Morning Skincare Routine: Oily/Combo/Acne Prone Skin

Hello loves! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. Last week on TikTok I posted a video of my morning skincare routine, so I thought I would go into more detail here on the blog. In January I posted my nighttime skincare routine, but I haven’t shared what I do in the morning yet. In the morning I like to keep things light since most of the time I apply makeup afterwards. As I mentioned in my last skincare post, I I have oily/combo acne prone skin. I hope you enjoy my morning routine!

PS - now I have a Tula promo code for y’all! Use code THECHANCHIC at checkout for 15% off Tula products.

Cleanser

For my first step I use my tried and true Kate Somerville EradiKate Daily Foaming Cleanser. I’ve talked about this SO many times on the blog and Instagram, but it’s the best cleanser for acne prone skin that I have tried that isn’t a prescription from the dermatologist. I also found a promo code - save 30% with BUZZFAM30 at checkout. The active ingredient in this cleanser is sulfur, which my skin reacts really well to.

To make sure I’m thoroughly cleansing my skin, I use my Foreo Luna 2. This tool does a great job at deeply cleansing the skin; additionally, it helps to prevent signs of aging. Since it’s not a brush head, it’s more hygienic than other cleansing tools on the market.

Serum

After cleansing I apply the Tula Acne Clearing + Tone Correcting Gel all over the face. This gel is formulated with salicylic acid and treats current breakouts and acne scars while also preventing new ones. What I love about this product is how it can be applied all over the face (rather than a spot treatment) and works to smooth the entire face’s texture. P.S. the packaging has changed since I bought my last bottle so don’t worry - I linked the correct product.

Eye Cream

For my morning eye cream I have been using the Rodan + Fields Redfine Multi Function Eye Cream. I like this eye cream for the morning because it’s moisturizing, yet lightweight so it layers under makeup nicely. It’s important to keep the underage area moisturized to prevent early signs of aging.

Moisturizer

The last step in my morning skincare routine is moisturizer. In the morning I use another product that I’ve spoken about numerous times: the Tula Oil Free Gel Cream. This is the absolute best moisturizer for oily skin. It’s water based, lightweight, yet incredibly moisturizing. I don’t even know how many bottles of this product I’ve gone through - it’s THAT good.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know if you add any of these products to your one skincare routine.

Slap on some lipstick and smile
