My Paula’s Choice Skin Care Routine

You know your friends that can go to bed without washing their face, or have used bar soap their whole life without moisturizer and their skin looks flawless and 10 years younger than they really are? Yeah, not me. If I treated my skin that way, it would end up breaking out and also flaking off at the same time! While I do not have ‘breakouts’ per say I do have large pores and oily skin. (In the winter I do tend to get dry around my mouth and eyebrow area.)

I have heard endless of great things about Paula’s Choice Skin Care, so when they offered me a complimentary consultation and to recommend the perfect products for my skin I was all in! A custom skin care line without having to go to the dermatologist? Absolutely!! 

Paula’s Choice is committed to customer advocacy, education and helping people find the best products for their skin. In fact, everyone can receive a FREE personal skincare consultation by calling this number: 1-800-831-4088

So to give you all a brief summary of my consolation and my skin types it goes a bit like this – Oily but no break outs. Large pores. Want to prevent deep lines and wrinkles. Not too complicated right? Well – apparently more complicated than I thought because for a while now I haven’t had a full routine with a product for every single one of my needs.

So, to get into my skincare regimen – step one is the Skin Balancing Oil-Reducing Cleanser.  I absolutely love this stuff! It is a clear gel that easily begins foaming as you mix with water and rub it on your face, also I love that it has no scent. It is mild enough to use on my eye makeup without any burning but is also extremely effective enough to break through my face make up and get my face clean while keeping my skin calm. I can’t stand when I go to dry my face and makeup wipes off on my towels due to the cleanser not working well enough! It is great for normal to oily skin and enlarged pores.

Step two is the Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid.  This exfoliant leaves my face feeling cool, refreshed and the green tea in it also keeps my skin calm. I love that not only does this product unclog and diminish pores, it also is anti-aging, reduces redness and helps prevent wrinkles. It has dramatically improved my skins texture, leaving it looking more even and bright.

My final step is moisturizers and I actually have a day time and a night time one. My day time moisturizer of course contains SPF. I use the Skin-Balancing Ultra Sheer Daily Defense with SPF 30. I love this moisturizer because it is super lightweight and moisturizes my dryness around my mouth and eyes while still being oil free and protecting my skin from the sun. Antioxidants & cell-communicating ingredients make skin look & act younger and dries with a matte finish. My nighttime moisturizer feels so so good as it is a cool gel that also dries matte. I use the Skin Balancing Gel Moisturizer. It works on enlarged pores, is great for normal to oily skin and provides antioxidants & anti-irritants for younger-looking skin.

A lot of information I know but trust me. If your skin is anything like mine you really need to try out this regimen. My skin is looking and feeling great even without makeup! My photos in this post are un-edited so you can see my skin and how it looks without airbrushing, filters and makeup. My skin has evened out so much, scars around my jaw from teenage ache are fading and my pores are half the size they used to be. I know there are so many great products out there but just know these are tried and tested (and I try out a LOT of products) and I give them a solid A+.  They offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee (within 60 days), no animal testing and no irritating dyes or fragrances. Their product line includes something for everyone, acne, rosacea, aging, pores. They treat it all.  On their website, you can choose from a menu of skincare concerns you’d like to treat.
