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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
