Starting a Routine
The 4 Basic Steps
I follow 4 steps during my routine, regardless of day or night:
- Cleanse
- Tone
- Serum
- Moisturize (don't forget the SPF in the morning; check out my article about how you can use your medical account to buy your SPF here)
The serum is optional, but critical when looking to improve a specific aspect of our skin (ie. dark spots, texture, redness, brightening, fine lines, etc.)
If you're looking to start a routine begin with cleansing & moisturizing.
If you've already been in a routine & want to test a new product swap only 1 product into your new routine to experiment for a time. This allows a clear evaluation of the product's benefits.
If you're concerned about the monetary investment upfront. Check out my apple cider vinegar toner recipe--just be warned it smells since it's simply vinegar!

Stubborn marks, scars, and spots? Topicals Faded Brightening & Clearing Mist & serum has got you covered so that you can kick back and let your worries fade away. I've been using face/neck serums & moisturizer on my keloid scars for years and only until I started using Topicals Faded products have I noticed my keloids start to flatten & fade!
Farmacy Serums & Moisturizers
Topicals Faded Brightening & Clearing Mist
Farmacy Serums & Moisturizers
Just bought this set for Christmas & now I'm all about their serums & moisturizers. I've been on the hunt for a couple of years to find a high-quality, clean serum that works well & doesn't go well into triple digits.
Would love to hear if anyone else has tried Farmacy & what your go-to favorites are!
Tatcha Toners
Dragonfly Botanicals Wrinkle Serum
Farmacy Serums & Moisturizers
I've straight up defaulted to mainly using Tatcha for their quality & my consistent results using their products. However, like all brands, some things work better than others & I do believe there are better options. Recently I've particularly been enjoying their newest Texture Toner. Tatcha is extremely well known for its packaging & philanthropic efforts with every bottle purchased.

Dragonfly Botanicals Wrinkle Serum
Pricing Disclosure: this company has the highest consistency & largest inventory of products with the cleanest natural & organic ingredients. So it makes sense their pricing reflects. I've yet to try more of their products due to the pricing, however, I cannot say more positive things about the Full Spectrum Wrinkle Serum with Vitamins A, E & C. I've been using their Wrinkle Serum since 2019 and the consistent results are unprecedented!
Dragonfly Botanicals is a family ran company since 2007 & located in Colorado.
