I’ve always have struggled with my oily skin.

 While I’ve never really had large bouts of acne, I have wished that my skin was smoother and brighter. When I finally asked a dermatologist why my complexion was so dull, they recommended I use a serum to help exfoliate and expose fresher and newer skin. So when my friends over at Elan Rose sent me their new Wake Up Beautiful Wrinkle Reducing Serum I was so excited to share my routine and results!

Before I sleep, I make sure to wash all my makeup off with a gentle oil-free makeup remover. After blotting my face dry with a towel, I place a light, even coat of vitamin b3 serum. Then I finish off my night skin routine with an under eye cream and voila! After about 3 days, the product exposed brighter skin and smaller pores. All the products at Elan Rose are dermatologist tested and were extremely gentle – which I loved!

In the morning to protect my newly exfoliated skin, I use the Elan Rose Hello Sunshine spf 30 day cream underneath my makeup. Taking care of your skin is so important and can be improved by using the right products!

Oh! And these pajamas are so comfortable and are the perfect little Christmas gift for a girlfriend or sister! Pajamas are a staple that tend to be neglected but I always get the best nights sleep if I’m in a pair of cozy pjs. I’ve also listed a couple of other options below to fit all styles.

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Can you tell how much Rooney loves whipped cream? <3
