My Skincare regimen

How possible that i forgot to write down about skincare. Actually it's universal, almost everybody use  skincare products. Even the woman who doesn't wear make up, she also doesn't want the skin look more worth than it should be. Well , let's talk about my skin care routine.

First of all, I have a combination skin and always looking for the products that can moisten my U zone but do not make my T zone more greasy. Also helps to minimize the pores,dark spots from the sun and acne,freckles,wrinkles etc. Is that too much? ha ha but i worry about the wrinkles and firmness the most.

A.M. regimen

Cleansing : DHC olive soap
which enriched with olive leaf extract and olive virgin oil. I'd ever think that soap give the skin dryness but it doesn't happen when i use this soap.In the other hand it leave my skin softness.I love it! just a bit pricey. And another one i like is Smooth E baby face foam ,the price is 2 times cheaper then DHC .It's soap free, pH balance , enriched with vitamin E and it works well to reduce the scar or the spots from acne. Anyway when winter time and my skin goes dry,i switch  to Clarins gentle cleanser with Shea butter.It said for dry or sensitive skin but it worked good on my combination skin as well.

Serum: Estee lauder night time repair 
Normally I use this product day and night but then i try another product as a night time serum so I skip that a little bit. I must say that this is my  1st serum. It helps to recovery my skin more radiant and more firm.I will continue using it especially if the price go down.



Moisturizer: Clinique Dramatically different moisturizing lotion for skin type 2 (step 3)

I love this product because it absorb to my skin very quick and not greasy. Sometimes when I was in a hurry,after cleansing I used only this one then make up. I didn't use step 1 and 2 from clinique because I like another products more.




Day cream : Clinique youth surge with SPF 15 for dry combination skin

The reason that i like it because it 's hypoallergenic , fragrance free and still moisten my skin but doesn't leave any grease on my face.I didn't expect much that it helps reduce my wrinkles. In that point I believe only Botox. Sometimes i switch to Vichy lifeactiv cxp.also a good one,cheaper than the one from clinique just it was made for all skin type so during the day my skin a little bit oily<not much> . It's very important that my skin doesn't get greasy before I apply make up. Otherwise my make up gonna break out during the day.

Eye : Clarins eye revive beauty flash 
It's not easy to find the eye cream that can reduce the darkness, puffiness and fine line in one tube. Especially it worked fantastic like what it said around my eyes.




Lip care : I  have no favorite yet. For me the best lip care is Vaseline pure petroleum jelly but not for  the morning time.

P.M. regimen

Cleansing : DHC Deep cleansing oil
Massage gently all over the face and rinse off with water to remove all the make up. I really like this cleansing because it works very quick and clean even the waterproof make up or sunscreen. You need to massage about 30 second when your face and fingertips are not wet.Then follow with DHC olive soap to clean up the skin. It seems the blackheads  go less since I use the product.


Toner & moisturizer : DHC Balancing lotion

Tap gently with the cotton pad or hands. It said for helping the oil control,moisturise and pH. balance. I just try this product few days ago so I can't give any comment on this product yet.





Serum : Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing concentratewith 10.5% pure vitamin C 
It said that help for reduce the wrinkle and fine line. But for me the result is my skin get more radiant,firmer,and the freckle fade away.About the fine line and wrinkle  are still there for me ,never leave me as a good friend.






Another serum i want to talk about is Lancome blance expert melanolyser spot eraser.I'd never used that for myself because I don't like to have a lighter skin color ,I like a sexy tanned skin. But my sister and my friend used that and they said the dark spot fade away and the pore seems smaller and the skin looks lighter.
Night cream : I like to try from many brands,pricey like la mer,cheap like nivea,middle-range like estee lauder,clinique,lancome,drug store like vichy etc. But I must say 'I couldn't find any difference between them. So use something that suit with your skin ,don't have to be expensive.Nowadays I use clinique youth surge night or vichy lift activ cxp night
depending on my mood. One of the reasons that I take the brands because the gifts set which come with the products.

DHC olive virgin oil

I can't classify this product as a night cream or serum or essence or what. But it's a facial olive oil. I apply after balancing lotion on damp face and nothing more.I mean that when i used this oil ,I didn't use any serum or night cream. At the beginnig I heard a lot of people talk about this product in positive way and I didn't belive that because it's an oil. But when i appied it at the night and woke up in the morning. I felt my skin very soft and look healthy but it didn't leave any grease on my face.This is also one of my favorite skincare.



Eye care : same as A.M.
Lip care: Vaseline pure petroleum jelly

 Until now this is the only thing can leave my lip softness when I wake up and the price is so cheap.So why go for the fancy thing.







1-2 time per week
Exfoliator & mask
exfoliator and mask are necessary.It helps to remove the dead skin or roughness. Then the skincare can absorb to your skin better.Some contains the essence to make your skin more vibrant and radiant. If you are a person who wear make up,you should notice that after scrub and mask,you make up go smoother on you skin. I like to use clinique 7 day scrub when i need to gentle exfoliate and Estee lauder perfectly clean fresh balancing exfoliator for extreme exfoliation.What i like the most is clinique turnaround instant facial masque because it all in one mask and scrub. I can feel the softness and radiance after used it.

When I have an acne

Strangely that I never had an acne when I was a teenager. But it came after i was 25. I notice that an acne appear when I take too much chocolate. One spot each time but ruin all my confidence. So I need help

vichy normaderm active anti-imperfection concentrate  Apply 2-3 times per day.My acne was reduced within 3-5 days depend on the how big it is. I don't know if it works well with everybody but for me it's just perfect.The best way to do when you have acne is avoid  touching it. If it go worst, you should visit the doctor.
In my opinion "the healthy skin is based on many things" not only which skincare you use. But also from the life style. If you always have stress, never go exercise, like smoking, no good rest,drink alcohol, no eat vegetable. whatever skincare you use,it doesn't help. So you are the way you live your life.
