A few weeks ago I shared that I developed a consistent morning and evening routine as a part of my 2024 goal to manifest peace in my life this year.
One thing I included is my much-loved skincare routine. Skincare has always been a big part of my life, but in the past year or so I’ve added a few new must-have products.
As I’ve gotten older my skin needs have shifted a bit. I’m currently prioritizing:
- support for skin tone balance (because melasma)
- hydration (because we live in the desert)
- sun protection (because 300+.sunny days per year)
- natural lash grow (because its cheaper and less maintenance than false lashes)
- clean and clear skin (the ultimate goal)
Here are the products I use on a (daily or almost daily) basis:
tula cult cleanser
This has been my go to cleanser for the past 2-3 years. The bottle is HUGE and lasts forever. It’s not over drying and has a clean scent.
CLEAN SKIN CLUB DISPOSABLE FACE TOWELS
My teen daughter and I started using these at the beginning of the year to dry our faces instead of a regular bath towel. They are so soft and the texture in the cloth grabs dirt/product really well! We can also tell we have less breakouts! 10/10 recommend!
versed day maker exfoliator
I use this in the shower 1-2 times a week for gentle exfoliation. The texture is like soft sand and a little bit goes a long way! This brand is a great price point too!
gold revitalizing eye treatment mask
I love using these on mornings when my eyes are a little extra irritated from lack of sleep or a late night. They are cooling and help with dark circles and general puffiness.
VERSED WEEKEND GLOW DAILY BRIGHTENING SOLUTION
I really struggled with a dull and uneven skin tone after having kids. This toner is super gentle and works to bring the glow back to your face as well as reduce dark spots from things like melasma. Another product at a really great price point.
Tula vitamin C drops
This serum contains 3 different types of vitamin C to help with dullness and to reduce dark spots on the skin, This in combination with the Versed Toner above has worked wonders on my skin tone.
Ordinary hyaluronic acid drops
Deeply hydrating, softening and plumping, I added this to my routine when we moved to Phoenix a year and a half ago from the recommendation of a Esthetician. It’s a great for mature skin and the price point cant be beat!
babe lash essential serum
I have been using this product for about 3 years to help the natural growth of my lashes. Used daily in the evenings this serum helps support lash length. Use every day for 3 months to see full results. Then reduce to 3 times a week for maintenance.
babe lash enhancing conditioner
I have been using this product for about 3 years to help the natural growth of my lashes. Used daily in the mornings this serum helps support lash density. Use every day for 3 months to see full results. Then reduce to 3 times a week for maintenance.
tula 24/7 moisturizer
This day and night cream packs a punch on hydration without feeling heavy and greasy. I love how it feels under makeup!
Supergoop glow screen
Living in Phoenix where we have 300+ sunny days a year, sunscreen is a daily must have! Supergoop is our absolute favorite brand because it truly feels like a lotion instead of a greasy sunscreen. The subtle glow in this face specific is perfect for no or light makeup days!
Tula Rose Glow brightening eye balm
This eye balm is perfect under or over makeup. It gives a gentle glow and has a cooling effect for tired or irritated eyes. I use it in the morning, but it’s also a great pick me up mid day when makeup is starting to fade.
EOS lip balm
It’s simple, It’s moisturizing. this lip balm has been the the longest running product in my skincare routine!
Morning skincare routine
My morning skincare routine typically occurs around 5:45am. I am an early riser and washing my face for the day helps me to wake up and get going! These are the products (in order) that I use in the morning:
- TULA CULT CLEANSER
- VERSED DAY MAKER EXFOLIATOR (1-2 times per week)

- TULA 24/7 MOISTURIZER
- SUPERGOOP GLOW SCREEN
- TULA ROSE GLOW COOLING AND BRIGHTENING EYE BALM (over makeup & as needed throughout the day)

evening skincare routine
My evening skincare routine typically occurs around 7pm if we are home for the night, or right before bed. These are the products I use (in order) in the evening, and they only vary slightly from my morning routine.
- TULA CULT CLEANSER
- CLEAN SKIN CLUB DISPOSABLE FACE TOWELS
- VERSED WEEKEND GLOW DAILY BRIGHTENING SOLUTION (applied with a cotton round)
