A few years ago I did that thing where you have your face examined with a special machine that analyzes the different layers of your skin. Dark spots, UV damage, wrinkles, predictions of what you will look like in 10 years….the works. And it was {gulp}. As someone who has always been proud of their skin and felt really lucky genetically, it was a wake up call that I can certainly do more now to prevent damage in the future. I started with changing up my skincare products and only using brands that are clean. I thought I’d give a look into the products and steps of my daily wintertime skincare routine. (P.S. Kendra at Alpyn Beauty told me the best way to add products is to layer from thinnest to thickest, which is a great tip!)

Extra: HIGH dose retinol by sunday riley
Because I have an upcoming wedding this year, I thought it was about time to introduce retinol to my skincare lineup. I just started using Sunday Riley's A+ High Dose Retinol Serum 2 - 3 times a week at night, under my nighttime skincare routine. At first my skin was SUPER sensitive to sunlight so make sure to stay out of the sun. Now that it has calmed down, I'm excited to keep using for a few months and see the results.
