My Skincare Routine x Tula

Happy Friday, girlfriends! My most common DM is “What is your skincare routine?” So I wanted to do a blog post on it for you all!

I was never one to wash my face at night and sometimes I would use Cetaphil in the AM. I never really had breakouts except around my chin and then here and there when it was my time of the month. Because of this, I always thought “I don’t need to wash my face, it’s fine.” When I would go to the store to get something, I would feel very overwhelmed or think the girl at the make up counter was just trying to make a sale. So back to Target or Walmart I would go to pick up my handy dandy Cetaphil.

As I have gotten older, I wanted to become more preventative and that is when I found Tula. I have been using Tula for about 6 months and I say this from the very bottom of my heart, Tula has changed my life! Yes, I still have some breakouts, especially with change of seasons or climates/traveling, but my skin has never looked brighter or felt better. The dark under my eyes are gone, my skin tone is all one color, my skin feels so soft, and most importantly it feels fresh and clean.

A little background on Tula. Tula is 100% free from phthalates, parabens, propylene glycol, petrolatum, gluten, and mineral oil and are also cruelty free. Tula is formulated with powerful, natural probiotics, healthy superfoods like blueberries and tumeric, and has targeted safe ingredients like AHAs, retinol (aka Vitamin A), and Vitamin C, to improve the look of the skin. What does all this mean?! It means Tula products are made with clean, clinically-proven, high-quality ingredients that nourish your skin. Read more here.

Here I am going to go through step by step what I use and when I use it!

Step 1- CLEANSE with the Purifying Cleanser (Perfect for all types of skin) – Gentle gel cleanser that cleans all over without stripping skin. I use this in the morning and at night. If you have oily or dry skin, I would try this.

Step 2- EXFOLIATE with the Exfoliating Cleansing Mask – I use this once a week, usually at night time. It is perfect for detoxifying and provides gentle exfoliation without stripping the skin of essential oils, making way for antioxidant-rich blueberry extract to hydrate and improve skin tone. I will also use this once a week 2 days after I do the mask – Dual-Phase Skin Reviving Treatment Pads – There is 1 Pad with 2 sides and you use for 2 minutes and gives you baby soft, smooth and brighter looking skin. It is literally an INSTANT FACIAL.

Step 3 – TONE (as needed) with Pro-Glycolic Resurfacing Gel – It is suitable for all skin types and all ages. This toner is alcohol-free and uses probiotics, glycolic acid, and beetroot extract to gently exfoliate the skin. I use this almost every morning after I was my face with the cleanser and I will squirt about 3-4 pumps on a cotton pad and and wipe all over my face. In my opinion, this is one of my favorite Tula products as the gel makes my face feel so cool and refreshed.

Step 4 – BOOST with Aqua Infusion Power Liquid – the HOLY GRAIL I call it! I use this morning and night and it is great for all skin types, especially dry and sensitive skin! I am REALLY bad about drinking water so I am SO thankful for this that I can use to help with my dehydrated skin! This power liquid is a supercharged serum contains 10,000 micro-bubbles filled with pure, fresh ingredients. Light as a liquid, yet super powerful. One thing I really love especially about this product is that even tho it is SO good for your skin, it is so LIGHT on your face. None of these products make your face feel heavy or greasy.

Step 5 – EYE – I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS Eye Renewal Serum – I cannot stress it enough! As a tired mama, I need ALL the help I can get and this serum I use MORNING and NIGHT! This serum is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and puffiness. Just in the last 2 months that I have been using it, I have seen SO much difference in my eyes and I love it because I don’t have to apply as much concealer under my eyes. I LOVE the tip of the applicator but if you prefer a cream, this cream is great as well-my mom uses and loves it.

Step 6 – MOISTURIZE – In the morning I use the Aqua Infused Oil Free Gel Cream and in the night time I use this Hydrating Day & Night Cream – The Gel Cream is literally like a glass of water for my face! It leaves the skin feeling quenched and revived and the Hydrating Cream I love to use at night because it delivers deep hydration to help revive dull skin. It is full of naturally derived probiotics and superfoods, that reveals an even, glowing, youthful-looking complexion.

IF you are acne prone, you can add THIS to your skincare routine by TREATING your skin to prevent breakouts & brighten marks left by past acne.

If you are nervous about buying the bigger products, you can start out with one of the starter kits-which I highly recommend! For almost everything I use, you can start with the Discovery Kit (an $86 value for $52) or if you are trying to prevent aging-which my mom was-try the Anti-Aging Kit ($121 value for $52). These are great for traveling as well! Instead of taking all my products, I just keep a Discovery Kit in my travel bag so it’s always ready to go!
