Daily Skincare Routine (2013-14)


Daily Skincare Routine

As promised, here's the daily skincare routine I've been on for about a year or so now. My skincare routine has changed drastically over the past few years as I have been trying to decide which products were best for my skin. I've finally settled on the perfect combination (for now) and my skin has never been better!

By this, I mean I hardly get breakouts unless I sleep too late or experience hormonal changes. I have combination type skin, so these products may not work for you if your skin is normal/sensitive. Anyway, this is the usual order in which I use these products:

Daytime
  1. Cleanse face with Bioderma Créaline H2O Solution Micellaire
  2. Use Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner to remove residual dirt and balance skin's pH
  3. Moisturise with Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion
  4. For sun protection on the face, apply Rachel K CC Renew SPF35 PA++ (mild coverage) or Banana Boat Ultra Protect Face SPF50 PA+++
  5. For sun protection on the body, use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF50+ PA+++

Nighttime
  1. If wearing make up, remove eye make up with Bioré Makeup Remover for Eye and Lip and use Pond's Cold Cream Cleanser on the rest of the face
  2. Cleanse face with Bioderma Créaline H2O Solution Micellaire
  3. Use Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner with Hitachi HadaCRiE to remove residual dirt and balance skin's pH
  4. Moisturise with Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Cream
  5. Use facial masks (e.g. Laneige Water Sleeping Pack_EX or My Beauty Diary once a week)
