My Wakey Wakey Routine [December 2023 πŸŽ„β„οΈ]

Good morning, Muffins! Today, I would like to share my morning routine that involves with brightening and hydrating products, especially for the holidays. Let's end this year with a glow! πŸ’œ Disclaimer: The cleanser that I am using up for mornings only until it's empty is Gleamin Gentle Jelly Face Cleanser with BHA + Green Tea + Vitamin C. However, it has not been added on this app as of now. Plus, I don't care about this one since it doesn't foam despite that it doesn't break me out. If you are looking for a non-foaming cleanser that is gentle and contains actives, try this one. Once it's empty, I will go back to my unused Hyper Skin cleanser (second tube) since it does foam. That being said, I mildly wet my face with warm water and dispense this mild orangey-scented cleanser (yummy) into my hands. Then massage in gentle circles on my face for about a minute since it is moisturizing. Afterwards, I rinse well with warm water then cool water and gently pat my face with my morning microfiber rag (grey ones while the black ones are for the night routines) since I have a small face. Baby smoooove! ☺️

Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick

While my face is slightly damp, I appy THE SAEM Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick around both of my eye areas, gliding across about 3 times each side for hydration boost. Then I lightly pat around with my ring fingers to absorb it. Very refreshing, too!

** I received this product for free from Picky and The SAEM in exchange for my honest review. ** Here is my review of The SAEM Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick. It comes in a blue package with a cute Polar Bear on it. The scent gives me a subtle Green Tea. I glide this eye stick under my eye areas twice and lightly pat around those areas. I did notice on picture 3 (hydrating collagen on the left; hydrating on the right) based on comparison between two of their eye sticks...the hydrating one looks a little better. But that's about it. It is very hydrating and it has a cooling effect so I will continue to use this. Feels amazing, drink drink!

Vital C-Some Toning Capsule Toner

After that step, I pour Athe Vital C-Some Toning Capsule Toner into my hand and apply it on my face. Gently pat and massage for about a minute. Due to a recent weather change, I apply a second layer of this lovely toner then repeat for an extra minute. Drink up!

** I received this product for free from Picky and AthΓ© in exchange for my honest review. ** I got a chance to try AthΓ© VitalC-some Toning Capsule Toner. It contains Vitamin C, 10 types of Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and many more. It comes in a green box and the bottle looks very interesting. There's barely any scent which is very surprising because it contains essential oils according to the ingredient list. I was a little nervous because my face has been starting to have a slight reaction (redness) to any products with multiple essential oils, especially vitamin-based products. Also, this is a vegan product (for those who are curious). Now here's the true test. Once I shake the toner out of the bottle onto my hands (that controllable pour is already amazing 😯), it almost feels like water. When I apply the toner on my face...it felt amazing! My face was drinking it up, it was very hydrating. Barely sticky or tacky. Even more amazing: no irritations or any redness! Adding a vitamin concentrated serum for a brightening boost after this toner along with using a hydrating sunscreen makes my face even more amazing! (Picture #1 before the serum and the sunscreen) Have I finally found my favorite toner?! Yes, I do! I have been using this toner for daily mornings and I will continue to use it. πŸ’œ

No.5 Glutathione Vitamin C Concentrated Serum

After the toner absorbs, I use about between 4-5 drops of numbuzin No. 5 Glutathione Vitamin C Concentrated Serum into my hands and apply it on my face. Then I massage and lightly pat around my face for about a minute (or two) until it absorbs. Glowify!

** I received this product for free from Picky and Numbuzin in exchange for my honest review. ** I've always wanted to try No. 5 Vitamin Concentrated Serum by Numbuzin due to amazing ingredients along tackling certain skin issues. It contains Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, Glutathione, Vitamin C, Turmeric, and many more. Perfect for brightening dark spots/acne scars. It doesn't contain essential oils and barely has any scent. A little bit moisturizing (could be due to Shea Butter) which feels amazing on my baby smoooove face. No irritations! The true test is how well it works. I can safely say as a person who deals with stubborn acne scars, I am surprised...in a good way! Don't believe me? Check out the 3rd picture based on before and after 11 days of using this amazing serum! ☺ Although it's not completely faded yet, it is still a huge improvement. I am now a fan! πŸ’œ

Onion Newpair Suncreen SPF40 PA+++

Once my face drink it up all of goodness and getting it shine on, I apply two fingers of Isntree Onion Newpair Sunscreen (purplicious πŸ’œ) all over my face (except my eye areas) and my neck until it's fully blended. Take my glowing face to a whole new level!

**I received this product for free from Picky and Isntree in exchange for my honest review.** Isntree Onion Newpair Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++ UVA/UVB I was very curious to try this one out because it was supposed to be great for those with acne-prone skin. Plus, a YouTuber named Cassandra Bankson (an esthetician) raved about it (of course, one of the makers as well) and she suffers from acne just like me. And of course, it's purple! πŸ˜€ Packaged in purple and white, this contains Onion Bulb Extract, Niacinamide, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, and more. The consistency is lightweight, but spreadable (two fingers for my face and neck). The color of the product inside of the tube is light purple (lavender). The scent smells like a mild baby powder so don't let that onion ingredient fool you. πŸ˜‚ This was amazing for the first application! I love that it is very hydrating and moisturizing. No purple cast! The glow is A-MAZING! Just remember to don't knock it until you try it because I really enjoy this sunscreen. πŸ’œ

V10 Hyal Lip Sun Protector SPF15

Just like my face for sun protection, my lips needs it as well. I apply Some By Mi V10 Hyal Lip Sun Protector on my lips. An added bonus: it has a lot of moisture. Pucker up, Muffins! 😘

Hello, Muffins! I finally got a chance to try Some By Mi V10 Hyal Lip Sun Protector SPF 15! Now, I am aware that lip health is just as important as skin health so I was looking for a very moisturizing lip product with SPF during the day since I had no luck with the others (they were not moisturizing on my dry, chapped lips despite sun protection 😒). However, this one is different since it contains Tocopheryl Acetate, Hyal Complex, Niacinamide, and other ingredients including a couple of essential oils (Orange and Lemon) which explains the citrus scent. I squeeze the tube and the consistency is a little thick, but very moisturizing. It really helps that I didn't have to reapply very often in one day because it stays on my lips. For those reasons, this has become my favorite SPF lip product! Moisturizing...check! Hydrating...check! Smells delicious...check! Sun protection...check! Stays on my lips for longer than an hour...CHECK! I am extremely satisfied and I will be buying more of these babies! Speaking of buying, I would love to try their sunscreen out as well in the near future (once I run out of my other sunscreens, of course) so stay tuned! πŸ’œ

Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Silky-fit Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++

My honorable mention for this routine is SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Silky-fit Sun Stick based on my sunscreen reapplications. About two hours after my first application of Isntree sunscreen, I glide this sunny baby all over my face until I am fully covered and protected. Baby smoooove glowy skin! ☺️

** I received this product for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review. ** When I found out that SKIN1004 recently launched the sun stick version of Hyalu-Cica, I was extremely excited since I love their sunscreen so much. This contains Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera, Turmeric, Centella Asiatica, and many more. It doesn't contain any scents and the color of the product is ocean blue (like the packaging ☺). Speaking of packaging, this is a cutie patootie! Smaller than a palm of my hand. I caught myself singing a lullaby to this baby because it looks precious! Okay, enough of my smoochie woochie talks. πŸ˜‚ I turn the bottom knob and start swiping across and around my face along with under my face during reapplications. It glides very well and it's hydrating. Very baby smooooove! If you haven't already, invest of getting this sun stick! It's coming with me, especially when I am going out of town for the holidays! πŸ’œ

UPDATE: Started February 28th, Gleamin has discontinued Gentle Jelly Face Cleanser along with their other previous products (except the mask) to revamp their look and change their formulas. Right now, the cleanser is the only product that has yet to be re-launched (the preview looks very promising, though) while others are out already so hopefully very soon. Once I get my hands on their revamped products, I will make reviews about them so stay tuned. πŸ’œ
