My Skincare Schedule: Day-by-Day Steps to Better Skin

This blog may contain affiliate links. I may earn a small commission to fund my coffee habit if you use these links to make a purchase. You will not be charged extra, and you’ll keep this mama going. I love these products already and just want to share...it’s a win for everyone, really!

One night my girlfriends and I had a group text going about skin and what are some things to try and clear it up. We threw around some “have you tried…” or “I love this…” comments, and I started to realize that it’s not so much the what but rather the when and how that matters the most. That is when I decided to share my skincare schedule.

Everyone’s skin is different…

Naturally we all need different products to accomplish our various skincare goals, but I believe that there are a few tried and true steps that can help us all, no matter which products we choose to fill in the gaps. When it comes to skincare, few things are always true, but one important fact to remember is that everyone needs both physical and chemical exfoliation.

Wait, that sounds scary…

Slow down, take a deep breath and realize that chemical exfoliation doesn’t always mean putting on a mask that makes you look like you strayed to close to the sun for the next four days… Our skin needs to regenerate and create new cells to look youthful, bright and healthy. It takes too long to do this on its own so when we help it out by exfoliating, we get rid of old cells to make room for the new.

Physical exfoliating is when you use either a facial scrub or a scrubber tool to physically (duh!) buff away & remove the dead skin and buildup. This is important because dead skin and residue from makeup and other skincare products can act like a blanket over your skin, not fully allowing it to breathe and it also can lead to clogged pores. Chemical exfoliation usually involves gentle peels and acid products to help stimulate blood flow to the skin and help it re-produce faster.

“when it comes to skincare, few things are always true, but one important fact to remember is that everyone needs both physical and chemical exfoliation.”

Okay, so when do I actually DO these different things?

Over the years, I have gotten into a pretty solid and steady skincare routine. Sometimes I fall off the wagon and that’s ok, however, I would say most of the time, I do tend to follow this skincare schedule.

*I want to add here that before each step listed below, I have already done two things each day and that is remove my makeup (checkout my blog post on how I do that here) & wash my face. I’m not going to list every product that I use in my daily morning & night skincare routines, that is for another post or two… I will add the products that I use as part of my skincare schedule that supplement my daily routine.

  • My fave mask tools: Mixing Set | Brush
  • Clay Mask: I mix mine with Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Chemical Peel
  • Face Scrubs: Normal Skin | Problem Skin
  • Facial Scrubby Pads
Take it Day by Day…

Whatever day you choose to start your new skincare schedule is entirely up to you! I like to think of my “Day 1” as being on a Tuesday, but that is just because I enjoy my clay mask lining up with Sunday night. Below you can find links to every single product you need to supplement your daily skincare routines from the tools I use to the products themselves. I have included two facial scrubs, one for normal skin, and one for problem skin, but I have used both and love them each for their respective purpose.

It seems like a lot, but once you get the hang of this schedule, it really becomes second nature. With the exception of the derma planing, chemical peel, and the clay mask, it will add mere seconds to your routine, but it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE! I hope you found this post helpful and I can’t wait to hear how it works for you!

Be sure to comment back or find me on Instagram (@mess.marvelous) to let me know how it goes!

Until next time my lovelies!

  • LIFE UPDATE: What’s up my loves?!? I’ve been gone from here and stories a ton lately because we’re MOVING! Lol I wish it was as exciting as it sounds, but we are actually moving in with my parents for a while to save on rent so we can hopefully buy our first house within the upcoming year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My days have been filled with massive decluttering and trips to various donation centers. After getting out the junk and old decor that hasn’t seen the light of day for 3 years, packing is so much easier. Only packing away things I love or will truly use has been so much less daunting than our previous moves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The logistics of this move are a bit different though, since we have Fiona now, and trying to keep her entertained and keep her world relatively unchanged until the last minute are no small tasks lol. Also keeping things separate that we will still need while living with family is making it a bit confusing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the end I know it will be worth it, and we have loved living here. Each time we move somewhere different it gets me closer and closer to finding out where around central Florida I want to settle and I think I’m almost there 😉.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

  • Do you ever rediscover something in your wardrobe and wonder why you stopped wearing it? That’s me and these shoes. I have had them for several years now, and have always loved them, but I kind of forgot they were in there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

  • I shared this in stories today, but she’s too cute to not get a permanent spot. Every single time we make a #targetrun she MUST take a picture with bullseye lol. Then I immediately douse her with hand sanitizer and put her right back in the cart 😆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

  • Heading into 2021 sharing my No. 1 post from 2020! Just pure joy and freedom, living my best mask-free life at Disney Springs for the Trail of Trees!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m not going to go into a long reflection of this past year. We all lived it together, we know how it feels and what it looked like. I miss my friends and spending extra time with my family, hopefully that’s on the horizon sooner rather than later. Other than that... I’m just trying to bring big Disney-style energy back into my life in 2021, and I wish the same for you!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy New Year my loves!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
