I get asked A LOT about my skincare routine and I know I've shared it before, but I've also mentioned that I'm constantly testing out and trying new products. Beauty products and skincare products are fascinating to me, especially when it comes to face moisturizers! I'm super picky when it comes to choosing the right moisturizer that is hydrating, lightweight, long-lasting, non-greasy (also non-sticky and non-shiny) and is formulated with natural, healthy ingredients that isn't super expensive. There are SO many moisturizers out there but today I wanted to share more about the one I've been using for about a month and why I love it so much!

Back in March Vichy USA sent me a box of goodies and I first started using their cleansing makeup remover wipes (OBSESSED!!! More to come about those at a later time!) and then because I loved the wipes so much I branched out and started testing out more of their products including Mineral 89, a Hyaluronic Acid moisturizer that is lightweight, paraben-free and water based. This first caught my eye because it's an Oprah Beauty O-Ward Winner (if Oprah loves it, I'll love it!! Right?! haha). Mineral 89 contains 89% of Vichy's miracle ingredient, Mineralizing Thermal Water, a proprietary Vichy ingredient that is scientifically proven to fortify and protect skin against daily aggressors like pollution, stress and fatigue. Mineral 89 also features Hyaluronic Acid which helps plump and hydrate skin. I use it twice a day, in the morning as the first step in my skincare routine and again at night before bed after cleaning my face. In the mornings, I use 2 drops before applying my foundation (sometimes I even mix the two! Do you guys mix your foundation and moisturizer?!) and it's the perfect base for the remaining steps in my routine.

Whether I'm at a photoshoot, going on a run or at home with my kids I need a moisturizer that gives me a hydrating boost that lasts all day long. Mineral 89 is definitely a must-have product that I'll be using all summer long, especially before applying my sunscreen when I'm at the pool with my kids (Vichy even has a travel size Mineral 89 that is perfect for on-the-go)! My face truly looks and feels brighter and hydrated since using this product, in fact, when I first started using it I remember Isla Rose saying "mama, you look pretty!!!" Melts my heart!
