SIMPLE BEAUTY SKIN CARE ROUTINE 2019

Hey everyone.
2019 is here and we all are wondering how to make the most of this year.
Why don't we start with our skin care so that it will thank us for the whole lifetime.

So let's see what can be done with our skin care routine this year.

DOUBLE CLEANSING

Take off your makeup when you reach home. Use makeup remover or micellar water in a cotton pad and remove it. This is not only for people with full makeup but even if you wear just your eye makeup or lipstick, you have to do it. Your skin needs to breathe. Then wash your face with plain water and then use your cleanser or cleansing milk according to your skin type. Wearing makeup for a long time can cause skin problems like acne issues no matter how expensive/good your products are.

You can use DIY makeup removers according to your skin type. Wash your face at least twice a day.

Some of the affordable makeup removers are

👉 Lakme absolute Bi- phased makeup remover

👉 Biotique bio almond oil soothing face and eye makeup cleanser

👉 Maybelline new york clean express total clean makeup remover

👉 Neutrogena oil free eye makeup remover
👉 Simple kind to skin micellar cleansing water

👉 Garnier skin naturals micellar cleansing water

👉 Garnier skin naturals micellar oil- infused cleansing water
👉 Bioderma sensibio H2O micellar water

👉 Maybelline new york micellar
👉 Nivea skin breathe micellar water

👉 Faces hydro makeup remover

👉 Kaya hydra cleanse makeup remover

👉 Revlon eye and lip makeup remover

TONING

We often skip this step and directly move to moisturizer. Toner has to be given more importance and let's realise it's value in this year. Even after cleansing, you can't get rid of all the dirt. There are dirt deep inside your pores which can only be cleaned by toning. Take your toner in cotton pad and gently go over your face in slight sweeping and dabbing motion. Instead you can also spray your toner directly to your face. It provides required refreshment to the skin.

Rose water is the best toner especially if you have normal to dry skin. For combination to oily skin, try using tea tree toners. If you have more oily skin, then astringents are meant for you. Use them as your toners.

HEAD TO YOUR SERUM

Yes you heard it right. Face serums aren't just meant to be used when you reach your 30's. Those are just anti ageing serums specially meant for them but that is not what I mean here. The right time to use face serums is when you are in your 20's. The right way to use it is after toning and before moisturizer. Serums help your skin to get the most out of your moisturizer. It's like double moisturization. You can use it once or twice a day. It contains active ingredients and penetrates deep into the skin targeting various skin issues.

There are a lot of serums available in the market.
                           

I will list out some of the best serums

👉 Seer secrets pink graefruit, ratanjot & saffron lightening and brightening age corrective serum
👉 Jeva vitamin C serum with hyaluronic acid

👉 Olay white radiance brightening intensive serum
👉 Juicy chemistry argan & rose day serum
👉 Juicy chemistry helichrysum & rosehip serum
👉 Vilvah teatree and neem anti acne serum

👉 Kaya brightening serum

MOISTURIZER

This simple step makes a big difference to your skin. One common mistake people do is they assume that oily skin doesn't need moisturizer. But it's totally wrong. In fact if you skip this, your skin will get more oily. When you skip moisturizer, skin get more dry first since it lacks moisture. Then it starts producing more and more oil in excess to moisturize and thus causes breakouts. Hence it's more important to use a correct moisturizer.

👉 Lakme peach milk

👉 Suganda white lotus moisturiser

👉 Biotique morning nectar flawless skin moisturizer

👉 Neutrogena oil free moisturizer

👉Plum geen tea mattifying moisturizer
👉 Seer secrets aloe vera, chironji & carrot seed SPF milk lotion

👉 Olay moisturizing cream

👉 Olay white radiance brightening intensive moisturizer

👉 Nivea soft cream and Nivea creme

SUNSCREEN

It's more important to use a sunscreen on a daily basis even if you don't step out. Invest in a good sunscreen which meets all your needs. Use a sunscreen even if it's a cloudy day or even during rains and winters. It's important to choose a sunscreen with both UVA and UVB protection. If your sunscreen has SPF 15 then it will protect you for 150 minutes..It's better to use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or even 50..Apply your sunscreen at least 20 minutes before stepping out and allow it to get absorbed before applying anything on your face. Make it a skincare resolution not to skip sunscreen for even a single day. Even if you have moisturizer with more SPF, you shouldn't skip your sunscreen.

Invest in a good body lotion too with SPF.

FACE SCRUBS

Investing in the right type of scrub for your skin type is more important than simply getting one scrub and adding it to your skin care routine. Choose what your skin needs. Switch to gentle mild scrubs when you use them on alternative days like thrice a week. Exfoliate for at least 2 minutes in circular motions very gently and pat it dry. Don't be harsh with your skin since that can cause micro tears. If you have more dry skin, then scrub using aloe vera gel with sugar. Switch to more natural products this year.

FACE MASKS

Pamper your skin like a baby. Use sheet masks weekly once for better results. Don't believe in "a mask a day challenge", since anything in excess won't work well and will cause issues. Go for the face shop sheet masks, garnier sheet masks, dearpacker or innisfree masks.

NIGHT CREAM

We all would take care of our skin so well during the day but we often forget that our skin repairs during the night time. So it's important to use a night cream to keep our skin moisturized so well. Always opt for more thick creamy night cream for night time so that it would stay all night long and you wake up with soft skin. Choose night creams which are vitamin E, vitamin C and anti oxidants based to repair skin from damages.

👉 Kaya brightening night cream

👉 Garnier skin naturals white complete night cream

👉 Plum green tea renewed clarity night gel

👉 L'Oreal paris white perfect night cream

👉 Lakme absolute youth infinity skin sculpting night creme

LIP BALMS

No introduction is needed for this product. Every girl must have used 2 to 3 lip balms. Keep using them and when you choose tinted ones, make sure it hydrates well too. It's better to use lip balms with SPF.
                                                  

👉 Nivea fruity shine lip balm

👉 Biotique bio fruit whitening lip balm

👉 Nivea original care

👉 The body shop vitamin E lip care SPF 15

👉 Palmer's cocoa butter formula lip balm SPF 15

Make sure you scrub your lips too. They too need exfoliation. You can use a wet toothbrush for exfoliating lips or make a DIY lip scrub using honey and sugar.

So these were some of the points you should remember in case of skin care routine.
Let this new year bring lots and lots of happiness to our lives.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019❤
