My skincare routine is a necessary form of self care. I love taking care of my skin every morning and evening, I look forward to it every day. 

Here are 12 skincare tips that have helped me uplevel my skincare routine. 

1. Less is More:

Simplify your skincare routine by focusing on essential steps, avoiding unnecessary steps and ingredients. That’s why I love Mad Hippie for their simple and well thought out ingredients. 

2. Know Your Skin Type:

Tailor your skincare routine to your skin's unique needs, whether it's dry, acne prone, or combination, for optimal results.

  • For Dry Skin: Try the hydrating skin routine with a vitamin c serum, antioxidant facial oil, night cream, cream cleanser and hydrating mist. Find it in a set here.

  • For Acne Prone Skin:  Try Mad Hippie's Clarifying Routine with vitamin C serum, blemish cream, and choose between vitamin a serum or AHA exfoliating peel. 

  • Simple Routine for All Skin Types: Try the photo-protective daytime routine, this includes vitamin c serum, antioxidant facial oil, hydrating nutrient mist, and spf serum. This is my go-to daily morning skincare routine. 

3. Never Miss Evening Cleansing:

Ensure a fresh start for your skin every morning by consistently cleansing your face before bedtime, eliminating impurities accumulated throughout the day.

4. Find a Routine You Can Stick With:

 Establish a skincare routine that suits your lifestyle, making it easier to maintain consistency for healthier and more radiant skin.

Here are a few routines that could work for you:

  • For Dry Skin: Try the hydrating skin routine with a vitamin c serum, antioxidant facial oil, night cream, cream cleanser and hydrating mist. Find it in a set here.

  • For Acne Prone Skin:  Try Mad Hippie's Clarifying Routine with vitamin C serum, blemish cream, and choose between vitamin a serum or AHA exfoliating peel. 

  • Simple Routine for All Skin Types: Try the photo-protective daytime routine, this includes vitamin c serum, antioxidant facial oil, hydrating nutrient mist, and spf serum. This is my go-to daily morning skincare routine. 

  • Skin Care Lover Routine (evening): For the person who loves taking her time while doing skincare routine while saying your positive affirmations and practicing self love - this is the routine I recommend for you:

    • Cleansing oil, massage into your skin while saying your affirmations

    • Vitamin C serum

    • Antioxidant facial oil (do 3 drops of each in your hand and mix together before massaging into your skin

    • Vitamin A serum, this helps reduce wrinkles

    • Triple C Night Cream, to lock in all that nourishing skin goodness while you sleep. 


Tip: Do your skincare routine 1 hour before bedtime so your skin can soak it all in before laying on your pillow. 


5. Skincare is Self-Care:

View your skincare routine as a form of self-care, dedicating time to nurture and prioritize the well-being of your skin. Love your skin while nourishing it. 

6. Change Pillowcase Weekly:

 Promote a clean sleeping environment by changing your pillowcase weekly, reducing the risk of bacterial buildup and skin issues.

7. Pat Dry:

Gently pat your skin dry after cleansing to avoid unnecessary friction and maintain your skin's natural moisture balance.

8. Mild pH Balanced Cleanser:

Opt for a mild, pH-balanced cleanser to effectively clean your skin without disrupting its natural pH levels. This is the one I use and love. 

9. If It Irritates Your Skin, It’s Not For You:

Listen to your skin's feedback; if a product causes irritation, it might not be suitable for your skin type, and it's best to explore alternatives. This is another reason why I love Mad Hippie so much, my sensitive skin LOVES their products. 

10. Correct Order - Cleanse, Tone, Serums, Moisturizer, Sunscreen:

Follow the correct order of skincare application for maximum effectiveness: cleanse, tone, apply serums, moisturize, and protect with sunscreen.

11. Hyaluronic Acid (in the Vitamin C Serum):

Combat aging by incorporating hyaluronic acid, a natural skin hydrator, found in vitamin C serums, to achieve a plumped and youthful complexion.

12. Try a Peptide Serum:

Integrate a peptide serum into your routine to support collagen production, promoting firmer and more resilient skin over time.
