My Daily Skincare Routine for Radiant Skin

12 February |

I am so excited to share my updated daily skincare routine for radiant looking skin. Over the past few months I’ve switched up a few products that I use, and the results have been incredible. After a consult with Kalen Ashford, owner of Ashford Cosmetics, we came up with a morning and evening skincare routine that is customized to my skin type.

This plan is also designed to help tackle a few key problem areas. My skincare goals include reducing pore size, eliminating redness, preventing fine lines and wrinkles and to focus on my T-zone. Ultimately, my goal is to feel confident in my skin and to go makeup free more often!

Skincare Advice from Expert, Kalen Ashford

On the Life with Loverly Podcast, we sat down and chatted with Kalen all about skincare, botox, fillers, and more! My biggest takeaway was that skincare products are not a one-size-fits-all product. What works for one person, may not work for someone else, which is exactly why it’s important to see a professional. She also mentioned that our skin continues to evolve and change as we age. This means that a skincare routine that works great for you now, may not be the best option in two years. It’s important to continue to take inventory of what is working, while also keeping in mind that it’s never too early to prevent and never too late to treat!
