As I have gotten older I have started to become more
conscious about the types of products I use.
As someone who lives an active lifestyle I was already pretty conscious
of what I was putting in my body food wise, but wasn’t putting as much thought
or care into what I was putting on my body!
I was the type of person that never had a true skincare routine, and
kinda just bought products with little to no research hoping I would see the
results I wanted.
Fast forward to turning 30 (and later becoming a mom) and
something switched in me. I finally
decided enough was enough and started the search for a more natural skincare
routine, a routine I could stick with year after year. Eventually all of this searching led me to a
little natural soap shop in my little MN River town and Beautycounter.
Today I want to share with you
my morning skincare routine because it differs greatly from my nighttime
routine. I want to share with you the products I am loving, and that might work for you!
My morning routine is simple, because hello mom life! These 4 products are how I prep my skin for make up and the day ahead! I have found a few good quality products can elevate even the simplest morning routine!

So let’s get it started!
Cleanser -
I am a shower in the AM girl, so while in the shower I use
Modern Roots (local all natural soap shop) Milk Kefir Face Wash or Beautycounter's CounterControl Clear Pore Cleanser. I love these face washes for many reasons. But the major reason I love them is because they help me combat breakouts (because post Theo I now have teenager like skin and breakouts galore)! Both face washes are all natural and smells great, and bonus they exfoliate!
Moisturizer –
Post shower these are the products I lean on in the AM. I apply all three prior to putting on my make-up.
This is my go to all over moisturizer and I love it! This moisturizer is light weight but super
hydrating, and not greasy at all! Along with
providing 24-hours of hydration, but the hydration levels actually adjust throughout the day to
give your skin exactly what it needs.
Before Beautycounter I thought a facial oil would make me
oily, and was scared to try them (especially with my new found postpartum breakouts). But I was
so wrong! I use a few drops of Beautycounter
No. 1 Brightening oil in my Beautycounter Adaptive Moisturizer. I love the extra boost of moister this oil
provides but also love that the Vitamin C helps brighten my dull tired skin and
also helps erase dark spots and discoloration.
Plus this oil smells amazing!
I remember my mom giving me my first pot of eye cream at 25,
and even though I didn’t have a firm skin care routine, I always made sure to
use an eye cream. This eye cream has been a
game changer for me. I love it because a
little bit goes a long way, and because it has seriously helped with the tiny
fine lines I am starting to see pop up now that I am 30!
I hope you enjoyed this post, stay tuned for my nightly skincare routine coming soon! And as always if you have any questions feel free to reach out!
