My Safer Summertime Skincare Routine

When the weather changes, so does my skincare routine! I would consider my skin to be combination. Until about a year ago, I did not have a skincare routine at all. However, after discovering Beautycounter, experiencing how the products work and feel on my skin, and learning/seeing the benefits of a skincare regimen, it has now become an essential part of my day. If you are like me, a little bit of self-care at the beginning and end of the day is a tremendous mood boaster! Plus, we will never regret taking care of our skin. My skincare routine consists of Beautycounter’s Countermatch and Countertime products. If you are feeling a bit confused on what regimen if best for you, go ahead and take the skin-care quiz to get a bit more guidance.

Good news: Beautycounter is running a promo now until 8/21, if you purchase a regimen or collection, you will get a FREE No. 1 Brightening Facial Oil ($69 value)

Here is my Anti-Aging/Combination Skin Care Routine:

Daytime Skincare Routine

Cleanser (AM & PM): The Countermatch Refresh Foaming Cleanser has been my go-to all summer long! First off, I just I love the foaming feeling of a cleanser. This one does an amazing job of washing away dirt/grim/makeup/dead skin cells without leaving skin feeling tight or dry! This cleanser is made with ingredients such as squalene, plum oil, and phytic acid! It leaves the skin feel soft and glowing! I do this one twice a day.

Toner (AM & PM): The Countertime Mineral Essence Toner primes the skin for additional hydration. The product is lightweight, but very nourishing to the skin. I shake a few drops into my hands after cleansing and pat into my skin. The toning step is a crucial step and one you do not want to skip. The toner provides vital nutrients to the skin’s moisture barrier and preps it for the treatment step to follow!

Treatment (AM & PM): The Countertime Tripeptide Radiance Serum is an anti-aging powerhouse. If you are considering just one product in the regimen, this one is it! It works to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, visibly increases firmness and elasticity, and gives skin a glowing appearance! I always make sure to apply this product on face, neck, and décolletage with upward strokes!

Treatment (AM): The All Bright C Serum is a perfect mix of citrus and turmeric. The All Bright C Serum should be applied in the daytime. It works to safeguard the skin during the day and keep the skin glowing! This product is perfect for those who are concerned with dull and uneven skin tone!

Protect (AM): The Countertime Antioxidant Soft Cream is my daily face lotion. It is lightweight and hydrating (but thankfully not greasy). The product sinks in immediately and therefore makes it a great primer for your makeup! You will notice a brighter glow immediately after placing product in your skin.

Protect (AM): Countersun Daily Sheer Defense Sunscreen is my favorite face sunscreen. Every ingredient in Beautycounter’s sunscreen is screened for safety and sourced sustainably. Not only is this sunscreen safe, it works great! It is lightweight and feels like you have nothing on.

Protect (PM): The Countertime Supreme Cream is such a treat! It is amazingly rich and hydrating! I was initially worried to use this one in the summertime. Due to the richness of the product, I was concerned I may break out. However, I have had the opposite effect! This product has tremendously supported my moisture needs throughout the winter and summer months!

Nighttime Skincare Routine!

I love to add Beautycounter’s charcoal products to my routine when my skin needs a bit of a deep clean. The charcoal products do an amazing job of detoxing, balancing, and refining the skin. Beautycounter offers both a charcoal mask and bar. Both of these products are essentials in my skincare routine!
