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

Love is love and here’s my story about Nashville Love is love and here’s my story about Nashville bc now is not the time to be silent and representation is everything

We celebrated Thanksgiving early so that @laceystonefitness and I could be in TN and in WI this week for a win win holiday situation. So here I was bringing my love Lacey home and while almost all of my family members were so incredibly warm and welcoming and loving (duh, plus they’re the only ones who actually matter) others refused to bring their children to our dinner and almost didn’t show up themselves bc, I dunno, they think being gay is contagious? Or perhaps they just wanted to ensure we weren’t being too “gay” in front them? Whatever that means… Whatever their reasons, it’s infuriating and disrespectful. It’s hurtful and absolutely absurd. Bigotry. They’ll blame their religion, I blame their ignorance. Fear keeps them in the hate. 

My heart is heavy these days. The mass shooting at the LGBTQ club in Colorado was senseless. And are you paying attention to what’s happening in Iran? In the world? Please help me understand bc I feel hopeless.

What keeps me hopeful today and every day are the bright spots in the day. Lacey, Corriney, Quinny, my family, my friends, and you. This holiday season I am thankful for YOU reading this and for my nearest and dearest. Let’s spread more love in the world 

Love keeps you in the light. Let’s fight for the light. And for one another. #loveislove and I’ll fight for that with everything I am

My baby girl is 25 today. I cannot even comprehend My baby girl is 25 today. I cannot even comprehend time, what am I, 98?!

Corrine, I’m honored to be your mama. You’re my greatest accomplishment in life bc you are thriving and you are strong, resilient, funny, ambitious, successful, hilarious, empathetic, beautiful inside and out, and I would like to think I had something to do with that… Even though I had no idea what the hell I was doing, you took my hand (with your cutest lil baby hands) and trusted I’d get us through life and here we are still kickin’

I love you and I cannot wait to squeeze you this weekend and celebrate you and shower you with all the love I have. Happy birthday baby girl ❤️❤️❤️

PS she still takes all my money and refers to it as “petty cash” 🫠

Swipe through for a flash back from today on through when it all started back in 1997

Now Wisconsin’s just showing off. Fall here is m Now Wisconsin’s just showing off. Fall here is magical and we had a wholesome af time with our girl @katierinkamkerealtor at the pumpkin patch and then @laceystonefitness carved Hank + Frank and we dropped them off at the town’s Halloween square where everyone contributes their works of art to the event and we visited them and listened to live music and apparently we’re beer lovers now and also @jess_lizama has acclimated bc it was in the 40’s and we were just all willy nilly boppin’ around the grounds in a single layer singing Hokey Pokey with the cutie goblins running around 

No punctuation needed bc if you were here that’s how we’d tell it 😆🎃🥳

I love you my Corriney

Yes I’ve totally made this about me bc Aries mama, but if I’ve done anything worth anything in this life, single momming it and raising you to be a wonderful human who is straight handling business and THRIVING on your own… Well I can retire from human-ing now *takes a curtsy but like, makes it cute* You are my heart. And also my carbon copy ❤️

PS can we just take a moment to celebrate these tiny baby hands! And also how your littles can be so entertained by a simple cardboard box or empty laundry basket… I’m not crying you’re crying
