Basic Skin Care Routine 

 

As We All Know Skin Is Our Most Exposed Organ Of Our Body And It's The One Who Gets Harmed And Damage With Our Daily Activities, Especially Our Face Because It Has The Most Sensitive Tissue(Skin) In Our Body And  Delicate, Also It Picks Up More Dust And Dirt Than The Body, That's Why We Have Basic Skin Care Routine Where We Use Some Products To Help Protect Our Face From These Harm. This Can Also Be Considered As Pampering Your Self And Skin. So Here Are The Benefits Of Using Skin Care And Why. To Keep That Young Healthy Looking Skin, Proper Skin Care And Treatment Will Help You. I'll Show You How To Clean, Exfoliate, Moisture And Know The Creams That You Might Also Need. Don't Forget It's Safe Leaving The House With A Sunscreen At Least 30 SPF It Will Give Your Skin A Nice Protection Under The Sun. I Know Few Of You Will Agree To This, Especially If Your Living In A Tropical Country, Some Of Us Don't Actually Care About Sunscreen Because We're More Focused On Our Make Up Than The Skin Protection. I Won't Make This Long Here's The Basic Routine You May Refer Into, Lets Start With :

 

Cleansing

Cleansing Is The Very Basic And Important Step In Taking Care Of Your Skin Because It Removes The Dirt And Prevents Clogging Your Pores. The Key Here Is Finding The Right Cleanser For Your Skin Type And Stick With It. Choose A Mild Cleanser That Is Specifically Formulated With Your Skin Type. If Your Looking For A Budget Friendly Cleanser, There Are Good Cleanser Available In Drugstore That Wont Cost You More That $40. Also, Be Careful Over Washing Your Face, You Might Strip Your Skin With Oils That Keeps The Skin Healthy And Balance And Makes Skin More Vulnerable, Preferably Wash Your Face Twice A Day In The Morning To Remove The Sweat You Produce While Sleeping And Dirt, Second Is At Night Before Going To Bed To Remove Your Make Up And Sunscreen Which Clogs The Pores. You Can Try Using Milk Or Yogurt Formulated To Helps Remove Make Up Without Stripping Off Of Your Skins Natural Oil, There Are Also Some Cleansers That Are Specifically For Night Use It Contains Hydrating Ingredients To Protect Skin From Dryness And Seal In Moisture. Splashing Lukewarm Water Would Help Remove Excess Oil From Your Nightly Moisturizer *Remember : Don't Use Hot Or Cold Water This Might Leave Your Capillaries Broken*. There Are Also Cheap And Effective Korean Cleanser You Can Buy In Internet, Drugstore Or In Their Boutiques.

Expoliate  

Exfoliating Is The Step Almost All Of Us Skip On Our Weekly Routine. I'll Tell You, Proper Exfoliating Will Give Your Skin Healthy And Radiant Effect. Did You Know That The Skin You See Is Actually A Dead Skin Cells  Which Needs To Be Removed, Cells Will Continue Flaking Off *Fact : You Lose About 35,000 Cells A Minute, In A Year About 4 Kilograms Which Contains Most Of The Dust In Your House.Another Fact, Do You Wanna Know Why Men Skin Looks More Youthful Than Women ? It's Because Of Shaving, They Tend To Exfoliate By Shaving.* . You Can Buy A Facial Scrub, Make Your Own Or Use A Exfoliator(Face Scrub Brush), Just Like Your Cleanser It's Good Using Sugar Scrub To Salt Scrub, Better If The Product Also Contains Milk, To Speed Up Process You Can Use Peeling Agent But It's Highly NOT Recommended For Those Who Have Sensitive Skin. Now, How Many Times Should I Exfoliate My Face In A Week ?, Facial Exfoliants Are Not Meant To Be Used Everyday, It's Good For Atleast 2-3 Time A Week. Exfoliants Will Eliminate Dead Skin Cells To Reveal New, Rejuvenated, Healthy, Radiant Skin.

This Is What I'm Using Right Now, It's A Facial Scrub Brush Form Sophie Martin And It's Only Around $3 Or Less. I'm Loving This Brush It's Do Gentle Except For My Hand I Have Heavy Pressured Hands So I Sometimes End Up Over Washing/Exfoliating. You Can Also Buy In Ebay For $6 & Up. 

Toning

Some Of You Might Be Asking Why Do We Still Need To Use Toner If Our Face Is Already Clean, Well Because There Are Cleansers That Can't Remove All The Dirt In Your Face, Toner Help Removes All Remaining Traces Of Oil, Make Up And Dirt. If You Have A Good Cleanser, You Can Disregard This. This Step Is Mandatory On Everyday Skin Care Routine Especially If You Are Exposed To Harsh Condition Or Extra Dust.

Moisturizing

Moisturizing The Last Last But Important Step Of All, It Necessary To Moisturize Your Face Everyday. Basic Rule Of Beauty If You Invest On Your Moisturizer, Lacking Moisture Will Lead You To Dry Skin And Drying Out Will Lead To Wrinkles, Aging, And Lifeless Look And Feel On The Skin. Among All The Other Steps Skipping This One Is Worse Than Skipping All Of Them. Moisturizer Provides Best Effects When Applied Especially On Moist Skin But Be Careful Not To Over Moisturize, It Can Also Clog Pores By Over Doing It.

Now Some People Would Ask If Eye Creams Are Necessary, Well It Depends But Some Beauty Experts Highly Recommend  To Use Eye Cream Because The Skin Around The Eye Contains No Fatty Tissue That's Why The Skin Is Thin, And Subject To Develop Wrinkles. Also It's The One Forming Dark Eye Bags Because Of Lack Of Sleep, So It's Being Recommended To Use Treatment, You Can Either Buy From Drugstore, Korean Store, Japanese Store Or Make Your Own.

Sunscreen

This Is Optional, Sunscreen Will Protect Your Face From The Radiation Of The Sun. #1 Cause Of Wrinkles Is Sun Damaged So Using Sunscreen Atleast 30 SPF Is Important. The Trick Here Is Using Two Moisturizer, One For Night (Normal Moisturizer) And One For The Day That Has UV Protection But It's Not Meant To Be Used 24/7 Because It Can Aggravate Skin.


That's How You Take Care Of Your Skin, Tha't Sums It UP :D
Now You Might Be Wondering That There People Used More Than What's Stated Here, As I Said This Is Just The Basic. If You Want Extra Care You Can Use Some Essence, Day Cream & Night Cream Or Ampoule These Products Give Your Skin A Boost But It Sometimes Depends On The Variation Of Product, There Are Variations Like Just For Whitening, Moisture, Wrinkles, Or Fights Aging So It Depends On You And One Way To Know It's Use, How It Works And What You Need You Can Always Ask The Sale Lady Because They Know It And They'll Tell You.

 Skin Types

 

Do You Know Your Skin Type?

 Are You Planning To Buy Any Products For Your Skin ? Want To Know Which Suits You The Best ? Or Just Curious About Your Skin Type. Well Worry No More Here Are Some Ideas How You Will Determine Your Skin Type. Before Buying Or Doing Anything On Your Face You Should First Know Which Skin Type Do You Have. Normally There Are Only 3 Types We Are Referring To But Actually There 5, Knowing Your Skin Type Is Necessary In Order To Use The Proper Skin Care, Treatment Or  Which Best Suits Your Skin Needs. To Determine Your Skin Type Use A Blotting Paper Or Clean Facial Tissue/Paper Then Wipe Onto Face When You Woke Up. So Here Are The 5 Skin Types :

Normal Skin Type

 Normal Skin Type Won't Leave Any Traces Of Oil On The Blotting Paper Or Any Flakes And Has A Healthy Complexion, Usually Blemish Free With Smooth Textured And Evenly Toned With Small Pores. Having This Type Means Your Skin Has A Balanced Oil And Water Content. Your Skin should Feel Vibrant, Elastic And Supple. This Type Has The Least Problem.

Dry Skin Type 

 Dry Skin Type Would Likely To Leave The Blotting Paper Clean, Too, Just Like The Normal Skin Type But The Skin Will Feel Flaky, Tight And Chaps Easily. Skin Is Prone To Aging And Irritating. This Type Develops Wrinkles, Sallow Tone And Fine Pores/Lines Because It Lacks Both Sebum And Moisture, Regularly Use Beauty Treatment Like Mask And Moisturizer With Natural Ingredients.Avoid Harsh Soaps To Prevent Loss Of Natural Oil.

Oily Skin Type 

 Oily Skin Will Definitely Leave Oil Spots On Your Blotting Paper Usually From Cheeks, Nose And Forehead. This Type Is Problematic Due To Over Reactive Oil-Producing(Sebaceous) Glands, Making It Prone To black-Head, Pimple And Acne Because Of Large Pores. Unlike The Dry Skin, Having Oily Skin Lessen Prone To Aging And Wrinkling. Special Cleansing Will Help Unclogged Pores To Prevent Accumulation Of Dirt Which Breaks Into Acne.

Combination Skin Type

Combination Skin Type Is The Most Common Type That Needs Separate Treatment. The Blotting Paper Will Leave Traces Of Oil Coming From Nose, Forehead And Sometimes In Your Chin. This Type Possess Both Dry And Oily Type, The Dry Part Is Your U Zone (The Cheeks) And The Oily Is Your T Zone (Nose And Forehead). Remember That Oil Is Not Moisture And It Can Cause Acne And Black Heads, It Should Be Treated With Rich Cream And Moisturizer And Exfoliating At Least Twice A Week Will Help Remove Dry Skin Cells, Try Using Heavier Moisturizer To Your Dry Spots If Needed.

Sensitive Skin Type

 
 Sensitive Skin Type Is Usually Dry And Tends To Get Irritated Easily, Reacts Internally And Externally. Can Be Easily Disturbed By Skin Care Products And Cosmetics Because Of Delicate Fine Pores, This Skin Type Is The Most Problematic And Fragile You Are Prone To Redness, Itchy Patches Or Blotchy Skin. Needs A Very Special Type Of Care, To Play Safe Consult A Dermatologist First Before Using Any Treatment, Skin Care Or Make Up To Know The Proper Care And Treatment And It's Best Than Risking Your Skin, Remember You Can Easily Be Irritated Even By The Sun.




That's How You Determine Your Skin Type. Hope This Gives You The Information You're Looking For And Helped You On Buying The Right Product For Your Skin Needs. Also It's Safe Leaving The House With A Sunscreen At Least 30 SPF It Will Give Your Skin A Nice Protection Under The Sun.

Packaging

 

Basically They Made The Packaging Literally Next To An Apple Shaped Container In A Twist Cap Because The Product Itself Contains Apple Essence Which Has A Good Anti-Oxidant To Help Skin From Breakouts. It Looks Like A Toy At So I Recommend To Store This Somewhere Kids Won't See, They Might Have Mistaken This As Toy With A Food Inside.

Moving On,

After Opening The Twist Cap You'll See The That There's Another Lid Which Is Actually Good Because It Help To Protect Your Cream From Exposure So Bacteria Won't Get Inside Easily And It Comes With A Small Handy Spatula So You Don't Have To Dip Your Hand In Also To Help You Get The Product Easily With No Mess, The Spatula Also Helps To Make It More Hygienic When it Come Getting The Product Because We All Know That Our Hands Is Of The Dirtiest Part Of Our Body Because It's Exposed To Anything And Make Contact With Anything Which Means Our Hands Have The Most Bacteria. Try To Imagine Those Bacterias In Your Face, Gross Right.

The Product

I Don't Actually Have Any Idea About Buying This Cream Because I Don't Like Using Creams But The Sales Lady Told Me That I Can Also Use It As A Daily Facial Moisturizer And Since The Sales Lady Is Nice To Me And I Like Her Because She's Not One Of Those Profit Sales Lady, She Offers Their Better And Cheaper Products Let's Admit This, In A Beauty/ Cosmetic Shop There's Always A Competing Same Products With Different Proces Let's Say For Example They Have 2 Kinds Of BB Cream That's Almost The Same Except On The Main Ingredient Maybe The New One Have Whitening And A The Other Have A Skin Improvement Formula But Since The Newer One Is More Expensive Than The Other They Will Tell You That The Newer One Is Better With It's Whitening Effect & Things, Right ? Make Story Short, Yes, I Bought It. 

 Seriously I Really Love It's Smell, Honestly If It's Not Indicated That It's A Cream I Would Think About It As A Apple Sauce And Eat It, When I First Used It I Use It As A Massage Cream 2-3 Times A Week Just To See It's Effect And I'm Not Disappointed Buying It, I Was Shock At The Result. After Using It For Around 3-4 Weeks I Notice That My Face Gain Some Improvements Even My Mom And Sister-In-Law Noticed It, They Even It Became More Smoother, Brighter Skin, There Is Also Some Times Where I My Face Looks Like Satin That Has A BB Cream Or Any Sort Of Foundation Even Though It Was A Bare Skin Or With Just A Powder. After Trying It For Almost A Month Of 2-3 Times A Week Use I Changed It To Daily Moisturizer Cream And My Skin Became Better Even More. I'm From Philippines And As We All Know It's Hot In Here Especially Summer So My Skin Breaks A Lot After Using Appletox Honey Cream I Feel That The Breakouts Of My Skin Has Lessen So I Was Really Happy Using It.
