What's your skincare routine currently?

I actually spent the other week taking stock of how my current routine was working and deciding if I needed to change anything, so I have a lot to say on this

AM:

Wash face with water

(extra step for wintertime) Avène thermal water

Serum with antioxidants and niacinamide: just switched from facetheory Colloidal-C Anti-Redness Toner, which I got in hope of reducing redness (did nothing for me) back to facetheory’s Cera-C Pore Reducing Toner, which actually makes my skin look great. It has 5% niacinamide and a vitamin C derivative, which is what I want – I just would like extra perks (anti-redness). An alternative I’m considering is the Isntree Onion Newpair Gel cream.

(extra step if my skin is feeling very dry i.e. what I use during winter) hydrating serum: I’ve just finished Avène Hydrance Serum which I found very hydrating though too light weight (i.e. not good for winter for me) and honestly it lasted so little that I won’t buy it again. My go to instead is snail mucin: Mizon’s Snail Repair Ampoule (best formula but not so much product, what I’m currently using); or COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Essence (best bang for your buck, though my pump was really bad)

Alpha-arbutin: most recent addition to my skincare & it seems to be making a difference when it comes to discoloration (PIE). I’m using Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum, mostly because this was the only product I could find here in Norway.

Caffeine for my undereye: I’m using The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream – while I can say it’s infinitely better than what The Ordinary offers (because why would you use a dropped for something that goes around the eyes!!), I can’t tell if I’m seeing results or not, despite using it for almost three months. Maybe?

Moisturizer: Eucerin 5% Urea Repair, my holy grail of all time. I buy this by the litre. Since I entered my mid-20s, my skin has turned dry. Combined with drier winters and the heating I have to put on to survive winter, this is the only thing that makes my skin stay intact.

Sunscreen: probably controversial, but I actually don’t wear sunscreen everyday, as the amount of light I get is ridiculous (though I do in the summer or if there is snow). Over the past year, I tried several ones and my top two choices are Beauty of Joseon Sun Relief (cannot fault a single thing and I found it to be good value for money based on how long it lasted me) and Isntree Onion Newpair Sunscreen (jury is out on whether the onion extract actually helps me, but I found the texture to be perfect for me and it actually ensures I apply a proper amount since it’s not too runny)

Dr.Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment: amazing!! This has been so far the only thing that helped with redness. I haven’t worn foundation in a year and it’s only because of this. I don’t even think it’s that expensive because I spent 30£ for a 50 ml jar which lasts me six months of daily use. Love it.

PM:

My routine is the following:

Double cleanse: I’ve been liking a lot the Beauty of Jonseon Cleansing Balm – so far the best cleansing product I’ve tried. Micellar water is a no for me, as I don’t like using cotton pads. Oils are mostly ok as an alternative, with iUnik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil being my failsafe (but it doesn’t remove 100% of my mascara).   Next, I use a foaming cleansing gel. My go-to used to be Neutrogena Clear & Defend, but it keeps being sold out, so I’m now using  CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser. It works fine. My main criteria here is price tbh.

facetheory Exaglow serum: the daily base, with tranexamic acid, liquorice root, and a vitamin c derivative, this in combination with whatever active follows has helped me reduce my hyperpigmentation so so much

An active (see below)

Moisturizer: Eucerin Urea repair, again.

Actives is when things get more complicated, because I rotate weekly between (combinations of) them

Differin (adapalene): game changer, I tolerate it very well and I recently increased it to three times per week  + Azelaic acid: I love it and over the years I tried so many different products (available in Europe). I find that for me 10% works just as well as 20%. Usually, a higher price tag gets you better texture (i.e. less grainy) but not better results. Isispharma Metroruboril was very smooth, but a more basic one works just fine for me – hence why I keep going back to The Ordinary’s 10% one. It’s not an area where I feel like I should be spending a lot.

Kojic acid: I’m using Dermaceutic’s Radiance, which works fine in combination with my overall routine. + Retinol: bit of a controversial combination, but because I’ve been using retinols for so long, this works fine. I’m using A313, which is v gentle. I bought it in Paris and it has a too thick texture in my opinion, so once I finished the tube I’ll go back to my fave L’Oreal Revitalift (amazing fragrance, great texture, very hydrating too)

An exfoliant: while some of my products have small percentages of lactic acid in it, so I never felt the need to have a dedicated exfoliating step up. However, I thought I could benefit from it and started using  facetheory’s Glycolacsal which has glycolic acid (8.5%), salicylic acid (1%) and lactic acid (0.5%).  I use it twice a week and it’s really good.

In addition to all of this, twice a week I do a face mask with benoxyl peroxide in the shower which helps tons to keep acne at bay BUT is infinitely better than using the cream, which has bleached all of my towels. The cream used to be a must in my routine but now that overall my acne is under control, I don’t need to use it as often.

This ended up being extremely long, but I love skincare and I feel like I learnt so much about my own skin and how to work with it and what products work in the past few years. I’m testing new things but in a calculated manner. And I don’t know. Skincare is nothing static and the whole process of figuring things out can be fun (and necessary).

[negroglo]

How you skin so clear bro? I'm tryna be a pretty lil bih like you 😭😭

“Pretty lil bih” is crazyyy😭

But anyway

Morning:

1. CeraVe cream to foam cleanser or CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser

You just need something simple and gentle. If you’re having a break out, use something with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide (leave on for 3-5 minutes to allow the active ingredients to work)

2. Naturium Tranexamic Acid Brightening Treatment

Mostly for antioxidant support throughout the day. Antioxidants prevent free radical damage that can result in collagen breakdown. It contains tranexamic acid, alpha arbutin, and kojic acid -in addition to being antioxidants they are also tyrosinase inhibitors that prevent the formation of dark spots.

3. Sunscreen

Most important step! SPF 30 or higher

Just find something that works for you and apply it EVERY morning (~1/4 tsp or two finger lengths for the face and neck)

Night:

1. CeraVe cream to foam cleanser

2. Naturium Tranexamic Acid Brightening Treatment

3. Tretinoin (prescription) HOLY GRAIL

Topical retinoids are the gold standard for fighting acne, sun damage, and aging. It works on the cellular level to increase cell turn over, collagen synthesis, blood vessel formation. You must be consistent and it take 8-12 weeks before results are visible. 👨🏾‍🔬

Adapalene and other retinols are available otc. and can be more beginner friendly.

4. CeraVe Baby Lotion ( has similar ingredients to the their night cream but it has way more product for a better price lol)

Miscellaneous:

Paula’s Choice BHA or CeraVe Acne Control gels

These are exfoliants I use once or twice a week if my skin is dull or textured

A dermatologist is probably the best person to ask for skincare advice, so if you have access I highly recommend booking a consultation. They’re also teledermatology services that can things a bit more accessible.

Good luck bro 🧍🏾‍♂️🤎

Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin, The Ordinary offers targeted solutions for every need. Knowing your skin type ensures you choose products that address your unique concerns.

The Ordinary's Squalane Cleanser and Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA are excellent starting points, providing a clean canvas for the rest of your routine.

3. Incorporate Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic Acid is a game-changer for hydration. The Ordinary's Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is a lightweight serum that boosts moisture retention, leaving your skin plump and supple. Apply it before your moisturizer to maximize its hydrating benefits.

4. Target Specific Concerns: Whether you're dealing with acne, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines, The Ordinary has a solution. For acne-prone skin, try the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. To address hyperpigmentation, the Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA is your ally. For anti-aging, the Retinol 0.2% in Squalane can work wonders when used cautiously.

5. Layering Matters: To get the most out of your products, layer them correctly. Generally, start with the thinnest consistency and work your way up. For example, apply water-based serums before creams or oils. This ensures each product is absorbed effectively, maximizing their benefits.

6. Don't Forget Sunscreen: Sunscreen is non-negotiable in any skincare routine. The Ordinary offers various sun protection options, such as the Mineral UV Filters SPF 30 with Antioxidants. Regular use protects your skin from harmful UV rays and prevents premature aging.

7. Be Consistent: Skincare is a marathon, not a sprint. Consistency is key to seeing results. Stick to your routine and give products time to work. Results may not be immediate, but with patience, you'll notice improvements in your skin's texture and appearance.

8. Customization is Key: The Ordinary empowers you to create a personalized routine. Mix and match products to address your specific needs. However, introduce new products gradually to avoid overwhelming your skin.

In conclusion, The Ordinary offers a treasure trove of skincare options for girls seeking an affordable yet effective routine. Remember, it's not about the quantity of products but the quality and how well they cater to your skin's needs. Embrace these tips, stay consistent, and let The Ordinary elevate your skincare journey. Your radiant skin awaits!

Any vitamin c serums you might recommend? I read that it’s good for dark spots.

Vitamin C can also make your SPF work better. I love the Tula one. I’ve used Drunk Elephant and it’s amazing but not an amazing price tag. The Ordinary has one but I prefer it at night because it’s a bit oily

Pink Privates Review – UPDATED 2023 – With Before & After Pictures

Glowy, bright and even skin tone is a dream that only a few are lucky to live through. Rest are those millions of women who throng the internet everyday to look for solutions that can even out their skin tone and make it lighter, brighter and what not. These searches become even more urgent and desperate when it comes to the intimate area. The urge to lighten dark and discolored private parts is a trend that’s here to stay. Apart from cosmetic procedures, there are plenty of creams and bleaches available in the market that claim to “whiten” your skin color. Some work and some don’t. The intimate skin lightening cream in the spotlight today falls in the former category and has proven to show visible results. Let’s get into the review and see what the fuss is all about. Pink Privates Review – UPDATED 2020 Pink Privates is a skin whitening cream specially designed to lighten the skin color on your private areas. This miraculous cream is hailed as one of the best bleaching cream out there by users who have actually used and benefited from it. Using Pink Privates, you can lighten any of the following sensitive areas- - Penis - Vagina - Anal area - Nipples - Scrotum - Underarms One major concern with skin whitening creams are the potential side-effects they might cause to the skin in the long-term. Pink Privates carefully addresses this concern and uses only skin-safe and natural whitening ingredients that do not harm the skin during the bleaching process. The effectiveness of this cream revolves around targeting the discolored areas and lightening them to blend in with the natural color of the entire body. Pink Privates Bleaching Cream – How It Works? Most whitening products contain harsh ingredients like hydroquinone, mercury and steroids which causes rashes and sometimes even burning sensation. Pink Privates cream steers clear from all three of these ingredients and works in the most natural way. The Pink Privates formula is skin-safe, paraben-free and uses only natural skin whitening and brightening ingredients which we will list down in the next section. Pink Privates Bleaching Cream – Ingredients Pink Privates is relatively safer to use than some of its competitors due to the use of all-natural, skin-safe ingredients. If skin safety is your concern and you are looking at all-natural ingredients, Pink Privates takes away the cake by including natural alternatives to harsh chemicals. Let’s take a look at the natural ingredients that Pink Privates uses in its formula. Alpha Arbutin - Derived from the leaves of bearberry bush, Alpha Arbutin is the main ingredient in Pink Privates cream. It is scientifically proven to contain melanin-inhibiting properties. Melanin is what causes the dark color in the skin. Many whitening products have switched the presence of Hydroquinone to Alpha Arbutin, making their products safer for the skin. Apricot Kernel Oil - Featuring anti-inflammatory properties, Apricot kernel oil is widely used for several beauty purposes. In the Pink Privates formulation, this oil works as a lubricant to nourish and moisturize your private area. Jojoba Seed Oil: This oil needs no introduction to a beauty enthusiast. The Jojoba plant is an indigenous American shrub that’s quite popular in the skincare world. The oil is carefully extracted from the nut of the jojoba oil and is widely used by native Americans. It serves as a natural moisturizer and seeps into the skin to make it healthy and plump. Squalane: Squalene is produced by our bodies naturally and it is also found in sugar canes and plants. It  is used to allow the cream to penetrate deep inside and work at the innermost layers of the skin. Hyaluronic Acid: An anti-aging warrior, hyaluronic acid is naturally produced in our bodies in a decent amount. Its anti-aging properties help keep up the collagen levels in our body and maintain our skin’s elasticity. It prevents water loss, inflammation and helps in keeping the skin lighter and youthful. Polyacrylamide: Polyacrylamide is yet another popular skin care ingredient used in a wide range of cosmetic products.The main purpose of this being added is to bind the ingredients together. Laureth-7: Laureth-7 is obtained and extracted from lauric acid. This mainly acts as an emulsifier and surfactant in beauty products. C13-14 Isoparaffin: Extracted from petroleum, this particular ingredient acts as a thickening agent to thicken the consistency of the cream. Phenoxyethanol: Pink Privates steers clear of parabens and uses phenoxyethanol as an alternative to parabens which is much safer. It is primarily used as a preservative to beauty products. Ethylhexylglycerin: Another alternative to parabens, Ethylhexylglycerin is added to incinerate the growth of bacteria. It also helps to enhance the execution of other preservatives and stabilizers in the product. Purified Water: Nothing but good old purified natural water. Knowing the ingredients not only gives you reeling confidence in the product but also gives you peace of mind. All the handpicked ingredients are added to make Pink Privates more gentle on your skin and to suit the nature of your intimate areas. By now, you can be fully assured that the Pink Privates formula stays away from harmful ingredients that could cause nasty and dreadful side effects such as severe irritation to the skin, redness and certain allergic reactions caused due to parabens and mercury. Pink Privates Bleaching Cream – How to Apply? With any topical cream, proper application is equally important to get effective results that you hope for. Here’s how to get started with this whitening cream- - Shave or wax your intimate area 2 to 3 days before the application. This ensures the cream penetrates deeply into the skin without unwanted hair blocking its way. - Before application, take a mild scrub and exfoliate the area gently to take away dead skin cells resting on the surface. - Wash off the scrub and dry the area with a gentle towel. Make sure there is no sign of moisture present on the surface. - Apply a smooth layer and start rubbing the product in thoroughly. - Make sure the cream covers the entire area that you wish to lighten. - Wait for approximately 5 minutes and allow the product to work its magic. - Once the cream is completely dried, wash it off with warm water. - Repeat this process twice every day for upto 8 weeks to see best results. Pink Privates Before & After Pictures Pink Privates – Price & Where To Buy Aligning to the level of the result it shows, Pink Privates is effectively priced at $35 in Australia. You can easily find it at major retailer giants like Ebay and Amazon. It can be also sourced from your nearby cosmetic shop. However, there is always a limited quantity of stock at offline stores and they usually sell out quickly. Read the full article

How to make whitening cream for business?

Even though being outside in the sun feels good, it can be very bad for your face. Even though skin cancer is a big health concern, the sun can also make your skin darker or give you dark spots. Best of all, you probably already have everything you need to make one in your home. If your skin is oily, try making a simple skin whitening cream with lemons. If your skin is dry, try nuts.

You can't stress enough how important it is to take care of your face. It's the biggest organ in the body and the first line of defense against sickness and infection. So, if you see spots, dark spots, or other problems with the color of your skin, you should do what you can to stop further damage. The good news is that you can fix many color issues on your own. This piece will talk about eight things you can do at home to lighten your skin and get rid of any dark spots or spots that don't look good.

Whiten the Skin with Citrus Extracts

Lemon juice and orange peels can be used to naturally lighten the face. They have a lot of vitamin C, which is important for making the collagen fibers for face whitening creams that keep your skin tight and help it stay strong. When put on the skin, vitamin C has been shown to slow down melanocytes that are working too fast. These are the cells in the lower layers of the skin that make melanin, which makes the skin "tan" or get darker.

Kojic Acid

kojic acid is a white, crystalline powder that comes from a fungus in Asia. It has been used in Japan for a long time as a natural alternative to hydroquinone and is very good at lightening dark spots on the face. The American Academy of Dermatologists says that clinical tests have shown that kojic acid can lessen hyperpigmentation. It works by stopping tyrosinase, the protein that makes melanin, from doing its job. It also works as an antioxidant and is good for skin that has been hurt by the sun or is sensitive.

Licorice Extract

In Chinese medicine, the juice made from the roots of the licorice plant has been used for a long time to treat all kinds of skin problems. In the early 1990s, Japanese scientists found the compound glabridin in licorice. This compound blocks UVA and UVB rays and makes the skin whiter and brighter.

A clinical study that was released in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry showed that glabridin could block the enzyme tyrosinase, which makes melanin, by up to 50% without hurting skin cells. Licorice extract is good for treating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which includes dark spots. It can use to reverse the damage that cause by acne scars, and it has anti-inflammatory qualities that help soothe the skin and reduce redness.

Extract of Bearberry

This part of the plant comes from the leaves instead of the fruit. Bearberry, also called bear grape, is an astringent that uses in many beauty products. It includes Alpha arbutin, which is known to lighten the skin quickly.

It shows that arbutin can reduce freckles, dark spots, and other skin problems. A study done by the drug company Pentapharm found that 1% Alpha arbutin had a "skin-lightening effect" that was even better than the same dose of hydroquinone.

Bearberry extract is also helpful because it includes filters that protect against the sun. These filters may help reduce the amount of "tanning" after being in the sun, which can slow or even reverse signs of aging on the skin.

The Gooseberry (Phyllanthus Emblica).

The extract from this plant is full of Vitamin C and has antimicrobial and antioxidant qualities. Emblica extract keeps the skin from getting damaged by the sun and helps remove discoloration.

Researchers have found that Emblica protects the skin from oxidative stress, reduces wrinkles, controls the production of melanin, and helps the skin keep its natural wetness.

The Gigawhite

Gigawhite is a brightener for the face that has a patent and works well to treat dark spots and melasma. It comes from seven Swiss mountain plants that grow in an organic way. These plants include peppermint, common mallow, and primula (cowslip).

Extract the White Mulberry

The white mulberry tree (Morus alba) is from China and has been found to be good for your health in many ways. It can also help whiten the face and protect against heart disease, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)

Niacinamide, another name for vitamin B3, stops the production of melanin, a pigment. When added to face creams, it also works well to lighten the skin. When put on the skin, vitamin B helps it keep water. Water makes it feel softer and smoother and reduces fine lines.

Most things you can buy online will have a full list of the ingredients to take a quick look at it before you buy. The ingredients you choose will, of course, rely on what you want to happen.

Then after making, the most important thing is that how to pack your cream? so I suggested you to use customize boxes for cream which play an important role in protecting as well as promoting your product.

So, There are a lot of man-made chemicals in the face brightening creams that you can buy. Even though they are made with approved formulas. They still have many stabilizers and chemicals we don't want. So, in this post, we'll look at some ideas you can use to make your own skin-brightening cream at home.
