Someone asked me to put up my skincare routine so I was wondering why not? And since Eid is coming, I hope you will learn a thing or two from this post to prep your skin for the big day!
Believe it or not, when I reached my puberty, I was battling with acne. Although it wasn't as bad as leaving scars on my cheeks, it did ruin my self-esteem sometimes. I still do have acne once in a while, especially a week before my period. It doesn't bother me as much now because I believe my skin needs to detox once in a while and acne is one of the ways to remove impurities.
Morning
- To keep the acnes at bay, I use Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser. I've been using this for about 2 years now and it works really well. It doesn't dry up my skin too. My face feels clean after every wash but not tight.
- Next, to prep my skin for the serum, I use Mario Badescu Special Cucumber Lotion. I use this with a cotton pad.
- My real skin concern now is huge, opened pores and yes, I am starting to see fine lines as well. So serums are a big part of my skincare routine now. I juggle between 2 pre-mixed serums by Skin Inc - Custom-Blended Hydrate 'Em and Custom-Blended Get Glowin'. I use them on alternate months and I could see a big difference to my skin. It's smoother now and the pores have shrunk significantly! Both are moisturising and my skin is now dewy.
- To prep my skin for makeup, I use This Works In Transit Camera Close-Up and Klarity Lasertox Miracle White CC Lotion. This helps to brighten my skin and make my makeup stay longer throughout the day.
Night
- I remove my makeup with Origins Clean Energy Gentle Cleansing Oil. After spreading it all over my face, I use a hot towel to remove all the makeup.
- Once done, I use the same Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser. This time I will massage my face longer to make sure all impurities removed.
- And since I will still be unsatisfied, I use Mario Badescu Special Cucumber Lotion to ensure all makeup is removed.
- Next, I will use the same serums.
- After serum, I will need to moisturise my skin. So I'll use Olay Aqua Action Long Lasting Hydration Gel. This smells delicious and it is super moisturising! It can take a while to dry up so it's not an ideal morning moisturiser because I am usually in a rush.
- If I get a some acne, this is my lifesaver: Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. Even the toughest spots will be gone in a few days!
Weekly
- For exfoliation, I use Lush Love Lettuce. This mask helps to remove the whiteheads or blackheads.
- Once I'm done with the mask, I'll use Biore Pore Pack Black which you can get from Watson's.
- I also use Dewytree's Tea Tree Trouble Solution Mask. I usually buy them in bulk which can be found at BHG.
