Tonight's bedtime routine is guest staring Lancôme, It’s gift with purchase (GWP) time again, granted they have a crap ton a year, I decided today’s post will be about the new Énergie De Vie. You’ll hear me often say the two most important things you can do for your face is exfoliate and hydrate. Well let's start with hydrate. Regardless if you're oily or dry you need to hydrate. You say "But I'm oily....everything makes me greasy". Okay so you know how when we retain water it's actually because we're not getting enough water? Somewhat the same with oil. Sometimes we go oily when we're not getting enough moisture and our skin freaks out. Énergie De Vie is all about water hydration, calming the skin down, basically giving your skin a drink of water. Those of us with ridiculously busy lives and the constant struggle to relinquish the childhood need to stay up late, doesn't mean our skin needs to reflect it. Now I might have done things out of order but I'll pretend I have a method to the madness. I used my daily Clinique Sonic 3 step, Estée Lauder Advance Night Repair (ANR), and finished it with the Ènergie De Vie moisturizer and then followed with the liquid moisturizer to seal it all in. My stress level and anxiety level are extremely high (queue break down at work) but my skin is giving support enough not to reflect it. But it's time to relax and be calm before bed knowing I at least accomplished one thing today. I washed my damn face. Next time I'll chat about how I combine it with my new favorite foundation Clinique Superbalanced Silk.
