May's Skin Care Routine & Product Review
SUP.
Everyone's skin types are different. There's combination, oily, dry and quite possibly more. I'm not an expert on skin care, and I'm trying to fight my battles with acne too, so I'm not saying I know everything about skin.
My typical skincare routine as of now is:
- Cleanse
- Tone
- Moisturise
- Treat
What do I mean by treat?
By treat I really mean treat my acne. This year, for some reason I've started to break out a lot on my forehead and I don't know why.. possibly because this year has been a lot more stressful for me but that's besides the point!
Remember there is no right or wrong routine, as everyone's needs are different.
The products I use
No money for pricey skincare products? Unsure if they actually work for you? Have no fear, drugstore products are equally capable of doing the job as high-end ones whilst being cost effective too! You just have to do a little homework before heading out~
I'm using pretty cheap items as a part of my routine.. so do they suck? No, actually, they're working pretty well. There are certain items that don't seem to be doing much for my skin and certain items that are working pretty well. Let's see..
Cleanser:
Rolled Oats |
Never thought oats can be used as a cleanser did you? (Unless you watch bubzbeauty, then I've got nothing to wow you with..). I grab a handful of the oats and place it in a soy dish filled with water. I wait for the oats to become soaked and pour out the excess water, grab the mush and squeeze out the milky liquid (insert dodgy joke here) and put it over my face. Then I put the mush onto my face and massage until it's covered. I then rinse.. and pat my face dry.. tada! My face would be feeling softer even without toner or moisturiser!
JuJu Cosmetics Natural JUJU Moisture Aloe Toner (Rich) ($11.40) |
The only thing the disappointed me was the actual size of the bottle. Don't get me wrong... there is heaps in there but I just thought it was bigger.. like bigger than the size of my face, but I guess you can't ask for too much. 5 Stars for this toner.
Moisturiser:
Yanwaili Refining & Moistursing Whitening Moisture Lotion ($9~11) |
Oh and I have to tell you there is no pump.. so you kinda have to shake the product out.. a tad disappointing but I guess I'll live. I rate this 5 stars
Treatment:
Clearasil Rapid Action Pimple Cream (Forgot the price :P) |
And I give 3 1/2 stars for this one. Mainly because of it's small size.
If there is anything that I haven't covered.. leave a comment. Do ask questions, I'll try my best to answer them fully :).
