutrogena products. These are new and you're going to love them. First, you'll need to head to Target. I've been finding the new products on the end caps, like these:


Here's my tip: Use your Target Cartwheel app to save even more money on Neutrogena products:
So even when I'm in a hurry, or I'm too tired, I rely on using just two products. Two! And they're super affordable. Here's the first one I use in the morning:
















Before I apply any makeup in the morning, I prep my skin using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream. This version is for extra dry skin (don't worry, they have a gel version other skin types will LOVE).  The Neutrogena Hydro Boost feels so wonderful on the skin and soaks right in. It's a refreshing way to start my day. My favorite feature is that it has hyaluronic acid--an ingredient found naturally in the body, that provides hydration. 

Ready for makeup!






You all have been asking what's been giving me the glow to my skin in my recent pics? The gel-cream is the product I've been using! Now my skin is primed and prepped, allowing makeup application to go on smoothly and evenly.

Sometimes I am so tired that the last thing I want to think about is taking off my makeup. I just want to go to bed. But! Leaving that makeup on is awful for your skin, trust me. So at night, I use the Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. If you've tried makeup wipes before and didn't like them, now is the time to give these a try. They are awesome!



These ultra-soft wipes remove all my makeup (using just one wipe!). They even remove waterproof makeup. Skin is left purified, fresh and healthy-looking with no greasy residue, so there's no need to rinse. That saves me time and an extra step when I'm in a hurry. The wipes are made from naturally-derived fibers that come from sustainably-managed forests. Do you have sensitive skin like me? These are free of harsh chemical sulfates, parabens, petrolatum, dyes and phthalates! 

I finish with the Hydro Boost gel-cream and I'm ready for sleep! Easy and done!

Have you tried these products before?
Which one would you like to try?

  2. The best thing I've ever done for my skin was start my beauty routine at 22. I always take off my make up, always and 99.9% moisturize, too. Love beauty wipes, they are a life saver.

  16. Wipes are a godsend to those of us who are lazy at night. Like me.

    I haven't had a ton of luck with Neutrogena Moisturizers in the past but that one sounds good.

  20. I really cringe when people tell me they don't take off their makeup at night! Ahh!!!
    That Neutrogena gel cream sounds so nice! I love trying out new moisturizers. I also use a makeup wipe sometimes in the morning to get the oil off my face if I'm in a hurry instead of using my cleansers.

  21. I've been looking for new morning/nighttime products and I think these might be on top of the list now. Thanks for sharing :)

  24. I finally got back into the habit of moisturing my face every morning...but I am REALLY guily about falling asleep with my make up on. Sigh. :( :(

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ooh I'm going to have to try that cream, my skin has been extra dry lately. I love face wipes for when I'm too tired to put much effort into washing my face. I've never tried those ones though!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I legit have the pink Neutrogena makeup remover wipes on my bedside table and some nights I still forget. Working on it.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I never, EVER understood the "I'm too tired to take off my makeup" excuse. I know girls I went to college with who didn't wash their makeup off then and STILL don't wash their faces now, and you can totally totally x10 tell in the way their skin is aging. Yiiiiiiikes.

    Great post, Elle. You don't have to spend a fortune on skincare- I have a few of these Neutrogena products in my bathroom cabinet!

  32. Your skin is beautiful. See, I don't moisturize, and I really need to start. I'm getting old and my skin is beginning to show it.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Yes! Always remove your makeup! I cant tell you how many of my friends dont do this. I'm honestly think it's causing them premature wrinkles. Moisturizing and cleansing is a must! Would the gel versions of this cream work for combo oily skin? I hate that "my face feels wet it's so greasy feeling."

    ReplyDelete
  34. I am a big fan of make up wipes! I use them every night regardless of how much I dont feel like doing anything. If I am being extra awesome I will wash my face too but at least if I use the wipe, it takes my make up off!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I use Neutrogena's foundation and love it! T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com

  36. Love how wipes make removing makeup so easy :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ok so I totally failed BOTH of your best beauty tips. =( I do remove my make-up but I don't fully wash my face, does that count? And I'm terrible with moisturizer and try to justify that I have combo skin and can't put moisturizer all over. I need to up my game, thanks for the tips!

    ReplyDelete
  38. makeup removing wipes are really helpful when you do not have time to spend on a cotton ball and makeup remover.

  39. I love Neutrogena and wipes, as well! I normally use soap (a special one) and water, but when I am very tired I use these wipes!
