The Daily Skincare Regimen

All of us know that having a good skincare regimen is important in maintaining soft, baby complexion But, does everyone knows what are the exact steps to maintaining good skin-in the long run? There is a chinese saying that goes ” Shi jie shang mei you lan nu ren, zhi you chou nu ren”, and it simply means that there is no ugly woman in the world, just lazy woman.Therefore, how your complexion will be is determined by how well you take care of it-how much effort you put in to maintain your complexion on a day-to-day basis.

So, what are the procedures of a daily skincare regime? All of us surely knows the basic procedures:

1)Cleanser

2)Toner

3)Serum/Boosters

4)Moisturiser/Night Cream for night

5)Sunblock(to be skipped at night)

But before purchasing the right products for your skin, you will firstly need identify your own skin type.Your skin type is determined by how much or how little oil your skin produces. Genes, diet, stress level, medication & even your skincare regimen all determine how much oil your skin produces. Is your skin oily, dry, normal, combination( dry/oily) or sensitive as different products will cater for different skin types for the optimum results. Buy only products that suit your skin type.

Personally for me, i have sentitive skin, therefore, i am very careful with the product that i use From cleanser to sunblock to mask!

Here goes my skincare regimen:

1)DermalogicaUltra calming cleanser

2)Dermalogica Multi Active Toner

3)Dermalogica Gentle soothing booster

4)Dermalogica Skin Soothing cream

5)Dermalogica Ultra sensitive sunblock (SPF 25)

Ok ok ok, seriously, i think Dermalogica should pay me for advertsing for them, haha. I am a hard core fan! But seriously, i love their products and have been using them for nearly 4 years now! Their products are great for sensitive skin like mine.

Using a face scrub once a week is also essential to exfoliate all the dead skin , but please do take note that excessive exfoliation will cause your skin to be very sensitive and even aggravate pimples,so exfoliating once a week is more than enough. Using masks two-three times a week will only replenish your skin with additional moisture and deep detox that your skin needs. I love using masks and i do masks like 4 times per week,and sometimes i will do my mask while i spa - and i love doing DIY masks too! Masks are so relaxing and pampering to our skin and it adds the additional radiance to our skin, making our skin feels supple after every use. Some good recommendations will be the hydrating masque from Dermalogica and it is for all skin types and origins charcoal masque which is for deep cleansing purposes.

I hope this entry will help gals out there who are clueless on the steps and procedures of the daily skincare regime and start taking care of our skin now before it is too late! Will give you all more information on the recipes of the DIY masks that i usually do at home in upcoming entries…….
