(sorry with the poor quality of the picture took it with my webcam haha. It's like 1am over here. I couldn't sleep so I thought I should blog HAHA! I promise I will use my ACTUAL camera camera... next time! TEEHEE! It's me trying to look stress haha~)
SOOOOOOOO! perfect skin!!!! Thats like a dream.... AHHHHHH! Imagine life without going with makeup? ok I'm exaggerating. Minimal makeup maybe. haha!I want perfect skin because:
1. I'm too lazy to put on makeup everyday.
2. I want people to recognise me without makeup.
3. I want to look pretty everyday!!!!
Everything damage our skin. The sun, polluted air, air-con, weather, fried food... I can go on and on about this but I think you all get my point. Many think that we can fake a perfect skin with makeup. Yes, you are right! Provided that you are a skillfully trained makeup artist with all the equipments like air bush foundation and stuff. Anyway, you need to have good skin for easier application of makeup. It's like why painters paint on white canvas.
(I'm being super brave ok! This is a picture of me without makeup!)
After understanding the importance, let's get down to work!
Step 1: GOOD FACIAL WASH AND FACIAL SCRUB!
Facial wash that I'm using: White powder wash by kose
Facial Brush: Olay professional pro x
Facial Scrub: Natio Gentle Facial Scrub
Gosh I can't stress how important cleaning your face is. Should you not clean your face properly, dirt and oil is gonna pile up on your face and clog up all the pores causing you alllllllll sorts of problems. Anyway! There are plenty of facial wash in the market with different purpose! I like whitening facial wash as the sun in Singapore is CRAZY! I love Korean and Japanese facial wash products as I find them the most effective. The problem is WHEN do you wash your face with facial wash? DEFINITELY wash before your daily skincare routine at night! Should your face be normal/dry skin type, you can wash with plain water in the morning. If it's oily, go ahead and use the facial wash.
This is the one that I'm using. It's super cool! IT'S IN THE FORM OF POWDER!!!! HOW DO THEY EVEN? OH GOSH THOSE JAPANESE ARE GOOD! All you do is wet your hand, pour out a little and clean!
IT'S REALLY POWDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! OMGAWD
For me, I used to wash my face with my hands until they started producing facial brushes. Neutrogena wave brush was like a joke to me. Felt like it wasn't clean at all mannnnnn! Than Olay to the rescue! The brush tips are so darn fine and it really improved my skin alot! My nose used to have little blackheads but the condition improved so much after one month of consistent usage.
Anyway! it's totally waterproof and has two different speed with a replaceable brush head. I was quite skeptical but I just bought it anyway... This is awesome. ZERO regrets.
I bought this my last haul! hehe... I find that it's not as rough as the other scrubs that I have tried. Feels clean and gentle on skin!
Ok step 2: Tone and moisturize!
Toner and moisturizer works hand in hand. Toner cleans the very last bit of dirt on your face, however can dry up your face so apply moisturizer after! HYDRATE AND HYDRATE!
I'm currently using this Korean brand of toner and moisturizer called Dr. G! I find the products are easily absorbed and it's really good! The moisturizer came with a scoop omg! I LOVE IT! (I find it disgusting to scoop directly from the jar with my fingers...)
That's about it! The BASICS!!!!!!
Now... for the advanced!
MY MORNING ROUTINE!
I would wash my face with water followed by some toner. After that, I would use this day cream- Natio renew radiance day cream. It feels oily at first, but after it will not be after it's absorbed into your skin. I would also use facial sunblock before I leave my house as the UV rays will cause us to age prematurely and damage our skin.
My makeup remover
Do you know that you have to use makeup remover to remove sunblock on your face if not your face will age 5 times faster???? OMGAWD! I'm currently using Chanel makeup remover. I feel that it does clean pretty well but its super oily :( The good thing is this is a all in one cleanser! It's a face+ eyes + lips makeup remover! BRILLIANT!
My Facial Mist!
For people who spend a considerable amount of time in air-conditioned rooms, it reallllyyyyyy dries up your skin. It's really important to keep it hydrated! I use this Natio refreshing facial mist. I used the face shop facial mist previously but the fruity smell was too strong for my liking. This Natio facial mist doesn't really have a smell and it can be absorbed into your skin in less than 5 seconds. The good thing that it doesn't only refreshes your skin, it FRESHENS your makeup! HOW COOL IS THAT!
Lastly, wanting to get a perk me up? Need to go on a date tomorrow? Or a job interview? TA-DA I introduce you my favorite part of my skin care regime. FACIAL MASKS!!!!! I use this thing called ampoule first follow by my masks as I find that my skin becomes really nice after that! It's supple and really hydrated. Helps prevents oily skin and wrinkles haha! ready to see my collection???
I keep all of my skin care in my mini fridge as I find that it closes my pores...
Anyway, I use this brand of ampoules- ceutical! I love this so much that I bought ALOT of them. It's quite cheap! you can find them on Gmarket hehe! I have collagen (prevention is better than cure) and hydrating and whitening... Idk what I just bought alot! see the white boxes on the first shelf? yeah those are my ampules haha! I find that it's cheap and effective...
Ok NEXT! my facial masks! It extends all the way below the chin and you hook it onto your ears! Tightening effects! NO NO NO DOUBLE CHIN! too lazy to take a photo so I just grabbed it from sasa's webbie hehe!
How do we go about with this pampering treat?
Wash- tone- ampoule- mask (massage the remaining essence into your face after)-tone (to remove the remaining essence that can't be absorbed into your face) and lastly moisturize
Oh Oh! Never forget the eyes as they are windows to our souls :) I LOVE BEAUTIFUL EYES! I use eye cream and eye mask!! In case you are wondering, yes, I have foot masks too. haha! My feet needs pampering after the torture! It's actually more about preventing cracked heels as I find that SO NOT SEXY. Here's a picture of my foot masks because I feel like it! HEHE! WARNING: MAY CAUSE DISCOMFORT! hahaha! SEE YOU NEXT POST!
XOXO,
Cynthia
