I inherited my fear of dryness from my mother. She used to smear lotion and who knows what else on my face whenever she sensed I needed a little extra hydration. These days, when I get to talk about beauty on the internet, I’m always sharing the steps that keep me swearing the Ashy Larry look at all costs. Here’s what I recommend...
Double Cleanse
First, I remove makeup and grime with a cleansing oil. After massaging it in, I remove the oil with a damp muslin. Next, I massage two pumps of into my skin. I find this product is best used without applying water first. I’ll wash it off with the damp muslin again and find my skin feels squeaky clean, not stripped or dry.
Moisturizer
Now I indulge. Moisturizer is my one instantly gratifying product. My skin immediately feels supple and has a certain luminosity. My cocktail is a pea-sized amount of Glossier and three drops of facial oil. I do this at night and always sleep like a baby knowing that I’ll wake up with soft, buttery skin.
Extras
As a final step, I like to spritz my face with mist, especially before bed. helps me feel refreshed, particularly when traveling or after a long day. And I can’t forget the lips! In the AM, I’ll use Glossier’s in Cherry for just a little tint. I reapply throughout the day as necessary.
