I was a type of person who did not understand the importance of skin care routines,
until I found out that...
Every time, I touched my cheeks and nose areas, I felt the thickness and dryness in my skin. Large pores, white heads and black heads appeared and worsened its look. Not only that, I felt like my fair skin looked very dull and tired, so that it didn't glow, at all.
Well, I admitted it that I used to have bad habit for skin care routine. I cleaned my face just with baby soap and rarely used moisturizer. I also went outside without any sunscreen, so that, my skin was exposed to sunlight a lot. No wonder, my skin condition was really bad.
So after (lil' bit) stressful days, I decide to change my habit and have my own daily skin care routine. But before I go to far with wrong routines, I did little research about my current skin type. All the sources said that I have dry skin. I also took quiz on Renee Rouleau website and I got the detailed information, as below:
Knowing my skin type is really important to avoid the wrong treatment and product. Therefore, the skin care routine can be affected well to my skin, instead of creating another breakout. As a beginner, I do not want to do too many steps (like Korean Skin Care Routine) because I need adjustment first. So that, These step are well enough to be followed:
1.
Cleanser:
After doing
activity outside, you need the product which can clean your face perfectly. If
you are a type of person who can’t live without makeup, then face wash surely can’t
be enough, especially for your waterproof
make up. Therefore, it is better to add the make up remover as your cleanser
list.
Me who
rarely put make up too much, clean my face with jhonson and jhonson rice and milk soap as my face wash. This baby
soap is really light even it will fit for sensitive skin. After that, I use
Bioderma Sensibio micellar water to remove the leftover dirt.
2. Toner:
Toner is
also important for your skin care routine. Toner is used to freshen and clean
your face. It also can help you to absorb your day and night cream easier.
3. Serum:
Serum is
useful to give good intake to your skin. Your skin can regenerate well, so that
it will be more bright, thight, and elastic. For now, I am using Olay
Brightning Serum to brighten my skin.
4. Sun
Screen:
People
always says that sunscreen is a mandatory! And I agree with that. Sunscreen will protect you from the UV light.
It will affect your skin health, so that skin aging can easily occur. There are
various type of sunscreen, but for daily using, it is better to choose the
sunscreen with spf 30 at least.
5. Day
& Night Cream:
If the sunscreen is mandatory, but not for day and night cream, I think.
I just use night cream from Olay for my night skin care routine. For my morning skin care routine, I just use sunscreen because It is enough to moisturize and protect my skin. Moreover, I don't like too many product in my skin, so that I always use product that I really need.
That's all my story about skin care routine!
Well, I am a beginner now. So there may be several things that I should know more. If you have something to share, please kindly let me know. I woukd love to discuss with you.
