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.

My everyday saviors!My advice is don't be swayed by the hype. Instead, look for products that work for you. We are all different, what work for others may not work for you.Remember to Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize, and Protect. You can add up or customize your own skin care routine. Good luck! xoxo, Johara |
