Name: Karen Anais Pozo
What you do: Full-time research nurse specialist and beauty enthusiast. I am also a dog momma and a shameless homebody.
Skin Type: Oily/combination skin. Oily skin girls, hello!
We’re obsessed with your skin-care-centric Instagram. What inspired you to start your account?
During the past few years I have become obsessed with skin care as I began to see signs of aging on my face. I continue learning more and more about skin care while simultaneously learning to love my imperfections.
Tell us about your current skin-care routine.
I try to keep it simple but sometimes I am extra!
I opt for gentle cleansers, currently loving two by Dr. Dennis Gross and Glossier. I then continue with a toner, my favorite at the moment is the Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner. It's alcohol-free and super affordable. I follow by misting myself with a hydrating facial spray by Herbivore or Caudalie. Mists also make for a quick aromatherapy session! Eye cream is a must — currently loving Bubble Wrap by Glossier. It has the cutest packaging! I then follow with a serum; depending on how my skin feels I'll pick what will suit me best for that day. During the summer, I follow with a lightweight moisturizer like the Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet by Caudalie. And can’t forget SPF, of course. My two go-tos are by Coola and Supergoop! My routine also includes double cleansing after wearing makeup as well as physical and chemical exfoliation twice per week. I also enjoy a good masking session.

What’s the last skin-care product you finished? Would you buy it again?
The La Mer Moisturizing Gel Cream. I took on a recent trip to Peru, and my skin was loving it. I would definitely purchase it again when I am able to treat myself on a special occasion!
What’s one thing you wish you learned sooner, in regards to skin care?
I wish I would have not skipped on properly moisturizing just because I was afraid of my oily skin.
What’s your skin care guilty pleasure?
BYREDO Bal D'Afrique Hand Cream. So luxurious!
What’s the skin-care ingredient you can’t get enough of?
Roses! Please, give me everything in roses.

What’s your favorite thing about skin care?
My skin-care routine is the time I set aside for myself. I love the sense of being pampered from the comfort of my own home. I especially enjoy a good facial massage with my gua sha by Mount Lai. Remember, to always practice self love!
