The Daily Grind...Skincare Edition!

This is going to be somewhat of a short post since I really should be working on my assignment...heh heh. The following three products are the potions I reach for every morning. They have seen me at my worst--tired, cranky, grubby, and crusty-eyed. 


I use the scrub every other day just to slough off any dry skin. It's also really nice when you just can't seem to wake up since it contains cooling menthol. I always feel rejuvenated and energized after using it. The only con is that it can be quite drying.
Aveeno's foaming cleanser is great for acne-prone skin like mine. It contains salicylic acid and is the only foaming cleanser I've ever tried that did not leave my skin feeling tight and try.

Finally, the lotion is buy far the best drugstore moisturizer I've used (I would even go as far as saying one of the best moisturizers period). It's quite thick but surprisingly it absorbs into the skin very quickly. In the morning when my skin is dry, this doubles up as a makeup primer and I always notice that my foundation goes  on smoothly after applying this.

That's it for now! All three products are inexpensive (yes, even Aveeno). Let me know if you've tried any of these and what you think. If you haven't, I'd love to know what your favourite drugstore cleansers and moisturizers are!
