My sweet coworkers and I had a lovely dinner last night for my last day at our office.

After a night out, I always feel like I need a skin refresh. I make sure to remove my makeup the night before but there’s something about a deep cleanse and mask that feels necessary the next day. Listed below is what I did for today. It changes depending on the season, what I have available and what I feel my skin needs. For reference I have combination sensitive skin. Follow along for a refreshing mini skin reset with me!

Cleanse

Today I used Dr. Dennis Gross AHA/BHA Daily cleanser mixed with Green Envee Illuminating Powder cleanser for a gentle yet very effective cleansing and exfoliating. My skin was so soft after just the first step! Make sure to really take your time when cleansing. I use soft circular upward motions for at least 2 full mins avoiding the eye area with these.

Exfoliate

I used Green Envee Pumpkin Peel 3% today for a gentle brightening and softening treatment. I applied a thin layer and let it sit for 10 mins. These “peels” do not actually make you peel, they are just a glycolic and enzyme mix that digest dead skin and soften the glue that holds the dead skin to the surface. They are very tingly for the first minute or two and then settle down to nothing.

Masks

I'm a big fan of multi-masking as I have combination skin so I used Green Envee Potent C mask on the cheeks to nourish and hydrate and Kinship Mint Mud Mask on the T-Zone to help detoxify and absorb excess sebum. I applied Starlit Kitten Hydrogel Eye Patches as well though truthfully, I didn’t love the shape of these and they didnt feel like they had very much serum on them but I got them for free so I won’t complain too much!

Serums

After all of that my skin was ready for replenishment. I used Green Envee Glow C+ Serum which I ADORE and is the only Vit C serum I have ever been able to use without getting a reaction! It’s also at a 20% which is crazy. I'm obsessed. Next I layered Green Envee H.A. Collagen Boosting serum which feels like a huge drink of water for the skin. It’s thin gel like texture feels so good and even better when applied to damp skin misted with Green Envee Hydrating Mist. Literally the perfect combo. Chefs Kiss*

Moisturizer and eye cream

To seal all that lovely hydration and antioxidants into the skin I applied Green Envee Protect Antioxidant moisturizer which is a beautiful mid weight moisturizer that is packed full of phytonutrients and antioxidants that help to hydrate and rejuvenate without any heaviness. For a combo skin girl like me it’s perfect. Then I did a nice layer of Skin Medica TNS Eye Repair all around the eyes to hydrate and brighten that delicate skin. For the lips I used the one and only Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask which is THE BEST. I use it at home and in the treatment room as it is the most hydrating beautiful balmy texture and leaves the lips hydrated for hours!

And that is it for my mini facial reset! If I had a little more energy, a nice Gua Sha session or massage would be so nice but your girl is tired from the night out and just wants to eat a delicious meal and chill!
