Skin Care Routine

Over the years, I've tried several routines to cleanse my skin, particularly my face. During those teenage days, I've only used baby soap, as my skin tend to break out if I soap it with harsh products. But as I aged, I noticed that the texture of my face would change. Sometimes it's so dry that I'd see patches seeping through my makeup, but most of the time it's so oily, I could fry.

Here's my current skin care. First I wash my face using Crabtee & Evelyn's Avocado, Olive and Basil soap. It's not harsh at all. All natural. I usually rinse it with just tap water. Right after my face is dry, I'd scrub it with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Brown Sugar mixture. A concoction I've learned from researching things on the internet. I would also apply Olive Oil on my hair and leave it for about 45mins.

Right after I scrubbed and rinsed my face, I'd tone my face using Hydrogen Peroxide. I know, it's not meant for the face. But hey, I'd just learned it from a beauty guru in youtube. To be honest, I've only been using it for a couple of days. So, the verdict has yet to be determined.

After that, I'd use Avon's Peel Off Mask in Cucumber. It's said to have triple action such as purifying, soothing and energizing. And this, my friends, have been living up to its promises. I just leave it for 10-15mins and after peeling it off, my skin feels refreshed and smooth.

Another product I've been using for awhile now is Nivea Creme. The one that comes in a blue canister. Oh! This one's a holy grail! I also use this to moisturize my face before applying makeup, and it holds everything right in place, all day long. It also claims to be the "Most sold moisturizer worldwide" and I can see why.

And with this routine, I found my face to be smoother, my break outs lessened. So, if anyone comes across this post and tried some of the products I've used, please let me know in the comment section down below. I'd also love to know whether it worked for you or not.

Ciao!
