Skin Care Favorites


Hey y'all!

Fall has just about arrived in Alabama, meaning that somedays it's going to be a cool and comfortable seventy degrees, some days you're going to sweating in eighty degree weather, and even other days you're going to be feeling the nippy winter-like sixty degree weather.

With all the changes happening with the changing of the seasons, my skin is also changing on me-meaning that I need to be more diligent with my skin care routine.
Now I'm not one of those girls that will tell you that you need to use one skin care line for every part of your routine-I don't always feel like that is the answer!

Today I'm sharing with you what I use every single day without fail & so far it hasn't let me down...my skin is better than ever!

Biore Charcoal Pore Strips
I've been using the original Biore nose strips for as long as I can remember, but Biore has stepped up their game with the charcoal version.
I use these when I feel like my pores are getting clogged (after heavy makeup days, etc.) and they always do the job. And peeling them off is just so satisfying...am I right?

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes
I go through boxes and boxes of these, they're just a great product and easy to use.
While they aren't my only method of taking my makeup off, they do get the trace amounts left behind after I use my oil and cleanser.

Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer
I've been using Valentia products for a little over a year now and I like each one that I've used.
They have high quality ingredients & their packaging is like no other. 
If I only had time to apply one product in the AM it would be this moisturizer because it's so light on your skin, but truly does give you a glow...plus it smells slightly like fruit loops, it's addictive!

Exuviance Gentle Cleansing Creme
This face wash is the best one that I've ever tried.
It's gentle and creamy, it gets makeup off like no other, and I can use it daily and it never, ever irritates my skin.
This bottle also lasted me forever, I can't wait until my new bottle arrives!

Valentia Night Revive Retinol Serum
I love using nightly serums & trying different ones out.
I just finished up the Royal Rose Serum by Valentia and this one was my next pick.
Things I've noticed since using this product; my breakouts are fewer, my skin tone seems better, & I've seen reduced redness.
The retinol in it is supposed to encourage cell turnover so hopefully using it will keep my skin looking younger-longer!

Burt's Bees Cleansing Oil
I got this product in a Target Beauty Box & at first I didn't really see the point in using it...my skin naturally is more oily so I didn't want to add more oil to my face!
But it takes off makeup so gently & easily and leaves my face feeling so soft.
I haven't noticed any skin problems associated with using this & it takes off even my mascara-I'd call that a double win!

Tula Revitalizing Eye Cream
A few months ago I won a gift card to Tula and chose the tester kit with a few sample sizes of products. I've used them all up by now (they're all amazing!) but this one is lasting forever-for that I am thankful!
I've tried out dozens of eye creams and gels in the past few years and this one is hands down my favorite.
It's very rich & creamy, so it hydrates my under eye area very well.
I love that it seems to help the dark circles too, something that late nights will always give you!


I hope y'all enjoyed my skin-care round-up and maybe found some new products to test out for yourselves, these are honestly tried and true favorites of mine that I typically keep in a constant rotation.

Until next time. . .

xoxo, 


A big thank you to Valentia  for providing me with product in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions are my own.  Thank you for supporting brands who support Southern & Style.

  18. After endless adventures in products, I find the best method for me is washing my face with just water and applying a really good moisturizer afterwards.

  19. I'm a big fan of the original Biore nose strips but I need to give the charcoal ones a try! Definitely a must have as a weekly treatment in my skin care routine.

  20. The Neutrogena wipes are my absolute favorite! I've been using them for years and I'm with you I also don't just use them as a makeup remover. I'll usually wash my face with a cleanser after.
