What is your daily face care routine?

For the past few weeks I m using rosewater + moisturizer mixture for face. Result is amazing. Normally I have a dull face. But now I can see a natural glow.

 

Nice topic. I live in the UAE and inspite of the extreme weather conditions here, I have a simple routine with emphasis on moisturizing skin as I spend a most of time in an air conditioned office/home.I picked up the habit of good skin care luckily from my adolescent years thanks to my Mom.

Morning: Cleanse with Loreal Purifying Gel Wash ( Summer ) or Loreal Hydra Total 5 ( Winter ). Apply toner - Loreal White Perfect Skin Toner and follow up with Loreal White Perfect Moisturizer. Sometimes, I skip the moisturizer and apply Garnier All in One Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream followed by Maybelline Matte maker, Kohl for the eyes, paint my lips with lip liner and matching lipstick for the day ( I keep experimenting with lipstick brands ) and finally put my sindoor and bindi. I never leave without moisturizing my hands and legs with Vaseline Body lotion and applying Parfum ( Sapil or Ajmal brands.Sometimes, I prefer using my husbands' as he always has the best smelling Parfums )

Evenings: After a quick bath, I cleanse my face with same face wash or Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. Then, I just apply Loreal Revitalift Night Cream. Vaseline Body Lotion again for my legs and hands.

Weekly: I use St Ives Apricot Scrub, any homemade face pack etc, once in a week.

Every 2 weeks I use an epilator to remove hair from legs and hands. It take only 5 minutes if you use it regularly. I only go to the parlor for eyebrow and upper lip threading once in a month and twice or thrice in a year for fruit facial. Foot care I manage with a good pumice stone and moisturizer. And for my hair, I have been using Vatika Hair oil and Loreal Shampoo/ Conditioner for years now.

I just focus on following a manageable regime that I cannot do without. Hope it inspires someone!

Where do you get this from anupamag, is it home made? If it is can you share please?

 

Hi Lin,

Sandalwood powder is easily available in any cosmetic shop in India, mix rose water to it to form a thick paste and use it.

 

Thanks for your reply - I live in the Black Mountains in Wales, UK. I will have to search on amazon, I'm sure to find a supply in the UK, but I will definitely try it. Thanks for sharing.

Here are Effective daily skin care routine :-

1. Specific care for each skin type
In order to take care of and respect your skin, first and foremost make sure to choose products specially designed for your skin type. Dry skin does not have the same needs as oily skin.

2. Gentle cleansing
Taking care of sensitive skin begins with make-up removal. In order not to stress your skin and to respect its natural balance, make sure to use a pH-neutral make-up remover, specially formulated to cleanse your epidermis gently.

3. Pay special attention to fragile areas
Some parts of your face (eye contour, lips, etc.) have particularly fine, fragile skin. They need specific care, especially the eye contour and the lips. These areas of your face are more sensitive and deserve special attention.

4. Eyes: a risk area
The eye contour skin is ten times finer than the skin on the rest of the face. Choose a specific routine for make-up removal in this area.

5. Moisturizing is essential
The dermis is made up of 70% water and the epidermis, 15%. In order to keep the skin well moisturized, it is important to choose daily moisturizing skin care products that balance the level of water within the skin. You may also use a moisturizing mask regularly, removing the excess with a spring water spray.

6. Exfoliation is indispensable
Use a suitable exfoliation treatment once or twice a week. It must be effective yet gentle and respectful. Choose a pH-neutral exfoliation product, which is perfect for smoothing and purifying the skin while respecting its natural balance.

7. Preferably hypoallergenic make-up
To avoid the risk of allergies linked to the use of products that are not suited to your skin, choose hypoallergenic make-up specially formulated to meet the needs of all skin and eye types, even sensitive skin.

8. Watch out for external stress
Pollution, smoke, stress… All these have harmful effects on the skin. Use skincare products to protect your skin against these daily stresses before leaving the house and cleanse your skin thoroughly when you come home in the evening.

9. Sun protection
Whatever the season, choose daily skincare products that include solar filters. They reduce the harmful effects of the sun, which accelerates skin ageing.

10. Don't neglect the lips
As soon as you feel the need, use a restorative cream for the lips. Do not hesitate to reapply to this particularly fragile area as often as necessary.

 

Hi anupamag, I found it on amazon.co.uk! Must it be rose water or can I use plain water because I love the smell of sandalwood??? TIA
