A.M SKINCARE ROUTINE
First of it all I do the Korean way face cleansing! But what does it is?
It’s simply a double cleansing : one with an oil (non comedogenic of course) and one with a water soluble solution. I use a solid cleansing oil from Erborian and then a black purifying soap made of black charcoal with warm water from the same brand. As this; all the impurities are gone for sure!
After the face cleansing I can begin the skincare :
- I start by wiping my face with a pad of Glycolic acid 7% toning solution to balance the pH of my skin and cure my acne.
-Then I put all over my face some Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% solution to treat my acne scars and blemishes.
-Sometimes, when I have an imperfection like a pimple or a blackhead, I use locally my Salicylic 2% + Zinc 1% serum to fix it. It usually lasts 2 days to work.
- After, to hydrate my sensitive skin I use un super pur vegan Hyaluronic acid 2%+ B5 support formula. It’s hyper hydrating it is absorbed well by the skin.
-To finish my skincare I put two drops of Caffeine solution 5% + EGCG under my eyes to treat my dark circles and puffiness.
-OPTIONAL : I also put some Cc cream from Erborian to cover my redness and imperfections
P.M SKINCARE
All my evenings begin by cleansing my skin in the same way as earlier (korean double cleansing : oil phase followed by a water/soap lotion) to put off all the impurities accumulated during the day; pollution,make up, smoke,dirt, food, and basically all the things you touched with your hands (you touch your face with your finger,remember) or with your face during you daytime.
By the way talking about cleansing, I'm going to give you a tip to deep clean your face twice a week and go out the next day with a baby skin! First you put on a mask called salicylic acid 2% mask that you keep for ten minutes till it's dry. The seconde one is more Hardcore; I recommend it to those who have experience with direct acids ont their skins because it's the AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution, so basically it’s all the fruits acids (glycolic, lactic, tartaric and citric) that are concentred in the high percentage of 30% in a serum, so please don't keep it more than five or ten minutes or you'll be burnt!
-First, I start by wiping my face with a pad of Glycolic acid 7% toning solution to balance the pH of my skin and preparing to the exfoliation “light peeling” by lowing the pH of the skin so it can absorb more product and be more exfoliated and peeled.
-Then, I apply in thin layers my daily peeling Lactic acid 10% peeling solution and massage my face avoiding my eyes and mouth. Lactic acid is known to correct texture irregularities and imperfections.
- I put my Retinol 1% in Squalane highly stable solution that cures my acne, prevents signs of aging (I know I’m only 23) and hydrate a lot in its super stable squalane solution.
-Then we’ve got my favourite ever, my Vitamine C 11% serum from Topology. It illuminates the skin, makes it brighter, healthier, as a smoker it gets me away from the grey face of the basic smoker and my skin is smoother.
- I put two drops of Caffeine solution 5% + EGCG under my eyes to treat my dark circles and puffiness even if I do like to use it as an all over face treatment :
- I put my Natural Moisturrizing Factors + Ha surface hydration formula cream and add few drops of caffeine solution it hydrate the skin and the caffeine contractes the veins and wake you up! Cheap and Easy to do booster cream vegan cruelty free and homemade!
- To finish my day cool and fresh I use the Azelaic Acid 10% suspension. I put it some in minimum quantities and it make your skin matte and ready to have a sleep!
