MY MORNING SKIN CARE ROUTINE!

July 29, 2019

Throughout every season change, every temperature rise and fall, there are some staple products that will always remain. I’ll swap out a few products depending on my skin’s dryness level and if it’s prone to breakouts during that time but usually – this is the deal.

Listing out step by step, product by product, my current morning skincare routine. PS don’t be intimidated, it only takes a few minutes PLUS there’s two things here that aren’t technically ‘skincare’ products but I can’t. live. without. them.


1. Cleanse! so so so important. Cleansed skin, closed pores, and ready for your skincare and makeup routines. Milled finely enough I can use it daily, it’s ultra gentle and I alternate between this product and that Tatcha

2. Exfoliate! This is a big one! The most important one if you ask me. No matter your skin type, exfoliating will help to slough off the dead surface skin, promote collagen production, and remove dirt and impurities. You want all those good oils to be produced, even for already oily skin so DON’T skip this step. I can feel this Tatcha enzyme powder working immediately and am currently obsessed with this particular physical form of exfoliation

3. Tone and Hydrate! the Hydrating Essence Toner by Algenist is my FAVORITE and then I personally alternate between A) Vitamin C, which is incredible for your skin; it neutralizes free radicals, prompts collagen production, it’s light, and it absorbs quickly! And B) Hyaluronic Acid serum- which is already a naturally occurring compound found in our skin and it will take your face to a whole other ‘dew level’ babes!

4. Protect! I like to use this Purlisse cream to seal the deal and my Coola SPF or Fre SPF (depending on my type of day), which doesn’t feel to heavy on my skin. This may be too thick for your skin type but the Coola and Fre on their own are pretty light and they’re non irritating. ***remember that the UV radiation from the sun is the #1 contributing factor to aging and skincare problems so protect your skin and your eyes

5. It’s all about the eyes! Speaking of your eyes, my second biggest tip is to NEVER EVER rub or pull on your eye area. Pat gently with your ring fingers, in towards your nose. Pat pat pat! The skin around our eyes is the thinnest of our entire face, hence we age there the quickest! I personally like to just use my moisturizer around my eye area but if you’re going to use a specific eye cream, this is a natural one with light reflecting elements, it’s creamy and ultra rich

6. Don’t forget your décolletage! Just like with your makeup, bring your skincare products down your neck and onto your décolletage…that fancy word for cleavage. I absolutely love this advanced neck cream from Tula, it’s rich without being greasy, and it glides on and stays put. My other go-to neck cream is from Bare Minerals, it’s just so good- I’m on my 2nd tub

7. Beauty from the inside out! You’ve heard me talk about collagen like I talk about chocolate. I love it! I love these marine collagen sachets from Proplenish! I add it to a cup of warm water and lemon in the morning and if I add collagen to my coffee Vital Proteins IS THE WAY TO GO. I love the unflavored one, but the Matcha with some coconut milk …. O M G <3

8. My most favorite part y’all, the invisible accessory! If you know me than you know I’m all about scents….like to an obsession. I mean, the measures I take to tote around about 5 different perfumes with me AT ALL TIMES, yikes. PS I must really love you to share one of my signature scents with you. My other go-to is Le Labo’s Santal 33 or Another 13. They’re so expensive though that my daily is this yummy Givenchy

9. and 10. aren’t pictured, but exfoliating and hydrating my lips is something I do at least twice a week. And then I apply this nice thick and creamy lip balm by Laneige which feels luxurious af

And there you have it! My morning skincare routine … and some essentials in my morning that aren’t necessarily ‘skincare’ products but they ARE ‘can’t live withouts’.

Does this sound pretty standard to your morning skincare routine? Does it sound like too many steps? What’s the ONE thing you must do before you rush out the door? Please say SPF 😉

Welcome! I’m Jess, I was a teen mom turned full-time lifestyle blogger and content creator. I started this blog about 8 years ago because I love sharing my life with you. Today, my daughter Corrine and I travel around sharing our foodie adventures and style selects. I talk about my mom life, the realness of relationships, the reality of having a 23 year old daughter (hey empty nest syndrome), and my work as a wellness Coach. We’ll cook together, cry together and sweat together. I’ll be your dessert enabler and fellow skincare addict. Let’s eat the good stuff and push through the rough stuff. Love, Mama Lizama <3

Monday mood: noods. This is me today sans noodles. Monday mood: noods. This is me today sans noodles. And makeup. And ringlight. I’m basically a foot right now

So being productive on a day where I’d rather be a potato requires me to negotiate with myself. Up on my blog now {linked in my bio} are the three things that clutter my day and how I tackle them like a pro line backer

“Complexity is the enemy of execution” - Tony Robbins. Isn’t that the truth! Check it out and let me know what time management tools you use, share with me and let’s all be potatoes together. Productive potatoes <3

So angsty... sharing what my past relationships ha So angsty... sharing what my past relationships have taught me over on my blog. Sucksville SUCKS I know. 🎶When your heart just shatters, too many pieces to pick it up, smiling through the pain…

“Don't give up on love when it doesn't work out the first time
Close your eyes and trust that you gotta get low to get high
The world's full of second chances, you gotta keep on dancing”

Don’t give up on anything for that matter. Traveling through Sucksville sucks but you've gotta put one foot in front of the other, walk (or sprint) through it, feel it, heal it, and learn from it. Love, me - the girl who’s been married twice and some how kept truckin’ right along long enough to share my deep thoughts with you. Did I leave anything out? {linked in my bio} ❤️

P.S. no I’m not single again, this is a rough season for some and I’m just sharing my two cents xx

I think if we can share more about what makes us up as a real human bean- what makes us tick, the deep traumas and our life wins... that we can all be more empathetic to one another. Are you out there? Yes I said human bean

Proud girlfriend moment over here! @thezoereport n Proud girlfriend moment over here! @thezoereport named @laceystonefitness’s Zoom classes as one of the top 7 best virtual workout finds of 2020 and I’m so proud to be a part of Lacey’s legacy and this squad and among all of these other incredible instructors like @toneitup @bodybysimone @ashleybordenfitness @allymisslove with @onepeloton to name a few!

If you haven’t tried our virtual full-body bootcamp yet, we got you! We teach every Tuesday at 8 a.m., Friday at 8 a.m. and Saturday at 8:30 a.m. PST! Registration for next week's classes is in my bio link and if you DM now, 3 lucky winners will get 1 FREE Zoom class on us! (Can't make it live? That's okay! You can register and get the playback link later. We’ve got you covered Zoom parenting!)

2020 brought many things but a bright spot for me was waking up each day to Lacey and watching you all enter the Zoom room as we made LSF headquarters the place to be! The at-home gym that we thought would only last a few classes turned into 135 Zoom boom booms with YOU. Thank you for trusting us with your head, heart, and physical wellness and thank you @thezoereport for the inclusion <3

Silver linings. 2020 was all about being present f Silver linings. 2020 was all about being present for me because all we had was time. I learned to truly appreciate my relationships with people, that health is wealth, and that above all- love wins

@laceystonefitness you are my heart. You held my head up and my hand tightly and I don’t even know what 2020 would’ve been like without you in it. Thank you for saying “let’s see what happens when you go for it”. You’ve kept my heart beating... you are my bright spot and twin flame. I love you more than can be expressed. We are going for it and I’m honored to call you mine

@linzdefranco thank you for opening your guest house for us... it was exactly what we needed to transition into our new life. We appreciate you and Phil more than you know. @hurricanekristin your home was the calm we didn’t even know we needed to prepare for our move after packing up our lives into boxes and I’m forever grateful for you and your generosity. My sisters
