@TeamBIC

My perfect morning routine starts with the innisfree sakura jelly cleanser. I follow up with the ordinary hyaluronic acid and the glow recipe niacinamide dew drops. After that I use my glow recipe watermelon glow moisturizer and the beauty of joseon sunscreen. Once I’m done with skincare I use the Ilia limitless last mascara and Saie blush in baby as well as a joocyee lip tint and summer Fridays lip butter balm in vanilla. Lastly Vaseline on my brows and under eyes then done!

I'm very much not a morning person. I try to make it go as well as possible by preparing the night before and laying out the stuff I need so that I can sleep as long as possible and get out the door as quickly as possible. Shower the night before and after I do my skincare I lay out my morning skincare. In the morning I can wake up, grab a diet Pepsi, do my skincare, let that sink in while I do my hair, do my make up and run out the door 10 minutes late. I also tend to do everything in the morning in the same order, I think I'm on auto pilot lol.

I'm very far from a morning person anymore - I very much can't stand getting up early, yet I do it ..... when I do I stick my feet in my slippers, slip my self down my hall into my bathroom brush my teeth, and I start the sink water to luke warm water to wash my face with I found this face wash at Bath and body works I really like Moxy makes I use it then I dry my face and apply my day face cream that is the brand Anew from Avon which sorry not sorry I love it. Then come down stairs and start my coffee 😁😊

Which moisturizer do you use from Glow Recipie? The pink juice or the plum plump?

I am definitely not a morning person so on workdays I have the same morning routine. I get up at 5:30, eat something small and have coffee. Wash my face with , use my Nuface and Nuface fix, then , , , , , and then SPF. I don’t spend a lot of time on my hair because I always end up putting it in a clip or ponytail. Makeup usually takes about 5 minutes and then I’m ready to go!

Week 1 (1/10 – 1/16): Creating the perfect morning routine to start your day off right

I usually start my mornings tidying up the house. Then I do my morning stretches and get ready to take the kids to school or head to the studio.

I always remember to put on and before I leave. I shower the night before and plan what to wear to make it quicker to get ready

This is a fun idea!

My perfect morning routine is all about hydration.

I like to start off my morning routine with a moisturizing face wash, I use and follow with a hyularonic acid serum, and then my niacinamide drops to help balance my skin.

Then give my skin some glow with .

And yes of course, a little coffee to start my day. ☕

Week 1 - Self care is so important, @TeamBIC ! We all deserve it 😊. In the mornings I wake up extra early so I can enjoy my coffee without rushing ☕️. Then I pack my lunch.

I get dressed and head out the door.

On the weekends my routine is a little more laid back. I have my coffee, workout and then do the skincare.

Week 1 (1/10 – 1/16): Creating the perfect morning routine to start your day off right 🌞

Hmm, debating if i should list my perfect routine, or a more realistic one! My ideal morning would involve sleeping in…. But I’m trying to ensure there’s time for self-care (especially in the mornings), so here is what mine look like these days!

Wake up with baby, feed and change him
Do a little tidy of the bedroom, nursery and kitchen - i feel so much better when my environment is clear and organized!)
Fill up my water bottle and make a coffee
Little guy is usually a little more awake by this time, so i read with him. Currently im just reading my books to him, but eventually I’ll start reading him books that he’ll be more interested in Haha
Feed, change and do tummy time with baby
Shower and do my skincare routine, including body moisturizing (i was really consistent with this in 2023, and want to keep the momentum going)
Get dressed and ready for the day, including some makeup (which has been made easier thanks to the !)

At some point in the morning i do try to check emails, make some calls and “run” as many errands as i can online (grocery orders, online shopping, making appointments etc). I create to-do lists that are organized by time (morning, afternoon, evening), so that i feel productive during the day as well!

cianni — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 16:14:05 GMT

@CynthieLu i have a mini of that Glow Recipe moisturizer - i think i may try it now! I have a somewhat similar routine as you, so i think it’ll work nicely 🙂

cianni — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 16:15:21 GMT

@ather a giant cup of coffee and a simple, effective skincare routine, with an (occasional) bonus of sleeping in? This is a routine i can definitely get behind!!

I'm a fan of glowy skin @cianni. 😉 I hope you like it!

(If I want to be a bit extra, I'll use the Dew Drops or Mist from GR before my make up. ✨)
