WLDKAT. Ginger + Kombucha Skin Tonic

Brand: WLDKAT.

Product Type: Toner

Price: $10-15 USD*

Size: 3.33 fl oz

✔️Vegan  ✔️Clean Ingredients  ✔️Cruelty Free  ✔️Sustainable Packaging

Star Ingredients:

Ginger Root Extract: Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant

Kombucha: Rich in probiotics and enzymes, supports skin barrier

Texture: Watery

Feel: Clean, refreshed, hydrated

Scent: 🌸

Results: I loved this product. The label says it's to 'bounce, glow, and tone' skin. It operates more like an essence though, where you apply it direct to the skin and massage it in. It foams up a little when applied to the skin, which gives it a pretty lush feel.

It's also super hydrating. You almost don't need anything else in your routine after applying this.

That being said, I'm not sure if I saw any results from using this product. I just liked it; it made me feel like it was doing something, probably because of the foaming action. I don't think it particularly helped my skin tone. I had a lot of cheek redness while using these products, like my rosacea was worse. It felt more like this was meant for skin brightening than toning.

That said, I liked that it didn't strip my skin, as toners often do.

Comps: If you're interested in trying out a toner or essence with kombucha in it, here are some options for you. Probably one of the most widely known brands, fresh Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence is going to be one of the most expensive at $82 for a 5 fl oz bottle. I've tried a little sample of this before and quite liked it. Unfortunately, for me and probably most of you, this is a little outside my normal price range. Closer to doable are K-beauty brands Juice to Cleanse Vinegar Kombucha Vegan Essence ($43/5.07 fl oz) and t'else Kombucha Hydro Glow Essence ($28/5.07 fl oz). Even more reasonably priced than that is good. clean. goop beauty The Illuminator 10% Glycolic Toner with kombucha and snow mushroom extract ($19.99/3.4 fl oz) and avatara Kombucha The Clean Sweep Balancing Oil-Control Toner with kombucha and glycolic acid ($13.99/4.05 fl oz).

For a more general brightening toner, there are lots of options out there. OLEHENRIKSEN Barrier Booster Orange Ferment Essence ($48/4.0 fl oz), Flora & Noor Vitamin C Resurfacing Toner ($28/5.0 fl oz), Beekman 1802 Pore Minimizing Facial Toner ($22/4.0 fl oz), Andalou Naturals Clementine + C Illuminating Toner ($14.99/6.0 fl oz), Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner ($14/4.0 fl oz), and Peach Slices Snail Rescue Blemish Busting Toner ($13.99/4.0 fl oz) are some great options without strong acids in them, which I think is harder to find than ones that do.

If you very specifically want a brightening essence, I can think of a quite a few from K-beauty brands. Son Reve Tri-Bio Treatment Essence ($43/5.07 fl oz), I'm From Mugwort Essence ($40/5.64 fl oz), NEOGEN Real Ferment Micro Essence ($38/5.07 fl oz), Benton Fermentation Essence ($27/3.38 fl oz), CosRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence ($25/3.38 fl oz), Chasin Rabbits Magic Beauty Shroom Tremella Mushroom Elixir ($25/6.76 fl oz), and Acwell Licorice pH Balancing Essence Mist ($24/3.38 fl oz) are all great options with clean ingredient lists, and quite a few of them also contain probiotics, similar to Wldkat. Ginger + Kombucha Skin Tonic.

*WLDKAT. Skincare has gone out of business. Any products remaining are being sold through closeout retailers at highly discounted prices, which can vary. Typically, you will find them listed between $10-15 USD. Unfortunately, I can't find the original prices, but as this was a very 'buzzy' skincare brand, products were priced on the higher side.

My Monthly Favorites - Winter 2018/Favorite 2018 Products

by Rosy Day Blog

Unfortunately I just had wayyyy too many products to test and review the last couple of months, so this post is a lot later than I had intended. As usual, I combined Winter 2018 favorites with my favorite products for 2018 (they are typically one and the same anyway). I noticed some of the products are the same as my most Fall 2018 favorites, but that just means I found my favorites for last year more recently.

Toner

Acwell Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner

I first used this a few years ago, but have since forgotten about it since I keep trying out new toners. I came back to this after seeing that Soko Glam now carries it. For me this is the best all-around toner. It is good at cleansing (if you like using toners to wipe off excess dirt/oil left behind) and it is mildly hydrating without being one of those thicker essence-like toners that can sometimes feel sticky and take forever to absorb. This toner also has 10% licorice water. Licorice is known for skin brightening and while I can't say that using this toner alone will brighten your skin, the soothing and redness-reducing properties of licorice will give your skin a more even and overall healthier and brighter look. When paired with the right products, it does help one achieve honey skin. Other interesting ingredients include rhubarb (soothing), green tea (antioxidants), and rose & peony (skin conditioning & brightening). » Buy Product

Facial Mist

Belif Aqua Bomb Mist

This facial mist acts as a hydrating intermission between my cleansing and toning steps. Especially after I take a shower, it takes me awhile to go from cleansing to toning, and in that time my skin starts to dry up (possibly making my skin a bit irritated as well). This provides a “better than just water” light-hydration and the light-weightness is perfect for quickly refreshing your skin. It also calms my skin (minor redness is instantly cured). I feel like it aids in healing my skin barrier as well. With the Belif, you get 2 travel sized bottles (for a total of ~4.04 oz for $34). A good deal if you ask me! Interesting ingredients include lady's mantle/oats/soybean ferment (healing & eczema), chickweed (anti-inflammatory),catnip/calendula (anti-bacterial), nettle leaf (acne), and saccharomyces ferments from potato & barley (product absorbtion & skin nutrition). » Buy Product

Essence

Eco Your Skin Layering Essence Ringer Drip in Anti-Wrinkle

This is perfect for the 7-skin method, though since it's $50 USD you probably don't want to use it all up too fast. It's actually good enough to just use for a 3-skin method. I prefer to just immediately transfer this from the packet into the included bottle rather than try and use this all up in one-go. This is hydrating yet still lightweight and it gives me instant glass skin. The effects are kinda comparable to a good sheet mask without all the waiting around or the heavyiness/stickiness. In the long run, this is cheaper than sheet masking everyday if you use this for at least 3 layers every night. This does smell a bit strong though. I don't doubt that this is a very concentrated formula - it smells concentrated. Thankfully the scent doesn't linger. Interesting ingredients include soy/adenosine (boosting collagen synthesis), black cohosh (anti-inflammatory), resveratol (anti-aging & firming), angelica herb (anti-bacterial), and red clover (repair broken skin). Ironically, I feel like this product has more "soothing" type of ingredients than actual anti-aging ones... » Buy Product

Calming & Nutritious First Treatment Essence

Atoclassic Real Tonic Soothing Origin Essence

This is an odd product in that it just seems like a fancy hanbang (medicinal/herbal ingredients) product mainly for reducing redness - which it does do very well by the way. However, this surprisingly keeps my hollow-ish/slightly sunken eyes nice and firm. It’s almost magic because this isn’t exactly advertised as an anti-aging or firming product, but I’ve gone through 2 bottles of this and it just amazingly works for me. It’s made up of 14% hanbang ingredients including chrysanthemum which even drinking the tea is supposed to help with wrinkles and anti-aging. Other interesting ingredients includes pomegranate (anti-wrinkle), rehmannia/sesame (nourishing & anti-inflammatory), peony/honeysuckle/licorice (skin conditioning & brightening), goji berry (hydrating & firming), ginger (antioxidant & elasticity), Ginseng (help boost collagen production), angelica herb/gromwell (anti-bacterial), cinnamon (acne), and licorice. » Buy Product

Hydrating/Anti-Aging First Treatment Essence

Ground Plan Energy Essence

If you are looking for a first treatment essence that not only is more hydrating than those light, watery types, but also contains zero fermented ingredients (like galactomyces for example), this is the one for you. Unfortunately fermented ingredients are such a double-edged sword. They either work really well for you, or you develop some kind of irritation preventing yourself from continued use. This essence not only contains enough hydration in my opinion to just use 1-skin (layer) rather than using the full 7-skin method, but also it contains a bunch of soothing and hydrating ingredients that really makes this perfect for sensitive skin. Interesting ingredients include oats (healing & eczema), job's tears/rice (brightening & balancing), winter melon (acne & anti-aging), rose (skin conditioning), edelweiss/purslane (antioxidants), beta-glucan/aronia berry (wound healing & collagen synthesis), anise (anti-wrinkle), East Asian mountain yam (for fighting collagen loss & reducing skin flakiness), and centella asiatica (anti-inflammatory & anti-bacterial). » Buy Product

Anti-Aging/EGF Serum

Abib Hypoderma SP1-2GF Serum Cell Repair

I initially got this 50% off, but even with a retail value of ~$92 USD, you are definitely paying for quality and advance scientific research with this serum. I still love my Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum, but this is like a more super-charged anti-aging version. This contains 10 ppm of SP1-EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) and 15 ppm of SP1-FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor). The SP1 is a special technology to help skin absorb the EGF/FGF protein molecules. While I don't have too many issues in regards to wrinkles and loss of firmness, after at least 1 month of use, this has made my skin more even (less redness), more baby soft to the touch, more bouncy/resilient, etc. You can say this does slowly reset your skin to a more youthful/baby-ish state. This serum even helped lightened these pesky melasma-like dark spots I had around my cheeks, and have made the minor pores I had on my nose nearly disappear. Other interesting ingredients include bamboo extract (helps absorb nutrients & boost collagen synthesis), niacinamide/honeysuckle (brightening & balancing), Japanese plum (glowing skin & eczema), centella asiatica/propolis (anti-inflammatory & anti-bacterial), and lotus root (heals dry & flaky skin). » Buy Product

Firming/Softening Serum

Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum

If you are looking for a great multi-tasking serum that will even out, plump, and make your skin smooth (glass skin effect), look no further than the appropriately named Glass Skin Refining Serum. I only use Curology at least once a week and my skin seems to look the best the 2nd day after usage. With the Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum, I feel like I get that “freshly exfoliated” look every day. This serum contains Peach & Lily's properietary hyaluronic acid complex which according to them a "...blend of short-chain, medium-chain and long-chain hyaluronic acid molecules helps provide hydration at every level of skin; short-chain molecules sink into the deeper layers, while medium-chain molecules fill in the layers closer to the surface of the skin, and long-chain molecules lock in moisture on the skin's surface so that skin is plumped up from within while the outer layer becomes radiant." Other interesting ingredients include niacinamide (brightening & balancing), peach extract (fatty acids & firming), East Asian mountain yam (fighting collagen loss & reducing skin flakiness), madecassoide/beta-glucan (anti-inflammatory & collagen synthesis), and peptides (firming). » Read My Full Review » Buy Product

Anti-Aging/Firming Serum

The Plant Base Time Stop Collagen Ampoule

From my Klog article..."I woke up with really soft skin the next morning. The ampoule absorbs really quickly onto your skin and the softness just felt more noticeable after washing my face.” This is also a product that I’m sure helps with firming and elasticity overtime (one of the few Korean products that contains peptides). It contains 76.52% mushroom extract to stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Other interesting ingredients include mulberry (antioxidant), prickly pear/macadamia nut oil (softening & fatty acids), licorice (skin conditioning & brightening), persimmon/aloe vera/centella asiatica (anti-inflammatory & anti-bacterial), beta-glucan/retinol (healing & collagen synthesis), kakadu plum (vitamin C & acne), and rapeseed (vitamin E). » Read My Full Review » Buy Product

Moisturizer

Abib Hydration Gel Water Tube

One of the most lightweight hydrating gels I’ve ever used. Unless I layer a lot of hydrating products underneath, I never get that wet/oily “just applied moisturizer and I’m waiting for it to absorb” look. This is a moisturizer I definitely would not mind using if I’m just going to be barefaced. Even if I use this at night, I wake up looking almost the same (slightly glowy and hydrated) as before I went to sleep. In other words, I don’t wake up looking all tired and zombie-like. I also don’t oil up too much (if any) with this moisturizer during the day (unlike others) so this is also a good choice for warmer temps/Summer time. Interesting ingredients include red seaweed (hydration & collagen synthesis), sugarcane (antioxidants), meadowfoam (balancing & moisturizing), mushroom/niacinamide (anti-aging & brightening), cactus flower (anti-inflammatory), and moringa (firming & anti-bacterial). » Buy Product

Facial Oil

Peach & Lily Pure Beam Luxe Oil

This is a nice facial oil that doesn't feel super oily. In fact, it feels light (yet still hydrating) enough that if you feel like you need more hydration, you can very easily add more layers. Even with the additional layers, it doesn't go full blown greasy. This oil is 100% natural & plant-based and is more affordable compared to many facial oils that seem as expensive as a high-end serum or cream. Ingredients includes jojoba seed oil (balancing & repairing), squalane (antioxidants & moisturizing), grape seed oil (anti-bacterial & brightening), camellia (antioxidant & omega-6 fatty acids), and sea buckthorn oil (anti-aging & healing). » Buy Product If you have any questions about any of the products above, please let me know.

Skincare Routine Order

New Post has been published on https://skin-care-routine.com/skin-care-routine/skincare-routine-order/

Skincare Routine Order

A. In What Order Do I Apply My Skin Care Products?

We asked skin care professionals the question we ask each time we buy a new skin product or add a step to our routine: In what order should I apply my skin products, and does it matter? It turns out yes!

1. Sequence is important, here’s why

According to Dr. Heather Rogers, a dermatologist and certified dermatological surgeon, she uses her skin care products in the correct order to ensure that her skin receives all the benefits of each product.

“The order of application is extremely important,” says Dr. Rogers. “The function of the skin is to keep things out, but many of the skin products we use contain ingredients that we want to use. Only a small amount of these essential ingredients can penetrate the skin, even when perfectly formulated and perfectly applied. If you do not use the products in the correct order, you will not get the best results from your skin care routine. ”

2. How to layer your skin products: a step-by-step guide

So, which product comes down to what, you ask? A simple rule of thumb is to apply your products from the thinnest to the thickest consistency or from the liquid to the cream. “Think thin to thick in general, but you also want to use the products with the ingredients that are most important to penetrate the skin (like antioxidants in serums) and finish with the products you should put on your skin (like emollients and wetting agents in moisturizers), ”says Dr. Rogers.

3. Your daily regimen

According to Dr. Rogers’ morning routine is about protecting the sun, environmental pollution and the climate. So leave your exfoliating and treatment products, such as retinol, overnight.

a. Cleanser

In the morning, start by splashing your face with warm water or, if necessary, wash it off with a mild facial cleanser designed for your skin type.

b. Toner

Most people avoid toner, as most of them are still considered aggressive and irritating to the skin. Fortunately, this is no longer the case. Although it does not physically “shrink” the pores, the new generation of toners can serve several purposes, such as a delivery system for antioxidants, vitamin B derivatives and even clay acids. In addition, each type of toner is intended for a different skin problem. Therefore, it is important to use the correct type for your skin problem.

However, if you’ve lived without toner all your life and your skin looks healthy, according to Dr. Rogers you don’t need to use one. “Toners are designed to restore the skin’s pH after it has become very basic due to aggressive soaps,” explains Dr. Rogers. “Facial cleansers are now much more balanced than toners are not a necessary step for me.” However, if you have a toner that you like to use, it never hurts to hold it.

c. Antioxidant serum

Serums are highly concentrated and nutrient-rich treatments that target specific problems. Therefore, it is best to keep them as close to the skin as possible. There are several serums on the market today, but during the day, Dr. Rogers antioxidant serums that offer a range of benefits – from reducing the skin’s inflammatory response to neutralizing damage from ultraviolet rays and environmental pollutants.

d. Eye cream

According to Dr. Para Annie Chiu, a certified dermatologist, it is important to apply eye cream at least every night – if not twice a day – from the age of 20. “It is about maintaining the health and thickness of the skin of the eyelids. Improving the quality of the skin in this area from the beginning ensures that the skin of the eyelid does not lose its sagging and smooth appearance later.”

For best results, consistency is essential. “Regular use of eye cream over time maintains the elasticity of the eyelid skin and can improve or prevent some fine lines or loss of collagen. Remember: nothing is magical. The results are not achieved overnight, ”adds Dr. Chiu added. “You can further protect the delicate skin around your eyes by choosing an SPF eye cream or using sunscreen every day.” Dr. Chiu also advises people to wear sunglasses outdoors to protect themselves from damage from ultraviolet light and wrinkles that can pass through the corners of the eyes because of the strain.

e. Spot treatment

According to Dr. Diane De Fiori, dermatologist at the Rosacea Treatment Clinic, prescription drugs and special acne treatments should be applied as close to the skin as possible to maximize their benefits.

As the special acne treatments have different active ingredients, check the product packaging or contact your dermatologist for the best use. According to esthetician and acne expert Ashley Wiley, benzoyl peroxide, a common part in the treatment of acne blemishes, works for one to three hours. “Any cream that comes in contact with it before it ends is likely to prevent the active ingredient from working properly.” Remember that special acne treatments can dry out your skin. Therefore, you should only use them where you need them.

f. Moisturizer

Yes, everyone needs a moisturizer, even if you have oily skin. “Although your body has its own natural lubrication system, made from glands that secrete oil (or sebum) to provide a protective layer against infections and adverse external conditions, most of us need it after the chaos of the sun, climate and aggression. they spread additional moisture on our skin “, explains Dr. Sandra Kopp, a certified dermatologist.

Most experts recommend that the best time to apply a moisturizer is while your skin is still moist. The sooner you apply the serum and treatment, the sooner you can absorb the necessary moisture with the moisturizer.

If you are using a special acne treatment, you can skip these areas by applying the moisturizer to ensure that the ingredients do not interfere with the active ingredients in the treatment.

g. Sunscreen

The sunscreen should be the final step in your daily skin care routine when using any physical or mineral sunscreen that physically blocks ultraviolet rays. This step becomes difficult when you are using a chemical sunscreen.

Dr. Rogers explains: “Chemical sunscreens must be absorbed by the skin to be effective. Post-moisturizing application delays and prevents this. However, if you apply the chemical sunscreen before the moisturizer, it will not work as well because the skin is coated with chemical sunscreen. ”

To get around this, Dr. Rogers must use a physical sunscreen with zinc and apply it after the moisturizer. “Zinc is safe, effective and offers the widest protection against UVA and UVB rays.”

If you like using chemical sunscreens, look for a formula that offers moisturizing benefits so you can meet your daily hydration needs while protecting your skin.

4. Your night regime

Since your skin heals naturally at night, your nighttime routine should be about treating your skin and giving it what it needs, says Dr. Rogers. “If your skin looks dull, exfoliate it. When irritated, moisturize and protect. “Here’s the best order of skincare products to make sure you’re getting the most out of them:

a. (Double) cleanser

To remove dirt, grime, oil and makeup of the day, some experts recommend removing makeup with a special makeup remover first, before washing your face with a mild cleanser. Better yet, try a dual cleanse, where you first use a cleansing oil to dissolve your makeup and then wash your face again with the regular cleanser.

“The first step is to remove the makeup. This is the stage where you would normally use a cleansing oil ”, explains Kathleen Funk, a cosmetic acupuncturist and herbalist. “The second step is to use a facial soap to remove all the excess sebum, dirt and makeup that you loosened in the first step. This will keep your skin fresh and perfectly prepared to absorb your skin regime. ”

TIP: If you are using a physical scrub, as a scrub for the face, use it in place of the detergent after removing makeup.

b. Toners, essences and boosters

If you are using toner, apply it as you would in the morning.

At night, some people also like to layer different types of skin care intensifiers that they consider to be mist, essences, beauty tonic or moisturizing serums (hyaluronic acid). These are infused with various active ingredients, but for the most part their purpose is to moisturize and nourish the skin.

Because they are light, almost watery formulas, apply them as a tonic after washing your face. “If you use both, you apply the toner and then the essence,” says Dr. Rogers. “Toner is more about cleaning and the essence is more about applying a treatment.” The same rules apply when using multiple boosters: from the thinnest to the thickest.

b. Eye cream

In addition to treating crow’s feet and dark circles, eye creams can also protect the sensitive eye area from other skin products.

“In general, you want to apply eye cream before treatments to protect the area around the eyes from effective ingredients that can cause irritation,” said Dr. Rogers.

c. Treatments, serums and peels

Like the rest of the body, the skin repairs, restores and regenerates most of its work while we sleep. For this reason, most targeted skin care treatments target prescription drugs (tretinoin creams, acne and rosacea), retinol creams, exfoliating treatments (peeling pads and masks) and anti-aging serums (containing peptides, growth and other biologically active ingredients added). – are best used at night. Instead of applying all of your treatment serums and creams, Dr. Rogers suggests choosing your night treatment based on your skin’s current needs.

“Many steps only increase the risk of irritation and decrease the likelihood of the desired result,” says Dr. Rogers. “Choose your night treatment based on your skin’s needs that night, not what you have in your medicine cabinet. Some nights, all she can do is wash, moisturize and go to bed. There is always tomorrow to give your skin more love. ”

Here are other considerations:

Choose between prescription drugs (for acne or rosacea) or exfoliating (like AHA / BHA pillows, exfoliating or detoxifying masks). “Using both on the same night significantly increases the risk of skin irritation,” warns Dr. Rogers.

Also, do not use retinol creams (over-the-counter or over-the-counter) the same night you rub.

Exfoliating treatments: use sparingly, one to three times a week.

d. Moisturizer or night cream

Some people use the same moisturizer day and night. However, moisturizers or night creams are usually thicker and heavier and can be absorbed over several hours.

“Moisturizers, especially the heavier ones that are used at night, create a protective layer on the skin to prevent water from evaporating while you sleep,” says Dr. Rogers. “Maintaining high levels of water on the skin is the key to healing and maintaining healthy skin. If you are using the right moisturizer, this should be your final step, as nothing will go through it. “If your skin is dry, you can add an oil to your face before applying the night cream.

5. Timing Matters, Too

Regardless of the order of application, some experts consider it important to consider the time that your skin takes to absorb the products. However, as most of us are in a hurry to get somewhere (or go to the bag), Dr. Rogers says that this is not always possible. Your advice? Keep your skin care routine simple.

“Many products say that you have to wait between five and 30 minutes before taking the next step to ensure proper absorption. But who has time for this? If it gets too complicated, it simply won’t, ”says Dr. Rogers. “If you have a lot of steps, take a short break (one minute) so that each product has time to react with the skin. For example, at night, after washing my face and using my serum or night treatment, I just end my day and go to bed. I keep my moisturizer on the nightstand and apply it before bed to give these specialized treatments, typically expensive, more time to penetrate the skin before sealing them with my cream. ”

B. How to Find the Best Skincare Routine, According to a Dermatologist

You want to start a skin care routine, but you have a few questions: How many products do you need to use? Which ones are suitable for your skin? In what order should you use these products? And what do these products really do?

Dr. Ashley Magovern, a certified dermatologist, owner and founder of Manhattan Dermatology, says that three simple steps must be followed to get the maximum benefit from regular skin care: clean, treat and moisturize. You are probably already familiar with cleansing and moisturizing, but what does “treating” your skin mean? According to Dr. Magovern it means using serums or creams full of superheroes for the skin, like vitamin C, retinol, alpha-hydroxy acid and more. “I think it is really important to add an intermediate step between the cleansing and moisturizing components,” says Dr. Magovern. “It can make a big difference over time and in terms of your skin’s health and just in terms of how your skin looks and ages.”

Next, Dr. Create a basic step-by-step skin care routine that you can use as a model for your own treatment regimen. Product recommendations have been tested by GH Beauty Lab, dermatologists’ favorites and best-selling online choices. Of course, each person’s skin is different. Therefore, adjust them according to your age and skin type.

1. Your daycare routine

a. Cleaning

Cleansing is the first step towards a good skin care routine. The type of detergent you use is more important than you think – gentle face washes are the way to go, especially if you plan on using more active ingredients later. “Many people clean a lot, either very often, or with a detergent that is too strong that really destroys the skin barrier,” warns Dr. Magovern.

b. Tone

Toner is an optional step, but if you have a toner that you like, be sure to use it. Dr. Magovern says that toner can be a great way to balance the skin’s pH levels. If you have acne-prone skin, look for a toner with ingredients like salicylic acid to help relieve rashes. If you have dry or sensitive skin, choose a moisturizing tonic for soothing.

c. Vitamin C in serum

When it comes to serums, Dr. Magovern should use a vitamin C serum during the day. “I think everyone should use vitamin C, no matter how old you are, even when you’re 20,” says Dr. Magovern. “It helps to undo many of the damage we have suffered from the sun and pollution.” When using a vitamin C serum, look for a serum that contains a stable form of vitamin C so that the molecule can actually penetrate the skin.

d. Eye cream

Eye creams fall into the “snack” category. Apply eye cream with the ring finger (the weakest finger) so as not to accidentally damage the eye area.

e. Moisturizer

After treating your skin, it’s time to hydrate. The moisturizer keeps the skin hydrated and strengthens the skin barrier. For daytime use, choose a lighter moisturizer that is quickly absorbed and does not smudge under makeup.

f. Sun protection

This is the most important step in your skin care routine. “If you are not using sunscreen, you may well not be doing any of these other steps,” says Dr. Magovern. “The sun is the main reason why people’s skin ages prematurely.” Attention: protecting your skin from the sun is important even when you spend your days indoors, as ultraviolet rays can still enter through windows.

2. Your nighttime skin care routine

You should change your skin care routine at night – and not just because you don’t need a sun protection factor while you sleep! According to Dr. Magovern it is the perfect time to make sure that your skin is receiving as much nutrients and active ingredients as possible while your skin regenerates and repairs itself while you sleep, in your nighttime routine. You will still follow the basic steps – cleaning, treating and moisturizing – but at night the routine seems a little different.

a. Cleaning

Dr. Magovern still recommends using a mild detergent. However, at night you can use a detergent that can remove your makeup, such as B. an oil-based facial soap. If you want to take it a step further, you can even try a “double clean” using a water-based facial wash after an oil cleaner to remove any remaining dirt and oil from the pores.

b. Tone

If you want to use toner, apply it as you would in the morning. This is done before you start using serums and treatments.

c. Serums and treatments

Dr. Magovern is a big fan of using alpha hydroxy acid to lighten the skin by removing dead skin cells. It helps to build collagen and improves shine. If you want to include retinol in your skin care regimen, Dr. Magovern to use it during your evening ritual. Retinol is a form of vitamin A that helps to reduce visible wrinkles, light spots and pore size.

“Anyone can use retinol,” says Magovern. You can start using retinol as early as age 20, but this becomes especially important as you get older. “At 40 and 50, retinol should definitely come into play, if it hasn’t already.”

d. Eye cream

Dr. Magovern likes to encourage his patients to exercise the skin around their eyes to deal with more active ingredients (like retinol) and reap its benefits. “You don’t have to use much, but if you start training your skin to tolerate more active products around your eyes, you will see more changes,” she says. You can apply some serum or treatment around the eye area and then use your favorite eye cream.

e. Treatment of acne blemishes

If you have a pimple that you would like to go away sooner or later, this is a good time to apply acne treatments. Rather than focusing on pimples when they appear, Magovern recommends that you stick to your skin care routine as a preventative measure. “If you just treat the area, you will have acne next door if your skin is clogged. You have rashes because oil builds up on your skin. Therefore, you need to keep your pores clean all over your face.”

f. Moisten

Moisture is very important at night, as it forms a barrier that retains the active ingredients and moisture. That way, when you wake up, your skin will be shiny and fleshy – and ready to start the day.

g. Facial oil

Facial oils are a great way to maintain moisture while you sleep. “Many people think that if they like acne or oily skin, their skin is bursting with oil, but that is not true,” says Magovern. “Many of them can really help to moisturize and soften the skin.” Especially when you use ingredients like retinol and alpha-hydroxy acids, facial oils are a great way to add extra moisture.

To create my make up look here is my step by step.

Skin Prep:

(Cleansers, toners, moisturisers, primers)

One of the most important lessons we can all learn is just how important skin care is.

We start with Simple® Kind to Skin Cleansing Wipes, to gently clean away any old make up traces. Next, we use a Simple Refreshing Facial Wash Gel to get that deep clean fresh skin without the damage of harsh soaps. Pat dry and we are ready for the next step.

Rodial Dragon's blood Hyaluronic Tonic spray; with a few squirts we dust the face with a mist of this amazing hydrating product. Relax for a few minutes and allow it to absorb into your skin.

Some targeting is the next port of call, using No7 Protect & perfect Intense Eye cream (advanced) we treat those fine lines at the corners of eyes and those darker bags beneath benefit from a few spots gentle massaged in also. Allow a few minutes for the product to work and for your relaxation. Pop on some tunes and enjoy this mini self-pamper.

L'Oreal Paris Revitalift. Is in my opinion a must for that final finish to your skin care regime when you reach that certain age. A little “must have” to preserve what's left of your youthful skin, a moisturiser with built in sun protection and age deifying promise. Time to transform with the magic of make-up.

Eyes:

(primer, eyeshadows, liner, pigment)

Starting with our eyes, we can place some eye cooling pads under the eyes to help reduce any swelling and catch loose make-up that may fall.

With an array of specific make-up brushes for various techniques using Primark's own brand Ps... Cool Suede eyeshadow palette (20 variety pack) there is plenty of colour and some sparkle to choose from. We use a lighter colour as a base to cover the full eyelid and give you that canvas to work on. Taking another eye brush and some shades, work these gently into the areas of choice for each shade/colour. Blend with blending brush to avoid harsh lines for that flawless flow. With Avon Max and more eyeliner pencil.; apply to the eyelid just at the lash line, for that extra wow add a little wing or two taking your eyes to a new open dimension.  re-apply eyeshadow to the area’s you wish to shade more, blending in as you perfect the effect. As my chosen false eye lash choice I overlap the eyeliner on lash line with Phoera magnetic eyeliner ready for attachment when completing the eyes for that extra glam.

Brows and Lashes:

(brush with colour, mascara, false lashes)

Giving our lashes a light brush over with Maybellene false eyelash effect mascara, whilst those are drying we use Benefit glimmer brow to brush and shape our pre plucked/waxed or threaded eyebrows another essential for some of us who worry about our appearance. Finally attach the  Pheora Magnetic mid full party lashes and we now have amazing eye’s.  

Face:

(Foundation, concealer, blusher, contour, highlight)

Removing the under-eye pads, it's now time for our face foundation. Starting with PÜR correction primer; used on those little area’s that need that bit more TLC. Taking a foundation/contour application brush evenly apply PS my perfect Colour Double Coverage Matte Foundation (oil Free) to face and neck areas, taking care not to accidently cover ant of your eye work. Once complete coverage, I needed to apply No7’s Dark Circle Corrector to even out that look for the most flawless appearance. Using blush brush and the Max Factor Crème Puff Blush for cheek, apply to cheek bones with shades and highlights to create the desired and defined effect. Also using the highlighter to add some more depth and contour to forehead, nose, under chin, neck, Max Factor Crème Puff Blush.

Lips:

(pencil, lipstick, lip gloss)

Using the Avon lipliner following the natural line of the lip to emphasise the shape. With a lip brush and some precise gentle strokes apply the lipstick colour. A few rubs together with lips and your party pout is ready....

Now Rock and Own this look !!

The Importance of Healthy Skin

- Wear a sunhat/cap

- Apply high-factor sunscreen often

- Avoid sunbathing a lot

- Stay out of the midday sun as it’s rays are strongest

Some tips for skin hygiene if you are a teenager are...

- Eat foods high in proteins, vitamins and minerals

- Avoid foods high in fat and sugar

- Drink lots of water

- Clean skin often

what is your personal skincare routine? and the order too?

1. to take off my makeup, i use the versed day dissolve cleansing balm. only use a pea sized amount and rub your hands together to melt the balm. Massage into your skin until the makeup is loose then add water, massaging it in until it’s a milky texture. Wash off.

2. i cleanse with the Rose Gold Rescue face wash by Bliss. A little trick i use when cleansing is to pump only one pump of product into my hands and dilute it with cool water. Rub your hands together to form suds and then wash your face. I usually massage the product into my skin for 1-3 minutes.

3. at night i use a mask. my go to mask right now is the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay. It does an amazing job at drawing dirt and pollution from your pores. Some nights if I need moisture, I’ll use the Neutrogena Hyaluronic Acid sheet mask it’s amazing... seriously. Around 2-3 times a week, i exfoliate with The Ordinary AHA/BHA facial peel. It’s very strong so if your skin isn’t used to direct acids, i wouldn’t advise you use it.

4. TONER!! i love toner tbh. i’m a toner hoe. the pixi glow tonic is amazing for beginners and it has exfoliating acids so everyday you’re exfoliating mildly. i use the mario badescu rose water and witch hazel toner. it’s gentle and really moisturizing. i love it.

5. both mornings and nights i like to use a facial spray for added hydration. i use the mario badescu rosewater facial mist

6. at night i use serum. use a serum that specifically targets your skin concerns. i won’t recommend mine just because i’m not sure i like it very much. you can incorporate spot treatments in this spot too if necessary

7. moisturizer. i use the Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra Rich cream. it’s thick which makes it perfect for night. my skin is always amazingly soft in the morning.
