“When I finally cut my embarrassingly elaborate skin-care routine down to ten minutes this summer, it was a point of pride. My goal: perfect, luminous skin”
It’s me! Photo: Andre D. Wagner Vanities is a new feature in which the Cut’s editors obsessively detail their beauty routines, down to very last drop. First up: The Cut’s associate beauty editor, Ashley Weatherford, whose poreless, glowing skin has garnered her the office nickname “Mother of Light.” Here’s Ashley on her current skin-care routine and what she’s currently testing out.
After I cleanse, I rub on the most aptly named product in existence: Good Genes. The serum by Sunday Riley is fueled by lactic acid and makes my skin instantly glow. It has a pungent, spicy smell that turns off many, but surprisingly, not me. Maybe all you need to know is that Helen Mirren is a fan. Right after I tend to my eyes, I slap on Philosophy’s Renewed Hope in a Jar SPF 30 mixed with a dab of every makeup artist’s holy-grail product, Kevyn Aucoin’s Sensual Skin Enhancer, which completes my morning ritual.
It’s a waiting game of 30 minutes before I move to the next step. Though, truthfully, some nights, this is where the train ends. But if I’m being diligent, I follow the salicylic acid with Paula’s Choice Resist Anti-Aging 1% Retinol Booster. The 30-minute waiting period nullifies any irritation that might arise when using an acid and a retinol at the same time. It’s a method I’ve tested through trial and error because it will sting a bit if I don’t wait.
