-my once in a month skincare routine..-

hey guys.. sorry i haven't write anything this past few days.. i'm already in Lombok now, and the internet is kinda slow.. also i'm really busy in here..>.<

so when i'm in Surabaya i have a chance to take some photos for my monthly skincare routine but i don't have any chance to write and upload it here.. and now i will.. hehe..;)

my monthly skincare routine is very important for me, because all of the impurities does no good to our skin.. for example the dead skin cells will pilling up if u don't clean it, make ur face look dull, then all of the dirts that go inside the pores will clogged it and can cause many inflammation such as acne and comedones.. for those who doesn't know millia, it's a white comedones, it occurs because the sebum/oil can't get out or u can say that the sebum is trap inside.. i'm having lots of millia under my eyes and around the nose.. i asked a dermaticians about this and she said there's not much we can do about it.. millia is the hardest thing to get rid off.. guess i just have to live with it..=(

for this post, i didn't wear any make up or contact lens.. so forgive my ugly face..>o<

let's get started..!!!

- ok first what i like to do is cleansing my face with my favourite mild cleanser which is hadalabo perfect x simple ultimate moisturizing foaming face wash.. it's a drugstore product and u can find it everywhere.. it has a foamy texture and i like it..!! for me, everthing doesn't have to be expensive to be great.. i know some expensive stuffs don't guarantee that it will be suitable for any skin.. that's why even if it's cheap but if it suitable for ur skin, just use it and proud of it.. as long as it's not illegal or fake product, so becareful girls..;)

- after that i apply the toner.. usually i'm using Body shop seaweed clarifying toner, but since i ran out of it (no stock at store), i change to face shop E'thym balancing toner.. still like the body shop better though..!!

- after the toner, usually i will start to scrubbing.. the function of scrubbing is to cleanse the pores.. make up products and dirt will clogged it.. but because i'm having a big pimple at that time, i'm skipping this step.. but i will show u what product that i use, and it's texture.. scrubbing basically have something sandy or grainy in it, so it kinda harsh.. i won't recommend u guys to do scrubbing if u got acnes on ur face, because the scrubbing will cause inflammation to the acnes.. if u insist to do scrubbing and only have like 1 big acne like me in the pic, u could do it by avoiding the acne area, but for me, i won't risk it.. oh and when u do scrubbing always wet ur face a lil bit, because the sandy textures is so harsh and painful on dry face.. i'm using body shop seaweed pore cleansing facial exfoliator..

- after scrubbing, rinse ur face with water and dry towel it.. the next step is peeling.. the function is to remove the dead skin cells, it will brighten ur face.. i'm using peeling gel because it's more subtle and easy.. and the product that i use here is Islet power C white peeling gel.. i buy it in Hongkong and apparently it's a korean brand.. other brands that i know u can get in Indonesia is face shop or laneige.. i have seen they sell peeling gel.. i dunno about other brand, and if u guys know please leave a comment about it in this post.. thx..!!

- after that rinsing off ur face with water and put the toner again.. the next step is mask.. there's a lot of type for mask.. but u can use the paper mask, because it's easy and less messy, i like face shop for this one.. and then there's mask that looks like cream, i have seen this one on body shop.. i like this type because for me, it will be absorp well by the skin.. just my opinion tho.. and there's also mask that will dry and u just peel it off, i dunno where to buy this except in HongKong or other countries.. tell me if u guys know where to buy in Indonesia..;)
in this post i'm using the cream one.. usually i'm using swiss rituel moisturizing mask.. but since i ran out of it too, and i do buy new one but my sis take it to Lombok..=(
so now i'm using massage & mask sakura veil by POLA.. it's a japanese product and u can massage ur face while applying it.. oh and it smells great..!!! lovin it..~

- leave it for 2-3 mins.. always read the instruction..!! never leave the mask for too because it doesn't do any good for ur skin.. NEVER think that the longer u put the mask the better the results..!! just think about it, why did the manufacturer put on the instruction about how long u should leave the mask on?? be smart ladies..;)
rinse everything off with water and apply the toner again, put on some moisturizer and ur regular skin product..~
for the moisturizer, i'm using body shop vitamin E moisture cream..~

well that's a wrap.. thx for reading..!! stay beautiful and happy trying..!! cheers..~~
