Bright and Early ♥☼ Updated (Winter) Morning Skin CareRoutine

Hey guys! So here is my updated skin-care routine for the morning!

CLEANSER
The cleanser I use in the morning is Burt's Bees Soap Bark and Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream. It is super creamy, and doesn't foam up (which I like). It smells very lemony and has a menthol-ish type feel to it because it makes your face tingle, which is a nice pick-me-up in the morning.

TONER

 To tone my face is use Witch Hazel with lavender to keep redness and irritation at bay. I keep it in a spray bottle and spritz 2 or 3 sprays onto my face and allow it to dry before putting on my moisturizer, etc. The spray bottle is super conveniant and I feel like I'm not wasting any product because it isn't getting absorbed into a cotton pad.

MOISTURIZER
 

This is an all-natural product with an all natural zinc sunscreen, which is nice because I don't have to worry about any sketchy chemicals in the product and still know it's getting the job done. The only problem I have with this product is that it is a bit tacky after it dries (but this doesn't matter once makeup is on), which I think is due to the aloe vera. In the grand scheme of things though, a little stickiness is not a big deal when a products works for my skin.

TREATMENT/MASK

 
  I use raw honey interchangeably between morning and night, everyday. I apply it all over my face and let it sit for anywhere between 10-60 minutes, depending on how much time I have. I do this step right after cleansing, before putting on my toner. If I don't have time in the morning, I will do this step at night.

So, that is my winter skin-care routine for the mornings. It is fairly quick, and uses natural products with simple ingredients.
