How to: skincare routine.



So i thought i`d share  how to do the whole skincare routine.

 And in what order it`s all supposed to be Applied.

It can be a little confusing and maybe overwhelming with all the different products.

 

 



From start to finish:

 

1. Cleanser

 

   Cleanse your face every day ,morning and night,

   with a gentle cleanser for your skin type.

   Use warm water (on a face cloth)  to soften skin first,

   apply the cleanser,massage it on your face for about 30 sek,then wipe off With the cloth.

   If you have a lot of makeup on it can be a good idea to cleanse twice,to get the residue off.
Do not use a face cleanser to remove eye makeup,unless it specifies
on the bottle. Use a proper eye makeup remover, or you can use coconut oil,
works great,and it`s natural.

 

2.Toner

A toner , both removes excess makeup your cleanser didn`t
and prep the skin for the serum and moisturizing.
There are a huge variety of toners,for the most sensitive skin
to oily .You apply it on a Cotton pad and swipe over Your face,
neck and decolletage (chest area).
Stay Clear of the eye area!!



3. Serum

 

Serum is a  potent pre moisturizing skin treatment.

active ingredients to look for in a serum, if you have a more mature skin or breakouts:

Hyaloronic acid:moisture binding/plumping (anti aging)

Retinol: Stimulates cell turnover (anti aging)

Vitamin C: UV-damage protection

Alpha Hydroxy, Glycolic, Lactic: Cuts through upper layers of skin

Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid: Penetrates deep into pores to treat and prevent breakouts
Apply it on Your face ,neck and decolletage,like you would a moisturizer.

 



4.Moisturizer

 

Comes in a cream or gel, apply to the face,neck and decolletage a few minutes after the serum.

Get a moisturizer with spf 20 or higher. (if you have fair skin,spf 50 is best)
 

 



 

5.Eye cream

 

Eye cream is used to treat the under eye area, if you have

 wrinkles ,dark circles or get puffy/swelling.
Use Your ring finger to gently apply the cream.
the eye area is very delicate.

Salt scrub recipe!

 

 

I`ve always been very into taking care of my skin....and most of all , how to keep my skin looking young, or at least as young as possible.

 

So when i learned that the basic thing to to is to use a scrub/exfoliate , i had to try it.

You see the reason why just cleansing and moisturizing isn`t enough is because for any of it to work ,you need to get rid of the layer of dead skin cells covering your face. (yup,pretty yucky)

 

If you want beautiful skin, you gotta start exfoliate sweetheart!

Cleansing and slather on any old cream,simply won`t do!

 

 

So i thought i`d share my recipe with you.

 

What you need:

 

-Extra Virgin coconut oil (or organic sweet almond oil,or grape seed oil)

-Essential oil like lavender,tea tree, lemon ,patchouli etc (whatever tickles your fancy)
-Salt ,preferably dead sea salt ,or Epsom ,or sea salt.

Recipes!

 



Lemon  scrub                                     
(Invigorating)

Juice of 1/2 a lemon (grate a little of the zest to add to the scrub)
1/2 cup salt
2-3 tbsp coconut oil.
5 drops of lemon essential oil (optional)

Mix ingredients ,and store in an airtight container.
you can also use lime or grapefruit instead of a lemon. just beware that you use more lime juice and less grapefruit juice ,as the fruits are different in size from the lemon.

 

Lavender Scrub
(relaxing)

1/2 cup salt
5 tablespoons oil
5 drops lavender oil

mix the ingredients and put in an airtight container.
(if the mix is too "dry" add more oil, if to wet dd more salt)



These are just a couple of recipe ideas, if you have the salt and oil (the base for the scrub)
you can add any scent/essential oil you want . as long as its Natural and not synthetic.
There are so many variations you can make,just be creative.



So how often should you scrub?

If you have sensitive skin, no more than 1-2 times a week.
If you have normal to oily (or acne prone skin) 2-4 times a week.but never two days in a row.

Good Luck and enjoy!!

 

 

Have a beautiful day!
