This is my current skincare routine that I do for months now. So, let's just get into the details.
Morning has always been a pretty rough for me and as soon as I woke up, I'd check my face in the mirror and stares. It's just a daily habit and I do that to check if my face has new breakout or any redness.
1) SCRUBS
First, it's gotta be scrubs.
ST. IVES Blemish Control Apricot Scrub (RM 22)
PIKO Coffee Scrub (RM 25)
THE FACE SHOP Smart Peeling White Jewel (RM 52.89)
I have three type of scrubs that I used so far and of course, I do not use these at the same time. It depends on my mood. Out of the three scrubs, my favorite would be PIKO because it smells so good (coffee, duh!) and give instant result. The texture is rough so make sure you dont scrub everyday when you used PIKO. Once a week will be fine. The coffee scrub is already mixed with Vitamin E, so you will feel little sticky after you wash away.
As for the St. Ives, this would be my second favorite. The scrub is no longer feel harsh on the skin like previous years. I personally think St. Ives has made some improvement for the formula because it does not hurt your face.
TFS is a very gentle scrub. It does not hurt your skin at all because the texture is really smooth and I'd recommend this for those who has sensitive skin. You can use this scrub everyday.
I changed my scrubs depend on my mood so it's not fix.
2) CLEANSER
HADA LABO Deep Clean & Blemish Control Face Wash
(RM 24.90)
I have an oily skin and this is by far my favorite cleanser because it feels so gentle on skin and doesnt leave my skin feel tight and dry. It still can't be use to remove makeup properly, especially around the eyes. So, in case you want to skip using makeup remover and use a cleanser instead, then this cleanser is not for you.
I used this twice a day and this cleanser combines natural cleansing properties with superior hydrating ingredient of hyaluronic acid to deep clean without drying skin and helps prevent blemishes to reveal a smooth radiant complexion.
For a cleanser, I'm not really picky... so if I finish with this product, I'd definitely change into another new products because I like to experience my face with different type of cleansers.
Done with the cleanser, I'm wiping my face with a clean towel and proceed into intense care.
3) AMPOULE
YADAH Brightening Ampoule
30 mL
(RM 68.90)
For the usage, use it after washing the face. You can treat it as a weekly facial treatment. This is by far my most favorite product in my skincare routine. I used this everyday, twice per day. This has helped a lot in term of improving my skin texture and get rid of the dullness. I'd definitely repeat the order after I finish with this bottle.
The texture looked sticky but it's not. The stickiness gone as soon as you pat this all over your skin. It smells good, not too strong; just perfectly fine. It also absorb fast. I used around 2-3 drops of this.
4) TONER
HADA LABO Hydrating Lotion Light
170 mL
(RM 64.90)
The texture is super light and looks exactly like water. It's thinner than Klairs Supple Toner. It's not sticky and really hydrating. This lotion (toner) actively infuses 4 types of Hyaluronic Acids (HA) from the surface to inner skin layers for significantly moist, refined and plumped up skin.
This does not make my skin look oily and the light texture is totally make you feel like you wear nothing on your face.
This is the toner that I used during morning, I used different toner for night and I will update you my night skincare routine in the next post.
5) EYECREAM
NUTOX Eye Refiner
15 mL
(RM 51.90)
Next is the eye cream and I'm currently using this one. My previous eye cream was from The Face Shop and I didn't like how it stung my eyes so bad that my tears started to fall. It was a good product since it provided moisture around my eyes area but that was the cons.
For Nutox, the texture is light, easily absorb and does not sting my eyes. It claims to reduce puffiness, dark circle and anti wrinkle. I already hit my 20's and I really need that "anti wrinkle" so bad lmao. I've been using it for weeks and to be honest, I haven't seen any changes in term of wrinkle but it does its job to reduce dark circles.
It is hard to find a really good eye cream and just like the cleanser, after I finish using this I will find another products to try. If you have any good product to suggest, please write it down in the comment section below.
6) SERUM
THE FACE SHOP Chia Seed Moisture Recharge Serum
50 mL
(RM 120.73)
This serum is freshly germinated Chia Seed extract that moisturizes and leaves skin looking and fresh looking. The texture is sticky and thick. You can feel slight stickiness when you apply all over your face but it produce an instant glowing and makes your skin looks healthy somehow.
It feels little heavy on skin and I only used generous amount for this product. Nevertheless, it is a good product to provide extra moisture for your skin and I'd recommend it.
7) SUNSCREEN
HADA LABO Perfect UV
(RM 55+)
This is by far my most favorite sunscreen because it's light, not sticky and fast absorb. It also makes your skin look glowing and not greasy. My previous sunscreen was YADAH's but I changed it because I felt this one is even better. The smell is not as strong as YADAH's and it can be use as makeup base too.
This is an amazing product, does not clog my pores, no white cast and does not making my face oily. I wear this everyday even when I do not go out. It's like an extra protection for the skin.
This is by far my current morning skincare routine and of course you dont have to follow all this steps. I just wanna share some of the products that I like. To be honest, my routine always change and I never fixed into one routine. I might change and try another products, lets hope for another product reviews because I just received two products recently. *winks*
