I’m breaking down the simplified skincare routine that has transformed my skin in my 40’s, leaving it cleaner & brighter…allowing the real me to shine through.
As I continue this journey of getting dressed to feel confident & unstoppable, I’ve started taking a look at most of my everyday routines. And as I head deeper into my 40’s skincare is definitely one of them. I don’t believe in anti-aging or chasing every new under eye patch since getting older is a gift! But anything I can do to simplify or better take care of myself in this busy season with 2 young kids is a go for me.
So let’s get into it …
Facial Toning Device: The Ziip Halo
The hype is true. use code LATELYZIIP to save
I saw an immediate difference and because of the combination of Nanocurrent and Microcurrent the results after 7 months only keep getting better. They have a great lineup of gel options to meet your individual goals but the basic electro complex that it comes with is great for getting started and still the one I use today. I do the standard treatment which I think is 4 minutes, while looking in the mirror and saying “I love you”. Is a beautiful, calm way to start my day.
I then follow with….
The 3 Products That Work Together To Do It All
The elegantly simple Vintner’s Daughter Ultimate Set
No guessing. No extra under eye creams, makeup removers or masks. The Vintner’s Daughter ultimate set truly is a game changing system I can never see myself moving away from.
And if you have sticker shock at first like I did, know that the bottles last 10 weeks so when I broke it down the price was comparable to all the products I was previously using. They do not offer codes or discounts but every 6th bottle is free with inclusion in their subscription program.
A few highlights & and this post on how best to apply them:
- Step 1: Active Renewal Cleanser ~ does double duty as a makeup remover and cleanser in one, I massage it in for a good minute and am obsessed
- Step 2: Active Treatment Essence ~ they call it an 8-in-1 facial in a bottle, I call it incredible
- Step 3: Active Botanical Serum ~ one of the most awarded beauty products of all time. enough said
Body Lotion Backed In Science
One Skin Peptide Lotion, use code LATELY15
More than a lotion but a daily treatment for dry, creepy skin. I started using it few years ago after hearing about it on a bioacking podcast and immediately started seeing results, especially on my upper arms, inner thighs, and stomach. It’s my secret weapon after 2 kids and weight loss.
An LED Red Light Mask That Actually Works
The CurrentBody V2 with an extra wavelength, use code LATELY
I’ll be honest I was using a different red light mask last year and didn’t notice a difference. But this series 2 has an extra wavelength that is a game changer. I also add a couple drops of their green tea serum to enhance results. It’s also helped me get into a beautiful nightly routine of laying down with it on for 10 minutes on my PEMF mat (code: LATELY15) to unwind from the day, take deep breaths and practice gratitude.
The Only Face Sunscreen That Doesn’t Irritate My Eyes
Dune Mineral Melt, use code LATELY15
And goes on smooth without leaving residue. It was so good I tried the invisible gel body suncreen and now it’s all I use.
I Can’t Go To Bed Without It
The finishing touch to say good-bye to dry, cracked lips for good. Also love giving this when I need a little gift.
