There was a time in my adult life when my beauty routine meant I’d wash my face if I worked out, and sunscreen.

That. Is. All.

Age, maturity, and a really annoying stint with adult acne made me change my foolish, dirty-faced ways.

I still have a pretty basic regimen consisting of wash, moisturize, sunscreen, foundation, blush, mascara, and gloss; however, it is a regimen, and it works for me most of the time.

But, like any wannabe fresh faced lady desperate to look 10 years younger than she is, I’m always on the hunt for good stuff.

I reached out to lady friends all over to get some of their favorites, and here’s what we came up with!
