  It is almost the end of summer and the beginning of fall. If you are starting to feel that summertime sadness, you are not alone.

So, we might as well enjoy the last couple of weeks of summer, right? As…

Of course I don’t do all those steps daily but on Sundays I try to do every single one of them 💕
Cleanser : Cerave hydrating facial cleanser and Drunk elephant n9 jelly cleanser or from time to time byebye black head by SOMEBYME.
Exfoliant : The ordinary Solution de Peeling AHA 30% + BHA 2% or Hello Body Cocos pure coconut coffee face scrub.
Lip scrub : Sugar lip polish by Fresh.
Lip mask : Laneige lip mask + vaseline on top.
Toner : Laneige essential balancing Emulsion.
Essence : Advanced Snail 96 Mucin power essence by COSRX.
Serum : Protini power peptide resurf serum by drunk elephant.
Mask : any sheet mask from Sephora.
Lashes : Grande lash above the lash line for growth and castor oil directly on the lashes.
Moisturizer : Advanced Snail 92 all in one cream by COSRX + Cerave moisturizing Cream for dry to very dry skin.
Anti aging : Yves Rocher Beauty Elixir 100% Botanical Origin ( I usually use Guasha right after that).
Anti-imperfections : The ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
That’s my whole routine, it can take a long time to complete so I usually listen to my favorite songs and enjoy an iced coffee while doing it 🧖‍♀️💅🏻

Hello! I love your blog and would like to ask for your advice. I want to look like an elegant, expensive woman. However, I am having a hard time applying makeup and setting up a skin care routine. Do you have an tips or resources on how to wear makeup elegantly and care for one's skin (for those new to makeup and skin care)?
What are the basic products needed for a dewy, classy make up look? Do you have any tutorials?
What are the basic products needed for healthy, minimal skin care routine?
Thank you for reading this ask! Have a great day!
Hi love! Sharing some of my tips below:
Skin:
Always use a disposable cloth when washing your face: Regular towels store bacteria and can cause breakouts too easily. These facial wipes from Amazon are my holy grail.
Wear sunscreen daily: Yes, even when you spend all day indoors. UV rays can interact with your skin through windows, too.
Niacinamide, Vitamin C Hyaluronic Acid, & Tea Tree Oil are among the few skincare ingredients almost everyone should consider incorporating into their skincare routine.
Learn the correct order to apply the products in your skincare routine: Cleanser, Toner, Serum, Eye Cream, Spot Treatment, Moisturizer, Sunscreen (or Retinol/Skin Oil at night).
Remember: From a dermatologist's perspective, your face starts (or ends) at your nipples. So, ensure you're cleansing, exfoliating, and applying sunscreen daily to your neck, chest, and décolletage to keep your skin smooth, youthful, and well-hydrated.
Vaseline is a great (affordable) alternative to traditional eye creams.
Sugar scrub your facial hair for a more gentle alternative to waxing (Combine sugar, lemon, and water). Laser hair removal, especially under your arms and your arms/legs is life-changing.
Follow up a warm shower with a dry brush and coconut oil for smoother, firmer skin.
Always apply a hydrating lip balm, mask, or Vaseline, hand cream, and moisturizer to your feet before going to sleep.
Layer complementary scents. Ensure the scents of body wash, lotion, and perfume work well together and don't clash.
Makeup:
Learn your skin undertones and educate yourself on color theory (I can create a short ebook/PDF if you want some more educational content on these types of topics – I write about them for a living!).
Test any foundation, concealer, or face powder on your wrists, too.
Don't forget to color-match your bronze and blush: They can appear orange or muddy if you don't find a product with the correct shade or undertones for your skin type.
Invest in products that go on your face, brow products, and eyeliners. Great mascaras and lip products are easy to find at a drugstore or relatively cheap (I suggest Covergirl and NYX, respectively).
Apply concealer in a triangle; don't dot it around your eyes for better coverage.
If you have oily skin (or it's humid outside), apply powder before your liquid/cream products. Set them again with a light powder to lock the color in.
Apply mascara from tip to base for the best lashes of your life: One coat on the tip, another from middle to tip, and the last coat from base to tip.
In a pinch, use a fragrance-free moisturizer and a Q-tip to remove excess makeup (no more raccoon eyes).
Use a light nude or white eyeshadow underneath your brow to make them appear more defined.
Apply face powder under your eyes to help the eyeliner on your waterline last longer.
Create a simple daily makeup routine formula: 1 skin coverage (foundation/concealer), 1 skin color (a favorite blush or bronzer), brows, mascara, an eye-definer (eyeliner or shadow), and a signature "your lips but better" lip shade (1-2 shades deeper or lighter than your natural lip color): This formula provides you the basics, so you never have an excuse not to put yourself together for the day (5-10 minute routine here).
Discover your day-to-night hero product: Always keep a slightly deeper lipstick, a smoky eyeshadow, or liquid liner in your bag to transition your day look into the evening with one portable product.
Hope this helps xx

You were almost religious with your skincare. You took pride in taking care of your skin and it was something you loved doing in the morning. You loved the routine of layering your skin in different serums and creams and watching them work their magic. Whenever Johnny was home, he loved watching you from the bathroom doorway or sitting on the toilet seat. Because of his job you two didn’t get to share many domestic or intimate moments like this so Soap took what he could get. Soap always pestered you to let him do it for you and you always said no.
“Come on hen I could it!” Was something you always heard when he was home and you smiled but said no.
You were staring at yourself in the mirror getting ready to wash your face when Soap woke up; he had always been a heavy sleeper, something that was a blessing when he was a teenager but something that could get him killed in his line of work. Whenever he was home you did your best not to disturb him because you knew he didn't get much sleep when he was gone. Soap felt for your warm body and when he was met with cold sheets he took a look around to see the bathroom light on. The clock on his bedside table read “10:30”. He stretched and rolled out of bed to find you.
“Mornin’ Bonnie,” he said, walking over to your shared bathroom, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, his thick accent thicker with sleep. “Morning babe,” you smiled, grabbing your face wash and a towel. His eyes lit up whe he saw your face wash and bottles of serums lined up on the counter. You saw him eyeing your bottles and shook your head, a smile already forming on your face. “No Johnny no!” You said, knowing exactly what he was going to ask. “Oh please Bonnie!” He whined, wrapping his arms around your waist, resting his head on your shoulder.
You only wore a tank top so his stubble scratched your bare shoulder. “Johnny you don’t even know how to do it!” You laughed, making eye contact through the mirror. “Yes I do, I watch you all the time,” He replied, kissing and sucking on the sweet spot on your neck trying to get you to fold. “Johnny no st-” you started before he reached down to squeeze your ass. “Okay alright,” You laughed. “You won’t regret this bonnie,” he said, planting a kiss on your cheek with a smile too big for his face. “I think I already am,” You mumbled.
“Okay first thing is washing your face hen everyone knows that,” He said, turning on the hot water. “Of course,” You said, watching him reach in front of you to turn on the hot water. Soap squirted some face wash and his hands and worked it into a lather before rubbing it onto your face. You winced at how rough he rubbed the soap into your skin but didn’t say anything. You also didn’t say anything when he got soap in your eye and tried your best not to wince at the sting. “Okay time to rinse,” he said and you leaned forward rinsing off the soap, the stinging sensation finally going away.
He grabbed a towel and rubbed your face dry before picking up you up by the waist and setting you on the counter. He stepped in between your legs and you had to widen your legs to accommodate him. “Okay first bottle we’re gonna do is this nia…niacin..” He said, struggling to pronounce the name written on the label. “Niacinamide?” You offered, trying not to chuckle. “Yeah that’s it,” He smiled and you wanted to tell him he wasn’t supposed to use it yet but you kept quiet. “What’s this for?” He asked. “It does a lot of things but it mainly helps with pores and textural irregularities,” You told him.
Johnny nodded and used the pipette to drop the serum onto your face and you were surprised that he was gentle in his kneading compared to the face wash. “Does that feel nice hen?” He asked and you smiled. “Of course it does love,” You said. “Okay now for the hylronic acid,” He said, and you couldn’t help but laugh at how he pronounced the name. “This one is to help bring moisture back into my skin,” You told him, knowing he was going to ask.
“I can’t believe you do this every morning bonnie,” he said, emphasizing the “every morning” in disbelief. “So many steps,” said Soap, screwing the tiny lid back onto the bottle. You hadn’t realize how small his hands made the bottles seem. “Every morning,” you emapsized. “I do it at night too,” you smiled and he shook his head. “Caffeine and de puffing,” he looked at the tiny bottle in his hand. “You put it on my undereyes. It helps to de-puff and energize them,” You instructed him. Johnny put some of the thick liquid on your undereye. He started massaging it into your skin when some of the serum got into your eye and you recoiled.
“Oh shite sorry y/n” he said, a worried look taking over his face. “Don’t worry about it hun I’m okay,” you said, trying not to tear up from the pain. “What’s next?” You said, genuinely wondering since he did the routine out of order. “This is the only one left. Plant-based squaline,” he said, again reading the label. “This one does a lot of things too; enhanced barrier support, moisturizing, all kinds of stuff,” You said, watching him unscrew the lid and drop the oily liquid onto your skin. “You really need all of this stuff?” He asked, curious. “I don’t need it but it does help,” You said.
He did take care to massage your skin more carefully to avoid your eyes. “Last is this right?” He said, holding up your lotion. “That’s right,” You said, watching him pour some lotion onto his hand and rub it together before spreading it on your skin. You focused on the feeling of Johnny’s fingers massaging the lotion into your skin and listening to his soft humming as he focused on his work. You enjoyed the simply intimate moment between the two of you, not knowing when you’d get the chance again to enjoy it. “Does it really feel that good?” He asked and you opened your eyes to find him smirking. “It did feel really good,” you whispered, planting a kiss on his lips.
“So how’d I do bonnie?” He asked, looking a little too pleased with himself and you couldn’t bring yourself to tell him he did it completely out of order and hurt your eye not once but twice. “You did great Johnny,” you said smiling at him. “Really think so?” He said, helping you down from the counter. “Well….. Maybe it’s best to leave the skincare to me. You did the wrong steps and hurt my eye. Twice,” You said, with a small smile. “Okay no need to be cheeky hen I’ll leave you to your thing,” He laughed. You stood on your toe to give him a kiss. “I wouldn’t mind you watching me though,” You said. Soap slipped his arms around your waist and returned your kiss. “I wouldn’t mind doing that,”

👉🏻👈🏻 Can you go into your skin care routine a little bit as in what order you apply things and how long in between applying products (like is it immediately or do you wait 5 mins to let the first stuff dry/sink in before the next product)?
I get so lost with skin care that I get discouraged and then dont so anything.
oh god this is probably gonna be really long but,
so for the pm- Basically with most of the humectant (moisturizing stuff) you wanna apply that as soon as you get out of the shower and in quick succession so that any water and moisture can get absorbed into the skin and not just evaporate. assuming you shower at night like a sane person this should be your first step when you get out of the shower, you can not wipe off your face with your towl to keep your face damp for longer, i usually don't even wait to put on my pj's before i sit infront of my little skincare stack and start to slap stuff on my face.
the first batch is stuff like the cosrx snail mucin, cosrx glactanomicies ferment filtrate and hyaluronic acid (you'll see a lot of people tell you that 'the ordinary' one is bad but tbh it's fine and cheap, but a good option is also the one from good molecules, neither of them are more than 10$).
if you do not shower at night or wait to long and your skin gets dry, then you want to preface all of your skincare with some sort of toner; the lineage cream skin is absolutely amazing- especially if you have redness and inflamed skin- it is a little bit pricey but tbh most toners run in the 15-30 per 60oz range. these can last you up to 6 months. my leniege one was actually a gift from a follower for my last birthday and i've been using it very sparingly. i immediately follow it up with snail mucin, hyaluronic acid, or something light and hydrating, this is the first barrier of skincare that kind of cushions your skin if you plan on using an actives.
You want to sandwich all of the stuff that dries out your skin from acne, takes care of your fine lines and wrinkles, or chemically exfoliates your skin between your serum and cream. now is when you get into the waiting- when you start to apply your actives.
Actives are stuff like retinols/retinoids, aha's or lactic acids, bha's or glycolic acids, salicylic acids, and niacinamide. these are things that can damage your skin if improperly used. for me- aha's feel a little less damaging than glycolic acids. aha's and bha's are generally a once a week thing especially if you're just starting out. niacinamide help with sebum and clogged pores as well as pigmentation issues, salicilic acid is also something that kinda helps keep your skin sterile from acne causing bacteria, if you have sensitive skin introduce these very very slowly, start with niacinamide and work your way up. i apply niacinimide almost every day and everything else as needed.
next you have your eye cream- it can change based on what you want to solve, if you have fat loss around your eye (ie deep set eyebags like mine) you want to use stuff thats going to thicken the skin faster- staying away from stuff that decreases blood flow like caffeine, if you have dark circles- you want stuff that has brightening agents. if you have fine lines- then eye patches (mini eye face masks basically) and a super hydrating undereye cream will help. i tend to lean for the hydrating stuff. because i have dry under eyes, fine lines, and fat loss.
the ones ive tried are the cosrx snail peptide eye cream, the beauty of jeoseon ginsent and retinal eye cream, the mizon snail repair eye cream, the purito green level eye cream, the haru haru wonder cream the inky list retinol and caffine eye creams, the good molecules, yerba mate wake up eye gel, and the milky dress wrinkle and whitening eye cream. the ONLY ONES that i saw ANY difference with are the good molecules, milky dress, and haruharu, but the one from good molecules is adequate under makeup and the best by far and cheapest.
fat loss is one of the main reasons why you want to stay away from things like lash growth serums, there are some that claim to not cause fat loss, but tbh, seeing as the only way to fix it is via invasive cosmetic surgery- i wouldn't risk it. it's not worth it.
Next i go in with a cream. and then acne gel over top and then you're done!
So basically
shower
Toner,
hyaluronic acid/serum/hydrator
wait until skincare has absorbed,
Apply actives if you desire actives to fix issues, wait inbetween each application so that the skincare has time to sit and soak in,
You can apply your eye cream at the same time as these steps, because usually actives should not go around the eye area.
Cream, no need to wait
Acne treatment
hope that helps! i have to start my workout now~~~ good luck!

⭐️Overall rating: /5:10!! 💰Price:$116

Ok but ultimate skincare routine? Your skin looks fab ✨ (if the answer is I like to scrub my face with clear water I'll take it too)
thank you kindly! I’m finally at the stage where I’ve stopped Trying New Things because I’ve found a routine and a selection of products that work perfectly for me. (acting like it was a choice and not that Into The Gloss stopped putting out content and therefor I stopped being influenced by Top Shelves.)
- I cleanse with DHC Deep Cleansing Oil, which is my favourite and the best cleanser I’ve ever used. the hype is real. when I’m feeling too lazy for it I cleanse with Baby Lotion on a cotton pad (amazing makeup remover) followed by micellar water. 
- I exfoliate with Glossier Solution. I’m probably on my 5th bottle of it, and I got my girlfriend hooked as well. it is phenomenal. when I first bought it I was like THIS DOESN’T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT STING but I stuck with it and it’s now a holy grail product. if I run out I panic. 
- the only serum I really use is The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (I’ve also used Glossier Super Pure which is niacinamide and zinc and liked that too).  
- in the summer I use Nivea Q10 day/night creams to moisturise, and in the winter I use regular ol’ Nivea or Glossier After Baume if I’m reeeeeally dry. it’s so thick it’s like Playdoh, I love it. 
- the only thing I’m still Trying To Decide On is retinol; I’ve used a couple of different brands (Boots Ingredients and The Inkey List, both fine) but haven’t noticed enough of a change/improvement in my skin to become hooked. obviously I would also love to try Lotion P50, but I have bills to pay. 
- SPF. luckily before I ‘got into skincare’ I was still a super pale redhead, so I always did SPF. I HAD NO CHOICE. I try to use a special face one and not just slap on my Nivea Sun Baby 50+ Very High, but sometimes I just slap on my Nivea Sun Baby 50+ Very High, especially in the summer. I’m currently using a La Roche-Posay one, but I’m not brand loyal.  
- I’m wringing the life out of a tube of Sunday Riley’s Good Genes that my aunt bought me as a gift. if I was slightly richer it would be on my biannual shopping list.��
- if I do get a spot, I whack a hydrocolloid patch on it. COSRX have great ones, but the Hydro-Star ones are so much cuter. 
all of this with the disclaimer that both of my parents have always had clear skin and I wear very little makeup. you won’t catch me putting anything heavier than a bb cream on my face. both times I’ve had ‘professional makeup’ done to me I arrived with clear skin and could feel myself breaking out halfway through the wedding breakfasts. diet-wise I would die before cutting out dairy and carbs but I do drink a lot of water! HOPE THIS HELPS YOU ON YOUR SKINCARE JOURNEY!!

Hello! If you do have any recommendations for skincare I would like them, acne is annoying lmao
OH BOY YES I DO!
okay so all skin has different sensitivities and needs and all that so what works for me might not work for you. there's a lot of different avenues you can go down for acne treatment but I'll try to go through things I know work for most people
this is gonna be long so putting it under a read more
first off, you gotta be washing your face twice a day if you don't already. I use cetaphil daily face wash which you can find in most drugstores, but another drugstore brand I've heard is very good is cervave! both brands have several different kinds of face wash, some that are more specific for acne, some that are hydrating if you have issues with dry skin, and some that are made for sensitive skin if you deal with irritation. I'd go through the different products they have and see what looks like it'd work best for you
most acne-specific face products use salicylic acid since that's a chemical proven to reduce oil and all that, but if you've used salicylic acid stuff and don't notice any improvement, you might want to try benzoyl peroxide acne products! panoxyl is another drugstore brand that carries acne face and body washes with benzoyl peroxide, and I use that for my chest and back acne (jury is still out as to if its actually helping or not. I'm still trying to figure out if salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide works better. do your research on both to see which one will work better for you!)
now if you want to add more than just face wash there is a whole variety of serums out there! my god tier, number one serum that I don't know how I lived without until now is niacinamide. niacinamide has been proven through research trials to be effective in reducing the amount of sebum (oil produced from your pores) your skin produces, and also reduces redness in skin. there are a lot of serums you can get that's a mix of stuff with niacinamide in it, but if you want a serum that's just straight up niacinamide (which I would recommend if you want to test out if it actually benefits you) both good molecules and the ordinary sell bottles of it for $6. the ordinary's serum is 10% niacinamide with 1% zinc, with the zinc there because I guess it's hydrating? good molecules is just 10% niacinamide without any zinc. there really isn't much of a difference between the two products, but for some reason good molecules serum worked way better for my skin than the ordinary's did, although I've known plenty of people who use the ordinary's version and love it.
(note: while both bottles say you can apply these niacinamide serums twice a day, in clinical trials it was shown that 5% niacinamide is what's effective on skin and they have no evidence higher concentrations does anything. so since these are both 10% niacinamide, you might want to just apply it once a day to reduce any risk of irritation)
if you have oily skin you might be hesitant about using moisturizer, but you have to use it bc if you try to dry your skin out your skin will just produce excess oil in response. what you want to look for in a face moisturizer is anything that's oil-free and non-comedogenic, which means it won't clog your pores. ideally, get a moisturizer that has spf in it as well (at least spf 30), that way you don't have to add an extra step to apply sunscreen on your face every day. right now I use cetaphil's daily face moisturizer with spf 35, but before that when I was a teen I used cetaphil's dermacontrol oil absorbing moisturizer with spf 30. the difference is that the dermacontrol is a bit more expensive, but it works to reduce the oil on your face so it's for people who really struggle with oily acne-prone skin. both products are oil-free and non-comedogenic so neither one will clog your pores. which one you use just depends on how oily your skin is
as far as taking care of individual pimples, while I've tried spot treatments with salicylic acid from the ordinary and good molecules, I don't really notice them doing much for me. what DOES make a difference is hydrocolloid pimple patches which dry out the skin and can really help reduce pimples. I like panoxyl's pimple patches, and you can get a pack of 40 for $8-$10
these are just the essentials for me! if you want any more 'special' products like masks or exfoiliants or oils lmk and I'll make a post about those but this is already long enough lol. I linked the products to their brand websites but you can find most of these either in drugstores, on amazon, or in stores like ulta or sephora
hope this helps!

6. do you have a favorite quote?
oooh not a quote per se, (and generally I can't settle on a favourite anything lol) but let me share a poem from Chris Tse in his anthology, How to be Dead in a Year of Snakes.
This one is my fav at the moment. I read the whole anthology in one sitting a few years ago and cannot praise it highly enough. [TW: racism, murder] - it discusses racism; murder; the way POC names are reduced to no more than representations of acts of violence done to them; the simultaneous glorification and spectacle of white murderers whose names and lives are remembered in the media for the atrocities they commit, while the voices of those they enact that violence upon are forgotten and buried.
It's so so so well written!! (also really looking forward to getting my hands on his queer anthology, He So Masc, which I haven't read yet, but I'll probably find my next favourite poem in ✨)

20. favorite skincare products?
My skin is super sensitive (she's just like me omg), so I really love things that don't have fragrance, are super hydrating, and work to restore the skin's moisture barrier. KLAIRs as a whole is just *chef's kiss*, I freaking 💖love💖 that brand! But here are some of my personal favs
Cleanser
Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash
Toner
KLAIRs - Supple Preparation Unscented Facial Toner
NEOGEN - Real Ferment Micro Toner
SIMPLE - Micellar Cleansing Water
Serum
THE ORDINARY - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (actual godsend)
KLAIRS - Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Drop (another godsend)
THE PLANT BASE - Quesera Ceramide
NEOGEN - H2 Dermadeca Serum Spray
Moisturiser
SIMPLE - Hydrating Light Moisturiser w Vit B5+E
MISSHA - Super Aqua Cell Renew Essential Moisturiser (WHY is it so expensive though 😭)
KLAIRS - Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask (love love love)
Sunscreen
NEUTROGENA - Ultra Sheer Face Lotion SPF50+
I'm still looking for a good sunscreen tbh, the sun is brutal in NZ and I'm white, so... 😬 lmao
25. what inspires you?
omg, everything and anything!! I'm taking this in a "what inspires you in terms of your art/writing" kind of way - most recently, music is inspiring me tons, especially watching the MVs for DPR Ian's songs. He is such a talented artist, and the way he explores mental health through the visual imagery in his self-directed videos is just on another level of artistry. Dude is so cool. Everything he creates is so vulnerable and real while being so pretty, I love it!

Hey, saw your post and I love skin care (though I have a long way to go to know my stuff lol)
just for context, my skin is mixed (?). It used to be really oily, and my pores were normal-to-big, especially on my cheeks, nose and forehead. The thing is that this oil came from my skin being really dry, which made it produce more oil to compensate it. Also, I leve in Brazil and it's always hot in here, so I sweat a lot, and naturally end up producing more sebum, so even now that my skin is more balanced, I still have days in which I get pretty oily. If it's colder, I get drier.
With that being said, I think that are two things that you should pay attention: Cleanser and Hydration.
For cleanser, I can say FOR MYSELF, that dry skin/sensitive skin works better on me. My skin isn't really SENSITIVE, but it can get dry easily if I use cleansers that are too strong, and this ends up sensitizing it a bit. I don't like Squeaky Clean on my face or things that are too refreshing, like mint-feeling. So I use a cleanser that doesn't give me any of that. It's way more creamy in the sensation, and I love it (but it's from brazil, so I won't recommend it to you. There must be lots of other products in your country that would do it for you if you keep that in mind)
One thing that IS your friend is OILS. Every dirt in your face has at least some proportion of 'oil', cuz it's hydrophobic. This means you'll need something hydrophobic to get it out eventually AND/OR a product that will control the size of pores/the amount of sebum you produce.
I have a facial soap (no idea if that's how I should say it, but that's what it is lol) and a cleansing oil from hadalabo (the yellow one). For the cleansing oil, I recommend you sit it in your skin for a few minutes, so it can dissolve the oils in your face. Then, gently rub it (be careful not to rub too much or else the friction can hurt your skin and leads it to produce more oil)
Before, I used to clean my face with Essencial Fatty Acids (We have some tubs for it to scars that we can buy at the pharmacy, I suppose it's something that you might find as well) and I saw BIG DIFFERENCE in my skin. It will depend on your preference, really. The EFA one must be taken out with soap and the cleansing oil can be taken off with only water, if that's what the product recommends.
Things that might help your case: Niacinamide, Retinol and/or BHA/AHA products. They're not a MUST but they might help reducing the oiliness and control its production. You have to be careful, though, cuz not everyone tolerates it. I'd try for a serum or toner with it, just because it's easier to find those ingredients like that, and it won't take too much of your time.
One with niacinamide that I love is the Cosrx snail essence. Would recommend it 10/10. It's hydrating (not enough for winter, but it's good for me on summer)
Then, you have to find a good moisturizer. I don't have any to recommend 'cuz I didn't find THE ONE for me yet. I skin the rice one from Cosrx, but it's heavy for me, so I can't use it during the day. IT'S AMAZING OVERNIGHT, THO. 10/10. What I think you should mind is your preferences and daily routine. If you don't like the heavy ones, you won't use them. Skincare must be enjoyable, it's a moment of self-care and you won't incorporate it in your routine if it's just an obligation.
I like having one for sensitive skin, for when I shave and stuff. It helps calm down my skin. And I have one that is heavier which is great for both when my skin isn't great and is sensitive (waso shiseido. I don't know if I'd buy it again cuz of its price) but I can't put make up on with that. I'm looking for one that is in the middle of the way now SUHAHUSAUHSAUH
And sun screen and tons of water
THat's like the range of a drabble SUHAUHSAUHSAHUHUASHUSAUHSAUHSA But I hope it's helpful somehow.
this is INSANELY helpful but i'm so overwhelmed with all these products why have i never heard of any of these 😭😭😭 i have a feeling that i don't rlly know my skin at all tbh like idk what's best for it because so far no routine i've tried has helped and that's why i hated skin care for so long because if you don't see any progress you lose motivation yk?? all the comments under my post are so helpful but now i'm like so fkekifje like where to start JFJEJFJE. thank you so much tho omg i will come back to this post and check out the products!! 🫶🫶🫶

Self care
Skin
Your skin as the ultimate canvas, a masterpiece that tells your unique story. From laugh lines to sun-kissed freckles, our skin is a testament to our experiences, emotions, and personal journey.
And the secret to maintaining that natural radiance? Skincare.
Skincare is no longer just an indulgence; it’s an essential ritual that helps us navigate the daily rigors of life with flair and finesse. Our skin, the largest organ in the human body, acts as a critical barrier against harmful elements and helps regulate our internal body temperature.
So, read on as we unfold the secrets to maintaining a stunning complexion, all while nourishing your body’s largest organ. Say goodbye to dull, lifeless skin and hello to a healthier, more confident you!
Importance of Skincare
Protects from Sun Damage
Sun damage is no joke.
The sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause premature aging, sunburn, and even skin cancer. In fact, 90% of skin aging is caused by sun exposure.
But fear not!
To keep your skin protected and avoid these risks, you should:
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days. Seek shade during peak sun hours (10 A.M. to 4 P.M.). Wear protective clothing, such as hats and sunglasses. Don’t let the sun steal your youth—protect your skin now to prevent damage later on.
Enhances Skin’s Natural Barrier
Your skin has a natural barrier that keeps moisture in and harmful substances out. This barrier comprises lipids and is essential for maintaining healthy, hydrated skin. However, harsh cleansers, environmental factors, and even aging can weaken this barrier over time.
To strengthen your skin’s natural defense, you should:
Use gentle, pH-balanced cleansers. Avoid over-exfoliating. Incorporate products with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or niacinamide into your routine.
Hydration
Just like your body, your skin needs proper hydration to function effectively. Dehydrated skin can lead to a dull, lifeless complexion and exacerbate fine lines and wrinkles.
When your skin is well-hydrated, it appears plumper, healthier, and more radiant. To keep your skin hydrated, be sure to:
Drink at least eight glasses of water daily Use a moisturizer suited for your skin type. Incorporate a hydrating serum or face oil into your routine.
Soothes Inflammation
nflammation is the skin’s natural response to irritation, injury, or infection. When left unaddressed, it can lead to redness, puffiness, and even long-term damage.
By incorporating skincare products that help reduce inflammation, you can:
Calm irritated skin. Minimize redness. Promote overall skin health.
Prevent premature Agening
Aging is a natural part of life, but premature aging can be prevented with the right skincare routine.
Free radicals, UV rays, and pollution can all contribute to the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. Antioxidant-rich skincare products, such as those containing vitamin C, E, and green tea extracts, can neutralize these harmful elements and help maintain your skin’s firmness and radiance.
What are some skincare practices for different skin types?
Skincare practices can vary depending on your skin type. It’s essential to understand your skin type to cater to its specific needs effectively. Here are some suggestions for different skin types:
Normal Skin:
 If you have normal skin, it’s essential to maintain a balanced routine. This includes cleansing your face twice a day, using a gentle exfoliator once or twice a week, moisturizing daily, and applying sunscreen before heading outdoors.
Dry Skin:
For dry skin, focus on hydrating and nourishing your skin. Choose a gentle, hydrating cleanser, and avoid harsh exfoliants. Opt for a rich moisturizer that can lock in moisture and apply it frequently. Don’t forget to use sunscreen, as dry skin is more prone to sun damage.
Oily Skin:
If you have oily skin, it’s vital to control excess oil production without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Use a gentle foaming cleanser twice a day, exfoliate with a BHA or AHA product once or twice a week, and opt for an oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Sunscreen is a must and look for a lightweight, matte finish formula.
Combination Skin:
 Combination skin requires a tailored approach. Cleanse your face twice daily, focusing on the oily T-zone. Exfoliate gently once or twice a week, and use a lightweight moisturizer for the entire face, adding an extra layer to the dry areas. As always, apply sunscreen before going out.
Sensitive Skin:
For sensitive skin, gentle is the keyword. Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser, avoid harsh exfoliants, and choose a hypoallergenic moisturizer. Be sure to apply a mineral-based sunscreen, which is typically less irritating than chemical sunscreens.se
