One of my favorite places to shop for beauty products is Target. Every time I walk in looking for something specific, I walk out with hundreds of dollars worth of things I just couldn't leave without, and that is the beauty of Target.
When I used to get ready for the first day of class, I would be so excited for a fresh start and a new beginning. New teachers, new classes, making new friends. All so fun and exciting. One of the best things about getting up early to go to class, is to use a refreshing and awakening cleanser. What better cleanser to do this than the Clean and Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser. It helps to remove all the oil and dirt you may have produced overnight, and the bursting beads help to energize and wake your skin up. Because I have sensitive skin, I love that this is oil-free and hypoallergenic so I don't have to worry about clogged pores or additional breakouts (we all know the first day can be a bit stressful.)
Because it's so sunny where I live, I always opt for a moisturizer with SPF. It's just an absolute necessity so the Neutrogena® Oil-Free Moisturizer with SPF 15 is the one I tend to reach for. It's lightweight and I like how it's a bit tacky, but not overly sticky or watery. It clings to the skin quickly and works well under all the makeup I apply on a regular basis. This moisturizer is also fragrance free which is a big plus for me as I've gotten tired of mixing different fragrances on my face between the moisturizer, makeup and perfume. The last thing I'll say is that this moisturizer acts like a primer for my makeup because it smooths the skin down and creates an even surface for me to apply my makeup on.
At the end of a long day, there's no better feeling than getting to take off all the makeup and just enjoy the feeling of fresh skin. While I do have quite a skin care regimen every evening, one of my favorite things is using a makeup cleansing cloth to get that top layer of gunk off my face as soon as possible. I've discovered the Aveeno Ultra-Calming® Makeup Removing Wipes. Because these are ultra calming, you can imagine they're perfect for sensitive skin that turns red if I gently touch my face at all. When I use these wipes, my face does not turn a bright cherry red and it doesn't feel abrasive or harsh on my skin either. The formula these wipes are made with actually soothes irritation and redness, and these are truly the wipes I've needed for the past decade of my beauty life. Did I mention they remove all the mascara? You heard that right.
