Skincare Routine

Hi guyssss!!! Have you all missed me? HAHAHA :P
Today's post is on my daily skincare routine. I'll be sharing the products that i've been using daily with you girls hehe.

For those who don't really do a skincare routine apart from cleansing your face with a cleanser, you should start like RIGHT NOW. Because skincare is v v v important (even for guys imo) in your teens. I started doing skincare quite late tho, like 15y/o???

Back then, I just thought rinsing my face with water during showers were good enough and never really understood or felt the need to develop these habits. A lot of people think that skincare should start when you're older but always always remember, #preventionisbetterthancure. Don't only start when you notice bad breakouts/fine lines forming on your face bc ITS TOO LATE.

Okay I've talked too much hahaha, let's begin!!!

(PS. sorry for the terrible quality of the photos, my phone camera's cui omg.)

Overview of the products. 


1. Sukin Foaming Facial Cleanser
I love this product mainly because it doesn't give that tight and clean feeling after I wash my face bc i've used a lot of facial cleansers that does and I feel those cleansers dries out my skin :(
I really recommend this as it contains natural essential oils such as Rosehip, Chamomile and Macadamia which is moisturising and nourishing *-* OH THE BEST PART??? It's sulfate and paraben-free, highly recommended for sensitive skin too!
It retails at around $11 at Watsons/Guardian and one bottle lasts me about 2-3months! 



2. Garnier Aqua Defense Sensitive Refreshing Toner (The name so long hahahahaha)
I use this after my cleanser! I would pour some on my palm and just pat my face to let it absorb! Lots of people put the toner on a cotton pad and pat it on the face instead but I feel like its a waste of resources????? Because like the cotton pad would absorb the toner and its REDUNDANT. Okay back to the product. My skin feels smooth and supple after using it and I find that it's really value for money!!!
Retails at Guardian, Watsons, CK, Venus (and every other stores that sells affordable skincare) price around $6-7 lasts around 3 months?? 
3. Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 (Optional unless you have really chapped lips)
Got this as a birthday gift like 2 years ago hahahaha. I think I've reviewed this in one of my older posts!! It's basically an oil-based lip balm that helps chapped lips! Kinda pricey ($17-ish) imo, so for an alternative, you can get Nivea/Lipice from Watsons! 
4. IOPE Tone & Wrinkle Care Eye Cream
I have some pre-mature wrinkles at the side of my eyes and my eye are is really dry so I'd use this after toner hehe. It's pretty moisturising and value for $$ because it's a really large tube! I've been using it for like half a year now and it haven't finish omg.
Got it at $11.9 on Qoo10 (bc Singapore don't carry IOPE products in physical stores :(((( ) 
5. Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream
Yes, use this after toner! Think I've mentioned this in my older post as well.  Its just a really good moisturiser from Kiehls and worked wonders for my ezcematic (ya i created the word) and sensitive skin. 
6. Clarins Ecran Multi-Protection
Sunscreen!!! Always use sunscreen, even when you're indoors because the UV rays can get indoors and harm your skin as well, don't think that because got no sun above your head means no UV rays okay!!! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE MUAHAHA (cue devil emoji) So this is like the last step of the skin care, just put some on the back of your palm and apply on your face evenly (less you want tan lines). Your skin will actually look older if you're exposed in the sun frequently without sun protection so don't risk that!!!!!!
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP OKAY OKAY OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mumsie got me this at Robinsons (i think) for like $60++ but its really good bc non-greasy and no white patches! For cheaper alternative, check out the Biore/Faceshop/Missha ones ^^ 
7. Bio-Essence Miracle Bio Water (This is really optional btw!!!)
Reminds me of sec school days where siying brings this to class and we just spam it on our faces after PE lessons :DDDDDDD
If you're wondering why this don't have the cap on is because the cap quality SUCKS. This is already the second cap that broke out of two caps >:(
So I usually bring the travel version out in my bag (to school or long day out) to feel refreshed and kinda cool down my skin. 
Ending this post off with the cakes I had at Lady M(ichelle) <3 I love their crepes so much. K and I have so much fun tearing and counting the layers.


BYE SWEETHEARTS :* hope you guys enjoyed this post and it helped!
