TOP 10 BEST KOREAN SKINCARE PRODUCTS - PART 1

by , in

 


Hi beautiful people welcome back to my blog. Today I am going to be talking about my most favorite Top 10 KOREAN SKINCARE PRODUCTS.

All of the products that I have here are the ones that I’ve totally loved and used quite a lot in the past year. Some of these are repurchases, some are even third- and fourth-time purchases. Not just that, I have some of my holy grails in this blog as well.

Now without further ado let's dive right into this blog but before diving into the blog I would also like to mention that I’ll be doing a Part 2 where I talk about another TOP 10 LIST OF KOREAN SKINCARE PRODUCTS that I totally love because I have more than 10 products from the Korean skincare range.

The products in this blog are in no particular order of preference however the first two products that I am going to show you definitely hit the mark for me and they are my absolute favorites.

 

Klairs Vitamin C Drops


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The first one, no surprises is from Klaire's is the Klaire's Vitamin C Drops. It's basically a vitamin c serum. I have mentioned about this product plenty of times on my platform simply because it's one of the best Vitamin C serums out there. Not just that the formulation in here is also pretty incredible.

Now firstly this has 5% vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid. A good vitamin C serum acts as an antioxidant and it will work on hyperpigmentation, fade brown spots. If you're looking for a brightening facial serum, a good vitamin C does the job.

Also, vitamin C serum like this is anti-aging. This facial serum has another powerful ingredient which is centella asiatica. An ingredient I’ve spoken a lot about on my platform because it does not only have amino acids in it. It's also rich in beta-carotene and numerous potent phytochemicals. Centralized yataka also calms down any inflammation on the skin.

This is a great product even if you have sensitive skin because it is fragrance free. Also, asiatica boosts collagen and stimulates new cell growth. I have done a full review not just on this product but on a lot of other facial serums and I am going to that blog right below here in this blog.

 

Klairs Vitamin E Mask


BUY NOW BUY NOW


Moving on to the second product on my list what I have here is the Klaire's vitamin E mask. Now this basically comes in a duo and you get this with the vitamin E serum. This is called the vitamin duo; it has the vitamin C drop and the vitamin E mask.

Honestly speaking I feel the Klairs vitamin c and this is such a powerful combination. This is superb lightweight sleeping mask and this is a super heavy dose of vitamin E. Needless to say vitamin E is an antioxidant and it also slows down aging so, if you're using your vitamin c serum at night go in with this. It's such a beautiful, such a potent formula to have.

Some of the ingredients which this particular mask has and some beautiful ingredients right here are tocopherol acetate which is a form of vitamin E, we also have niacinamide which is a brightening agent, we have glycerin which is a great humectant, sodium hyaluronate which is a form of hyaluronic acid and also butylene glycol which is a great conditioning it is going to soften your skin.

So, if you are someone who's looking for a good combination to use at night of a serum and of a moisturizer or a sleeping mask, I highly recommend this vitamin duo.

 

Faceshop Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser


BUY NOW BUY NOW


Moving on to the next product what I have here is the Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser from Faceshop. This is a product that I have repurchased it again and again. I really appreciate their products simply because it helps get rid of any sort of makeup after you've cleansed your makeup with a cleansing balm. It forms really well also because it's non-stripping on the skin, it would really work on dry skin and also if you are a combination skin more towards dry.

Getting into the ingredient list, this has pretty much on top of the list is glycerin which is a great humectant and I have spoken the importance of glycerin and the fact that I like it as an ingredient in my skincare products so much especially if you put it in a wash off product. It really makes the product a non-stripping one at that, the other good ingredient of course is rice water. Now rice water is really rich in vitamin A, B and E and also ceramides.

 

Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2x


BUY NOW BUY NOW


Moving on I have a product from Innisfree. This is the Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2x. A product that did feature in my Top 10 Face Mask List as well. If you haven't read that blog, I am going to link it below.

A mask that I feel really detoxifies my skin. The way I use it is before removing this mask I take some water in my palms and just massage the mask into my skin. It also has some very soft beads which I feel very gently exfoliate the skin as well.

Talking about ingredients this has some amazing ones here. This definitely has green tea in it which is an antioxidant also is anti-inflammatory so whenever I feel I have inflamed skin I try and go in with this. Also, it works beautifully on my black and white heads. This also has tocopherol which is a form of vitamin E and which basically makes the mask a non-stripping one.

 

Innisfree Green Tea Cleansing Oil


BUY NOW BUY NOW


Another product from Innisfree what I have is the Green Tea Cleansing Oil. Firstly, this is such a beautiful makeup removing cleansing oil so lightweight it gets rid of all your makeup even waterproof mascara and your waterproof eyeliner. A product I definitely fell in love with the first time I used it.

This also has salicylic acid in it and let me tell you that expecting mothers should stay away from some salicylic acid. Other then that rest of people can definitely use it.

It is so gentle on the skin because its oil based, it is non-stripping and any skin type whether your dry skin, combination skin you're likely to love this more because it's an oil-based cleanser. otherwise, most skin types can use this.

Some of the ingredients that this particular cleansing oil has is that this basically is formulated with green tea of course, you also have glycerin you, sunflower seed oil, panthenol, vitamin B5, butylene glycol and also salicylic acid.

 

Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum


BUY NOW BUY NOW


Another product from Innisfree that I wanted to feature in this blog that I have used it in the past and loved it is the Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum. The serum is formulated with glycerin, butylene glycol, green tea, sodium hyaluronate and also hyaluronic acid.

So, because it has such hydrating ingredients it makes it a very hydrating facial serum, having said that it's extremely lightweight. It does have fragrance however; I know a few acne-prone skin people and people who suffer from sensitivity on their skin and both skin conditions actually seem to love that product simply because it's so lightweight on the skin. It gets absorbed in the skin very easily.

Even if your dry skin or your combination don't shy away from trying this product because it has both sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid in it and also some great humectants in there alongside butylene glycol which is a skin softener.

Overall, definitely a product that gets a thumbs up from me.

 

Klairs Supple Preparation Toner


BUY NOW BUY NOW


My next product would also be from Klaire's what I have here is the Klairs Supple Preparation Toner. Beautiful hydrating toner, it's a calming and soothing toner as well because of the ingredients in here.

Now when you turn around the bottle you will see a very intensive ingredient list but please don't get intimidated because there are some great ingredients in this one. Some of the key ingredients that really make it a beautiful hydrating toner is butylene glycol which is a humectant solvent it's a penetration enhancer and of course is a preservative booster as well.

Then we have vitamin E and vitamin C so it can be used this as a brightening toner, we also have hyaluronic acid which is why it's a very hydrating toner and then we have centaur asiatica panthenol pro vitamin B5, we have licorice root extract, another brightening ingredient amino acids and copper tripeptides.

Overall, this was a product that when I first bought it, I did not land up loving the product. But this is a kind of product that actually grows on you so, the moment you use it, the first week I felt that this is an average product.

But I started to feel the difference in my skin because when I washed my face, I went in with this one and the best way to actually use it is not on a cotton pad. It is to take a few drops on your palms press the product between your palms and then press it into your skin.

That way it really hydrates your skin and works as a very hydrating toner.

 

Laneige Sleeping Lip Mask Berry


BUY NOW BUY NOW


Next up we have a product from Laneige and you won't be surprised to see this. This is the Laneige Sleeping Lip Mask Berry. I’ve used many of these tubs and I love this because it's so hydrating on the lips. Especially for me because my lips chap very easily. They get dry very easily so, this is something that I love and reach out for a lot, to be honest whether it's winters or summers.

It also has a very slight tint so, if you are someone who doesn't like wearing lipsticks but you like a beautiful tinted hydrating lip balm this is the one that I love and definitely something that you can try.

 

Faceshop White Seed Brightening Serum

Next up we have a brightening serum from Faceshop. What I have here is the Faceshop White Seed Brightening Serum. Now definitely a very lightweight serum and this is formulated with white seed and white willow bark extract alongside logan seed extract. Again, something if you are oily skin or if you are someone who's combination. Even acne prone for that matter are likely to love this product.

Because it really hydrates the skin from within and like I said it's a brightening serum as well and the texture here is really lightweight.

 

Faceshop Chia Seed No Shine Intense Hydrating Cream

BUY NOW BUY NOW  

My last product is also from Faceshop. What I have here is the Chia Seed No Shine Intense Hydrating Cream. This product also featured in my Top 10 Favorite Moisturizers List. If you haven't seen that blog, I will link it.

Beautiful moisturizer, overall, I feel definitely a product that's going to work on a couple of different skin types and it's very hydrating at least for combination skin in summers and something that I definitely will reach out in summers quite a lot as well

So, guys with that it's a wrap. I really hope that you enjoyed this blog and were able to take some pics from my favorite Korean skincare products definitely let me know in the comment section below.

My Detailed Night Skincare Routine and Sharing Skin Transforming Tips

by , in

  


Hi my beauties welcome back to my channel I hope you guys are doing well

Today I am going to be sharing all about my skincare routine because I get so many questions from so many of you. You guys want to know everything about my skincare so today I have my night skincare routine for you which is more linear than my morning skincare.

Today is all about my night skincare and how do I do it exactly. Now I am also going to be sharing some of my very important skincare tips which I learned from the internet and also by hit and trial which has completely changed my skincare game.

So, you want to grab a piece of paper and a pen to write all these tips and also a cup of tea or coffee because this is going to be a long-ass blog and without further ado let's dive right into this blog.

 

STEP 1:

The first step of skincare that I am going to talk about is makeup removal. It's very important to get rid of all the makeup before you go into any kind of skincare.

So, I like to make it a little elaborate and split this part into three steps. First, we are going to go into a micellar water then we are going to go into a cream-based cleanser and then the third will be a water-based cleanser.

On days where I am not wearing makeup, I like to skip using any micellar water. I just go in with a cleansing balm and just cleanse my entire face that helps get rid of any kind of gunk or pollution from my face.

 

GARNIER OIL-INFUSED CLEANSING WATER (MICELLAR WATER)


BUY NOW BUY NOW


For the days when I am wearing makeup or I have a heavy base of waterproof mascara, eye shadows and even a lipstick then I am going to go into the micellar water. My favorite right now is from Garnier it's their Oil-Infused Cleansing Micellar Water. This is an oil-based cleanser so this will help you get rid of your eye makeup and also any kind of lipstick or waterproof mascara.

For this step you have to pour in some of the micellar water on a cotton pad and please make sure that you have good cotton pads especially something that's lint-free. The ones that I absolutely love are from Tulip and these are lint-free pads. They are dual textured and they can be used from both the sides. These are the ones that I really like.

Whenever you're removing your eye makeup you have to be careful and you have to be gentle. You just have to put some of the micellar water on a cotton pad and just press it for about five seconds and when you wipe it off you will see that most of the makeup is going to come out. Now this is a really important step because you don't want to hurt your eyes or break your lashes so be very gentle while you're removing your eye makeup.

 

FACESHOP RICE WATER CLEANSING CREAM


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The third one is the Rice Water Bright Cleansing Cream this is from Faceshop. This is also my absolute favorite. I love it especially on the days but I'm not wearing makeup. It removes any kind of pollution and gunk from your face and it's really good and gentle even if you have sensitive skin. I really highly recommend this I think this is an all-skin type product. Even dry skin type people or combination skin type people can use this.

 

CLINIQUE TAKE THE DAY OFF CLEANSING BALM


BUY NOW BUY NOW


Once you've removed your eye makeup and lipstick with Micellar water. The next step is to go in with a cleansing balm. The cleansing balm that I absolutely love for removing my makeup is the Clinique Take The Day Off. This is their travel sized small bottle.

You just have scoop it out on your finger and start massaging it on your face and you will see that this is going to melt down all the makeup, the foundation and even the waterproof mascara. This is one of the best cleansing butters out their guys. If you have the budget to buy this, I highly recommend going in for this. It's a very good cleansing balm to have especially if you are someone who wears makeup often. This is going to be a lifesaver.

Now I like to massage my cleansing balm for at least 45 to 50 seconds because you want to give it time, you want to make sure that you're very gently massaging your face that the entire makeup melts down after you've removed your cleansing balm.

 

STEP 2:

PLUM GREEN TEA FACE WASH


BUY NOW BUY NOW


After that you can go ahead and washed your face and the face wash that I use at night is the Plum Green Tea Pore Cleansing Face Wash. This is such a beautiful cleansing gel and anyone with acne prone skin, combination skin, oily skin, even dry skin type people can use this.

Now I am going to give you very important tip and that's respective of your skin type and the face wash that you're using. Go ahead and massage your face wash for exactly 60 seconds, you don't have to do it more than that because that's going to dry out your skin. Now I learned this from google through an article and I started to do it ever since and I could see the results within a week of me following this tip so, this is a really important skin care tip guys definitely do it.

 

STEP 3:

PLUM GREEN TEA TONER


BUY NOW BUY NOW


Now on most days after washing my face I would go in with a toner and the one that I like is from Plum. This is the Plum Green Tea Toner. I've mentioned about this also in my previous blog so, will mention the link below.

In some days of the week, I use a face mask and I love masking especially because I wear a lot of makeup it really clears up my pores a lot so, I do the masking twice a week and scrub my face once a week.

The scrub that I use is the Bio Papaya Tan Removal Scrub. This is one of my favorite scrubs to use because it's very gentle on the skin and especially very good for sensitive skin.

Now I love masking so I keep alternating between face masks. The three masks that I am reaching out the most these days, the first one is from Good Vibes Papaya Glow Mask. I've done a full review on Good Vibes products so; I am going to link that blog below you can check it out.

The second one is the Banjaras it's the Multani Mitti Face Pack. It comes with sandalwood again I have done a review on this product as well.

The third one which is my holy grail and this is probably my third tub I don't even know. I love this, this is from L’Oréal it is their Pure Clay Charcoal Mask and this is so beautiful. It's also very popular, I like to use this once a week for sure because it cleans out all your pores and all the gunk in your pores.

Now another important tip is whatever skincare you are doing on your face please make sure you take it down your neck.

 

STEP 4:

DEVE HERBS PURE ROSE FLORAL WATER


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The next step after applying face mask is to go in with some rose water which will also act like a toner and the one that I am loving right now is from Deve Herbs Pure Rose Floral Water and this is a brand that I discovered very recently. I tried their vitamin E and I absolutely loved it. I talked about it in one of my blogs.

This line of products you guys is so pure and they are so beautiful. This rose water I cannot stop using since the time I got it and the vitamin E has always been my favorite. The only problem I have with their products is that there are no ingredients mentioned here. So, I highly recommend do check out their products maybe try one and then if you like you can invest in more.

Before using just shake this well, I always do that with my toners and then just spritz it all over your face. You have to be generous when you're putting any rosewater after you've removed your face pack because you have to hydrate your skin immediately and I like to just pat this rosewater in so, that it kind of hydrates my skin quickly.

 

STEP 5:

FACESHOP WHITE SEED SERUM


BUY NOW BUY NOW


For serum I am currently using the White Seed Brightening Serum. I bought this product very recently and loving it absolutely. If you have texture on your skin or you just need some hydration on your skin and you don't need a very heavy serum. I highly recommend this. I really like using this at night so, I just take two pumps and that's more than enough for me. I like to just warm this product on my fingers a little bit and then start from the center of my face and then spread it out. Obviously, you don't want to forget your neck and this is a serum which I feel is so light on skin. If you have sensitive skin, you have oily skin or combination skin you are going to love this. Even dry skin type people will love it for a fact I know that.

The only thing you have to do if you're a dry skin type, just go in with a little bit extra so, whenever your serum is absorbed in your skin just make sure you pat it in so very gently just tap your fingers all over your face.

 

ESTEE LAUDER NIGHT REPAIR SERUM


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The other serum that I really like using is from the Estee Lauder Advanced Night serum, very popular it's a cult favorite. This is a super expensive product. The smallest travel size bottle I think costs around 1200 or 1300 Rupees. A very pricey product but it is bomb, it's worth every single penny. I like to use this whenever I have a big conference next day to attend at work or if I have a function in the house, I just like to apply it. Instead of my other serum I like to go in with this.

You got to be a little generous with this. I know this is an expensive product but this really is worth your money so, but I only use this occasionally initially as I already mentioned.

 

STEP 6:

PLUM GREEN TEA NIGHT GEL


BUY NOW BUY NOW


It’s time for some good moisturizer after serum. There are two that I am absolutely loving at night, first being the Plum Green Tea Night Gel. If you have acne prone skin or if you have acne scars on your face, combination skin, oily skin, you can go ahead and use this. Even dry skin type people can use this, you just have to go in with a little bit extra.

 

FACE SHOP CHIA SEED FACE CREAM


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The second one that I use usually in the days when I remove makeup and my skin feels a bit drier so, I really like to go in with the Chia Seed No Intense Shine Hydrating Cream. This is something I really like to use especially after I removed my makeup. The other thing that I like to do is I mix some vitamin E oil in my skincare. I have mentioned this earlier as well I love women C and vitamin E in my skincare. It really makes your skin fight hydrated and supple. Vitamin E is very good for skin and this is the one that I am loving right now from Deve Herb Vitamin E oil it is really good and pure vitamin E.

What I like to do is I just like to mix two drops of vitamin E in my moisturizer whichever moisturizer I am using at night and then start from the center of your face and just spread out this moisturizer on the entire face. After applying this you will see with just two drops of vitamin E and what a beautiful sheen it has added on your face and your skin will feel so hydrated.

The other thing that I like to do if my skin is feeling very dehydrated especially after makeup it does happen. Then I just go in with a sheet mask after my face pack so, I will use a sheet mask and leave it on my face for about 20 minutes and that just really hydrates your skin. If you want to buy a sheet mask, I highly recommend the Faceshop one. They are very stunning especially the Faceshop Green Tea, Faceshop  Avocado and the Faceshop Aloe Vera one I really like them.

 

STEP 7:

BIOTIQUE BIO SEAWEED EYE GEL


BUY NOW BUY NOW


My next product is an eye cream and the one that I am loving right now is the Biotique Bio Seaweed Eye Cream. This is an eye gel, it's an anti-fatigue gel and really it is a beautiful product and this is in a gel form completely, it's a clear gel. Now this is not doing anything for my dark circles but honestly it does not claim anywhere on the packaging that it is for dark circles. It is however super hydrating and it gives a very lifted kind of a feeling and very cooling on the eyes so, I just like to very gently put it underneath my eyes and also on my lids.

Now you've got to be very gentle while you're putting your eye cream and the best way to do it is to just pack it in instead of rubbing it in and even if you are rubbing it make sure it's anti-clockwise the other way around. Don't do it clockwise please just make sure its anti-clockwise. The best way is to just pat it in.

 

STEP 8:

LANEIGE LIP SLEEPING MASK


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The last product that I have for you is lip balms, you guys know that I love lip pumps. I like to hydrate my lips practically all day long so, the one that I have here is from Laneige this is their Lip Sleeping Mask. It is a beautiful stunning lip mask, it's a great product. I really like this; it smells so beautiful, very subtle fragrance and it gives a very beautiful gloss to your lips.

This lip balm is so hydrating, if you have cracked or chapped lips just sleep off with this lip balm and next morning, you're going to wake up with plump hydrated juicy lips.

Now I have one more product recommendation for you. It's completely optional but I highly recommend. If you want long beautiful fluttery lashes include a castor oil in your eyelashes at night so, essentially before you're sleeping off just take a q-tip or a bud and apply some castor oil on your eyelashes. You have to be careful which castor oil you are buying because you're putting it on your eyelashes, it can go in your eyes as well. The one that I love and recommend is from Aloe Veda this is their Cold Pressed and Hexane Free Oil. Please make sure that you are using hexane free, this is really important to also recommend that your oil should be cold pressed.

So, my beauties with that it's a wrap. That was a very detailed night skin care routine from a skincare die heart fan and a passionate skincare lover. If you have any questions for me, feel free to leave them in the comment section below and until I see you next.

Take good care of yourself and your skin, and don’t forget to love yourself.

TEENAGERS & BEGINNERS - QUICK MORNING SKINCARE ROUTIN

by , in


 

Hi my beauties!

Today’s blog is going to be a morning skincare routine specially designed for beginners and for teenagers. So, today I am going to talk about some very affordable products and a very simple and effortless skincare routine that you can follow and stick to for a very long time.

Now without further ado let's dive right into this blog.

 

STEP 1:

SIMPLE REFRESHING FACE WASH


BUY NOW BUY NOW


So, guys diving right into this very simple and easy skincare routine, the first step would be to wash your face. For that I am straightaway going to go in with a foaming cleanser. The one that I have been loving and spoken about in my previous blog recently is the Simple Refreshing Facial Wash.

 if you're sensitive skin, acne prone you're going to love it. This is non stripping so even if you are dry skin or combination skin you are likely to like this product quite a lot. Also, it's super-duper affordable.

The trick to wash your face is simply wash it gently circular motions and just massage it into your skin for only 60 seconds nothing less and nothing more and that will do the job of cleansing for you.

 

STEP 2:

Now after washing my face with this one, I go ahead with a toner and since my skin is getting a little bit too dry these days although this face wash is not stripping but I am going to go in with a hydrating toner. The one that I recommend a lot for if you're a beginner or if you are in fact even if you're a pro at skincare. Honestly, especially if you're a teenager always go in with a good rose water.

 

KAMA AYURVEDA ROSE WATER


BUY NOW BUY NOW


I love the Kama Ayurveda Rose Water this is hydrating even if you have open pores this is going to do the job for you. This comes with a spritzing bottle. Now, whenever you use any sort of a spritzing toner make sure that you're generous with it especially if it is something like rose water and then go ahead and pat it into your skin. This patting motion really makes sure that the toner gets absorbed deep into the skin and it really settles down the toner faster because otherwise you'd have to wait to go in for the next skincare step.

I just like to very gently pat it into my skin and make sure you sprayed it on your neck also because every skin step needs to go on to your neck as well.

 

STEP 3:

Moving on to the next step of the skincare routine would be a serum. But if you're a beginner I would highly recommend to skip a serum and go for a facial oil. Simply drop a facial oil into your moisturizer so that's a two in one step.

So, after toner if you're a teenager immediately go in with a moisturizer and drop one or two drops of vitamin E oil or almond oil depending on your skin and then just gently massage it into your skin.

First for the adult and pro one a facial serum I would suggest my favorite one in the day is the Klairs Vitamin C Serum. The reason why I like to use this in the daytime is it also reverses sun damage. and of course, you can use it at night as well. This particular serum and any vitamin C serum is a good one at acne scars. It really helps lighten your acne scars as well.

So, if you are someone who has hyperpigmentation, if you have acne scars, if you have two-tone skin then this is the one, I highly recommend. I store this in the refrigerator because I want to keep it away from light and I like to cover it with a tissue paper so, that's how you can store it. You can store it outside as well but make sure the place is cool and dark because the bottle here is transparent.

Just to go ahead and drop three drops on your face and one drop on your neck. For the drop on your neck, you can also take it on your fingertips, press it in between and then just pat it into your skin, on the neck, on the face. Never rub your serums in a lot if you are rubbing be very gentle and don't apply a lot of force and just gently rub in circular motions then pat in then circular motions pat in and we're just going to pat in enough that the product has been absorbed well into the skin.

One other thing that you want to make sure if you're using a vitamin C serum especially something like this that comes in a transparent bottle make sure that you close the lid very tightly and also you store it in dark because if it comes in contact with oxygen or if it comes in contact with light, it is very likely to oxidize and it will turn yellow.

If yours is a little bit tad bit yellow it's fine but if it's too yellow likelihood is that it has already oxidized.

 

STEP 4:

 

DEVE HERBS ALMOND OIL


BUY NOW BUY NOW

Now this is the time when I like to go in with an eye cream or some sort of a hydration underneath my eyes and also some sort of hydration on my lips. So, a lip balm or I am going to do here is put almond oil underneath my eyes this will really hydrate my under-eye area and if you are going to go in with makeup on top then this will make sure that your concealer sets in place. I use the Deve Herbs Almond Oil, you can also use any Kama Ayurveda also has a beautiful almond oil.

Just take this on your ring finger like literally a drop and then just look down and press it underneath your eyes and then look up and very gently pat it, don’t rub it, be very gentle. This is also going to make sure to lighten you under eye area because almond oil is very good in treating darkness.

 

STEP 5:

VAADI LIP BALM - STRAWBERRY


BUY NOW BUY NOW


Now it’s time for a lip balm and the one that I’ve been loving absolutely is the Vaadi Lip Balm. It's so beautiful and the other one that I feel I love and have repurchased so many times is the Laneige Lip Balm but this one is really nice.

 

STEP 6:

Now that we already have the main layers of hydration underneath settled in nicely it’s time to go in with a hydrating moisturizer. I have two options here one for combination skin, oily skin and one for dry, very dry skin.

 

BIODERMA ATODERM INTENSIVE BAUME


BUY NOW BUY NOW


This is the one that I totally love is for dry or very dry skin, I’ve mentioned this many times that it works really well especially underneath makeup. I am talking about the Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Baume and the other option that I have if you have combination skin or oily skin is the Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion. It is great product; I’ve used this almost about to get empty really good product as well.  


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Baume, of course is my second tube. This is bomb of a moisturizer. While applying be generous at this step of the skincare routine especially with the moisturizer. Because you have to start from the center of your face and then you make sure that you put it on your neck as well.

Massage this very gently mostly in circular motions and upwards motions into your skin. After every step of layering just make sure that you pat everything into your skin. Also, it's such a relaxing motion, it really calms down any sort of puffiness on your face and even on your neck for that matter and whenever you're putting anything on your neck, please make sure that you're massaging upwards and not downwards because we don't want any sagging early signs of aging.

Now you will see that just with a very simple skincare routine your skin will look so plumped and so very well hydrated. It's not important to have a very lengthy skincare routine but what I would urge you whether you're a teenager beginner or a pro that you definitely have a skincare routine that you can follow on a daily basis twice a day. Keep it simple but definitely have good amount of hydration onto your skin and have some simple ingredients and some simple products into your skincare routine.

 

STEP 7:

Now moving on to the last step of the skincare routine and of course the most important one at that. Especially when you are using vitamin C and I do wear it every morning irrespective whether I am wearing a vitamin C serum or not I would definitely go in with a sunscreen whether I am indoors or outdoors.

I have stressed on the importance of wearing the sunscreen more than enough number of times guys because it's such an important step. If you're doing good skin care and not, applying sunscreen at the end you're, just putting everything down the drain so, just make sure that you have a good sunscreen and there are many affordable options out there.

 

L'OREAL UV PERFECT SUPER AQUA ESSENCE

The one that I am going to use today is the L’Oréal UV Perfect Super Aqua Essence. This is a very lightweight sunscreen and has an SPF of 50plus.  This also has UVA and UVB filters so, this is a perfect consistency also works very well under makeup.

The consistency of this is so lightweight that if your oily skin or if your combination towards oily you will feel that this is the perfect sunscreen for you, you've got to take a good amount to spread onto your entire face, again do not putting a lot of pressure while you massage anything do it with a very light hand in circular motions.

This has a little bit of fragrance, if you have any prone skin you might want to watch that out otherwise, I love the sunscreen. Also, you'll see it has a little bit of a tint to it which really brings out your skin and looks very beautiful even underneath your makeup.

Now with sunscreen I like to do one more thing and you got to be a little bit careful with this, on your ring finger take a little bit but in between your ring fingers look up and then just pat it underneath your eyes. It's really important to protect your eyes as well but just make sure that you're being careful with this step because a lot of chemical sunscreens tend to tingle in your eyes and it can be a little bit of a challenge for you to get rid of it post you've had it in your eyes. So, just make sure that you're being careful with this step. I like to just pat it in very gently and I don't take a lot I take very little and then just pat it underneath my eyes.

Also, don’t forget to apply it on your neck because we want to make sure that the neck is covered as well. For every skincare step like I keep saying on the neck I usually just like to bat or if I am massaging, I am going to go upwards a little bit.

Now I really like a nice dewy healthy sort of a base on a daily basis. I would just skip makeup; I am not a person who likes to wear makeup on a daily basis but when I am out, I do wear makeup and this is the perfect base to go on some sort of a makeup on top.

Even if it's heavy, I like to do light makeup but even if it's heavy makeup you can be rest assured that your skin will not feel cakey or dry in any way.

I love a very dewy sort of a skin and that's how I like to leave it at so, guys did you noticed that I have mentioned all the affordable products of course, except one which is a facial serum. But honestly, I’d highly urge you to invest in a good serum.

Of course, like I said if you're a teenager you can skip a serum altogether if you want to use some sort of a facial oil highly recommend a good vitamin E oil or a good almond oil if your dry skin and just add a drop or two in your skincare routine.

This skincare routine is super-duper simple and something that you can do on a daily basis. If you are someone who doesn't like a lot of fuss in your skin care routines then this is the one you can definitely go for.

With this my beauties it’s a wrap for this blog. If you have any query or want to suggest anything, feel free to comment down below.

Till then bye take care and don’t forget to love yourself.

Morning Skincare Routine 2021. Skincare For Healthy And Glowing Skin

by , in

 


Hello my beauties! Today’s blog is going to be very special and important as I am going to share my morning skincare routine which I was planning to share with you guys from so long and finally the time has come.

It's a skincare routine where I am going to be talking about my morning skincare, you will also learn how to layer the skincare routine in the morning and also the products that I have been using lately. The ones that I’ve been loving. I am also going to try and give you a couple of options in this particular skincare routine. So, without further ado we will dive right into this blog.

 

STEP 1:

The first step in my morning skincare routine is using a good face wash and there are two face washes that I am reaching out a lot for.

 

SIMPLE REFRESHING FACIAL WASH


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The first one of course no surprises, it is the Simple Refreshing Facial Wash. This is extremely gentle and it's 100% soap free. This is a very gentle formulation; it doesn't foam that much but foams enough to cleanse your face. You can use this in the morning and also in the evening. I would highly recommend this for anyone who has sensitive skin, if you're acne prone you are likely to really like this product. Overall, all skin types can use this product.

 

AVENE CLEANANCE FACE GEL


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The second face wash that I’ve been loving quite a lot of is the Avene Cleanance Face Wash. It's also a soap free product. They say it is for oily skin but I feel it's going to work on all skin types. This does have a little bit of fragrance. If your sensitive skin condition or if you have acne on your skin just make sure you patch test this on your neck, leave it on for a while and see how this actually works for you.

I use this in the morning and I really like that these foams fairly well. So, all of these products that you will see that are soap free. They don't lather a lot but that's not the idea of a face wash as far as it's cleansing your skin and I have already mentioned this in my previous blog that you have to wash your face for 60 seconds.

So, you take the face wash on your fingertips you massage it in for 60 seconds. I would say nothing more nothing less because too much would actually rip off your skin and too less may not cleanse your face that well.

 

STEP 2:

Moving on to the second step and my favorite step in a skincare routine especially in summers is using a toner and a face mist whatever you call it. Rose water has been my go-to product for years altogether but I wanted to experiment a little bit, try a little bit of a different product and I did try a couple of different face mists and toners. But this one is something that I am using quite a lot of I’ll tell you the reason why.

 

AVENE THERMAL SPRING WATER


BUY NOW BUY NOW


This is the Avene Thermal Spring Water. Now this is a product that I’d heard quite a lot. I wanted to try this and see how this works. I really like how this immediately hydrates the skin and it just gets absorbed in the skin. The mist on this one is superb as well.

The reason why I like this so much is because this is anti-irritating, if you have sensitive skin or inflamed skin this is definitely a product to go for. I love the mist on this one like I said and the other thing is its non-comedogenic so, if you have acne prone skin or if you have oily skin, you definitely would love this product

Otherwise, I would say this is a face mist and even a face toner that anyone can use. I have tried this during the day also sometimes when my skin feels dry. This one I felt really rehydrated my face even during the day.

 

STEP 3:

Moving on to the next skincare step, I love using a good facial serum. I feel it really can make a good difference in your skin so, post 24 or 25 years of age it's a good idea to include depending on what your skin needs a good facial serum. I have talked about different ones I will link that blog for you guys in case you want to choose a good one.

So, there's one particular facial serum if you've read my blogs, you would know that I love the Klairs Vitamin C Serum. I have loved that for a long time and I still continue to love that but I wanted to try something a little bit different.

 

EARTH RHYTHM GLOW DROPS SQUALANE + CAFFEINE


BUY NOW BUY NOW


What I have here is the Earth Rhythm Glow Drops. These are15% ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate drops and this also has squalane and caffeine. This overall is a brightening kind of a facial serum and I totally love the texture like I said. I needed something that's hydrating enough for my skin and this also has plant oils.

It's not greasy but it definitely has the oil consistency because it has squalane in it. Squalene is a very lightweight oil. So, I would say if you are combination skin even if you're oily but not heavily oily on your skin but if your oily skin, your dry skin and even if you are a combination skin, you are likely to love this product.

Now with serums particularly I feel you don't have to rub them in, you have to just press it into your skin because that way I’ve seen that they get absorbed in the skin a lot better. I love the fact that this has plant oils in it which is very good for the rejuvenating for the skin.

Whenever you're putting any sort of serum or facial cream or whatever kind of skincare you have to make sure that you're using that on your neck as well.

 

STEP 4:

Moving on to the fourth step, I will be using a good moisturizer and bear in mind irrespective of what your skin type is whether you're oily, acne prone you need to use a good moisturizer in your AM and in your PM routine basically to keep up the hydration of your skin.

On a side note, we've (I, my family and close friends with different skin types) been trying out a lot of different moisturizers. 

 

CETAPHIL MOISTURIZING LOTION


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The first option that I have is the Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion. I have spoken about this product, absolutely incredible, will work on so many different skins. I am on my second tube and I totally love it. I feel it's very lightweight. I used it in winters also and even in summers, in this weather extremely lightweight gets absorbed in the skin very easily.

 

SEBAMED MOISTURIZING CREAM


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The other product that I am currently absolutely obsessed with other than Cetaphil is the Sebamed Moisturizing Cream with 2% vitamin E. Incredible formulation very different one at that. I have already talked about this in my previous blog and I will mention the link of that down.

I am just going to tell you about this product right now is that I totally love it. The texture is really lightweight and beautiful texture. Love the fact that Sebamed products are balanced on the ph. and that's something that they've really taken care of on a lot of their products. Even though it's a cream it gets absorbed super-duper easily on the skin. This one in particular works very well underneath makeup as well so, if you're a makeup wearer you are likely to love this product.

 

STEP 5:

Moving on to the next and the most important step of your skincare routine. I keep talking about this quite a lot is a good sunscreen. There are two that I reach out for quite a lot.

 

L’OREAL UV PERFECT SUPER AQUA ESSENCE


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The first one no surprises are the L’Oréal UV Perfect Super Aqua Essence, incredible sunscreen, you get great protection here. It's SPF 50+ and PA++ double, long UVA. It's a great sunscreen in terms of its texture, in terms of the way it sits on the skin. I would say again a product that's going to work on many different skin types. It's extremely lightweight and the best thing is it does not leave a white gust. I am not a fan of sunscreens that actually leave a white glass because it really acts as a layer, it shows up like a proper layer on your skin.

 

RE’EQUIL OXYBENZONE AND OMC FREE SUNSCREEN


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The second sunscreen that I totally love, completely obsessed with other than the L’Oréal one is the Re’equil Oxybenzone and OMC Free Sunscreen. Again, you get great protection here you get SPF 50, PA triple plus broad spectrum and the texture also is really nice. It's a little bit thick than the L’Oréal one but you will see it gets absorbed in the skin very easily. It's not runny in any way it's a proper cream and it's really lightweight.

This one also leaves no white cast and gives you that beautiful kind of a hydration on the skin as well. If you are dry skin you are going to like this product. In fact, both the sunscreens I feel is for all different skin types can actually use this.

Now that completes my morning skincare routine but there's one more step that I do once a week for exfoliation because I do like to exfoliate my skin so, a very simple thing that I do is I use a face scrub which is physical exfoliation. To be honest with you I have always liked physical exfoliation a tad bit better than chemical exfoliation. It just gets rid of all sort of dead skin and just works slightly better for my skin I feel. I like chemical exfoliation as well but the physical form of it has worked better for my skin always.

 

BIOTIQUE BIO PAPAYA FACE SCRUB


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The facial scrub that I use and I know a lot of you guys like this product and it works really well for me is the Biotique Bio Papaya Revitalizing Facial Scrub. This is a product that I have used quite a lot. This works very well for my skin and whatever peeling skin that I was having around my nose it got rid of that as well.

I have heard a few of you said it's a little bit harsh. To be honest with you I use this from my ring finger so, I am just using circular motions on my face and I don't apply a lot of pressure so it doesn't feel very hard on my skin. Once I’ve scrubbed my face for a good two minutes or two and a half minutes what I go ahead and do is I apply a good facial face mask and I like using something which is a clay base mask basically because it gets rid of all the impurities and basically cleanses your pores and also helps with any sort of blackheads or whiteheads.

 

INNISFREE SUPER VOLCANIC PORE CLAY MASK 2X

BUY NOW BUY NOW



The one that I totally love is the Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2x. These are the two products that I use once a week to exfoliate my skin.

So, guys with that it's a wrap I really hope that you enjoyed reading this blog and were able to take away some products that are going to be suitable for your skin. Let me know in the comment section below your opinion.

Take good care of yourself and don’t forget to love yourself.
