DIY? Die? 🙈

But anywho, I'm not really into skincare as I should be. I always say I just realized I had a face a couple months ago lol. I never put face makeup or any special skincare products on it before my revelation.

Sooo day:
-noxema daily scrub
Or Clarisonic with Cetaphil (for oily skin)

Night;
-remove makeup with olive oil
-Cetaphil (with or without the clarisonic. I freaking lost my charger 😭😭😭)

I have to agree with you Olivia so many weird things. I just like to use my face wash by Clinique with my rose water as my toner and my perfect potion moisturiser

Speaking of routine, if you are really lazy like I am sometimes, I just use a face wipe and go to sleep. It's better than nothing :) it removes all the impurities in your skin by the end of the night

Toning isn't like bleaching haha! Though I understand where you would think that 😄 it's not for everybody, but it helps reduce the oils in the skin and that's the reason why I use a toner. For face wipes I am in love! With Nivea face wipes I just love their argan face wipes. They smell amazing. This is bad to admit but I wear a full face everyday and perhaps 1 or 2 days out of the week I would only use a face wipe because I'm too lazy to walk across the cold tiles.

You might hate this bit gorgeous, but just remember what works for one lady may not work for you. Took me about 5 years to get it down to the tee :)

No, it hasn't played a part in my oily skin. It's a very gentle makeup remover (doesn't burn my eyes) yet very potent (it removes every drop of makeup quickly in one swipe)

Morning: Wash, tone, spot treat a bit if needed, and then moisturize with a moisturizer that has SPF 15 or higher (using SPF 30 now cuz I'm 23), and if I'm not in a rush I'll dab on a bit of eye cream, but I usually use a really moisturizing one at night. Then I like to make sure to use a face powder or foundation/cc cream/whatever that also provides SPF.
Night: Remove all makeup, cleanse, exfoliate (every two days or every other day depending on how my skin is feeling), tone, Vitamin-C serum, spot treat if needed, night moisturizer, and then eye cream.
Products I use: *I alternate them too, so there is no real set time I use any of them*
-Shiseido: Pureness Deep Cleansing Foam
-Body Shop: Tea Tree Skin Clearing Skin Wash
-Dermalogica: Daily Microfoliant (good dupe is the Bareminerals Exfoliating Treatment Cleanser)
-Mario Badescu: Glycolic Foaming Wash (Glycolic acid is a exfoliating treatment that I use once a week, I alternate it out with any scrub)
-Mario Badescu: Kiwi Scrub
-Mario Badescu: Cucumber Cleansing Lotion (toner)
-Lush Cosmetics: Grease Lightning (spot treatment)
-IsClinical: Active Serum (samples from where I work)
-a variation of eye cream samples, but mostly Teamine Eye Complex for dark circles and fine lines

BTW: THE REASON FOR ALL THINGS SKINCARE (I work for a skincare company)
*Toner-it preps the skin to receive moisture or serums better by removing debris from the skin and allowing the serum/moisturizer to seep into the pores more effectively
*Exfoliant-it helps to slough off dead skin cells that sit on the top layer of skin, and it helps with the absorbency of moisture as well. Plus over time, if you're not exfoliating think about those dead skin cells as little sharp blades that will cut into your skin over time like a chisel. They actually will make fine lines and wrinkles worse!
*Moisturizer-Whether you're oily or not you need to moisturize! At night especially! When you sleep your skin regenerates itself and it absorbs TWO TABLESPOONS of moisture while you're sleeping! It's also important to use on in the day too that contains an SPF of 15 or higher, though I recommend 30 or higher. This will help fend off dark spots and environmental damage.
*Cleansing-Obviously to remove makeup, oil, or any debris. It's especially important at night before you go to bed. When you don't remove your makeup before you sleep or just wash your face, YOUR SKIN AGES BY SEVENTEEN DAYS!!!
*Serums-They are all designed to do different things. Vitamin-C is the most popular for it's benefits toward fighting off free-radicals and environmental damage in the skin. It's great for brightening, evening, and helping with acne. Vitamin-C is a natural antioxidant. You want your skin to absorb all of its yummy goodness!

Sorry this was a long post, but I really thought you needed to know this!

I live in S. Korea where people are so skin conscious as a result I became ome of them. Korean beauty products are known for there natural ingredients and are really high quality at a reasonable price. I start my day with an AC cleanser containing salycilic acid to avoid breakouts. I often use l'orea l 360 cleansers and the cleansing tool that comes with it. I rinse my face with luke warm water to open up my pores and my final rinse is cold water to close my pores. Then I move on with my toner and moistirizer. I use the same toner at day and night but different moisturizers. My night moisturizer is more soothing and has minty effect it helps soothes my skin and make it relax while my daytime is more moisturizing and smoother texture which helps hold my make up better. I also have two different eye creams for night time and daytime - night time is more moisturizing and daytime has caffeine to help my eyes look more awake and combats dark circles. I exfoliate at least once a week using l'oreal 360 clean exfoliator. Twice a month I use sleeping mask to give my skin extra treat. For my body I use salt scrubs with milk tp exfoliate and a separate foot scrub for my feet which I can't sleep without applying any. Call me crazy but I have a lot of skin care products I can't live without.
