Basic ritual - stick to it n Njoy it

the skin absorbs 60% of what we apply on our face. thats why we need to take the extra mile to read the ingredients of our skin care and cosmetics. Can we do so? Allow me

no ones perfect. so are the stuff around us. but we can choose the closest to the best. we are urged to consume organic. i wish we apply that to skin care and cosmetics as well. the idea is simple. have the least harmful chemical touch our skin.

Follow these, very easy-

Identify your skin condition in 24hrs. take note how it changes in the sun, rain, air cond room and while you're relaxing. it will be able to tell you if you have dry, oily, very oily or both.

Cleanse twice a day and not more than 3. too much cleansing removes the natural oil which is good for you. get cleanser that have some or more minerals and botanicals ingredients. altho we know promeganate have high antioxidants to fight aging, we cant be blending it every morning. always use room temperature water. too cold too hot will give the capilaries a heart attack and causes breakouts. thats where you will have a warm welcome by pimples. once cleansed dab dap dap. dont wipe your face like you wipe your body after a shower. you will drag the skin and as time goes by creates wrinkles.

Toner is ok for some and others it not a must. you need to understand that cleanser and make up remover already removes dirt, grease,makeup. toner is to removes any excess. so if you have cleaned proper, then skip it and move forward. tell me how many of you are so discipline to follow all ritual every single day. So clean smart not clean hard.

Exfoliate every week is a must. Every 3 days is best. Our skin produces dead skin every 2 days. It renews every 28days. exfoliate is like when you clean your house during raya, xmas,cny or diwali. its hard work right. if you exfoliate often then your skin can breathe and will allow renewal process to work better. if you exfoliate once a while it will take extra effort for the renewal of skin to show. remember when you exfoliate with good mask, you will be able to take care of your skin better.

Moisturize is they key to fight aging. you dont moisturize, is like letting your skin do all its work without any help. as we grow older our skin lacks ablity to work, thats why by applying moisturizer we are actually feeding the skin so it can work well. a small amount goes a long way. just a 5 sen size will do. rub it in between fingers and dab dab dab. no need to massage it. it will absord it way thru. this work well if you have very oily skin.
