The Skincare Routine That Has Changed My Skin!
So first of all, let’s check out these before photos:
As you can see, my skin was somewhat bumpy, dry, flaky, and I was experiencing a mild breakout on my cheeks and chin. It wasn’t terrible, but it did feel pretty uncomfortable and I felt like I was always dealing with multiple blemishes as well as random dry patches and redness.Here is my skin now!
Now, my skin is much smoother, less bumpy, and I don’t have as much redness overall. It’s no longer dry or uncomfortable, and I am pretty much blemish-free.

So… What have I changed in my skincare routine?
I’ve added 3 new Dr. Belmeur products into my skincare line. Years ago, I tried out the Dr. Belmeur Daily Repair Skincare Collection and I loved that line as well (I swear, Dr. Belmeur just has great products!) and so when the Nature Collection team reached out for my to try these new products out I was really excited. First of all, I love mists. Second, I love Dr. Belmeur’s moisturizers. And third, I have been on the hunt for a super gentle exfoliant like the Dr.Belmeur Vita Serine Tone Smoothing Serum for a while.
Let’s Talk About the New Additions to My Skincare Routine!
Dr. Belmeur Vita Serine Tone Smoothing Serum
The Dr.Belmeur Vita Serine Tone Smoothing Serum is an exfoliating serum that aims to brighten up dull-looking skin while also hydrating it so that your skin will have a smoother and healthier appearance. This serum is made with an amino acid known as “serine” which is derived from vitamin C and is known to moisturize the skin while also improving the texture of the skin. In addition, this serum has hyaluronic acid which also helps your skin achieve a more plump and youthful appearance. This serum has a very light citrus scent which disappears as it’s blended into the skin.

Dr.Belmeur Advanced Cica Hydro Cream
The next product I’ve added into my routine is the Dr.Belmeur Advanced Cica Hydro Cream! This cream is a very gentle moisturizer which is great for sensitive skin types. It aims to soothe sensitive skin and moisturize it so that you can be free of the discomfort of dry irritated skin. The moisturizer itself is a gel-cream formula that makes it really lightweight yet moisturizing on the skin. Its light citrus scent is bright and refreshing without being overpowering.

Dr.Belmeur Cica Peptite Intense Mist
The final new product in my skincare routine is the Dr.Belmeur Cica Peptite Intense Mist. This mist is so beautifully fine that it really is just like a soft veil when its sprayed over the face. It’s light and refreshing and super soothing on dry skin. While I tend to use this product mainly in the morning, you can really use it whenever – during your morning or evening skincare routine, or simply for a midday refresh.Dr.Belmeur Cica Peptite Intense Mist Ingredients:

My Skincare Routine: The Best Skincare Routine for Your Late 20s
Now that we’ve talked about the products a bit, let’s get into my actual skincare routine – start to finish! My skincare routine is really all about targetting those pesky signs of aging while also balancing some of the newer challenges (ugh, blemishes) that my skin has experienced over the last year. While I’m not really someone who is scared of getting older or having wrinkles (in fact, I think some wrinkles are really beautiful – like the smile lines around peoples eyes), I do want to ensure that I age gracefully and that I care for my skin in all ways possible – from removing dirt, grime, and makeup, to using products that target unwanted fine lines and wrinkles, and also protecting my skin against harmful outside influences like pollution and the sun.

My Morning Skincare Routine:
Cleanser: Vichy Normaderm Anti-acne Purifying Gel Cleanser
My first step in my morning skincare routine is a cleanser. For years now I’ve been using the Vichy Normaderm Cleanser and I’ve always loved it as the first step to my skincare routine. The formula includes Salicylic Acid which is a great ingredient for preventing acne. While it targets acne, breakouts, and pores it also helps with dry skin which is really unique. Most acne-fighting products out there strip the skin down which makes it dry, but the Vichy Normaderm Anti-acne Purifying Gel Cleanser somehow manages to strike a balance between fighting acne and maintaining healthy moisturized skin.Toner: FRESH Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Toner
Next, I like to use a toner. For the last few months, I’ve been using the FRESH Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Toner and I’ve really been liking how it makes my skin look and feel. The FRESH Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Toner is great for all skin types and because it has hyaluronic in it, it’s a great choice for those looking for a product that will instantly give their skin a more plump and hydrated look. I really love how my skin looks super soft and moisturized right after using this toner.Moisturizer: Dr.Belmeur Advanced Cica Hydro Cream
To make sure my skin is nice and moisturized for the day, I like to then go in with the Dr.Belmeur Advanced Cica Hydro Cream. I cannot say it enough, I ADORE this moisturizer. It’s light, moisturizing, and instantly makes my skin look so glowy and healthy. I really can’t get enough of it. While I find some moisturizers too heavy to use in the morning (because I feel like they make my skin feel too heavy/tacky), this moisturizer seems to deeply moisturize my skin without leaving any sticky residue. It’s light gel-like formula has a lovely cooling sensation and light citrus smell when first applied.Mist: Dr.Belmeur Cica Peptite Intense Mist
Next, I like to go in with a refreshing morning mist. The Dr.Belmeur Cica Peptite Intense Mist is such a beautiful mist and I absolutely love using it each and every day. The Dr.Belmeur Cica Peptite Intense Mist is super fin and delicate which makes it a great mist to apply both before and even after you apply your makeup as it won’t cause droplets to ruin your makeup. Since my skin is somewhat combination now but with a tendency to be drier, I like the Dr.Belmeur Cica Peptite Intense Mist as a final step to ensuring my skin is moisturized and prepped for the day ahead.Eye Cream: FARMACY Cheer Up Brightening Vitamin C Eye Cream with Acerola Cherry
After moisturizing, I like to go in with an eye cream. When I was younger, I never used to apply eye creams in the morning and now I can’t imagine my routine without this step. The FARMACY Cheer Up Brightening Vitamin C Eye Cream with Acerola Cherry targets fine lines, dryness, and dark circles and I really do find that it helps make my eyes look instantly brighter and smoother. It has a really nice slip to it as well so when you’re applying it you won’t find yourself pulling at the skin on your eye to blend the product in. Like the Dr.Belmeur Advanced Cica Hydro Cream, this eye cream has a gel-like cream texture to it which makes it really light and yet super moisturizing.SPF: Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50
The final step in my skincare routine is SPF. One super important step a lot of people neglect in the morning skincare routines is suncare. I always like to finish my skincare routine by applying a great sunscreen and for the last while I’ve been using the Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50. The Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 has a slight tint to it which I really like. On days when I forgo makeup, I like that this just gives a slight blurring effect to the skin while also protecting it from the sun’s harmful rays.
You sound very educated on skin care and it’s very encouraging to see someone young taking care of their skin this way! The only thing I would mention is that vitamin C can be very sensitive to light. So I would leave it out of the morning routine, and go with something more photostable. The sunscreen step is pertinent and I’m also glad to see you doing that and advocating for it! It’s going to be the main ‘anti ager’ ingredient in all of this!
