Helloooo Sunnie! This is Sunnie as Madonna last year on Halloween. She is my high school buddy, freshman/sophomore college roomie, and lifelong skin adviser. Her skin is flawless. I’ve seen her sans makeup, and her skin is like a baby’s tush. I hate her!
I’ve never really followed any sort of skin care regimen aside from washing my face and applying moisturizer. As of late, it’s becoming apparent that I need some sort of skin intervention. The crows’ feet around the eyes, and happy wrinkles lining my mouth are becoming more evident. I’m more prone to breakouts. And it’s definitely not wedding related considering I haven’t done squat in the past month. My skin is dry and flaky… and the list goes on.
Sunnie wrote me an email this past week detailing her nightly de-facing steps, and I’ve decided to give it a shot, considering her routine is 6 more steps than what I normally do.
Her 70-year old Aunt has been following this routine for years and resultingly has wrinkle-free, flawless skin (much like Sunnie’s today). I still think her great skin is in the genes, so I’m a bit skeptical as to how effective this routine will be. But what the hey, there’s no harm in trying. 
And here it is. Sunnie’s nightly de-facing steps:
- Wash your face (duh). I’ve been using Cetaphil ever since I read about it on one of Bee’s posts months ago.
- In any empty creme container, mix massage/cold cream with Johnson’s baby oil with aloe vera & vitamin E in equal amounts. Having no idea what cold cream was, I headed to CVS and found Pond’s Cold Cream Cleanser. That should do.
- Massage mixture onto your face and neck
- Blot if off with a tissue
- Apply acne medicine (if applicable); she recommended the acne.org product (cheap and effective)
- Apply toner. I’ve been using Estee Lauder’s toner
- Apply eye cream. I have StriVectrin from my mom. I think it’s a sample.
- Lastly, moisturize. I’m using Estee Lauder’s Hydra Complete.
- Sometimes I apply pure vitamin E on any parts of my face I’ve infected with my dirty paws.
It’s only been 3 days, and aside from my skin feeling slightly softer, I haven’t noticed a visible difference. At the very least, her guidance on what products to apply first was very helpful. I always wondered what the proper ordering was… eye cream or moisturizer first? I’m curious to know if her ordering is in line with your routine.
So ladies… in what order do you apply your skin products?
