My Face Skin Care Essentials
Hello Ladies,
Hope you all are doing fantastic!! I am doing pretty gooood!! The world looks like a fabulous place to live in!! đ Burj Khalifa looks a tad bit taller today, the gold souks look a little more brighter and even more golden, the shawarma tastes a bit more yummier and of course the sun is shining just above me!!! đ Such a glorified description right? Anyways, I am plain HAPPY and feel content today!!! Anyways, enough of the jazz, and today I am posting my face skin care essentials! I have posted my summer essentials HERE.
Basically for everything else there is an alternative and of course I have this itch of trying new products, but there are certain things in my skin care routine, which CAN NEVER CHANGE! I will mention is as we are moving along the post!
A basic skin care regimen consists of these products,
⢠Face Wash
⢠Cleanser
⢠Toner
⢠Day Cream
⢠Night Cream
⢠Eye Cream
⢠Face Mask
⢠Scrubs
⢠Sun Protection ( season wise)
I have combination skin type which doesnât really MISBEHAVE!!
Face Wash : I keep experimenting with my face washes and cleansers but Garnier Light Fairness Face Wash is like my most trusted one! It is inexpensive and functional. I have reviewed it HERE. No matter how many others I try I have to have a backup with this one!
Cleanser : I cleanse my face just once at night, which is done very religiously every night after I get rid of makeup or in general wipe off my face with a wipe! After cleansing I wash my face and then tone it!! This is important for getting rid of all the impurities and dirt from the skin. I am using the Eucerin one, currently, and as far it is proving to be nice!!!
Toner : I tone my face twice a day! Once before going to bed and the second time, after my bath! This basically helps with the pores and inner health of the skin! ď I am using Eucerin Toner which helps in cleaning up the skin and evening out!
I use these both since ALCOHOL FREE! Anything which has ALCOHOL is bad for the skin over any part of the body in my opinion. SO AVOID!!
Day Cream : I alternate between my Nivea and Olay day creams! Depends on what I like as a scent that day and what my skin requires! ď Both of these are great!
Night Cream : I simply use the Olay Serum, which I reviewed HERE, This in combination with the cream works wonders!! ď I loveeee it! This is another product which isn’t changing any soon!
Eye Cream : My current love is the Nivea one, which I reviewed HERE. I love how pleasantly the cream works!!
Face Masks : Now this is where I am very very enthusiastic! I have never used the famous Montagne Jeunesse I mean I donât know whatâs it which keeps me from buying them, I go to check them and get back empty handed!! So currently I am using my corn flour and egg mask which is a DIY! I am obsessed with the results it shows! Basically it tones and brightens the skin and other than that, I am using my Loccitane Instant Hydrating Mask, from the Angelica range and also the Papaya Face mask from Herbline Essentials! The Nivea face masks are no new story! I love them!! I use them quiet often say, 4 times a week!
Scrubs : For the scrubs, I am loyal with my Nivea one which I reviewed HERE and the Loccitane one, from their Angelica Range!! BLISSSS!! I scrub and exfoliate thrice a week!!I also have thee Nivea strips for blackheads and whiteheads which I use seldom!! ď
Sun Protection : If you live in the gulf regions, I need not tell you how essential this is!! I use the Eucerin sunscreen which I reviewed HERE for my face and body and for the eyes, nose and lips, I use the La Prairie Ultra Protection Stick!!La Prairie is available at all Areej Stores across the region!!
These are my face skin care essentials!! I will be posting a whole skin care routine and some DIY packs and masks soon!!!
