Happy Monday, y’all! I hope you had a great weekend and are gearing up for an amazing week! Last month, I chatted over on Instagram stories about wanting to create a better morning routine. As someone with a schedule that changes by the day, it has been so difficult to create a successful morning routine that I actually do daily. However, especially with lent approaching, I’m focused on creating better discipline in my life overall. One of the tips y’all suggested was to find something you enjoy doing and instead of completing it at night, do it in the morning. This way, you have something to look forward to. For me, I love all things skincare and facials and reading reviews, so adding a fun step to my morning skincare routine has helped so much.
Since I work from home most Mondays and Fridays, I decided to add brand new #BioreBlueAgave products to my morning routine and now is the thing I look forward to the most! Before I do anything in the morning, I have to brush my teeth and wash my face. Since I tend to sweat at night, an effective morning cleanser is extremely important to keep my skin clean and breakout free. On some days, I start my morning with blog photos and since I don’t want to mask right before putting on makeup, I will do this fun routine after my shoot to get my skin fresh for a day of working from home. I start with the new Bioré Blue Agave Baking Soda Balancing Pore Cleanser. The blue agave, known for soothing and nourishing + natural baking soda, known for deep cleaning is perfect for removing dirt, oil and junk from my pores. Since I have combination skin, combination products that address multiple skin concerns work best for me and have the most noticeable results. Plus, there are natural jojoba beads (my absolute fav) that help exfoliate my skin to leave it smooth and fresh. Just like any other face wash, I make sure to massage the product into my skin for at least 60 seconds. This amount of time also helps remove left over makeup from my face, especially mascara.
*Please note: Not for sensitive skin consumers or those with sensitives to menthol as it may cause short term flushing of the skin*
With my now cleansed and smooth skin, I grab the Bioré Blue Agave Baking Soda Whipped Nourishing Detox Mask to chill out my clogged pores with a little pore-tingly action. With damp skin, I apply the mask to my entire face then have about 3-5 minutes to chill out! If I’m having a slow morning, I’ll spend these couple minutes pouring my coffee and creamer, running my dog out and writing down my to-do list for the day. The same way I try to race my microwave to get things done, I use this time to challenge myself to get simple tasks done so I can get to work when the time is up. Especially after shoots, this 10 minutes of skin care focus is so important for a relaxing start to my home office work day. After those 3-5 minutes, I want to make sure I get the product completely off my skin. Since this is a deep cleaning product, I don’t want any left over lingering on my skin before I put on my daytime moisturizer and eye cream.
There’s tons of reason why I love Bioré but one of the main reasons is that Bioré Blue Agave + Baking Soda products actually pay attention to your pores. If you guys remember, a few weeks ago I posted about my favorite face washes and the Bioré baking soda foaming acne cleanser was my top/everyday favorite. This is why I keep coming back to Bioré over and over and over again. Now with Blue Agave, Bioré has catered their baking soda products to people with combination skin like myself. These two products, Bioré Blue Agave Baking Soda Whipped Nourishing Detox Mask and Balancing Pore Cleanser, lead the way in deep cleaning, exfoliating, and conditioning my pores for refreshed & nourished skin. The products blue me away and I’m so excited for y’all to try! You can grab each under $10 at your local Walmart, Ulta, Amazon or Target 🙂
What do you guys look forward to the most in the morning? I would love to know! If you haven’t tried these beauty products yet, grab them today and let me know what you think! Thanks so much for reading -xo, Azanique <3
