High Maintenance 101

Prissy Girl Beauty Regimens 🎀

my prissy girl guide to beauty services and building a beauty lifestyle that fits you 💗

Skincare:

Essential Skincare Routine ❤︎︎

twice daily, in the morning and at night

daytime: gentle cleanser, toner, serum, eye cream, moisturizer, SPF

prep and protect skin

nighttime: double cleansing with oil and cleanser, exfoliation, treatments, moisturizer

wash away the day and help skin accept treatments and actives during your beauty sleep

products will change depending on skin type and goals, but sequence will more or less stay the same

Face Masks + Treatments ❤︎︎

Face Masks -

typically done at home 1-3x/week

clay, gel, mud, cream, liquid

my fav masks at home:

aha + bha liquid mask by the ordinary: a literal overhaul of my pores. it’s refining and helps reduce texture and hyperpigmentation. 1-2 x/week

korean modeling mask: i use this after doing everything in my routine. it’s super cooling and smooths my skin out. the low temp of the mask reduces flushing of my skin and helps the steps in my routine absorb better. 2-3 x/week

Treatments -

done either 1-3x/week and/or exclusively at night

consumer grade Retinols, AHAs, BHAs at high strength

little extra things i like to use to enhance my routine:

gua sha, ice pack, rose quartz roller, however often i choose

Facials ❤︎︎

done every 1-2 months by licensed estheticians

often includes exfoliation and extraction

Classic Facial: cleanse, extract, massage, moisturize

HydraFacials: extracts pores while infusing serums to boost skin’s vitamin and nutrient content

dry, dehydrated skin

Microdermabrasion: microabrasive tool removes outermost, textured, damaged layer of skin using suction to reveal a smooth and refined new layer of skin

sun damaged, aged, textured skin or skin with hyperpigmentation

Chemical Peel: application of medical grade AHA, BHA, Lactic Acid, Fruit Enzymes, or Retinol to peel away top layers of skin over the course of 1-2 weeks

pore refining, brightening, and anti-aging

after care is crucial. skin will be peeling and sensitivity to sun is increased. SPF MUST be used. it’s heavily advised that clients stay home for the first few days.

HydroJelly Facial: facial made of electrolytes, algae, organic white grain oat flour, rice flour, and white willow bark powder. leaving your skin hydrated, plump, and nourished. forms a vacuum-like seal that compresses facial contours.

there are 25 different hydrojelly pro masks for most skin concerns you may have, check here

More Facials ❤︎︎

Contouring Facial: sculpting, tightening, and lifting of facial muscles

LED Facial: uses LED light to soothe inflammation, aiding in acne healing and prevention

Vampire Facial: plumps skin and improves wrinkles by extracting blood, removing its platelets, then either re-injecting it into the skin or applying it topically

Diamond File Facial: finely ground diamonds resurface skin by filing to improve dark spots

Glass Skin Botox: multiple tiny botox injections just below the surface of the skin. alleviate fine lines, redness, texture, and more achieving glass skin

AquaGold Facial: microinjections that combine vampire facial methods, hyaluronic acid, botox, stem cells, antioxidants, vitamins, peptides, etc. improves fine lines, wrinkles, pores, pigmentation, acne scarring, dryness, tone, texture, skin elasticity, and more

Hair:

Hair Care ❤︎︎

Wash Routines:

curly textured: wash and condition every 2-3 weeks, deep condition every 1-2 weeks

straight: wash and condition every 2-3 days, deep condition every 2-3 weeks

Styling ︎❤︎︎

Hair should have a style everyday! At home hairstyling is limitless and really depends on your taste and lifestyle. The everyday woman does her own her once every 1-4 weeks using natural hair products, heat, or other tools.

Professional Stylists:

hair is styled every 1-3 months: uses heat to straighten or curl, extensions to lengthen and add volume, shears to maintain/attain a shape and length

trim ends: every 6-8 weeks

hair color: touched up roughly every 6-8 weeks (depending on how fast your hair is growing and how fast your color will fade)

Silk Press:

after a clarifying wash and deep conditioning, natural hair is straightened using flat iron and/or pressing comb, then usually curled in feathers or pin curls to preserve the style

lasts 3-4 weeks depending on maintenance

preserved by wrapping hair at night, keep hands out of hair, and using a wide toothed comb only

can be further styled with different kind of rollers, or with pin curls

Braids:

afrocentric hairstyles typically done to protect hair while maintaining beauty

lasts 3-8 weeks

styles include knotless braids, faux locs, stitch braids, french braids, etc

Extensions:

hair added to natural hair to enhance length or volume

can be done at home with patience and proper materials

sew-in extensions: (my personal fav) 1-2 months

your natural hair gets braided down flush to your scalp and the bundles are sewn on by the wefts in a flat pattern typically with a section of hair left out to cover the wefts $100-600

microlinks: up to 4 months

i-tip extension is added to hair using micropliers, clippers and loop tool. takes far longer than most extension methods but looks the absolute most natural $500-1000

tape-in extensions: up to a year, touch ups every 4-6 weeks

medical grade tape is used to attach extensions to small sections of hair $200-400

clip-in extensions: 3-6 months

extensions are clipped on by the wefts. the hair itself can last up to six months, but it’s not recommended to sleep, shower, or swim with the extensions in $50-100

Natural Styles:

all last roughly 1-2 weeks at most. allowing hair to completely DRY is crucial for these styles. your natural hair can be further changed in styles like buns, puffs, etc once dry

natural hair essentials: scalp oil, leave in conditioner, detangling brush, wide tooth comb, curling cream, styling gel, edge control and edge brush

wash n’ go

wash and detangle, then use leave in conditioner to keep hair moist. oil on the scalp and ends is recommended for growth and healthy ends

bantu knots

a traditionally african style where the hair is cleanly sectioned (usually parted in a cute pattern) and twisted into knots. style can be worn just like this or taken down for curls

braid/twist out

a specific pattern of curls is achieved after hair is twisted or braided with curl preserving products. end result depends on how big your twists or braids are

roller set

hair is sprayed with water and curl cream applied before roller of your choice is added. hair is left to dry usually overnight for springy well formed curls

Brows and Lashes:

Brow Shaping ❤︎︎

in salon or at home

Waxing - every 3 weeks

Threading- every 2-3 weeks

Razor Shaping - weekly

Brow Enhancement ❤︎︎

Tinting - monthly

can be done at home or by pro in the salon

Microblading - every 1-3 years + annual touch ups, exclusively professional work

cosmetic tattooing using a manual tool with nearly invisible hair-like needles to inject pigment in brows to create your desired brow look

Lash Enhancements ❤︎︎

*done exclusively by professionals

Lifts - every 6 weeks

basically a perm for your lashes to curl them semi-permanently for lashes to appear longer

Lash Extensions - new set every 6-8 weeks, fill ins every 2-3 weeks depending on quality and style

false individual strands of lashes glued to natural lashes to create semi-permanent length and/or volume

lash baths: wet lashes and apply a small amount of gentle cleanser or a “lash bath” to lashes. cleanse lashes and eyelids for about 10 seconds. hold a towel under your eye and use a nozzle bottle to flush soap and bacteria from lashes then dry with a disposable lint free towel. finish by brushing your lashes with a spoolie. daily.

Lash Styles:

Classic: one lash on each fan, thin lashes

Volume: fluffier lashes with more lashes on each fan

Hybrid: uses classic and volume lashes to make an alternated look

Russian: volume lashes made with very thin individuals, 5-6 extensions per natural lash, fanned out look

DIY Lash Extensions - lasts about a week (sometimes longer)

lash fragments or individual wisps are glued either under the lashes or on the lash line. KISS Falscara is a product that makes this concept simple and easy

Nails:

all these services can be done at home with the proper materials and KNOWLEDGE

Classic Manicure ❤︎︎

every 1-2 weeks

nail service that consists of soaking hands in warm soapy water then drying them. nails are trimmed, filed, and buffed. cuticles are pushed back before applying nail polish (base coat, color, top coat), then finally cuticle oil is applied.

nails can be enhanced with rhinestones, glitter, or charms and attached with uv gel or nail glue

my fav styles are pink, cream, white, black and any french tip using those colors

Pedicure ❤︎︎

every 2-4 weeks

sister to the classic manicure, but can be upgraded depending on materials. steps are similar to manicure, except feet are scrubbed and exfoliated before feet are washed and dried to apply nail color

regular polish, acrylic, or gel can be used on toenails

Gel or Shellac Mani ❤︎︎

every 2-3 weeks

same process as the classic manicure, but traditional nail polish is replaced with uv base coat, gel or CND Shellac polish, then uv top coat that’s cured in a UV or LED lamp

longer lasting and more strong/3d than classic mani and is typically removed by soaking in acetone

Apres Gel-X Nails ❤︎︎

every 2-3 weeks

my personal fav at home nails using the artme yoko matsuda nails. after doing a classic mani sans polish, you apply a dehydrator and primer to prep nail for gel. then you apply builder gel to your natural nail and cure. then you apply that same builder to the nail extension after etching it using an electric drill or acetone. marry the gel to your nail and cure. then just shape to your liking and top with uv top coat. tutorial here

Acrylic Nails ❤︎︎

every 2-3 weeks, nails are fully grown out after 6 weeks

manicure done with liquid monomer and acrylic powder to build and extend natural nail, then polished with color or just a top coat if desired

Russian Mani ❤︎︎

every 4-5 weeks

essentially a gel manicure, but more invasive. the eponychium is snipped away so polish can be applied more closely and flush to the cuticle. this aids in visuals and longevity

service is seen as risky because the skin is more susceptible to fungal or bacterial infection. this is actually how i do my nails at home.

Body:

Bathing ❤︎︎

2x daily

self explanatory, we all know how to bathe. i have other posts that talk about my shower and bath routines.

use a gentle cleanser then a scented body wash to complement perfume and smell fresh all day.

if needed, you can use body soaps with actives like aha, bha or retinol to exfoliate or treat skin at night

exfoliation - 2-3x/week. using scrubs, loofahs, bath brushes, etc.

Hair Removal ❤︎︎

shaving - 2-3x/week

waxing - every 3-5 weeks

sugaring - monthly

ipl device - a device that uses light therapy to slowly destroy hair follicles and unwanted pigment in skin. i use mine after every 5-6 shaves but i could really use it more often.

Vajacial ❤︎︎

1-2x/month

a “facial” for your lady area

the esthetician will first wax, then cleanse and apply an enzyme exfoliant. then they extract any blackheads or ingrown hairs from the area before applying a soothing mask usually in the jelly form.

Moisture and Hydration ❤︎︎

body cream or lotion - daily right after bathing to hydrate skin

body oil - daily to seal in moisture and protect skin from debris and dryness

masks - weekly to address particular skin concerns

ex. when i was having eczema flare ups on my back, i used a dead sea mud mask every 1-2 weeks to help treat it

done at home or at spa

glycolic, clay, mud, salicylic, etc.

Enhancement Procedures:

the goal is to look younger and balance facial features. all these services are exclusively done by professionals usually in a medspa and are widely considered luxury.

Botox ❤︎︎

every 6-8 months; between brows, smile lines, outer corners of eyes, etc

discourages muscle movement to reduce wrinkles

Lifts ❤︎︎

lasts about 10 years; face, neck, brow, eyelids

skin is lifted to desired look, then excess skin is removed

Fillers ︎❤︎︎

every 6-12 months; under-eye, lips, jawline, wrinkle sites, cheekbones

injects acids (usually naturally occurring) like Hyaluronic Acid and Calcium Hydroxylapatite to add volume to your face

Body Contouring ❤︎︎

every 2-4 months until desired results are achieved

non invasive liposuction to achieve desired physique

CoolSculpting - cryolipolysis freezes fat cells for the body to the metabolize and and remove them

SculpSure - essentially the same as CoolSculpting, but uses heat and laser technology to destroy fat cells

Laser Hair Removal ❤︎︎

every 5-6 weeks; bikini, underarms, legs, arms

touch ups done every 1-2 years

hair growth is inhibited by exposing follicles to light at frequencies that kill them

Building the Regimen 🗒️💕:

when making appointments with your “glam squad” you can stagger your services by week depending on what’s being done. for example you can get your mani and pedi done one week. then your facials, brows and lashes another week.

Things to Keep in Mind 💭💞:

these frequencies won’t be the same for everyone depending on personal wants, budgets, etc. but will most likely land somewhere in the ranges i gave. if you need touch ups or redos any sooner than i mapped out, then the service most likely was of poor quality.

anything done at home may or may not be up to the level of detail and longevity as salon or spa work. if you see yourself doing the majority of your beauty maintenance at home, this can save money but may end up taking more time than professional services. so it’s a give and take.

UR SO PRETTY N FEMININE, literal definition of bimbo barbie 🤭 please give the girlies some tips on make up, skincare, and overall being more girly! thnxs🌷

-🐶

hey girlie!! THIS IS SOSO SWEET AWEE!!! here are some tips i have n some of my secrets!! ૮꒰ྀི >⸝⸝⸝<꒱ྀིა 🧁☁️🐇🌷

1. finding the vibe🧸

it's not hard to be hyperfeminine or a bimbo, do a lil research n see what you like! i mean there are 100s of popculture bimbos to follow after (elle woods, karen smith, regina george, blair waldorf, holly madison, cher from clueless) and with the modern hyperfemininity movement you can really be any type of girlie.

i listed above my fav bimbos above! i personally hyperfixated on different things in each of their personalities or lifestyle! i wanted a girlie room like maddy perez, elle woods intelligence, blair waldorf and regina georges fashion nd confidence, holly madison's...just everything, etc. just observe and manifest! writing this all down in a journal about your new feminine lifestyle may help you concentrate on ways to make you more feminine!!

2. skincare and makeup🧼

now let's start with skincare!

cleansers: i love a double cleanse! an oil cleanser will remove sebum and other icky stuff in your pores it also helps remove makeup after a day of wear. foam cleansing is next this go deep into the pores in more hard to reach areas or used to take care of any acne

toners: i love how plump and soothing toners are! i prefer toners that hydrate my skin and provide a layer of hydration making toners the perfect way to prep for serums!

serums: by targeting acne, dark spots, dry areas, etc with serums boosts your skin youth and complexion. just remember retonoids on dry skin, exfloxiators like aha and bha on dry skin before hylaronics like peptides, snail mucin, etc. ampoules are after serums to lock in all other products

treatments: tretnoin is my lifesaver! along with aha/bha! those masks should be washed off well or bleaching of the skin can occur especially with benzoyl peroxide!

moisturizer: depending on your skin type and concern your moisturizer will be different but remember you want non-striping or exfloxiating ingredients, otherwise it won't work! at night locking these products in with an oil or ointment like snail mucin oil or aquahor!

fav skincare brands: anua, cosrx, beauty of joseon, centella, and innisfree

bodyyyyy🍡

smelling good makes you feel good! pair different scents together makes you feel amazing and will let ppl become intoxicated with you. this goes with dressing you body type! personally i believe pink goes on everyone but if you want you can go by you undertones to find the right shades and colors will look good on you along with dressing to your comfort.

pretty mini skirts, dresses, paired with a lotioned body smelling of cake and fruit...perfection!

princess treatment🛍

here are some misc.d tips i put together for you! hope this'll help more

treat yourself like a princess, go shopping, relax in bubble baths, keep your room clean, spoil yourself daily...you deserve it!

style your hair, whether it's dying it or curling it have fun! showing off how pretty your hair is allows for focus to also be on your pretty face! that means taking care of your hair is important too!

search for different makeup styles, like gyaru, korean style makeup, baddie makeup, soft glam, etc each style will provide a different image or facade. just find what works for you and facial shape, but that doesn't mean you can't adjust different makeup style to fit your features.

keeping track on your journey of being a bimbo! write down milestones, different products you choose to use or different styles you want to try. remember this is all fun!

[theshinazugawaslut]

i love your prom photos so sad you took them down

was wondering if you could give us your skincare routine and if you could tell us what products have and haven't worked for you?

and your skincare prep for b4 makeup?

a/n: hello! of course i'm willing to do that — I'll link everything as well. it'll be separated into a few different sections: products i use (separated into different sections, and w/ a 'review'), products i tried but didn't like, morning + night routine, make-up skin prep routine. all products from LIKESKIN (check out their website)

SKIN TYPE: dry, acne-prone (I'm prone to pustular acne, cystic acne, and hormonal acne) & MY SKIN CONCERNS: hydration, acne, blemishes, scarring, and hyperpigmentation

THINGS I ALWAYS DO:

Retinol 2-3x a week Vitamin C 2x a week Mask 3x a week Exfoliating toner 2-3x a week

PRODUCTS I USE:

cleansers -

[IUNIK] Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil ;; gets make-up and sunscreen off, gentle and sensitive skin friendly, doesn't break me out.

[BEAUTY OF JOSEON] Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser - doesn't dry me out, gentle, foams up well, and cleanses my skin properly!

toners -

[ANUA] Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner - hydrating and soothing, helps take down my redness and blemishes

[NEEDLY] Daily Toner Pad - helps with texture and acne

[NUMBUZIN] No.5 Vitamin-Niacinamide - helps with acne scars and any darkness i have, i tend to put these on my cheek area and leave them for awhile

[BEAUTY OF JOSEON ] Green Plum Refreshing Toner: AHA + BHA - this is a light exfoliating toner that overall helps keep my rejuvenated

[DEAR KLAIRS] Supple Preparation Unscented Facial Toner - extremely hydrating, i use this every day and night so matter what, somewhat viscous

[SOMEBYMI] 30 Day Miracle Toner: AHA + BHA + PHA - exfoliating toner, don't use this if you have sensitive skin, but this helped me get rid of my pustules (acne filled with yellow pus)

serums -

[AXIS-Y] Dark Spot Glow Correcting Serum - mixed feelings on this serum since it helps a lot with my dark spots BUT it works on new scarring + if I use it too often, it triggers my acne.

[SKIN1004] Madagascar Centalla Asiatica Ampoule - incredibly soothing and hydrating, helps keep my acne under control

[The Ordinary] 10% Niacinamide Serum - started using this recently and i love it so much, helps the skin shine, removes texture, reduces acne and pore appearance

[The Ordinary] 0.5 Retinol - helps me extremely with acne; i worked up from 0.1% to 0.2% and now at 0.5%

[BEAUTY OF JOSEON] Retinal Eye Serum - i just love this one so much, very plumping

moisturisers -

[BEAUTY OF JOSEON] Dynasty Cream - i love this so, so much; hydrating, lightweight, and doesn't trigger my acne

[IUNIK] Centella Calming Gel - like the axis-y glow correcting serum, over-using this causes me some acne so i tend to use this once or twice a week, and it works wonders!

[COSRX] Centella Blemish Cream - HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT! this is genuinely one of the things that helped me clear my acne to extraordinary levels, especially when i had a huge breakout EVERYWHERE! i also use this as a spot treatment, repurchased this like seven times now

[DEAR, KLAIRS] Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask - using this with vitamin c works wonders and it overall enhances any dark spot removing products! very lightweight, jelly-like texture!

[I'm From] Vitamin Tree Water Gel - i adore this one so much; such a cooling, soothing moisturiser, and it targets almost every skincare concern ever, totally underrated!

sunscreen -

[AXIS-Y] Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen - only sunscreen that didn't make me break out and doesn't have white cast!

masks -

[I'm From] Mugwort Mask - i love this because everytime i have a breakout, it just helps me so much with redness.

[I'm From] Honey Mask - a miracle mask for an acne-prone person! one of my all-time favourite products! gives the skin a gorgeous shine as well! when i run out of this, i also just use manukka honey and oats!

/ so most of the products i use are anti-inflammatory, soothing, and target blemishes/texture/scarring; most people tend to forget that you should try and avoid anti-inflammatory products if you're not acne-prone because it may just end up triggering a breakout! all our skin is different! so here's PRODUCTS THAT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME:

(disclaimer: some of these products were good but i wouldn't repurchase!)

[BEAUTY OF JOSEON] Relief Sunscreen: Rice + Probiotics - sunscreen - triggered my pustular acne but was incredibly lightweight, super sad it didn't work out for me :(

[HARUHARU WONDER] Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner For Sensitive Skin - toner - i just didn't like this, it didn't do anything for me and caused my skin to itch.

[AXIS-Y] Mugwort Pore Clarifying Wash Off Pack - mask - i used all of this up and came to the conclusion it just didn't do much for me and was also incredibly difficult to wash off.

[BEAUTY OF JOSEON] Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide - serum - now, i genuinely loved this but it only gave me a glow and was very small, ran out too quickly! much better products that do the same job with more product and more cheap!

[BEAUTY OF JOSEON] Glow Deep Serum: Rice + Arbutin - serum - this triggered my pustular acne so bad that i threw it away almost immediately, nuh-uh!

[MIXSOON] Bean Essence - serum - this isn't bad per se, but i feel like it's a very overhyped product and doesn't do much other than boost hydration, i use it but i wouldn't buy it again

[NUMBUZIN] NO.3 Skin Softening Serum - serum - i have such mixed opinions on this one because it really does help with texture but not if you keep using it? so i'm not sure if i'd repurchase.

[NUMBUZIN] NO.5 Goodbye Blemish Serum - serum - feels heavy, doesn't do shit other than trigger my acne and make my skin itch

[SOMEBYMI] 0.1% Retinol - serum - definitely a great beginner-friendly retinol but far too light for me and my acne-infested skin :(

MORNING ROUTINE:

cleanser (green plum refreshing cleanser from Beauty of Joseon

toner (i'll switch between the ANUA Heartleaf one and the Dr, Klairs Supple one)

serum (i'll tend to use a soothing serum such as the SKIN1004 centella asiatica one or a vitamin C serum)

moisturiser (dynasty cream or vitamin-tree water gel)

sunscreen

NIGHT ROUTINE:

double cleanse (IUNIK cleansing oil + BoJ green plum refreshing cleanser)

mask (either honey or mugwort mask, leave for twenty minutes)

toner pad (leave on for five minutes minimum)

toner (usually an exfoliating toner at night-time or a hydrating toner)

serum (tend to opt for niacinamide + retinol at night)

moisturiser (usually the vitamin e mask OR dynasty cream)

spot treatment (COSRX Blemish Cream)

MAKE-UP SKIN PREP ROUTINE:

(this is what i did on the day of prom as well!)

toner pad (leave these on for ten minutes and rub around face, this helps hydrate the skin; i use the numbuzin ones)

niacinamide (helps tighten pore appearance and just helps in every single way)

soothing serum (centella asiatica to overall help the skin!)

moisturiser!

/ i hope this helps!

Example Text

干性皮肤 要注意补水、补油、防晒、防止损伤、补充胶原蛋白. Dry skin Pay attention to moisturizing, supplementing oil, SPF, preventing loss, supplementing collagen. 中性皮肤 算是比较完美的肤质，要注意防止损伤，保持现有状态

Normal skin Considered a rather perfect skin type, you need to pay attention to preventing loss, maintain your current skin status.

油性皮肤 注意清洁、控油、补充水分和保湿

Oily skin Pay attention to cleansing, oil control, moisturizing and hydrating. 混合性皮肤 根据不同肤质区域分开护理，T区注意控油，V区注意补水保湿和防止损伤. Combination skin Treat combination skin according to different skin areas separately, pay attention to oil control within your T-zone, pay attention to hydrating and moisturizing and preventing loss in your V-zone. 敏感性皮肤（不是过敏性皮肤） 由于这种肤质保水力差，皮肤屏障受损，所以在护肤时要注重修复、抗炎，防止各种刺激和损伤，防止日晒。建议用一些温和无刺激的产品，以及含有镇静修复成分（维生素E、神经酰胺等）

Sensitive skin (not irritated/allergic reaction skin) Since this skin type doesn't hold water well, the skin barrier is damaged, thus you should pay attention to repairing, anti-inflammation, preventing various irritants and losses, as well as sun damage during skincare. It is recommended that you use gentle and non-irritating products that have soothing ingredients (vitamin E, ceramide etc.)

不化妆也要每天卸妆 -> even if you don't put on make-up, you still need to use make-up remover/oil cleanser everyday

千万不要用任何含有酒精的护肤品 -> under no circumstances use any skincare products containing alcohol

爽肤水主要作用是对皮肤二次清洁 -> the main function of toner is to double-cleanse your skin

敷面膜刺痛是因为皮肤缺水 -> the pain/tingling from applying face masks is due to your skin lacking moisture

洗澡时毛孔扩张，污垢更容易深入毛孔将其撑大 -> when you bathe, your pore enlarge, pollutants and more can easily penetrate through your pores which can stretch your pores

收敛水可以收毛孔 -> astringent can reduce pores

衰老是从25岁才开始 -> aging starts at age 25

涂眼霜长脂肪粒是因为太油 -> developing milia from applying eye cream is due to excessive amounts of oil

护肤品分男女 -> skincare products are gender-separate

Go From Wrinkled to Youthful Skin With The Best Anti-Aging Skin Care Routine

There is no escape from aging. Even your favourite celebs, who have access to the best anti-aging regimen and procedures in the world, eventually show their age! And, while there is no way to completely stop the process, there are certainly ways to slow it down and maintain a youthful appearance for as long as possible.

Yes, wrinkles form and skin become dryer, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the world. With a solid skincare routine in place, you can defy Father Time and keep your skin radiant AF. So, if you're looking for the best anti-aging skin care routine, keep reading!

What Causes Aging?

As we get older, our skin begins to display signals of wear and tear. Wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots can make us look older than we really are. But why does that happen?

There are many external factors that can cause premature aging, including sun damage, smoking, pollution, and an unhealthy diet. But the main cause of aging skin is actually an internal one: the natural process of cell turnover.

Every day, our skin cells go through a cycle of growth and repair. As we get older, this process starts to slow down, and our skin cells don't regenerate as quickly. Moreover, our skin also lowers collagen and elastin production, and the fatty tissues below our skin decrease in size and volume. All this leads to the loss of our ability to retain moisture and the formation of those nasty visible signs of aging.

Best Skincare for Aging Skin: Your New Secret Weapon

When it comes to skincare, there are a lot of products and routines that promise to keep your skin looking young and glowing. But with all of the different options available, how do you know which ones are really effective?

Here are our secret anti-aging routines that will work wonders for you. So grab a pen and get ready to smooth those wrinkles!

A.M. Anti-Aging Skincare Routine

So, you wake up, look in the mirror, see those wrinkles and fine lines looking back at you, and you want to do something about it, right? This is how your A.M. anti-aging routine should look like:

1. Water-Based Cleanser

A water-based cleanser is crucial for anyone over the age of 30. This type of gentle cleanser will help to remove any dirt, oil, or sweat that has built up on your skin overnight. It helps to prep your skin for the rest of your anti-aging routine by getting rid of dead skin cells. Using these anti-aging products helps to remove impurities and keep your face moisturized, which is important because dehydration can lead to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

2. Toner

A toner helps to restore the skin's pH balance, which is essential for keeping the skin healthy and preventing wrinkles. It also helps to remove any remaining dirt that may be clogging pores, preparing your complexion for the next step.

3. Antioxidant Serum

Antioxidant serums, like l-ascorbic acid (aka vitamin C), moisturize and help protect the skin from environmental stressors by neutralizing free radicals before they can cause damage. Additionally, these anti-aging ingredients can help brighten the skin and give it a more youthful appearance.

4. Spot Treatment

Whether it's a wrinkle cream, eye cream, or salicylic acid to treat acne, apply your chosen spot treatment to address specific skin concerns.

5. Moisturizer

Moisturizers help to keep the skin hydrated and plump, which can reduce wrinkles and the appearance of aging skin. Using a moisturizer with SPF during the day can provide sun protection. Opt for creams or gels with powerful ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, or hyaluronic acid.

6. Facial Oil (Optional)

Including a facial oil can be beneficial, especially if you have dry skin. Jojoba oil is very similar to our own natural sebum, making it easily absorbed. It's also packed with antioxidants and vitamins that help protect the skin from damage.

7. Sunscreen

No matter your skin type, finish your morning skin care routine by applying a pea-sized amount of sunscreen on your face. Important: you can skip this step if your moisturizer has SPF.

P.M. Anti-Aging Skincare Routine

The night has come, and it is time to start layering your beauty products on your face. But what’s the correct order? Let us enlighten you:

1. Makeup Remover

Whether you choose micellar water or wipes, makeup remover is a must! Just always remember to do it gently without tearing your skin too much.

2. Double Cleansing

Double cleansing means using an oil-based cleanser first to break down makeup, sunscreen, and dirt, followed by a water-based cleanser to remove any lingering impurities. This ensures your skin is truly clean, which is key to preventing premature aging.

3. Exfoliating (Not Always)

You can choose physical exfoliants, like sugar scrubs, or chemical exfoliants with active ingredients like lactic acid or glycolic acid. Important: only perform this step once or twice a week, as over-exfoliating can cause irritation and dry out your skin.

4. Toner

You can use the same toner as your morning routine! Just soak a cotton pad in it and tap it gently on your skin.

5. Retinol

Retinol should only be used at night because it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. It helps to increase collagen production and cell turnover, promoting the growth of new, healthy cells.

6. Serum

Serums loaded with active ingredients like hyaluronic acid or niacinamide penetrate deep into the skin, making them effective at night when your skin is more receptive to repair and regeneration.

7. Face Masks

Apply rinse-off masks before serums and leave-on masks at the end of your routine. Choose masks with hyaluronic acid or retinoids.

8. Spot Treatments and Eye Creams

Use eye cream to smooth signs of crow’s feet and hydrate the area, and spot treatments to heal acne and other concerns.

9. Moisturizer

Opt for a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or any other antioxidant to make your skin feel soft, young, and healthy.

ᴠᴏʟᴜᴍᴇ : ▮▮▮▮▮▮��▯▯

i wanted to share my skincare routine with y'all. i'm open to comments, suggestions, and questions. ♡

A.M routine

❀ step 1: cleanser

DHC's hatomugi face wash. i think it's really gentle on the skin and perfect for sensitive skin.

❀ step 2: lotion

DHC's hatomugi lotion. it makes my skin feel hydrated in the morning.

❀ step 3: milk

DHC's hatomugi milk. it's a nice silky cream and lightweight.

❀ step 4: sunscreen

DHC's brightening sunscreen for my face. it's (very) matte and a little difficult to spread at first. now i put it on my face by sections, which seems to help with the spreading. (does leave a white cast tho)

neutrogena's dry touch sunscreen for my neck. it's easier to use that than the DHC one. easily absorbed.

supergoop!'s sunscreen lip balm. it still moisturizes my lips despite the sunscreen.

P.M routine

❀ step 1: cleansing oil

DHC's deep cleansing oil. feel like i really get all of my day's worth of impurities out. also great for removing makeup.

❀ step 2: cleanser

peach & lily's power calm gel cleanser. it's refreshing and cooling. i think it's good to use right after oil cleansing.

❀ step 3: toner

p&l's good acids pore toner. it's also refreshing. gentle exfoliant.

❀ step 4: spot treatment

clean & clear's acne spot treatment gel. it dries out my blemishes, making them quicker to go away.

the crème shop's hydrocolloid acne patches on white heads as it easily takes them out. i use them right after i apply toner. i don't use them on the same spot at the same time.

❀ step 5: serum

p&l's glass skin refining serum. i feel like this is the key to glass skin. really makes my skin glowy.

❀ step 5: vitamin c*

RoC's vitamin c serum. have noticed that it has made my skin brighter and glowy. it's slightly sticky but once dry, it's fine.

when i use this, i'm replacing the serum.

❀ step 5: masks

variety of the crème shop's products. i use their essence sheet masks, how do eye look? patches, other hydrogel eye patches, hydrogel lip patch, hydrogel forehead patch.

i don't use these all at once. i'd do the eye, lip, and forehead patch together or skip one and use the other two. i use these on a sunday (my reset day), but not every week (budgeting).

when i use these, i'm replacing the serum.

❀ step 6: cream

p&l's matcha pudding antioxidant cream. it's easy to spread. i think it reduces redness, but i think it's my brain tricking me since it's green lol.

❀ step 6: retinol*

RoC's retinol correxion night cream. it has a different smell that i'm used to. it's very easy to put on my skin. a little goes a long way!

when i use this, i'm replacing the matcha pudding.

❀ step 6: facial oil

PROVENCE beauty's alpha-bet facial oil. it hydrates my skin very well. it's a nice final step.

*i alternate between the two. (don't use them at the same time!) i use them thursday-sunday, which are the days i don't have morning classes. (i often do my P.M routine late at night)

note

i want to start using p&l's lactic acid repair serum. i received a sample when it first launched and instantly fell in love! i remember that it reduced the look of my pores immensely. however, i am on a budget so i had to make a sacrifice </3

when i'm home during the school year, i use p&l's glass skin kit (both A.M/P.M) + DHC's oil cleanser (P.M). and i use absolute care lux's 24 karat gold serum and cream at night. the serum leaves this shimmery look and it's quite cute.

i used to use DHC's collagen mist but it's now discontinued :( gave a slight dewy look. it was lightweight. also great as a setting spray. ultra hydration

RADIANCE SKINCARE

Radiance Skincare: Pamper and make it glow……

No matter what kind of injury or pollution your face may encounter, a good skincare regimen will guarantee that it seems clear and youthful. It consistently clears your pores of extra oil and debris, lessens sunspots, keeps acne at bay, and leaves your skin looking radiant and full.

                        When it comes to keeping your face and body's skin healthy, skincare is a crucial practice. You can preserve your youthful, healthy look with a consistent skincare regimen. Proteins of many kinds should be a part of your daily skincare regimen, from cleansing your face to using moisturizer. Keeping your skin glowing will be possible if you comprehend these.

2.Slows down aging

3.Better skin conditions

4.Feel more confident

5.Glowy Skin

Cleanser is the first step

Toner is the 2nd step

Treatments for Acne or Serums 

Moisturizer or night cream is step 4th

Step 5th is Eye treatment

You can apply a facial moisturizer right away after cleansing, or if you'd like, you can apply an antioxidant serum first. According to Campbell, they produce free radicals, or reactive oxygen species, which damage the skin's collagen and elastin and alter DNA, resulting in drooping, dull, and pigmented skin. She suggests an oily skin type antioxidant serum that is light or oil-free if you're prone to acne in ferulic acid. Hyaluronic acid works well for most skin types and is a fantastic option to put under a moisturizer if you want to offer an extra burst of hydration. It blends in nicely with other items as well.

"Skin care is not as complicated as the beauty industry would have you believe. In order to encourage customers to purchase more goods, the industry must actually continue to create demand."

1.Alpha Hydroxy Acid and Retinoids, often known as Retinol

Busting Common Skincare Myths: What Truly Works and What Doesn't

In the pursuit of radiant and flawless skin, it's easy to get lost in a maze of skincare myths and misconceptions. From homemade remedies to supposed miracle products, the beauty industry can sometimes leave us bewildered. Let's dive into some prevalent skincare myths, setting the record straight on what's effective and what's not.

Myth: The More, the Merrier

Reality: Layering multiple products may seem enticing, but quality trumps quantity. Overloading your skin can lead to irritation and clogged pores. A personalized routine catering to your skin type - including a cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and targeted treatment if necessary - is the way to go.

Myth: Natural Means Safe

Reality: Just because something is labeled "natural" doesn't guarantee it's safe for all skin types. Allergies and reactions can still occur. It's crucial to read labels, patch-test, and consult a dermatologist before incorporating new products.

Myth: Pores Open and Close

Reality: You might have heard that steam opens pores while cold water closes them. In truth, pores lack muscles, so they can't change shape. Steam can temporarily soften debris, but a solid cleansing routine and exfoliation work better for maintaining clear pores.

Myth: Oily Skin Rejects Moisturizers

Reality: Hydration benefits all skin types, including oily ones. Skipping moisturizer can lead to increased oil production. Opt for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to maintain balance without causing breakouts.

Myth: Sunscreen Is for Sunny Days Only

Reality: Sunscreen is a must, no matter the weather. Harmful UV rays are present even on cloudy days and can penetrate windows. Consistent broad-spectrum sunscreen application safeguards your skin from premature aging and damage.

Best sunscreens EVER:

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk Body & Face Sunscreen

LIVE TINTED Hueguard Invisible Sunscreen Stick SPF 50

Neutrogena Invisible Daily Defense Face Sunscreen + Hydrating Serum with Broad Spectrum SPF 60+

Myth: Exfoliating Daily for Perfection

Reality: Exfoliation aids in cell turnover, but excess can cause irritation. 2-3 times a week with a gentle exfoliant is sufficient for a smoother complexion without harming your skin's barrier.

Amazing Facial Exfoliants:

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant - Exfoliator Facial Scrub Powder

TULA Skin Care So Poreless Exfoliating Blackhead Scrub

M-61 PowerGlow® Peel- 30 Treatments

Myth: Moisturizers and Oils Aggravate Acne

Reality: Acne-prone skin thrives with hydration. Seek non-comedogenic, oil-free options. Some oils, like jojoba or rosehip, can even regulate sebum and enhance skin appearance.

Moisturizers I personally love:

Paula’s Choice C5 Super Boost Moisturizer with 5% Vitamin C

e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration!

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream | Body and Face

TATCHA The Dewy Skin Cream

In conclusion, navigating through the world of skincare requires discerning fact from fiction. An informed approach, coupled with a streamlined routine, is the key to glowing skin. When in doubt, a dermatologist's guidance can be invaluable on your skincare journey. Remember, debunking skincare myths is an essential stride towards achieving your skin's best version.

[theambitiouswoman]

do you have any tips on hormonal pimples? or like teen pimples (idk what they r called) because i have so much of them but none of these toners and serums are helping.

Make sure to wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser. Avoid scrubbing your skin too hard, this can make acne worse.

Look for products that are labeled as "non-comedogenic," which means they won't clog your pores. This is especially important for makeup and moisturizers.

Products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may be helpful in treating acne. Start with a lower strength and gradually increase if needed.

Prescription strength retinoids can be very effective in treating acne, but they can be irritating to the skin. Talk to your doctor and start with a lower strength and use as directed.

Here are some product recommendations:

Cleansers:

CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash

Moisturizers:

Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 30

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Mattifying Moisturizer

Salicylic Acid Products:

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution

Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment

Benzoyl Peroxide Products:

Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Gel

Acne.org 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment

Non-Comedogenic Sunscreen:

Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid Lotion Sunscreen SPF 30

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46

Spot Treatments:

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

Kate Somerville EradiKate Acne Treatment

The food you eat is super important for how your body's hormones work. Hormones are messengers that your body makes to control your growth, metabolism etc. They travel through your blood and tell different parts of your body what to do. Eating a good mix of healthy foods helps keep these hormones in check. Things like protein, good fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals help make and control hormones. For example protein is needed for hormones like insulin and growth hormone, while healthy fats help with hormones like estrogen and testosterone.

Also, when you're stressed a lot, your body makes more of a hormone called cortisol, which can mess up other hormones. Moving your body through exercise can help with hormones by reducing stress and making you feel happy. Also, sleep is really important. Not getting enough sleep can mess up hormones that control hunger and fullness.

So, eating healthy foods, managing stress, staying active, and getting enough sleep are all really important. They help keep your hormones in balance and make sure your body works well.

Most importantly, don't let acne affect your self-esteem. You are beautiful just the way you are! Pimples are very normal and they do not take away from how amazing you are <3

Unlock the Secrets to Glass Skin: A Simple Korean Skincare Routine Revealed!

In recent years, the Korean skincare routine has gained immense popularity worldwide, and for a good reason. Known for its effectiveness in achieving a flawless and radiant complexion, the Korean skincare routine is a step-by-step process that focuses on nourishing and hydrating the skin. One of the most sought-after results of this routine is the coveted "glass skin" look, characterized by a clear, luminous, and dewy complexion. This blog post will delve into the simple Korean skincare routine that can help you achieve glass skin and some recommended products to get you started.

Double Cleansing

Double cleansing is the first and most crucial step in any Korean skincare routine. This step involves using an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum, followed by a water-based cleanser to cleanse the skin thoroughly. Recommended products for this step include the Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm and the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser.

Exfoliation

Exfoliating your skin is essential to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, resulting in a smoother and brighter complexion. Opt for a gentle exfoliator like the Neogen Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling Pads or the Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off, which helps to unclog pores and reveal a fresh layer of skin.

Toner

Toning is a crucial step in the Korean skincare routine as it helps to balance the skin's pH level and prepare it for better absorption of subsequent products. Look for hydrating toners like the Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner or the Son & Park Beauty Water, which boosts moisture and nourishes the skin.

Essence

Essences are lightweight, highly concentrated formulas that deliver hydration and nutrients deep into the skin. They are a vital component in achieving glass skin. Consider using the Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence or the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, both of which are known for their skin-rejuvenating properties.

Serum

Serums are potent formulations that target specific skin concerns, such as brightening, anti-aging, or acne. For glass skin, focus on serums that provide intense hydration and radiance. The Laneige Water Bank Hydro Essence or the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Serum are excellent choices to incorporate into your routine.

Moisturizer

Hydration is critical to achieving glass skin, so investing in a good moisturizer is essential. Look for lightweight, non-greasy options like the Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb or the Etude House Moistfull Collagen Cream, which provide long-lasting hydration without clogging pores.

Sunscreen

Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial for maintaining a youthful and healthy complexion. Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, such as the Missha All Around Safe Block Essence Sun Milk or the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence.

In Conclusion

By following this simple Korean skincare routine, you can be well on your way to achieving the coveted glass-skin look. Consistency is vital, so stick to your routine and be patient, as results may take time. Experiment with different products to find what works best for your skin type and concerns. Embrace the Korean skincare philosophy of nourishing and hydrating your skin, and you'll soon be flaunting a radiant and flawless complexion that will turn heads wherever you go.

Cow Milk Benefits for Skin: More Than Just a Drink

Cow milk isn’t just a nutritious drink; it’s also a natural skincare powerhouse! Loaded with essential vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats, cow milk can help rejuvenate, hydrate, and protect your skin, giving you a glowing, youthful complexion. Discover how cow milk can become a staple in your skincare routine:

1. Exfoliates and Brightens the Skin Cow milk is rich in lactic acid, a natural exfoliant that gently removes dead skin cells, revealing a fresh, smooth complexion. This gentle exfoliation helps unclog pores and keep your skin healthy and radiant.

2. Hydrates and Moisturizes Thanks to its healthy fats, cow milk provides deep hydration, especially for dry or flaky skin. Regular use helps retain moisture, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and well-nourished.

3. Reduces Inflammation The anti-inflammatory properties of cow milk make it effective for calming redness, irritation, or inflammation. It’s an excellent remedy for sunburn, rosacea, and acne-prone skin.

4. Fights Aging and Wrinkles Cow milk is a source of casein, which helps boost collagen production. As collagen naturally decreases with age, milk can help firm the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

5. Protects Against Sun Damage Vitamin D and retinol in cow milk aid in repairing sun damage and encourage skin cell turnover, reducing the visibility of sun spots and pigmentation. This makes your skin more resilient to sun exposure.

6. Helps with Acne Raw cow milk has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can soothe acne-prone skin. The lactic acid in milk also cleanses pores, reducing the likelihood of breakouts.

How to Use Cow Milk in Skincare

Milk Baths: A milk bath is perfect for soothing and hydrating the skin, especially after sun exposure.

Facial Cleanser: Splash chilled milk on your face for a refreshing, hydrating cleanse.

Facial Mask: Yogurt, a fermented milk product, can serve as a gentle exfoliant and nourishing face mask.

Dark Spot Treatment: Apply raw milk on dark spots with a cotton swab to help lighten and diminish their appearance.

Caution While cow milk offers many skincare benefits, it may not be suitable for everyone. Test on a small area first, especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, as it can clog pores if not used carefully.

Conclusion With its moisturizing, exfoliating, and anti-inflammatory properties, cow milk is a timeless skincare ally. Try using it as a cleanser, mask, or soothing bath, and enjoy the natural glow it brings to your skin.

Essential Beauty Tools for Your At-Home Facial Routine

A glowing, healthy complexion doesn’t have to require expensive salon visits. With the right tools, you can create a professional-level facial at home that leaves your skin looking radiant and rejuvenated. By incorporating high-quality beauty tools into your skincare routine, you can effectively cleanse, exfoliate, and treat your skin, bringing the spa experience to your bathroom. Whether you're looking to clear out impurities, boost circulation, or enhance the absorption of your favorite products, using the right tools can make all the difference.

Recent studies have shown that using beauty tools as part of your skincare regimen can significantly enhance the results of topical products and treatments. According to research published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, facial massage tools, like jade rollers and gua sha stones, have been proven to improve blood flow, reduce puffiness, and promote lymphatic drainage. Additionally, microdermabrasion devices have been clinically tested to show improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and clarity by effectively exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells. These findings suggest that incorporating beauty tools into your routine not only elevates the experience but also maximizes the benefits of your skincare products.

Further evidence from skincare experts supports the use of at-home beauty tools for achieving a radiant complexion. For instance, a study highlighted in Dermatologic Therapy found that ultrasonic facial devices improved the absorption of serums and moisturizers by up to 30%, making these treatments more effective. Similarly, LED light therapy masks have gained attention for their ability to reduce acne, boost collagen production, and soothe inflammation. With proper and consistent use, these tools can lead to noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall radiance, making them a worthwhile investment for your at-home beauty regimen.

Top Beauty Tools for Your At-Home Facial Routine

Now that we understand the benefits of using beauty tools, let's dive into the essential items you can incorporate into your routine for a spa-like facial at home. You can find a curated selection of these tools and more at True Derma, a trusted source for high-quality skincare products.

1. Facial Cleansing Brush

A facial cleansing brush is a game-changer for achieving deep-clean skin. Unlike manual cleansing, these brushes use gentle vibrations or rotating bristles to thoroughly cleanse pores, remove makeup, and eliminate impurities. This ensures that your skin is perfectly prepped for the rest of your skincare routine.

How to Use: Apply a gentle cleanser to your face, then use the brush in circular motions for about a minute. This will help improve circulation and give your skin a healthy glow.

2. Jade Roller and Gua Sha Tool

Jade rollers and gua sha stones are traditional beauty tools that have been used for centuries to promote lymphatic drainage and reduce puffiness. Regular use can help smooth fine lines, improve elasticity, and give your skin a natural lift. These tools also work wonders for relaxing facial muscles and relieving tension.

How to Use: After applying a serum or facial oil, gently glide the jade roller or gua sha stone over your face, focusing on areas prone to puffiness like under the eyes and jawline.

3. Microdermabrasion Device

For those looking to enhance their exfoliation game, a microdermabrasion device is perfect for removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. This tool can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, and acne scars, leaving your skin smoother and brighter.

How to Use: Use once a week on clean, dry skin. Gently glide the device over your face, avoiding sensitive areas. Follow up with a hydrating serum to soothe the skin.

4. Ultrasonic Skin Spatula

Ultrasonic skin spatulas use high-frequency vibrations to deep clean pores, remove blackheads, and help serums penetrate deeper into the skin. This tool is ideal for those with congested or oily skin, as it helps to dislodge impurities and excess oil.

How to Use: Apply a toner or facial mist to dampen the skin, then glide the spatula at a 45-degree angle to remove buildup. Switch to the opposite side of the spatula to enhance serum absorption.

5. LED Light Therapy Mask

LED light therapy masks use different wavelengths of light to treat various skin concerns. Blue light helps reduce acne-causing bacteria, red light stimulates collagen production to reduce fine lines, and yellow light soothes inflammation and boosts skin's natural glow.

How to Use: After cleansing and applying your skincare products, wear the mask for 10-20 minutes a few times a week to see long-term improvements in skin texture and clarity.

6. Facial Steamer

A facial steamer is a fantastic way to open up your pores and soften skin, making it easier to extract blackheads and enhance the absorption of serums and masks. The steam also boosts circulation, giving your skin a radiant, dewy look.

How to Use: Fill the steamer with distilled water, turn it on, and let the steam envelop your face for about 5-10 minutes. Follow up with a hydrating mask or moisturizer to lock in moisture.

Conclusion

Achieving a glowing, youthful complexion doesn’t require expensive spa visits. With the right tools, you can elevate your at-home facial routine and enjoy professional-level results. By investing in quality beauty tools like those available at True Derma, you can transform your skincare regimen and unlock the secret to healthier, more radiant skin.
