My Morning Skincare Routine

My morning skincare routine is fairly simple! I have a bit of an oily skin, but these products don't make me look too oily.
Here is an overview of my morning skincare products!
First, I cleanse my face with my new Yes to daily clarifying cleanser.  So far, I really like this cleanser.  It makes my face feel so smooth.  I'm hoping to see my skin more clear throughout the use of this.
After I wash my face, I like to tone with this witch hazel.  It's a cheaper alternative to an actual toner, but it works just as well maybe even better!  I used to use the Bert's Bees toner with salicylic acid, but I had to stop using it because I was allergic to salicylic acid.  So I gave this a try.
Next, I moisturize my face with this vitamin E illuminating moisture cream from The Body Shop.  I have mixed feelings about this...  This gives me a very nice settle glow only if I don't over use it.  If I put too much on, my face will have a purple hue/tint (I'm not really sure how to describe it correctly :/).  But, my face seriously looks so nice when I use a correct amount of this.  Nice and glowy!
Then, I'll apply a very thin layer of this sunscreen on my entire face to protect it from the sun (duh!).  I have hyper pigmentation (red spots) from past acne and I don't want them to get any darker, so I have to wear sunscreen.  Another thing I love about this is that it doesn't make my skin any more oily.  
And the final step is to moisturize the lips!  I have a few lip balms opened currently, but I chose these two to share because I use these most often.  The Nivea lip butter in vanilla&macadamia kiss smells so good! It smells so delicious, I just want to eat it.  The Body Shop's born lippy in strawberry also smells amazing!!! It really smells like real strawberries.  This one gives a red tint and so it's nice when you're not planning to wear any lipstick.  
Alright, this is the end of my morning skincare routine.  Pretty simple, huh? :)
