January 2009 Skincare Routine

My skincare routine is ever changing to suit whatever I feel my skin needs at the moment. Since my skin is pretty fickle, I don't have a typical routine. However, I'm going to start posting monthly skincare routines so you all can see what products I'm using. This post is, as titled, for the previous month of January. With this routine, I saw little to no break outs, my pore size reduced, and I had no dry patches.

Current skin type: dehydrated combination skin with easily clogged pores, small breakouts
