A few years back I decided to stop wearing foundation and start working on bettering my skin instead. My goal was to better my skin and not have to hide it. I finally mastered a skincare routine I love, with products that are very specific to each need and, brands I adore.
Here's my MORNING skincare routine
If I love more than one product I will give you the two options, I alternate sometimes.

Daily Microfilant by Dermalogica A game changer on my skin, I have never felt my skin smoother! It gently exfoliates getting rid of dead-cells and instantly leaving skin smoother and brighter.

8. LAST STEP to look more done up for the day with no makeup. This is game changer!
a) The Tula Face Filter is incredible, it's the last step of the morning skincare routine, it releases "glow particles" that create a warm-toned, radiant base for makeup OR to wear as is, for a natural (yet unified skin tone) instantly reducing the appearance of redness and provides a more even-looking skin tone for a “filter-like” finish. Also adds an extra layer of hydration & glow from within to your makeup routine. PERFECTION. Code LAURAGIMBERT gives you 15% their whole store.
b) Tula Rose Glow and Get it Our best-selling, hyaluronic acid eye balm, now with even more glow-enhancing ingredients. Instantly hydrates, cools & helps reduce the look of fine lines & wrinkles around the eyes.

If you want to boost up your daily skincare routine, and for your products to work better, I love these two tools:
- Facial Steamer by Vanity Planet (do it after you cleanse, for a few minutes). Detoxify and cleanse your face like the professionals, no matter your skin type, with Aira, the facial steamer designed to clear pores and stimulate circulation. With your pores clear, you'll be more receptive to your other skincare products and treatments, making their effects even more potent and beneficial. Code LAURAGIMBERT will get you +50% off the whole site!
- The Ultimate Skin Spa use it with your cleanser, to get in deeper in your pores and clean them better, as well as allow the products to preform at its best in the next steps. Leaving nothing but smooth, soft, glowing skin behind. This dual-speed handheld spin brush works with your favorite cleanser and one of three interchangeable brush heads to customize the perfect routine for your skin type. Code LAURAGIMBERT will get you +50% off the whole site!
PS: this routine is meant to be indoors. If you plan to be outdoors, skip the oil & moisturizer and use an SPF sunscreen instead.
For nighttime, which is slightly different (not all products, but some) check this routine!
