Quigs here!

Listen, I’ve tried to be a morning person, and it’s hard – like REALLY hard. In the new year, I’m focusing on reinventing my morning routine (detailed in my most recent Instagram) and completing my a.m. skincare routine every day. Today, I want to share with you my beauty faves that make me feel bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

1. Cleansers

To start off every morning, I swipe cleansing pads across my face and neck to perk up my sleepy skin. My hands always reach for First Aid Beauty’s Acne-Clearing Pads or This Works’ Morning Expert Multi-Acid Pads. They both help fight potential breakouts, leaving my skin smooth and acne-free.

2. Serums

Serums are the secret weapon in any successful skincare routine. I’ve always been a fan of them, especially using them in the morning. Both This Works’ Morning Expert Hyaluronic Serum and Farmacy’s Very Cherry Bright Serum are packed with Vitamin C, helping to brighten and refresh my skin. A recently found gem is the Dermalogica’s Biolumin-C Eye Serum, which I talked all about in this Instagram post.

3. Moisturizers

My best advice is to hydrate! With the colder months of winter, my skin can get seriously dry. First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Repair Cream moisturizes my face without feeling too heavy or greasy. I also grab Image Skincare’s Balancing Lip Enhancement Complex to keep my lips plump and kissable.
