SKIN CARE ROUTINE FOR A TROPICAL GAL
Living in a country with weather as predictable as a teenage girl, the skin care that we must take is quite serious. With lots of Sunscreen and moisturizers, it’s just not enough. It takes a daily routine in day and night to keep your skin cared for and to have that glow that everybody wants. So, where do I start? There are a lot of stuff out there, whether it’s vegan or regular products. Can I use drug store or do I need expensive products? I do both, there are some really good products out there, you just need to find the perfect one for your skin.
I’m not a doctor, so this recommendations are based on my skin type, which is regular oily skin. I do not have that many spots, but I’m sensitive to UV light, so I tend to use a stronger sunscreen and spend more time indoors. My skin is basically 5 steps, in the morning and three steps at night, because sometimes I’m too tired for anything.
CLEANSER:
This part I do it while taking a shower, the cleanser is a bright spot to start your day. I use the Neutrogena Skin Balancing Purifying Gel Cleanser with 2% PHA, sounds like a mouthful, but it does the job. Perfect for sensitive skin that would like to exfoliate a little bit their face as well, without irritating your pores. I use this every day, it’s a bit expensive in the country, but my dermatologist is the ultimate Neutrogena fan girl, so here goes.
TONER:
But what is this? It removes dirt, any remaining makeup or dust on your face. I use this like three times a week, when I know the day before I went out to the world and my skin paid the price. I use Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2, it’s part of their everyday three step set, yet I know for sure that I don’t find it necessary to do it everyday. Amazing for sensitive as well and leaves your face with that light feeling, that’s just nirvana
SERUM:
Now that we have cleaned our skin, it’s time we add some concentration with active ingredients to it. That’s called a Serum, and it’s where we need big guns. I use the Esteé Lauder’s Perfectionist Pro Serum Rapid Firm + Life Treatment with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, it’s my gold mine. Providing an amazing lift and so many vitamins that I would need an entire blog post for it.
MOUSTURIZER:
There is a reason why almost every beauty blogger recommends this, and it’s because Tatcha completely changed the game when it comes to skin care. The Water Cream is incredible to say the least, it cools, refreshes, clarifies and defines. But I like to mix things up, so I need one with hyaluronic acid, so I add a little of Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Water Gel to start avoiding any wrinkles that may want to appear. The combo for them is incredible for sensitive skin, and no, they do not feel heavy once applied.
SUNSCREEN:
This is the last one, I promise. Like I mentioned before, this girl cannot get sunlight, unless I have protection. Which is why I need sunscreens that range from 60 to 100 specifically for my face. The one I’ve loved for the last 5+ years of my life is Ultra Sheer® Dry-Touch Oxybenzone-Free Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 70 by Neutrogena. So so incredibly light but the protection lasts up to 8 hours without touching water and being sweat resistant.
That was my list! So how do you apply them, you can use your clean fingers, no problem with that, it’s the best way to do so. But if you would like to use your cold Jade or Rose Quartz roller, go ahead, I feel like Cassie from Euphoria doing so. Should I make a night routine? ‘Cause it’s a tiny bit different, maybe. For now, this is how I care for my face. But also remember that your food diet is an important factor for this. We have to be careful on what we eat, because it will be reflected on our faces, literally.
