So many things change with the seasons. Clothing, schedules and of course, skincare! I always switch up my routine and the products I use depending on the time of year. The skin reacts differently throughout the year, so a skincare routine that works in summer can easily lead to dryness, congestion, or irritation in winter. You don't necessarily have to switch out every product for something new but there are a few important changes that should be made. Today's post is going to be a roundup of practical tips on how to adapt your routine season by season. 5 Seasonal

I wear sunscreen every single day whether it's sunny outside or not. It's a skincare non-negotiable for me. Finding complexion products for mature skin can be challenging because not all formulas are compatible with mature skin because of it's texture, dryness or dullness. Recently I have been testing out a handful of different tinted sunscreens to wear as my everyday foundation or complexion product and found some great formulas that would be beautiful for mature skin. Even though these tinted sunscreens provide adequate and substantial sun protection on their own, I usually still layer my daily sunscreen underneath for added

Dead skin buildup happens more frequently as we age so it's necessary to ensure you are exfoliating regularly. If you face looks dull, rough, or uneven, it could be from the presence of dead skin cells. Excess buildup of them can often prevent skincare products from working effectively, as well as clogged pores and texture issues.

I've been a fan of wide-leg pants especially wide leg jeans for more than a decade. I've experimented with very denim styles over the years but have always kept a few pairs of wide leg jeans to style from time to time. Now they have become a wardrobe staple and the denim shape that I reach for the most. I prefer a mix between a wide leg and straight leg jean so they aren't too voluminous but not too slim. And I have various lengths that I love from cropped to ones that go straight to the floor. Wide leg

I published this blog post more than a year ago so I wanted to update it with my current favorites. Though I've been a makeup lover and wearer for more than 20 years, face powder have never been a huge presence in my everyday makeup routine. I have powders that I use and wear but nothing ever wowed me enough to truly become a staple everyday. Most powders would make me look too flat, too dry and I ultimately would stop reaching for them over time. Over the past few years, the formulation of pressed and some loose powders has

I have way too many lip products so if I constantly reach for the same ones over and over again, I know they are truly amazing. My preferences in lip formulas have changed significantly over the past 5 years. I still love glosses and products with a shiny finish but they have to stay put without bleeding. And if the formula isn't glossy, it needs to have slight blurring properties to make the lips look smoother. Finally, I NEVER wore lip liner in my 20's and 30's but now I can't be without it. Thankfully I have found lip liner

Skin cycling is something I've been doing for yearssssss without even knowing what it was called. When a name was finally given to the process of using certain products on certain nights, I was glad that this concept was clearly identified so more people can benefit from it. It gained popularity when board certified dermatologist, Dr. Whitney Bowe gave it the name "skin cycling". It's an effective skincare approach for improving results while minimizing irritation. This method rotates between exfoliation, treatment, and recovery days to support the skin barrier which allows you to keep your skin well balanced while still
