Beauty Secrets I
Swiped from williamnyk.

Ever since my face was saved by my visits to the dermatologist, I have avoided salon facials like the plague. My delicate face cannot endure such mechanical cleansing. So now, I religiously use the routine that the doctor recommended. It's tedious, but it's well worth the effort. In order to keep my skin acne-free, I perform the following steps every morning and night (please refer to the pics):

1. One: On a dirty face, cleanse the skin using facial cotton and the milk cleanser.
2. Two: After 2 minutes, the face is washed off with a purifying facial cleanser (water-based).
3. iii: Pat dry face and apply the medicinal cream. I suspect that it's Retin-A as it increases the skin's turnover to avoid pore blockage.
4. Four: SK's own formulation of "I - Can't - Believe - That - I - Use - Hyaluronic - Acid - As - A - Thickener" mouisturiser. I use that in the morning.
5. Five: At night, I use SK's own formulation of apple stem cells and dessert plant extract moisturiser for an anti-ageing effect, :P.
6. vi: Since retinol reacts with UV and darkens the skin, I have to make sure I use sunblock.
7. vii: With me tumbling to the 30s, I use eye cream too. So sienz that my right eye is puffier than the left! :(.
8. viii: When notti acne comes, I use SK's formulation of anti-sebum gel to stop 'em in their tracks!
9. Nine: Once a week a will use a skin purifying mask to keep pimples at bay.
10. Ten: Sometimes I will also apply a mild peeling mask for smoother skin, but I think my thick skin needs something more heavy duty!

This concludes the peek into my vanity box. Until next time!
