Calm Skin edits

By ellelearyartistry

Skincare favorites for calm, healthy, glowing skin at every age.

Finally home and reunited with my skincare routine. ✨ These are the products I used to exfoliate, hydrate, and give my skin a little reset after two weeks of travel.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is relying on moisturizer alone for hydration.

As an esthetician, I’ve used an essence for years because it helps add that first layer of hydration before serums and moisturizer. Think of it like watering the soil before planting. When skin is properly hydrated, everything that follows can work more effectively.

If your skin still feels dry, tight, or dull, adding an essence may be the missing step in your routine.

Sharing a few of my favorite essences that I reach for again and again.

The $16 Eye Cream Every Pro is Talking About! 🕊️

• Best for: Fine lines, "tired" eyes, and smooth makeup prep.
• Key Ingredients: NAD+, Retinol, 50 Peptides.
• Price: Under $16!

This foaming serum is built around one of the most underrated ingredients in skincare. Urea helps the skin hold onto hydration while gently smoothing texture which makes it especially helpful as skin matures and barrier resilience becomes more important. The addition of peptides supports overall skin strength and elasticity which gives this formula a more sophisticated feel than you would expect at this price point. I like using this right after cleansing when I want hydration without heaviness.

If you want a slightly more elevated option:

This is a smart formulation built around urea and peptides to support hydration, barrier function, and skin smoothness. It feels lightweight yet deeply conditioning which is ideal for mature skin that needs moisture without weight. One of those products that truly performs beyond its price.

This is my exact everyday morning skincare routine. Every product here is focused on calming redness, deeply hydrating, and supporting the skin barrier without irritation. These formulas help keep my skin comfortable, balanced, and smooth while creating the perfect base for makeup. Consistency with barrier-supportive products has completely changed my skin over time.

My under eye sandwich method to keep concealer smooth, hydrated, and crease free. This technique uses a hydrating essence, peptide rich eye cream, and a lightweight eye balm to create the perfect base before color corrector and concealer.

This makes the under eyes look brighter, smoother, and more luminous, especially over 40.

Partnership With StriVectin:Skin barrier health is essential for calm, balanced looking skin, especially when redness and sensitivity start to show.
As a makeup artist and licensed esthetician with light rosacea, I focus on strengthening the barrier so skin can hold moisture and look more resilient.
I prep with the StriVectin Barrier Restore+ Soothing Milky Mist, then follow with the Soothing Ceramide Cream to help support hydration and comfort throughout the day. These formulas feature proprietary Turmeric-146 Peptide and NIA-114. NIA-114 is clinically proven to strengthen the skin barrier, and the turmeric peptide helps reduce the look of redness while supporting stressed, sensitized skin. The Soothing Ceramide Cream is accepted by the National Rosacea Society, which makes it a thoughtful option for redness prone skin types. Available at Ulta Beauty. #StriVectinPartner #BarrierRestore #SensitiveSkinCare

If you wake up with puffiness, redness, or inflammation, this is the tool that makes the fastest difference. I keep it in the freezer and use it first thing in the morning to instantly calm, depuff, and reset my skin.

It helps tighten, reduce swelling, and gives that fresh, well-rested look in just a few minutes. One of my favorite simple tricks for better looking skin without adding more products.

Spicule Day from my 7 day pro aging routine for dry, dehydrated skin over 40.

Spicules act like a liquid microneedling step to support collagen production and enhance the absorption of your skincare. This night focuses on gentle cleansing, calming support for redness, and targeted stimulation for smoother, firmer looking skin.

Important. Do not use around the eyes or neck. If using prescription retinoids, consult your dermatologist before incorporating.
