Morning and evening beauty rituals might seem boring to some, but to others (like me) both are extremely important to maintaining healthy skin and a youthful appearance for as long as humanly possible. My two skin care routines are similar, but each contain essential steps that are absolutely necessary.
In the morning my routine is pretty simple. I wash my face with my cleanser and then apply moisturizer. Because my daughter allows for zero uninterrupted sleep nights I’ve integrated the Neutrogena Rapid Dark Circle Repair Eye Cream into my routine – which I apply right after the moisturizer but before makeup. It’s in an easy to use twist-up tube that releases a bit of product that I dab on and tap lightly to blend in. After this I head to the vanity to apply makeup. Neutrogena has new Nourishing Long Wear Eye Shadow and built in primer in 6 color combinations that I’m loving for an easy, every day eye look. Below I’m wearing the Cocoa Mauve combo.
^omg what a difference makeup makes^
At the end of the day I begin by removing my eye makeup – either with a makeup wipe or a cotton ball saturated with eye makeup remover. Next, using a new makeup wipe, I remove the first layer of makeup. Lately for this I’ve been using the Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. They smell amazing and are fantastic for removing even waterproof mascara without leaving a greasy residue.
I always wash my face with an acne fighting cleanser (Neutrogena has a new one called Rapid Clear Cleanser that I’m still on the hunt for) and then pat my skin dry with a towel. Next I use a cotton ball and sweep a toner all over my face and neck. After it dries I dab on my eye cream and then apply my evening moisturizer (which is a thicker cream than what I’d use for day) generously all over my face and neck.
Neutrogena products are easy to find on shelves and end-caps at Target (where I purchased mine). Follow Neutrogena on Facebook and Target on Facebook to stay up to date on the latest product launches and deals.
That’s it! Not the most complex, but not the most basic. What is the most important part of your skin care routine?

I used to use the Neutrogena face wipes a lot – the one in the blue package… but then started using the Kirkland ones and never went back. I do love Neutrogena products.

I have been putting it on religiously since I bought it. I’ll keep everyone updated, so far it’s a love and I notice a bit of lightening. I’m not looking for miracles… just to be less zombie-fied lol
