Everything I’ve Been Using on My Skin Lately
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: SUNCARE • EYE CREAM • RECOVERY BALM • EYE MASK • CLEANSING PADS
Every summer, my skincare routine gets put to the test when we head to Aspen. Between the altitude, dry mountain air, and constant time outdoors, my skin behaves completely differently than it does in Dallas. This year, especially, it’s been noticeably drier, so I’ve been paying extra attention to the products that actually keep my skin hydrated, comfortable, and – hopefully! – glowing.
Below, the skincare products I’m loving right now—and exactly why they’ve made the cut.
GENTLE HYDRATING CLEANSER
The kind of cleanser that leaves your skin feeling clean—not tight.
SOFIE PAVITT FACE WIPES
These are perfect for an on-the-go, post-workout cleanse—gentle enough to use consistently but effective enough that I notice a difference.
SISLEY 1-MINUTE EXFOLIATING MASK
The instant-gratification product in my routine. In just one minute, it smooths, brightens, and gives my skin that fresh, just-had-a-facial look with almost no effort.
NATURA BISSE DIAMOND COCOON SHEER EYE
Part skincare, part concealer, and one of the few eye products I actually think is worth the money. It brightens, smooths, and makes me look more awake than I probably am.
PREQUEL REDNESS REFORM SOOTHING SERUM
This is one of the newest additions to my routine, and it’s off to a very good start. I’ve been reaching for it whenever my skin feels a little irritated or looks flushed, and so far I’m really impressed with how quickly it helps calm everything down.
ALTRENO 0.05%
My prescription retinoid of choice. It’s surprisingly gentle for a tretinoin, layers easily into my nighttime routine, and gives me all the benefits I’m after without leaving my skin feeling overly dry or irritated.
111SKIN CRYO DE-PUFFING EYE MASK
My go-to before an event, early flight, or any morning when I need to fake eight hours of sleep. Ten minutes is all it takes to noticeably de-puff and leave my under-eyes looking brighter and more refreshed.
DUNE THE MUG GUARD SPF
An SPF that never feels like a chore. It’s lightweight, invisible (!), and layers beautifully under makeup. It has become my default every morning—which, to me, is the mark of a really good sunscreen.
SUPERGOOP! GLOW STICK SPF 50
This is the only sunscreen my boys don’t fight me on. The stick makes it ridiculously easy to swipe on before we’re out the door, glides on without any messy white cast to rub in. It’s the one SPF they happily let me reapply throughout the day.
IS CLINICAL SHEALD RECOVERY BALM
My saving grace this month. Whenever my skin feels dry, irritated, or like it needs a reset, this is what I reach for. It’s rich without feeling heavy and does an incredible job of calming, comforting, and bringing stressed-out skin back to life.
