I’m all about simplifying my life right now, and my beauty routine reflects that. No 20-step skincare for me. Every season my beauty regimen changes a little bit to reflect the current state of my skin, and this winter, my less is more attitude has been great for my face, so I thought I’d share what I’ve been using.
MY MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE
♥ Face Wash
Last year I was sent some products from Lindi to review (see my thoughts here), and the Lindi Face Wash has become a morning staple. It’s gentle formula works to achieve optimal pH balance and doesn’t dry out my skin. I like using the face wash with my Clarisonic Mia a few times a week to get my skin glowing.
♥ Micellar Water
To hydrate and get my skin extra clean, I use Simple Cleansing Micellar Water. This gentle cleanser isn’t great at removing makeup, but is just right for in the morning when my skin needs to wake up.
♥ Moisturizer
My final step is Simple Protecting Light Moisturizer SPF 15. It’s non-greasy formula moisturizes without making my face shiny. I, also, like to mix a dab of this into my foundation or bb cream for a dewy look.

I love my Clarisonic Mia! My teen and I swear by it. I will need to look into your other suggestions. Thanks!
I have a Clarisonic Mia as well and it’s great. I only use it a few times a week at night since any more dries out my skin.
Awesome. I do have a Clarisonic and I’ve never used it! I’ve been too lazy. I really want to because winter is making me and my skin look and feel terrible.
So thanks for the reminder!
I use the simple spf moisturizer too, it’s become a favorite. I also have a pretty basic routine , but I feel like it works well with out overcomplicating things.

My routine is pretty simple too, I have always used A Clarisonic and I love how fresh it makes my face feel!
Definitely a simple routine – which I’m all about! I think I’d like the Micellar Water for the mornings too. ๐

I need to try micellar water. That’s interesting that you say it’s not great at removing makeup, but at least provides a quick clean!

Thanks for sharing your routine with us! Haven’t tried any of the products you use. Right now I cleanse with Eucerin and L’Occitane, I tone with Eucerin and I moisturize with Clinique.
I have been dying to try Micellar Water – maybe I’ll pick up this one from Simple!

I’m currently all about moisturizing.

I need to try Clearasonic some day
i actually just bout some Micellar Water this morning, not that brand though, another brand (garnier, i think) that someone mentioned it actually removed makeup well, so here’s hoping. if not, i’ll use it in the morning, great idea!
Funny I am using a water makeup remover too, just started about a month ago. I like it.

I love the Clarisonic and simple skincare routines are the best…too many products and my skin goes crazy.
My face routine is similar to except since I have dry skin I use a lot of oils to cleanse and moisturize my skin. I used to use the same products a lot too.

Thanks for sharing this. That face wash sounds great, and I’ve been wanting to get that Clarisonic for years now. I’m really missing out!!!
I love my Clarisonic Mia! I also was sent the Lindi products to review and I agree the face wash is great. I also loved the eye cream. I have not tried Simple products!

Simple and easy! I also use an SPF moisturizer too. I’ve been bad about using my Clarisonic though — need to charge it.

I swear by the Clarisonic. It is SO good!!
