I think you guys know by now but skincare is one of my favorite hobbies besides blogging and brunching. #truth. Over the past few years I have really upped my skincare routine. I literally cringe when I think back to college when I didn’t “need” to wash my face because I never experienced breakouts. Little did I know the importance of washing my face at the time (thank god that phase is over).

Today I wanted to share a new line that I completely converted to: dermalogica.

The team at dermalogica invited me to experience a treatment at their studio in SoHo. Man, oh man, I have to admit – it was the best hour of my day! Note to self: I really need to start incorporating a facial into my monthly “maintenance” routine. My skin felt so smooth and bright after my treatment I am HOOKED.

Throughout my treatment, my skin therapist asked me numerous questions about my summer skincare routine in addition to which products I currently use. I do have to pat myself on the back because she thought I had a great routine going! Woop de woop!!! My skin therapist did introduce me to several new products that I have since started incorporating into my routine.

Here is a breakdown of which products I started incorporating for my new summer skincare regimen:

• The first two products: a pre-cleanse and clearing skin wash. The pre-cleanse formula thoroughly melts away layers of excess oil, sunscreen, pollutants and products that build up on your skin (so key when living in New York City!) Their skin wash formula is also on point. I’ve noticed ever since moving to New  York my skin has changed a bit. I don’t know if it’s caused by the pollutants in the NYC air but I make sure to use a gentle skin wash in order to get rid of dead skin.
• The next two products are a serious addiction: the Firming Eye Cream and the Ultra-smoothing Eye Serum.  The ultra-smoothing eye serum (also a new addition) helps produce collagen and smooths fine lines which is definitely a concern of mine. I then apply their firming eye cream which aids in the natural repair process.
• Last but not least, dermalogica’s ultra-calming face mist is a MUST. One of my biggest skincare concerns is hydration. I noticed that this past winter was especially rough on my skin. You know that 3 o’clock slump? My skin gets so dry by the end of the day that the ultra calming mist is the perfect product to use throughout the day.

Anywho, I could talk about skincare all day. Be sure to check out dermalogica’s SoHo location for your next facial treatment and you can pick up my new favorite products below.
