Skincare Routine (Part A)

Hi Lovelies

A good skin is universal and if you are in the beauty industry, then its a must have. Don't kill yourself yet if you're battling with skin troubles. There's a way out Honey. It's a gradual process but you will get there eventually. Do you have a beauty care routine? How consistent are you at it? Our bodies function better based on consistency.

Today I'm going to talk about my regimen skincare routine. Its nothing fancy. I don't go out of my way to get expensive products. Actually, my routine deals more with home made recipes and few beauty products (highly affordable too).

I divide them basically into 5 groups

Cleanse
Exfoliate
Tone
Moisturize
Sun protect

CLEANSE
This is basically the most important to me. I can't do without cleansing my face. Its an essential routine because it does a more deeper cleansing than just washing your face with soap and warm water.
Cleansers come in different kinds for different skin types. A dry skin should go for an oily cleanser with lower percentage of alcohol. Alcohol is a strong drying agent and would be harsh for dry skin but suitable for oily skin. Very good cleansers can be obtained from any good cosmetic shops or drugstore.

Another deep cleansing routine involves the face steaming. Its a home routine and I don't need to visit a spa for that. You basically need a bucket, a towel, a steaming bowl of water. Pour the steaming water into a bucket, place your head directly over the bucket so that the steam goes directly into your face. Cover your head with the towel to minimise heat loss. The steam dissolves the oil and dirt hidden in your pores. Wash your face with soap and rinse with cold water to close up your pores. Ta da! You got yourself a fresh face.

EXFOLIATE
Exfoliation like every other routine is important. However, I advise it should be done sparingly (once a week works the magic). Apricot scrubs are cool, could be a bit harsh though while St. Iyves products works a magic on the skin. Get the particular brand suitable for your skin type and pamper your skin.

The rest of the routine will be in my next write up. Keep a date.

Stay beautiful!
