7 simple steps to clear skin.

As promised, and also to celebrate my blog's 100th post-versary, I shall blog about my beauty regime today. I do not have a very good complexion but at least my face is clear most of the time (except for that time of the month). I feel that is something to be proud of. HeE~!

I am a lazy girl to begin with, so I only do simple things to maintain my skin. I do not visit salons for facial treatment. Instead, I do it myself at home. These are what I do:

Step 1: Wash the face with a cleanser.
Make sure there are enough bubbles before applying it on the face. This is to ensure that the cleanser is evenly distributed on the face. Wash the T-zone first before proceeding to wash the cheeks as the T-zone is more oily as compared to the cheeks. Rinse the face in cold running water.

Step 2: Exfoliate.
For this, I like the Ginvera marvel gel as it effectively removes dead skin and blackheads.

Apply minimal amount of the marvel gel on the forehead, the two cheeks, the chin and the nose. Massage these areas in a circular motion, smoothing out the marvel gel. While doing so, white particles will be formed on the face. Rinse the face in cold running water.

Step 3: Mask.
I use all sorts of mask. Have used wash-off masks, peel-off masks and sheet masks before. Each has its own advantages. Wash-off masks are good for deep cleansing, peel-off masks are good for removing surface impurities while sheet masks are good for hydration. The type of mask to use is dependent to the individual's needs and preferences.

I like the masks from The Face Shop. They carry an extensive range of masks at affordable prices.

Step 4: Toner.
Choose one that contains less alcohol so that it does not dry up the face. Use a cotton pad to apply it to the entire face.

Step 5: Eye brightening essence.
I have serious dark eye circles due to frequent late nights. Had been trying lots of products but so far I have not found a product that effectively solves my problem. Despite so, I still use my Fasio eye brightening essence and Toujour La Vie eye firming serum every night. I find both products quite effective in reducing puffiness though.

Apply the essence to the eyes using the ring finger. Gently dab the essence around the eye contour from the inner side of the eye contour to the outer side of the eye contour.

Do not pull or tug at the delicate skin around the eye as it will cause fine lines to form.

Step 6: Whitening cream.
I am using the Fasio extra white whitening cream to lighten my skin tone.

Just have to apply the whitening cream to the entire face, carefully avoiding the eyes and the mouth.

Step 7: Moisturiser.
Similary, apply the moisturiser to the entire face, carefully avoiding the eyes and the mouth.

I am currently using the Shiseido Pureness 3-steps. Love the mattifying effect the moisturiser has on my face. My face feels and looks good after using the moisturiser. Two thumbs up!

That's it. 7 simple steps and I am done. Will take some time to do all these but for the sake of healthy looking skin, it is all worth it. =)
