Hello friends! Let's talk about skin care today! I admit it, I'm not really into skin care. I don't do the full 9 yards of skin care, in fact my skin care routine is very simple. I am blessed to have a clear skin, I am not acne-prone. I have combination oily skin, which means my t-zone area is the only part where I oil up, the rest is dry.
Let me share to you my modest current skin care routine:
- Lancome Creme Radiance Clarifying Cream-to-foam cleanser for Normal/Combination Skin - this is an amazing cleanser! This is true to its claim of clarifying the skin. After washing, I noticed that my skin brightens up. It is very gentle and it penetrates deep into the pores and even removes waterproof makeup. This made my skin healthier and luminous.
- Nivea Extra White Repair Pore Minimiser Toner - I'm not sure with its whitening effect, but this does the job of removing impurities and makeup residues. I feel extra clean when I use a toner, and please don't ignore your neck area!
- Bench 94% Aloe Soothing Gel - this is a non-sticky, quick absorbing, and moisturizing aloe gel. I love how light weight it feels and how easily the skin eats this up. This is perfect for everyday, especially on hotter months where a heavy moisturizer is just a NO.
Aloe goodness! Also great for your hair |
- Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50 - another great moisturizer/sunscreen is this Biore Watery Essence. This feels literally like water, yet it is packed with sun protection. This is a must for those who are always out under the sun, and yes, for us who are from a tropical country!
- Evian Facial Spray - this is your midday refresher! This gives a cooling effect that would for sure make you feel better. This can also be used as a moisturizer before putting on makeup. I love spritzing this when I feel like my face is too dry (especially if you are travelling).
Midday refresher! - Masks - Beauty Fix Peeling Mask feels like your nose pack except it is for the entire face. This is really painful to remove especially if it sets already. I eventually get used to this. I feel cleaner after using this one. This removes deep-seated dirt and even dead skin cells. I love using this once a week. Another favorite is iWhite Korea's 2-min Whitening Miracle. Unlike the peeling mask, this is not painful at wall. This gently removes your dead skin cells/impurities easily and instantly brightens the face.
Weekend treats! - Micellar water - This is a staple for me since I wear waterproof mascara everyday! I use this to remove my eye makeup and wash my face. This removes my makeup easily. On nights where I am dead tired and I don't feel like washing, I just used these.
