Helping women love what they wear on a budget

My Everyday Skincare Routine with Maelove

August 4, 2021 by Katie Haller

My Everyday Skincare Routine with Maelove
*Thank you to Maelove Skincare for sponsoring this post and gifting me these products!  All opinions are 100% my own.  This post contains affiliate links.

Over the last few years, I have made it a point to make my skincare routine a priority in my life.  I used to be the girl who thought a quick makeup wipe before bed was all you needed, but as I got older I realized just how important a good skincare routine can be.  I now look forward to my skincare routine every day.  It’s a form of self-care for me and it only takes a few minutes out of my day.

When I first started to become interested in establishing a good skincare routine I quickly became overwhelmed by it all.  There are so many different skincare products out there with so many different ingredients.  I had no idea where to even start.  Plus everything was so expensive!  Did I really need to spend $100 on a serum to have an effective skincare routine?

I decided to do a little research on my own to find out how to build an effective skincare routine that will help give me clearer skin and prevent aging.  What I found was that a daily skincare routine does not need to be overwhelming or expensive.  You can stick to the basics and simplify your routine.  What I learned is that the best anti-aging skincare routine simply consists of a cleanser, treatment, moisturizer, and an SPF in the morning.

My Everyday Skincare Routine with Maelove

For the last couple of weeks, I have been using Maelove skincare products during both my AM and PM skincare routines.  What I like about these products is that they help make my skincare routine easy.  They are straightforward with their ingredients plus they are affordable.  They aren’t intimidating like some of the other skincare products I have tried in the past.  Everything down to their packaging makes my skincare routine simple.

I created my own skincare system with Maelove products and here is what I have been using for my daily anti-aging skincare routine.

My Everyday Skincare Routine with Maelove

Refresher || $18.95

First I start with the Refresher.  This is a gentle cleanser made of lactic, malic, and tartaric acid that cleans and revitalizes your skin.  It also has spearmint and peppermint oil in it, which I really love. It gives my skin a tingly clean feel.  It’s very gentle on my skin and I noticed right away that my skin felt smoother and softer.

Stargaze Serum || $27.95

After I wash my face I move on to a treatment of some sort.  For my anti-aging routine, I use a retinol treatment in the evening.  The stargaze serum is described as a potent retinal for beginners.  That makes this retinol serum perfect if you have never used a retinol treatment before.  It provides quick results without any of the negative side effects that some retinol serums have.  I will say that I am not new to using retinol, but I am really loving this one!  It has a creamy consistency to it and I love how quickly it absorbs into my skin.  I haven’t had any irritation at all and I am already noticing results from using it.

The Glow Maker Antioxidant Serum || $27.95

  For my morning treatment, I go with a Vitamin C-based serum.  This Glow Maker Antioxidant Serum is an oil-free serum that brightens, nourishes, and provides antioxidant protection to help with premature aging.  When used with an SPF in the morning it is the perfect duo to protect your skin from the sun.  I really love how this serum applies to my skin.  It’s almost like using water. It absorbs quickly and it feels nice and light on my skin.  I am loving the results of using it!

My Everyday Skincare Routine with Maelove

The One Cream || $27.95

After using the serums I lock it all in with The One Cream.  This is a perfect everyday moisturizer.  It won’t clog your pores and it works on all skin types, even sensitive skin.  I love its thick creamy feel!  It applies so smoothly and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and nourished.  I use this cream both in the morning and evening.

The Eye Enhancer || $27.95

Lastly, I use the eye enhancer eye cream.  I have to say that this might be one of my favorite eye creams I have ever used.  This product helps with hydration, textual issues, anti-aging, dullness, and puffiness around the eyes.  The ingredients include a triple blend of peptides, coffee seed extract, chamomile, evening primrose, aloe, kiwi, ginseng, rose, and lavender.  I love the gel-like substance it is and how it feels as it’s applied.   It has a cooling hydrating feeling.

Love 31 || $74.95

Along with the 5 products I picked for my daily skincare routine, Maelove also included their Love 31 Precious Face Oil.  This oil is filled with 31 botanical extracts and vitamins to help nourish, repair, and protect your skin.  I use this product as needed and a little goes a long way!  The other day after spending a weekend in the sun I used this oil after my nightly routine and found my skin feeling so refreshed.  It was just what my skin needed.

I should also mention that I always include sunscreen in my AM skincare routine as well.  Maelove also has a Sun Protector SPF 30 in their collection that I have yet to try, but if it’s anything like the other products I have used, I’m sure that I would love it too!
It’s been about a month that I have been following my Maelove skincare routine and I have to say that I am impressed!  My skin feels smoother, clearer, and youthful.  I’ve been on the go this summer and I have been finding myself wanting to wear less makeup.  After using my Maelove products I feel more confident to go without makeup and just wear my bare skin.  I’ve even been using filters on Instagram less often because I feel like in the right lighting my natural skin looks better than the filter.
If you are looking to simplify your skincare routine and want effective products that won’t break the bank, I highly recommend trying Maelove!
