We’ve talked about skincare maintenance, both actual skincare and the makeup (make sure you’ve invested in these 10 products) you’re using on the daily. But I know some of you are still using excuses like I’ll just wait until I run out of my current moisturizer, the exfoliator I want to use is so expensive, sugar is a decent exfoliator, right?, to continue your horrendous skincare routines. Let’s drop that old routine like it’s hot, shall we?
Buzzfeed recently posted about a 7-Day skincare challenge that leads to better skin. Who doesn’t want that!? Well, YOU if you’re exfoliating with sugar... Whether you’re still trying to figure out what the difference between sand and exfoliant is or you’re a skincare savant, I highly encourage you to challenge yourself to this 7-Day skincare routine. I’m starting the 7-Day challenge today and posting this adventure on my Instagram. Make sure you’re following along to get my tips and tricks along the way and make sure you check out my favorite products for each of the 7 days below.
+ Hard to believe, but I’ve tested each of the products I’ve listed here (cross my heart black soul). All are made for sensitive to normal skin types.
Day 1 // Brush Cleanser << currently using >>
I wash my brushes once a month. Gross? Maybe, but I don’t have the time or patience to wait for them to dry so once a month it is. I drop a little cleanser in my hand, wet the brush, and swirl it in the cleaner until it’s soaked up. I run the brush under warm water until it’s completely clean, squeeze it dry, then lay it on a towel over night. Depending on how much makeup is on the brush you may need to clean it twice. This one is my favorite but the cleansers below are also top notch.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts. I have yet to find a sunblock I really like. I’ll be following on instagram!

I love love LOVE Trader Joe’s makeup remover wipes! Seems like a totally weird place to get makeup removers, but they are inexpensive, smell great, and the package actually re-seals so they DON’T DRY OUT! I keep a pack in my bathroom, gym bag, and weekender. Oh, and they don’t irritate my eyes and I wear contacts so that’s a biggie.
Need to get better about exfoliating!
Totally forgot to pick these up while I was there last night – thank you for the rec! I went in for white flowers and cheesecake. Priorities.
