This past year, I have resolved to start taking better care of my skin. My love affair with cosmetics has taken a back seat, and now skincare has slowly become a top priority. The skin of a twenty-something is frustrating; I still get occasional breakouts, and I still have to deal with my oily t-zone. I also have noticed some lines forming between my eyes, and my skin seems to be more sensitive overall. I'm stuck between the remnants of a teen, and yet grasping with the fact that I'll be thirty in no time flat.  Oh, the best of both worlds ;)
Here are the products I'm currently using (and loving) to take good care of my skin's schizophrenic needs.

Cleansers
I use Cetaphil daily because it's so gentle. I use the generic CVS version of Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash once or twice a week, especially when my face starts feeling congested. I've used Neutrogena since I was 12, so I find it unbelievable that it still works for me now that I'm in my twenties.

Makeup Removers
Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, Neutrogena Night Calming Face Wipes, Target generic version of L'oreal Makeup Remover


Moisturizers
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel, Mac Fix +, Kiehls Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado


Exfoliators
Philosophy Microdelivery Mini Peel Pads and Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub. I use the pads twice a week at night, the scrub once a week.

Sun Protection
CopperTone Oil Free Sunscreen, SPF 30. It doesn't clog pores and blends right in to skin so it doesn't leave a greasy residue. This stuff is amazing! Even the boy likes it.



What do you girls love to use? I hope it works well for you! The older I get, the more I realize how important our skin is. If you have any questions on any of the products I use, ask me below!

I'm not sure what an It girl is, but whatever it may mean, this girl has got it!

When I'm not blogging or watching YouTube videos, I'm most likely scanning Chictopia. One girl I've come across several times is beautiful, and her style is my ideal. She lives in Paris, clearly loves leopard print as much as I do, has an affinity for skinny jeans, and owns gorgeous shoes and bags. I honestly don't know much about her, but I always save her pictures to my inspiration folder because I want to emmulate every single one of her looks.

Although Summer is my favorite time of year due to outdoor adventures, getaways, and fun with friends, Fall is my favorite season for fashion. I miss layering and the ability to wear little jackets and jeans without sweltering in the heat. Luckily, California weather is a bit unpredictable in late Spring/early Summer, and it's been nice dressing in Fall-like clothing this week. Bring on the June "gloom."

What's your favorite season for fashion?
