Healthy Bare Skin in 2016

Finding
the right skincare has been a life-long struggle for me. As many of you know I
went on accutane during college to fight my persistent acne which made
groundbreaking changes in my skin. Since then I’ve still struggled with skin
issues from acne relapses to dry patches and this year I made a resolution to
find a skincare regime that felt right for me. I was really excited when
BareMinerals reached out to me to try their 3-step skincare regimen which
focuses heavily on natural ingredients with a variety of textures. I’m going to
tell you guys about my revamped routine and the changes I’ve noticed in my skin
since starting a few weeks back. 

My routine: cleanse with Oil Obsessed, replenish
with Skinlongevity & hydrate with True Oasis,
all c/o BareMinerals. 
Step 1: Oil Cleansing
I first started trying out cleansing oils when I worked at a cosmetics store back in college. At first the idea of putting oil onto my combination skin seemed really scary. But, over the years, I’ve come to love cleaning oils because they really breakdown makeup and impurities without stripping the skin of it’s natural oils. The Oil Obsessed by bareMinerals is my new favorite. It feels so luxurious on my face in the evenings and I can really feel it take off every stitch of makeup. It smells like you’re at a spa with the scent of lavender and tangerine. 
Step
2: Serum

After
I’ve gotten all the makeup and dirt off of my skin using the Oil Obsessed, I
add a few pumps of the SkinLongevity from bareMinerals. The super lightweight
serum helps empower the skin to maintain a vibrancy we all crave. I’ve noticed
a visible change in my skin – it looks more awake and healthy. I highly
recommend trying out this serum – it’s unlike any I’ve ever tried. 
Step 3: Hydrate
Once the serum has fully absorbed into my skin I apply a dollop of the bareMinerals True Oasis Gel Cream. I have combination skin that still craves a lot of moisture, especially in the winter so this moisturizer has been amazing. The texture is super lightweight and oil-free. It slides on so easily and really absorbs quickly into my skin. My skin feels soft but not greasy or overpowered by a heavy lotion. 




I honestly feel like my skin hasn’t looked this good in quite some time. I can’t believe I’m sharing a totally makeup-free photo! This year I’ve really kept true to creating a healthier lifestyle by eating better, working out three times a week and giving my skin the care it needs. How have you been keeping up your 2016 resolutions?
