Hi everyone!

Thought I’d share my current AM/PM routine. I know there’s trends and so many steps to choose from, and everyone’s skin is different. I’ve noticed 3-4 steps is what works for me considering my skin concerns are hyperpigmentation and trying to keep my acne prone skin under control.

But what is that key number for YOU? 😄


Current AM Routine:
• Cleanser
• Toner
• Vitamin C Suspension (from The Ordinary)
• Spf moisturizer

Current PM Routine:
• Cleanser
• Exfoliating toner OR adapalene (2-3x week)
• Niacinamide Serum
• Deep hydrating moisturizer

How many steps does your routine have?

It burns my eyes if I sweat too much. Also, I have to spend quite some time to blend it in, otherwise it leaves a very noticeable white cast. 

I feel like I cannot complain much knowing that most facial sunscreens go for over $20 for 1.7-2.5 ounces. I paid $12 for TWO 3oz bottles, and while I do not recommend it as a primary spf, it is nice to have as a spare for outside activities.

Nothing comes to mind that is bad or would be a deal breaker for me!

My first thoughts on this product is that it feels light to the touch and it has a bit of a yellow tint. 

One of the most important things for me is to wear an SPF that doesn’t sting my eyes, and this one passed that test! Also, now that I’m going back to work at an office, I need an SPF that works well under makeup, so I gave this one a “trial make-up day” and it did not pill either!

The product blends easily, it doesn’t leave a white cast on my skin and it has a dewy finish, so overall I am so happy with this product! 💛

i really cannot find a bad thing. for this price its definitely worth a shot for everyone!

I LIVE for budget friendly skin care options. This small tub lasts a couple of months and at just $2 it is your best option for a lip-mask type of product. 😍

My lips feel so soft the next morning and the nights that I do forget to apply this, my lips wake up feeling flake and dry. 

Definitely wish this came in a bigger size as I go through cleansers really quick but that’s more of a personal issue. 😂

I received this product for free from Picky and Papa Recipe in exchange for my honest review.

💜 Papa Recipe Clearing Mild Cleansing Foam 

I was very intrigued by the ingredients in this one and from the looks of it, it seemed like a soothing and gentle option for my skin. It contains the following;

🍆Eggplant Extract: Abundant Lupeol treats sensitive skin.
🌼Calendula Flower Extract: relaxes sensitive and damaged skin.
🌳 Birch Sap: Helps to have lively and moisturized skin. 

This cleanser automatically became one of my favorite cleansers EVER! I will 100% repurchase this, as it feels just a gentle as my CeraVe cream to foam cleanser but this one actually foams MORE without stripping my skin. 

A little goes a long way with this one. I am beyond impressed. 🤩 SO impressed that I decided to buy their Eggplant Mud Mask to try out too! 

It feels thick, but like I mentioned in the good parts, it does not leave a white cast!

I own several spfs for my body, but this is the only one I trust for my face. It has niacinamide which is really soothing for my face and it leaves no white cast. For $18 it’s definitely the best I could find at Walgreens. Would love to try the other Garnier Green Labs spf 30s but for now this one is a hit.
