5 Skincare Steps

Hi Sweeties!

This is my first entry of my blog which i just started! (Like a finally right?) hahaha.
This will be a start where i will start posting blogs about beauty tips. Heex.

Okie for my first entry will be about skincare products. Yesh! SKINCARE!
Why Skincare you must ask. Skincare is important because it helps to keep our skin looking as youthful and healthy. Thats why I will show you the reasons why do we need to properly cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize your skin, and not forgetting to  leave the house without at least 30 SPF sunscreen.

Here is a basic 5 Skincare Steps

Step 1: Cleansing
You need to find a good cleanser that your skin feels comfortable and responds well too. You can find a good cleanser at any drugstores, no need to spend over $50 on a fancy wash.  While you should wash your face every night to get rid of those dirt and free radicals that can clog pores, you should be careful of over cleansing. Skin that feels taut and tight after cleansing is a clear sign that you may be over cleansing or using too harsh a cleanser for your skin type! SO DO NOTE!


Step 2: Exfoliate 

Most people would skip this step in their weekly routine. Trust me, you will see immediate results when you start to properly exfoliating your skin.

As we age, cell turnover slows down and dead skin cells can give us a dull complexion. Exfoliating the face helps to get rid of the dead top layers of skin. This allow moisturizers and serums to better penetrate the skin. Only exfoliate with a scrub once a week. Don't over-exfoliate as it will result in tearing of skin. Rub your product in a circular motion for 30 seconds and then rinse off with lukewarm water.

                                                  

One of my favorite is using Bobbi Brown Buffing Grains. These luxurious grains can be mixed with any cleanser or even water to create a fully customized, gentle exfoliator for the face. What's so good is that you can add in the amount of grains required. :D Formulated with Japanese Adzuki Bean powder, it helps to remove dry surface patches and encourage skin cell turnover, leaving your face soft, smooth and glowing.

Step 3: Toner
Toners help to remove any remaining residues of oil, makeup or dirt. If there is any residues, that means you having been cleaning properly!!! It also helps to restore and balance skin, leaving it soft, soothed and perfectly prepared for the treatment products to follow.


Step 4: Moisturizer

This is something we girls cannot go without. Of course depending on the climate, we need to improvise on the type of moisturizer we should go for. If you naturally have dry skin, you should invest in a basic moisturizer. When your skin if tight, it means that it's crying out for moisture. However be careful not to over-moisturize - this can clog pores.


Step 5: Sunscreen

This is something important that most people that for granted! The number one cause of wrinkles is sun damage, so it's important to use a sunscreen of at least 30 SPF especially in such a warm and humid weather. Please don't use sunscreen at night as it can aggrave the skin.


Thats all for today's beauty tip!
