Facial routine

So i'm done with my facial routine for today. Hehe, using SK-II products now. I love it lots. Hehe, even though i'm just using the sample kit, but i'm not gonna stop using SK-II products cause it really works.

I can feel the difference in the texture of my skin before and after i use the products. Of course, things don't just disappear overnight, but i can really feel my skin improving. It's more smoother, and it's more radiant. I still have a long way to go until i achieve the porcelain skin like Rin's. Hehe, i adore your skin babe, it's so smooth and gorgeous!

But i read from her blog that she's been a loyal customer of SK-II for 3 years. Haha, maybe that's how long it needs for me to get that crystal clear skin.

Of course, i start off with using SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil (S$70). It's to get rid of all the make up and it's really easy to use. You can use it just as it is, or you can put it with a little water, either way, it'll get rid of all your make up with ease.

Then i double cleanse it with my Garnier Pure A facial foam (S$5.65). Yes, it's fine to use different products for the face just as long as you know what to do and what not.

Honestly, i've never heard of double cleansing until i went for the SK-II facial. Oh after cleansing, don't forget to towel dry your face. It's better to use a lint-free towel so the lint won't stick to your face.

Since it's Saturday, i add one more step to the normal routine. And that's the mask.

You can use SK-II mask (S$21), of course, it's the best. But for all of you who are on a budget, there's other alternatives as well. As for me (since i'm saving and all), i'm using Pomegranate Face Mask from Guardian, which costs only S$1.95 per sheet.

This mask contains pomegranate extract and sodium hyalunorate which replenishes skin moisture and prevents skin ageing. Since i have moderately dry skin (as what the beautician said), it's the best choice for me as the mask is for intense hydration.

There are other extract too, like lavender, that help soothe and relax your skin. Also with the likes of green tea extract which is for lightening up your skin.

I'm not expert so i can't tell you which extract is good for your skin, but i have to say the intense hydration face mask i'm using is very refreshing. It leaves the skin really smooth and supple. I'd recommend it.

Anyway, put on the mask for 15-20 mins, you can do it bi-weekly or for best results, use it 3 times a week. After that, don't forget to rinse your face. 13 times, and that's it. Not more, cause if you wash your face for more than 5 mins, it'll dehydrate your skin. Weird but true, i read it in Cleo. Hehe.

Towel dry your face, once again i repeat, preferably lint-free. Use toner, and you can see all the dirt your make up pad pick up. Don't forget to moisturize your skin. I'm using SK-II Facial Clear Solution (around S$70). It makes my skin feel really cool.

Seriously, you should take care of your skin when you're still young. And your teeth too. Hehe no, i don't get paid for mentioning these products. I WISH!

Arynne.. wahliuz.. u praised my skin until im so *shy*.. hehhee. But i need to tell u that i didnt depend on SK-II only. If u remember, I used to have lots of pimples back in sec sch.. went for treatment at Nat'l Skin Centre.. then used SK-II to maintain the condition till today. I tried loads of other skin care pdts, but majority failed. Somehow SK-II worked on my skin, so i really trust it. Worth the money paid for. Since u dun have any major skin probs (as far as i can see / to my knowledge), I believe u'll achieve that dream skin u have always wanted in no time! =)
