*I purchased all of the products for my morning skincare routine with my own money. All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links. See my Privacy Policy for full details.*<\/em><\/p>\n I did a poll on my IG for the New Year and it was unanimous that people wanted me to continue sharing my makeup and skincare for my sensitive skin. I\u2019ve been through SO many products as a former beauty blogger- but now I really just go with the products that I fell in love with. I still occasionally try new things- especially cleansers- but I have found a few holy grail products that I keep in my routine all of the time now. <\/p>\n My current morning skincare routine is pretty simple. Once I\u2019ve had my coffee, of course, I wash my face. Currently I have been using this Intense Defense Cleansing Gel from Avalon Organics<\/a>. I love the fruity, citrusy smell to help wake up me and my face. It cleans without stripping my skin, and my face always feel soft and smooth after using it. I\u2019ve bought this a few times and will keep it in my rotation. I found it for a good price on Amazon and linked that- but you can also find it occasionally at T.J. Maxx and even Wal Mart in their slowly-growing natural skincare section. <\/p>\n I almost always use a toner after washing my face, morning and night. Especially if it comes in a spray bottle. This Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Floral Toner<\/a> is a great gentle option for sensitive skin. I\u2019ve shared some rose products that are great for sensitive skin<\/a> before, and this one has been a favorite for a long time. I usually find this at T.J. Maxx, but it is a decent price on Amazon as well- cheaper than the Andalou website.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been obsessed lately with these serums from Andalou as well. They\u2019re like a blend of a serum and a cream and just melt into your skin. I\u2019ve noticed that my skin really responds well to the ones I\u2019ve tried. In the morning I use the Turmeric and C Enlighten Serum<\/a>. It is really brightening and I always notice a difference when I use it. I apply it post toner and before my eye cream.<\/p>\n The eye cream I have been using for the last couple of years has been this Andalou Naturals Luminous Eye Serum<\/a>. It\u2019s light enough that it doesn\u2019t make my undereye area greasy or cake-y when I wear makeup- and honestly, using it for the last couple of years I definitely think it works well. I have few undereye wrinkles\/dark circles and since I\u2019m heading toward my mid-30\u2019s, I appreciate this!<\/p>\n When I choose a morning moisturizer I like one that hydrates without making me feel oily, especially living in a warmer climate now. I also want it to prep my skin nicely for makeup- ya know, for when we get to leave the house on a regular basis again. The Andalou Naturals DMAE Lift & Firm Cream<\/a> is my number one favorite daily moisturizer. It\u2019s affordable- especially if you can snag it from T.J. Maxx or Marshall\u2019s, or on sale. Even at full price it won\u2019t break the bank. It really firms my skin and keeps it at the perfect hydration level. It\u2019s my holy grail, BFF, one I recommend to every one! <\/p>\n
