Cleansing Routine
It has been the longest time since I blogged about my skincare routine, so I suppose its time for me to write an update.. Not sure if any one's keen to read but nevertheless, I will still write about it! Lol~!
(left to right: H2O+ Marine Cleansing Gel (oil-free), Etude House (EH) Mild Cleansing Milk, Beautymaker Eye Make Up Remover, EH Green Tea Cleansing Tissue,
Kanebo Blanchir Clay Wash Conditioner) & EH House Bubble O2 Cleanser
My morning cleansing routine is very simple... Just 1 simple step, using the H2O+ Marine Cleansing Gel.
On normal work days, I wear sunblock/makeup base, concealer, powder/liquid foundation, loose powder, highlight powder, blush, eyeshadow, waterproof mascara, mascara fixer, lip balm and lip gloss/lipstick.
To remove all these gunk from my skin completely, my evening cleansing routine is somewhat quite tedious.
First, I use the Beautymaker Eye Make Up Remover with cotton pads to remove all my eye makeup. This eye makeup remover is decent enough to remove my heavy duty waterproof mascara and the mascara fixer but I vastly prefer the RMK's Eye Make Up Remover to Beautymaker's as the former soothes my eyelids during the cleansing process! Do I make any sense?
I practise the triple cleansing not the double cleansing method. Scared my skin not clean enough.. Lol~~
Then I massage the EH Mild Cleansing Milk on the rest of the face avoiding the eye area and tissue off after a min or so. Following which I use the EH Green Tea Cleansing Tissue to wipe off any residue and also wipe my neck (because I also apply sunblock on my neck and all over any parts of my skin that is exposed to the sun).
Then I follow up with a facial wash, and depending on my mood, I use either the Blanchir Clay Wash or the EH Bubble O2 Cleanser. Then I will follow up with toner, serum, etc...
Occassionally, I also use the EH Water Proof Lip & Eye Remover Tissue. But I don't recommend this as it doesn't remove waterproof make up AT ALL! A total wash of my $$$.
This is my newest sunblock for my body. So far so good!
By the way, I what works for me might not work for you.
In case you are interested, my skin type is combi, dehydrated, sensitive and acne-prone.
