For preface, I am a huge advocate for skincare. Fortunately, I have pretty good skin, so pimples are not too common for me. With that said, I still take skincare very seriously and practice it daily. So, in today's post, I'm going to show y'all the products I use during the winter season to protect my skin from the California cold. Let's get into it!


The first thing I do is wash my face with a Cleanser. I have oily to combination skin, so it's important for me to wash my face daily. Personally, I prefer Cetaphil products for skincare. Currently, I am using the Daily Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin.
I really focus on working the product into my T-Zone area, seeing as that's the area I'm the oiliest. Also, I use this with warm to hot water to open up my pores, and then cold water once I am done washing my face and body to close the pores again. This cleanser does a great job of making my face feel clean, without the dry and stripped feeling. *They recently rebranded, so the bottle pictured is from before that time. Same product and ingredients.


Once I'm done with cleansing, I move on to Toner. I use the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Triple-Action Toner (Whew...That's a long title). I use a clean cotton ball with a medium amount of product and rub that everywhere around my face. Again, I focus this on my T-Zone. I also use this on my neck and ears for a good cleaning as well. I have been using this product for years, and I stand by it. I like that it makes my skin feel extra clean and, according to the cotton ball, it picks up any leftover dirt on my face.

The last step is Moisturizing. This is my favorite part of the skin-care routine. For the fall and winter, I am using the Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion. This facial lotion is for all skin types, as well as, for body and face. This is SUPER moisturizing for me, so a little goes a LOOOONNNNGGGG (long) way. I know that a lot of people say that oily skin comes from a lack of moisture and water, but with this product, using too much makes my skin feel gross and over moisturized. So far, though, I am really enjoying it.

That's it, my super simple morning skincare routine for winter. These products are my favorites right now and have been working for me. What skincare products are you currently using, and would recommend for the Winter?
