Hey guys, I’m Baylie! I’m a Lifestyle Blogger (<\/i>simplylivingxob.com<\/a>) that is adventuring through this crazy life and sharing it with all of my friends along the way! So if you’re into the whole expat hockey travel wife life, wanna be fashionista, wishing I had a forever home to decorate, wanna be fit like my pro athlete of a husband, and of course giving feedback on all the random\/ somewhat unnecessary purchases I’ve made (I promise they are not all unnecessary!!) – go ahead and click on the link above for a good time \ud83d\ude09 I’m SO excited to be here on Vitality Vixens as a guest writer and share with you all what my everyday skincare routine looks like!!<\/i><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(P.S these purchases were definitely necessary – HAHA!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t even begin to imagine a life without a skincare routine – it’s something I look forward to every morning (along with my coffee of course) and every night! If you personally know me, you know I don’t go anywhere overnight without it – ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know you’re with me when I say taking your make up off is equivalent to taking your bra off at the end of a long day! amiright ?! \ud83d\ude1b That’s exactly how I feel when it comes to my skincare routine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, when I say every morning and every night … I mean every morning … and every night – always<\/em>. I’m a little crazy when it comes to my skincare and as OCD as it sounds to some people, I’m ayyy ohhh kay with it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

before I dive in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to start by saying ~ W A T E R ~<\/span> drink lots and lots of water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

1.) rinse<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

If I have makeup on my face, I’ll use a makeup wipe<\/a> to remove it <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*TIMEOUT* yeah, already LOL – I’ve heard amazing things about something called a makeup eraser?!?!<\/a> Like am I late to the party? Are y’all doing this already? I’ll have to jump the bandwagon with that one soon because I’m all for a reusable product – BUT FOR NOW…. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then use this cleansing water<\/a> on a cotton pad<\/a> to get any excess dirt or makeup off that I missed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I’m not wearing makeup (which is more days than I am – by a LOT)<\/em> I just use the cleansing water to remove any dirt from the night\/day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you only take one thing from this post and apply it to your daily routine LET IT BE THIS STEP!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It really is amazing to see what accumulates on the surface of your face from morning to night! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These products are amazing because they are not at all<\/em> expensive and can be found at any drugstore or marketplace for the most part – yet they are key <\/strong>products in my skincare routine … I would not be able to get by (or move to step two) without them, that’s for sure. And noooo I’m not being DrAmAtIc \ud83d\ude1b <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) cleanser<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

This, for me, is easiest and best to use while in the shower! Simply massage the cream in a circle like motion all throughout your face – I like to go down my chin and neck as well! (fun tip: massage UPWARD and never<\/em> down!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always leave this on for the duration of my shampoo and conditioner rinses, but if I’m doing it outside of the shower I would say one\/two minutes or so! Not crazy long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This age minimizing cleanser<\/a> comes in two skin type options, Normal\/Dry & Combination Oily. I have one of each with me at all times because my skin is different during some seasons! Though I almost always using the Normal\/Dry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
