Happy Monday y’all! One of my favorite things to do is try beauty products and I absolutely love getting my hands on anything new. I’m such a skincare aficionado and love sharing everything with y’all!
Recently, I’ve been getting questions pertaining to my actual skincare routine, and that right there kind of tripped me up. I finally realized that my skincare routine isn’t exactly the same every single day, but that it’s always changing based on what’s coming out and what people suggest/the internet influences.
Today I wanted to round up in detail all of the skincare items I use weekly and what I use them for. Let me know if you have any questions about specific products, happy to help! You can SHOP each item directly by hovering over the product name for the link, or by clicking in the widget below! Have a great day and thanks for reading!
My Current Quarantine Skincare Routine:
Morning:
Tone with Thayers Witch Hazel Toner. My skin is clean in the morning these days so I’ve been going without cleansing completely.
Apply Cle De Peau Beauté Essential Refining Essence so my products seep into my skin.
Apply Skin Ceuticals CE Ferulic and let dry.
Finish with Tatcha The Stick Serum and Tatcha Eye Creme.
Roll with an Amazon Ice Roller once I get downstairs to de-puff.
Evening:
Cleanse with TULA’s Cult Cleanser (15% off with KAYLEIGHSKLOSET).
Tone with Pixi Glow Tonic or ARCONA Triad Pads.
Apply Cle De Peau Beauté Essential Refining Essence so my products seep into my skin.
Drunk Elephant Glycolic Serum that’s a nightly treatment (I use every night pending how often I’ll be in the sun). Roll into face with my Kitsch Micro Derma Roller.
Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules for an easy application retinol that doesn’t make me drastically peel.
Tatcha Dewy Skin Creme or Laneige Lavender Sleep Mask to moisturize.
Kate Somerville Retinol Firming Eye Cream before calling it a night!
An All-Encompassing List of Every Item I Use, How Often, etc.:
Products I Love for Daily Use:
Tools: A key factor in figuring out your skincare routine is first figuring out tools that work for, well, your skin. For instance, I’ve been using a Clarasonic since high school and can thank my clearer complexion to the device. As I’ve gotten older and acne has become less of a main focus, I’ve switched to items that help depuff, enhance serums, and so forth.
–Clarasonic Mia
–Kitsch Micro Derma Roller
–Amazon Ice Roller
–Gua Sha
Pre-Cleansers: One days where I shoot blog pictures or wear a good amount of makeup, I’ll need to pre-cleanse prior to washing my face. These are essentially good-for-you makeup removers that have better ingredients to work for your skin.
–Tatcha Camellia Oil Cleanser
–Dermalogica Pre-Cleanse Cleansing Oil
Cleansers: The type of cleanser I use definitely depends on what level of breakouts I’m experiencing. I’ll typically stick to TULA for a first-round-cleanse and follow with either another cleanser to help clear breakouts or move on with my routine.
–TULA Cult Cleanser (15% off with code KAYLEIGHSKLOSET)
–Obagi Foaming Cleanser
–Dermalogica Clear Start Cleanser
–SkinCeuticals Glycolic Renewal Cleanser
Essence/Toners: A key element of your skincare routine that really helps your products penetrate the skin and do their best work. If I skip anything from my routine it’s DEFINITELY never this step!
–Cle de Peau Beaute Essential Refining Essence
–Tatcha The Essence Plumping Skin Toner
–Thayer Witch Hazel Toner
–Pixi Beauty Glow Tonic
–Arcona Triad Toner Pads
Moisturizers: This is where it gets tricky because I seriously use SO many different moisturizers based off of time of year and how my skin is doing. While I do have my favorites, this is a product I’ll probably always switch up!
–TULA 24/7 Moisturizer (15% off with code KAYLEIGHSKLOSET)
–Tatcha The Dewy Skin Creme
–Drunk Elephant F-Balm
–Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Moisturizer with Ceramides
–Laneige Water Sleeping Lavender Mask

Treatments & Serums: The important stuff that’s really played a part in making my skin glowy and fresh. I can genuinely see a difference when I don’t use these the next morning!
