lets talk skincare⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🎀

disclaimer i am NOT a dermatologist so to create this post i did LOTS of research and i'll link all of my sources at the end of the post. i just wanted to kind of put everything that i found in here so i hope its helpful 💕🗒️

HOW TO DETERMINE UR SKIN TYPE ;

wash ur face with a gentle cleanser, pat dry and wait for about 30 minutes. if ur skin appears shiny throughout then u have oily skin, if ur skin appears tight/flaky then u have dry skin.

if u notice a slight shine on your nose and forehead then you have normal skin. if you have a combination skin type, then the skin will get oily around the t-zone.

INGREDIENTS TO LOOK FOR ;

for skin with acne -> salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur and mandelic acid.

for dry skin -> lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, ceramides and glycerin.

for pigmented skin -> mandelic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C, and arbutin.

INGREDIENTS THAT U SHOULD NOT MIX ;

mixing retinol and vitamin C causes irritation, mixing vitamin C and glycolic acid results in over-exfoliation, mixing AHA and retinol causes extreme dryness.

INGREDIENTS THAT U SHOULD MIX ;

hyaluronic acid + ceramides = repairing skin barrier. niacinimide + salicylic acid = healing acne. retinol + niacinimide = collagen production.

GLOWY SKIN TIPS ;

use a cleansing balm to cleanse ur face to remove all the impurities from ur skin

use serums to hydrate ur skin

lather on moisturizer, dont put too much to the point where ur skin cannot produce its own oils, but you MUST moisturize

apply sunscreen everyday, not only on ur face but also on ur neck and hands

face masks 1-2x a week

get enough sleep, drink enough water, and steer clear of overly processed foods

SKINCARE DOESNT STOP AT UR CHIN ;

its important to take care of the skin on ur neck for SO many reasons because skincare doesnt stop at ur chin. ur neck reflects the first signs of aging, and its most susceptible to sun damage so show it some love!

use the same products that u use on ur face on ur neck also, moisturize ur neck and always apply sunscreen, lastly, use some retinol to build collagen.

HOW TO APPLY RETINOL ;

when applying retinol, use a pea sized amount. avoid application around ur eyes and the openings in ur nose, and use retinol in ur night skincare routine only.

HOW OFTEN TO USE SKINCARE ;

retinol should be used nightly (1-2x a week for beginners). hyaluronic acid should be used (2x a day). salicylic acid should be used (1-2x a week). sunscreen should be applied daily, no need to apply it at night and if u can, you should reapply it every 2-3 hours. vitamin C (1x a day in the morning).

SERUMS FOR UR SKIN-TYPE ;

for oily skin use -> salicylic acid, niacinimide and mandelic acid.

for dry skin use -> hyaluronic acid, ceramides and lactic acid.

for normal skin use -> vitamin C, glycolic acid, and retinol.

for aging skin use -> peptides, retinol and vitamin C.

for acne prone skin use -> salicylic acid, retinol, and niacinimde.

for combination skin use -> mandelic acid, niacinimide, and glycolic acid.

WHAT TYPE OF FACEMASK IS BEST FOR YOU ;

cream masks are good for all skin-types and it soothes and moisturizes. clay masks are good for oily or acne prone skin and it absorbs oil and controls shine. charcoal masks are good for oily or acne prone skin, and it deep cleanses and unclogs.

sheet masks are good for all skin-types, it nourishes and hydrates. enzyme masks are good for all skin-types and it gently exfoliates and brightens the skin. bubble masks are good for all skin-types and it hydrates and soothes.

gel masks are good for all skin-types and it provides a cooling effect. exfoliating masks are good for all skin-types BUT if u have sensitive skin then exfoliating masks are not for you. exfoliating masks remove dead skin cells and debris.

HOW TO LAYER UR SKINCARE ;

in the morning (cleanser + toner + hydrating serum + vitamin c + moisturizer + sunscreen) in the evening (double cleanse + toner + hydrating serum + retinol + moisturizer)

the ultimate guide to glowy, clear skin

so your skin looks great with and without makeup for your summer glow up 🫶🏽

things you should never skip:

- double cleansing at night

- SPF 50 during the day

- spraying a mist before applying hydrating ingredients

- getting 6-8 hours of sleep every night

- washing your hands before touching your face

- washing your pillowcases, hair wraps, and bedding once a week

- using paper towel to dry your face

the main way to have glowy skin? maintaining the skin barrier.

Find everyday products with the following ingredients:

- prebiotics + probiotics

I always use the Axis-Y Biome Radiating Essence

- fatty acids, cholesterols, and ceramides

I always use the Stratia Lipid Gold Serum/Lotion and Aestura Cream

- hydrators: Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, Betaine, Panthenol

I always use the Hada Labo Hyaluronic Acid lotion and Mediheal NMF Ampoule Mask

- anti-inflammatories, antibacterials and antifungals: Propolis, Heartleaf, Centella Asiatica, Cica

I always use the Cosrx Propolis Ampoule and Abib Heartleaf Essence

the other part of having glowy skin? minimal texture, radiance, and clear pores.

These are things you’d use 1-2x a week:

- a surface exfoliator: Lactic Acid (darker-skin friendly; is also hydrating), Glycolic Acid

I always use the Paula’s Choice Lactic/Mandelic Acid exfoliator

- a deep exfoliator: Salicylic Acid, EX-07 enzyme, PHAs

I always use the numbuzin no.4 Pore Zero toner pad

- Vitamin A derivatives/alternatives: retinol, tretinoin, bakuchiol, resveratrol

I always use the 23 Years Old Bakuchiol A cream

You can use your surface and deep exfoliators together, but never mix an exfoliator with Vitamin A!

The biggest help to your skin being healthy and clear? Your diet.

EAT YOUR SKINCARE INGREDIENTS (not literally)

What’s going on inside your body reflects directly on your skin - from constipation, to period cycle stage, to lactose intolerance, and more.

The essentials:

• Collagen and Vitamin A

- BB LAB Collagen powder (also has hyaluronic acid and vitamin C)

- Grass-fed Gelatin Gummies

- Country Farms Super Reds

- Leafy Greens, Carrots, Pumpkin, Cantaloupe, Mango

• Prebiotics and Probiotics

- Country Farm Super Greens

- Seed Daily Synbiotic

- Kombucha

- Kefir

- Yogurt

• good ole H20 :)

- at least 64 ounces (8 cups) a day

Wanna keep your skincare routine simple? You’ll only need 5 things.

1. Oil Cleanser (PM only)

2. Gel/Milky Cleanser

3. an all-in-one toner (hydrates, nourishes, calms)

4. a great moisturizer (preferably with fatty acids and ceramides!)

5. SPF

Just make sure your diet, exercise routine, and sleep routine are the best they can be! 💘

A guide to dry skin !! ˚˖𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒✧˚.⋆

As both dry skin and eczema girly I have learned that I really need to be cautious of my skincare and body care (which I chose to ignore back then and ended up stripping my skin TwT) to prevent white flakes obliterating my face every morning and night. So for all my combination/dry skin fellas out there that need tips, I gotchu! -- to the best of my knowledge.ヾ(￣▽￣)

To decide whether you have a dry skin type, try to find out if you often get flaky, rough, or tight feeling on your skin after washing your face with a normal cleaner. Dry skin can also constantly get itchy most likely due to dehydration, if you feel confident about your skin type being dry, then you're recommended to focus on keeping your face moisturized and hydrated. And lastly, make sure you're getting enough vitamin D, vitamin A, niacinamide, zinc, or iron as being deficient in these nutrients can result in dry skin.

I recommend you try out products containing hyaluronic acid, glycerin, aloe vera extract, and ceramides since these are very fresh for your skin! And it's best to stay away from harsher ingredients like alcohol, isopropyl, and sulfates also preventing too much scrubbing/exfoliating!

Now, it's finally time for my favorite parts, skincare recommendations! From the products I have (bravely) tried for the sake of healing my skin, I will leave out a few product recommendations that I LOVE with my favorite ingredients from each of them -- please feel free to also leave out your skincare recommendations, I'd trust more than tiktok, but of course, do research beforehand.

Aera's 2024 Skincare favs 🧼🌸𓏲⋆ ִֶָ ๋𓂃 ⋆ᡣ𐭩

Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Toner: Glycerin, Sea water, Panthenol

Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-cica Water-fit Sun Serum: Glycerin, Butylene glycol, Centella asiatica, Hyaluronic acid

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Moist Cream: Glycerin, Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin E

Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture 5.5 Soft Cleansing Gel (Unscented): Glycerin, Butylene glycol, Sodium chloride

Johnson's Baby Oil

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (Berry)

Nivea Rich Care & Color (French Pink)

Skintific Mugwort Acne Clay Stick: Niacinamide, Salicylic acid, Centella

I swear by these products and I will invest on them 4ever!! I really hoped these help you girlies to get new insights about skincares and your skin, I'll be making more of these cause I really do enjoy making them, if u have any requests, feel free to!

sophies glow up guide.. (simple)

this has been a work in progress for over 2 weeks! ive been procrastinating to get this done, so im excited to share this with you! DISCLAIMER i am not professionalised in this! i am only giving out advice on whats worked for me.

want to glow up? but dont know where to start? well here is your simple glow up guide, we will go over-

health

hygiene

skincare

attitude and mindset

this will be your basic glow up guide, simple and easy to read and follow with.

health and nutrition:

your health is one of the most important things in your life! It affects your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. that's why it's so important to be productive about your health and try to prevent illness and disease etc.

fitness:

im not going to deep within this as your fitness levels are based on personal experience and i recommend to consult a doctor before doing an extreme amount of exercise.

rather than aiming 10k steps as people ask you too, start aiming for 5k, its obtainable for a busy person or someone who doesn't walk as much, overall walking is very beneficial.

if you have ability join a sport, dance and or gym! they keep you healthy and fit and can be super fun!

try a simple workout, pilates, dance, yoga biking, running etc, there are lots of youtube videos and even apps for workouts.

if you can walk places, as i said its very beneficial for your health and keeps your in shape.

nutrition:

I'm not going to go super deep into this, as no diet fits everyone and please consult with your doctor before taking dieting or anything like that seriously.

slowing start eating healthy, you can still eat your cravings and have yummy meals just try to balance out your diet with healthy foods, good fats, carbohydrates, protein, sugar and bad fats.

eat less sugar. sugar has many reasons why its bad for you to have over your daily intake so try to eat less sugars while still eating your fav treats!

dont skip breakfast! i know people saying doing omad (one meals a day) is good for you and skipping breakfast can befit weight lose, but no, breakfast is one of the most important meals so use it for high protein and fibre meals .

eat more friut and veg, simple as that.

hygiene:

hygiene is so important because it is what keeps you clean and healthy. hygiene should be one of your top priorities for your day. hygiene effects how people think of you, what you think for yourself etc.

brush your teeth well! brushing your teeth well keeps your breathe smelling good, clean teeth.

wash your body- washing your body with soap and or body wash and sometimes even a nice body butter can keep you clean and smelling good.

look after your skin- find out your skin type and get a cleanser for your skin type. find out if silicon based or water based is better for you skin.

skincare:

skincare is such a hard thing to ace! here is a simple routine and tips for you to ace your skincare. skincare is meant to help cleanse your skin and leave your skin feeling amazing.

routines:

cleanse - take a few minutes to cleanse your skin, even a simple micellar water will get rid of will get rid of makeup and dirt.

toner - toning is a great thing to use to help refresh skin especially if it includes ingredients like witch hazel which helps tightens pores.

serum- a plain hydration serum or some hyloronic acid etc will be enough to keep your skin looking going through your day

moisturiser- this is what keeps your skin moisturised for the day or can give you breakouts so be careful you pick the right one for your skin type look out for ingredients like Vitamin E, glycerin, Pro-Vitamin B5, and borage Seed Oil, which are all great moisturisers for your skin. 

attitude and mindset:

mindset:

believing that you can grow, change, and improve is the best mindset to have, if you settle once you've done something and never try to accomplish greater you will have little success in life.

goal-setting mindset.

knowing what you want and willing yourself to reach it are two different things. when you know your goals, they motivate you. set high goals and don't stop until you reach them.

focused mindset.

one of the worst setbacks that can happen is losing focus and allowing procrastination to happen. discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

positive mindset.

choosing to be positive and having a good attitude will determine a lot about your life. be positive, not passive. instead of giving yourself reasons why you can't or shouldn't, give yourself reasons why you can and should go for it.

attitude:

positive attitude

a positive attitude is more than just smiling often and acting cheerful when others are around. it’s a way of looking at the world with optimism and hopefulness, where others would only see obstacles and dead ends. 

be kind to yourself

work on self improvement

step back and focus on goals

spend time with nature

talk to other people / meet new people

act with a purpose

be around positive people

thank you for reading this far! <3 i hope you enjoyed.!

i am always open to suggestions for my posts, my dms are open <3

Step-by-Step Guide to a Complete Daily Skincare Routine for Glowing Skin

Achieving glowing, radiant skin is not just about using the right products but also about following a consistent daily skincare routine. Whether you’re new to skincare or looking to refine your routine, this guide will help you establish the perfect steps to get that luminous, healthy-looking skin you’ve always wanted.

Step 1: Cleanse Your Face (Morning and Night)

Cleansing is the foundation of any skincare routine. It removes dirt, excess oil, makeup, and impurities that accumulate on your skin throughout the day.

Morning: Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. If you have oily skin, opt for a foaming or gel cleanser. Dry skin types may benefit from a hydrating cream cleanser.

Night: Double cleansing is recommended in the evening. Start with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then follow up with your regular cleanser to ensure your skin is thoroughly clean.

Pro tip: Use lukewarm water to wash your face, as hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils, causing dryness and irritation.

Step 2: Apply a Toner

Toners help balance the skin’s pH level and remove any remaining traces of dirt or makeup. They also prep the skin for the next steps of your routine.

Choose the right toner: If you have oily or acne-prone skin, look for toners with salicylic acid or witch hazel. For dry or sensitive skin, opt for a hydrating toner with ingredients like rose water or glycerin.

How to apply: Use a cotton pad or your hands to gently pat the toner onto your skin.

Pro tip: Avoid toners with alcohol, as they can dry out your skin and cause irritation.

Step 3: Use a Serum

Serums are packed with active ingredients designed to target specific skin concerns. This is where you can tailor your skincare routine based on what your skin needs.

For glowing skin: Vitamin C serums are excellent for brightening and evening out skin tone. It’s also a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from environmental damage.

For hydration: If your skin feels dry or dull, a serum with hyaluronic acid can deeply hydrate and plump your skin.

Pro tip: Apply your serum while your skin is still slightly damp from toner to help lock in hydration.

Step 4: Apply Eye Cream

The skin around the eyes is delicate and prone to dryness, fine lines, and puffiness. Incorporating an eye cream into your routine helps to address these issues.

For dark circles and puffiness: Look for eye creams with caffeine or peptides.

For fine lines and hydration: Hyaluronic acid or retinol-based eye creams are great for minimizing fine lines and keeping the under-eye area hydrated.

Pro tip: Use your ring finger to gently pat the eye cream around your eyes, as it exerts the least pressure.

Step 5: Moisturize

Moisturizing is crucial for keeping your skin hydrated and creating a protective barrier. A good moisturizer will seal in all the products you’ve applied in the previous steps.

For oily skin: Choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer, such as a gel or water-based product.

For dry skin: A richer, cream-based moisturizer will provide the necessary hydration.

Pro tip: Don’t skip moisturizing, even if you have oily skin. Proper hydration helps to regulate your skin’s oil production and prevent breakouts.

Step 6: Sunscreen (Morning Only)

Sunscreen is the most important step in your morning routine. Daily sun protection prevents premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and skin cancer.

Broad-spectrum SPF: Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

How to apply: Use about a nickel-sized amount and apply it evenly across your face and neck. Reapply every two hours if you’re outdoors.

Pro tip: If you’re using makeup, look for a moisturizer or foundation with built-in SPF for added protection.

Step 7: Exfoliate (1-2 Times a Week)

Exfoliation is essential for removing dead skin cells that can make your skin look dull and clog your pores. However, over-exfoliating can irritate your skin, so limit this step to once or twice a week.

For physical exfoliation: Use a gentle scrub with fine particles to buff away dead skin cells.

For chemical exfoliation: A chemical exfoliant containing AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) or BHA (beta hydroxy acid) can effectively slough off dead skin without being abrasive.

Pro tip: Always follow exfoliation with a good moisturizer, as exfoliation can leave your skin feeling dry or tight.

Step 8: Face Mask (1-2 Times a Week)

A face mask is a great addition to your skincare routine, especially when your skin needs an extra boost. Face masks can target various skin concerns, from hydration to deep cleansing.

For glowing skin: Look for masks with ingredients like Vitamin C, turmeric, or honey that brighten the complexion.

For hydration: A mask with hyaluronic acid or aloe vera can soothe and replenish dry skin.

Pro tip: Apply your face mask after cleansing and before moisturizing to get the most benefit from the ingredients.

Additional Tips for Glowing Skin:

Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is key to keeping your skin hydrated from the inside out. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day.

Eat a balanced diet: Incorporating foods rich in antioxidants, such as berries, leafy greens, and nuts, can help promote healthy, glowing skin.

Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night to allow your skin to repair and rejuvenate. Lack of sleep can lead to dull, tired-looking skin.

Don’t skip SPF: Sun damage is one of the leading causes of premature aging. Wearing sunscreen daily is crucial for maintaining youthful, glowing skin.

Consistency is key: Stick to your skincare routine every day, and be patient. It can take a few weeks to see noticeable improvements, but consistency will pay off.

Conclusion

A daily skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. By following these simple steps—cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize, and protect—you can achieve glowing, radiant skin that looks and feels healthy. Tailor your routine to your skin’s specific needs, and remember to be consistent for long-lasting results.

Chapter One

Hi guys! Welcome! I feel like it's only appropriate to start this blog off with some skin care. However today we aren't going to just talk about products because before we can decide what's best for your skin we need to know your skin type. There are three major skin types, oily skin, dry skin and combination skin. Some might say that acne prone skin is another type but that's up to debate. Oily skin can be described as skin that secretes an excessive amount of the body’s natural oils. Dry skin is the complete opposite of that because it secretes little to no natural oils leaving the skin very dry. Combination skin is a combination of the two skin types meaning some parts of the skin are oily (usually the t-zone) and some parts are dry (usually the side of your cheeks). 

My oily|combination skin tips;

Any product with high amounts of niacinamide and salicylic acid works wonders for your oily skin.

Make sure to wash your face both day and night.

Stick to a proper skincare routine.

Use fragrance free products.

Drink lots of water.

Try your best to avoid oily foods in your diet.

My dry skin tips;

Wash your face once a day preferably at night only.

Try to stay away from stripping cleansers and bar soap cleansers.

Incorporate products with hyaluronic acid , ceramides and glycerin into your skin care.

 Use a moisturizing cream and not moisturizing lotion.

Drink lots of water

Try to keep a fresh diet

Stick to your skincare routine

How to apply your skincare in order.

Cleanser- You should always start your routine with a clean base. So picking a cleanser that's suitable for your skin type is important because that's the first line of action in your routine. For the dry skin girlies as I recommended, only wash your face at night so in the morning to achieve that clean base you can cleanse with micellar water and a cotton pad.

Toner- Toner removes any last traces of dirt, grime and impurities stuck in your pores after you wash your face. When added to your daily skincare routine and used regularly, it can have a major positive impact on the appearance and tightness of your pores. Be keen to look at the ingredients before picking a toner that's suitable for your skin. Remember to pick ingredients that will help your skin and achieve your desired goal of clean skin.

Serums- Your next step should consist of serums. Now it is important to note which serums are to be used at which time. For example a serum containing high amounts of retinol should be used at night only. In your serums is where you can really incorporate the elements needed to help your skin. I will do another post talking about the best brands and products containing the best ingredients for your skin type but for now we can look and use what we can.

Eye-cream- Eye-cream is a very controversial step. A lot of people argue that it's unnecessary or that it doesn't work. Personally, I love it and think it works wonders for the puffiness under my eyes. As a university student this has become very helpful in trying to hide my lack of sleep. 

Moisturizer- This is supposedly the last step. Well at night that is. Again the selection of this product should vary on the type of skin you have.

Sunscreen- Sunscreen should be the last thing you apply in your routine. It should be applied 15 minutes before contact with sunlight. I don't think I have to stress on how important sunscreen is. Picking a sunscreen however can be tricky. Some people tend to need higher levels of spf in order to be protected while others can use lower levels and still be fine. I say use the highest available to you if you don't know what level you need. There's no harm in it and you are sure you are protected.

Bonus face masks- Face masks aren't a part of your everyday skincare routine but it should be a part of your overall routine. A face mask to exfoliate should be added to your routine and it should be done at least once and week. Exfoliation should not be done everyday as it can be very harmful to the skin's barrier. A mask for hydration should also be added to your routine to be done at least once a week.

I hope you learnt a lot in today's post. That's all for this week. Be sure to join me next Friday for a lesson on haircare. Have a wonderful week and be sure to stay hydrated. Thank you for reading!

Here is a song to help set the mood for your routine.

Skincare Concerns: Battling Windburn

Backstory: So I'm a dumbass and got windburn again. It's the first major snowstorm of the season and I'm out there furiously shoveling this horrid, wet, heavy snow--seriously, it's like straight up slush falling from the sky--while the wind is whipping my hood off. Suffice it to say, same as last winter, I've gotten windburned again.

What Is Windburn: According to Healthline, windburn is when your skin is exposed to harsh wind, temperatures, and possibly sunlight, causing it to lose moisture and become red and enflamed; you may feel a burning sensation. Another way to think of it is that the wind literally gives your skin friction burns.

Prevention:

Protect your skin with a layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor before going out

Makeup can help too; anything that puts an extra layer between your bare skin and the wind

Cover as much skin as possible; use a scarf or mask to protect your face

Treatment:

Wash your face with lukewarm water

Avoid gel cleansers and scrubs; use cream cleanser instead

Avoid harsh skincare products, e.g. astringents, toners, exfoliants, etc.

Moisturize frequently

Use cold compresses to ease the 'burn'

You can also use OTC pain/inflammation relievers

Summary: Stay away from harsh ingredients like exfoliants, strong acids, toners, astringents, etc. If you have windburn, you want to put moisture back in your skin, not be pulling it out. I also recommend avoiding brightening agents because your skin will already be red and agitated from the windburn. You don't want to make it worse.

Use products heavy in lipids (oils), ceramides, NMF, and other barrier-strengthening ingredients, and hyaluronic acid. Beta glucan is another good active to look for. Use SPF if you're going to be outside because oils can increase risk of sunburn.

Read on for a more detailed explanation.

GOOD PRODUCTS TO USE WHEN WINDBURNED

Cleansers

Cream Cleansers

Cream cleansers are typically gentler than most other cleansers. They tend to have more lipids in them, which is a fancy way of saying fats and oils, and fewer ingredients that will strip your skin.

Try: Mad Hippie Cream Cleanser, Aveeno Calm + Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser, Byoma Creamy Jelly Cleanser, Cerave Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser, Cocokind Oil-to-Milk Cleanser, Honest Beauty Calm On Foaming Cream Cleanser, The Ordinary Glycolipid Cream Facial Cleanser

2. Cleansing Balms & Oils

Here I am, back on my soapbox. Cleansing balms, AKA cold creams, are great for windburn. They're highly emollient and put stuff back into your skin rather than taking it out. Cleansing oils are good too. You will have a residue. Just let your skin absorb it. Do not double cleanse.

Try: Bliss Mighty Biome Pre/Post Biotics Cleansing Balm, Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Oil, Byoma Melting Cleansing Balm, Cerave Makeup Remover Cleansing Balm, Good Molecules Instant Cleansing Balm, Mad Hippie Cleansing Oil

Essences

Avoid toners and astringents. Essences are okay.

What's the difference? Essences, as in K-beauty, add moisture to the skin. Toners pull out dirt and oils. You don't want that if you're dealing with windburn.

I'd avoid anything that says it will brighten, tone, or make your skin glow. If you've got windburn, your skin is pretty red, and you don't want to use any actives like Vitamin C that will make that worse.

Try: Fresh Rose Instant Hydration Mist, Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Essence, Heritage Store Rosewater Refreshing Facial Mist (not Rosewater Toner) or Rosewater & Glycerin Hydrating Facial Mist, La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water for Sensitive Skin Spray, Neogen Real Heartleaf Soothing Essence, Vichy Eau Thermale Mineralisante (Mineralizing Thermal Water) Spray

Serums

Stay with known hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, NMF, ceramides, etc. Focus on restoring skin barrier health.

Avoid brightening ingredients like Vitamin C, as these can cause increased redness and photosensitivity. Stay away from strong acids like AHAs and BHAs.

Try: Honest Beauty Stay Hydrated Hyaluronic Acid + NMF Serum, Byoma Hydrating Serum, Cocokind Ceramide Barrier Serum, Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum, The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid + B5 Serum

Moisturizers

As above, focus on products with ingredients known for capturing moisture and improving the skin barrier. These include things like hyaluronic acid, lipids (oils), NMF, ceramides, beta glucan, and Vitamin E. Probiotics might also help.

Avoid skin brighteners like Vitamin C, strong acids (AHAs & BHAs), etc.

Try: Bliss Mighty Biome Ultra-Concentrated Pre/Post Biotics Moisturizer, Honest Beauty Hydrogel Cream, The Ordinary NMF + HA Moisturizer, buttah. Oil Free Hyaluronic Gel Cream, CosRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream, Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream, Good Light Order of the Eclipse Hyaluronic Cream, Kopari Moisture Whipped Ceramide Cream, Pacifica Vegan Ceramide Barrier Face Cream and/or Lotion, The Ordinary NMF + PhytoCeramides Moisturizer, Sacheu We Occlusive Intense Overnight Moisturizer

Oils

Pretty much any oils you want to try on your skin will help. Oils are an important part of your skin routine, whether you're getting them from a cleanser or a cream, or adding them directly to your skin. I like to apply my cream moisturizer, then add a few drops of oil on top in the winter. It helps lock in moisture and creates another thin layer between your skin and the great outdoors.

The cool thing about oils is that you don't have to spend a lot of money on them if you don't want to. You can just go to your kitchen cabinet and see what's there.

From a previous post:

There are more common oils like coconut, olive, avocado, grapeseed, sunflower seed, sesame seed, and almond oils that you can literally buy at the grocery store. I did some research and chemically there’s no difference between what’s sold in a big bottle at the grocery store and what’s sold in tiny, more expensive bottles by wellness brands. You just want to make sure that whatever you’re purchasing is organic and does not have additives.  The oils that are a little less common, which you probably won’t be able to find in the grocery aisles, include: apricot, marula, rosehip, argan, chia seed, pumpkin seed, carrot seed, shea oil/butter, castor, evening primrose, squalane, jojoba, and acai. Pricing on these can be all over the place. Some are more common than others these days, like argan, rosehip, marula, etc. Others are going to be harder to find or just cost more to make, like evening primrose, chia seed, etc.  You should look up oils to use for your skin type, but here are a few articles to get you started.

You can even use vegetable shortening in a pinch, which typically has a soybean oil base. Lots of soy used in skincare, although if you've read my other posts, I'm pretty iffy on soybean oil these days. I'm currently using a mix of equal parts olive, avocado, and carrot seed oils.

If you'd prefer to purchase a special blend from a skincare company, that's totally valid too.

Try: Good Molecules Ultra-Hydrating Facial Oil, Byoma Hydrating Recovery Oil, Cocokind Chia Omega-3 Facial Oil, Honest Beauty Organic Beauty Facial Oil, Indeed Labs Squalane Facial Oil, The Ordinary "B" Oil, Well People Plant Elixir Replenishing Botanical Facial Oil

Oily to dry skincare tips

Properly washing your face is crucial for maintaining healthy skin, and it's important to adjust your routine based on your skin type. Here's a guide on how to wash your face if you have combination skin that tends to be oily in some areas and dry in others:

Morning Routine:

Use a Gentle Cleanser:

Start your day with a mild, hydrating cleanser. Look for a cleanser that is specifically formulated for combination skin. Avoid harsh or overly drying cleansers.

Avoid Hot Water:

Wash your face with lukewarm water instead of hot water. Hot water can strip away natural oils, leaving your skin more prone to dryness.

Pat Dry:

Gently pat your face dry with a clean, soft towel. Avoid rubbing, as this can irritate the skin.

Apply Toner (Optional):

If you like using toner, choose a gentle, alcohol-free toner. This can help balance your skin's pH levels.

Moisturize:

Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Look for a moisturizer that addresses both oily and dry areas.

Sunscreen:

Finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. This is essential to protect your skin from UV rays.

Evening Routine:

Remove Makeup:

If you wear makeup, start by using a gentle makeup remover or micellar water to remove any traces of makeup.

Cleansing:

Cleanse your face with the same mild cleanser you used in the morning. This helps to get rid of the day's impurities without over-drying.

Exfoliate (1-2 Times a Week):

Use a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells. Exfoliating can help prevent clogged pores and improve the absorption of skincare products. However, don't overdo it, as excessive exfoliation can irritate the skin.

Apply a Hydrating Mask (Optional):

Consider using a hydrating mask once or twice a week to boost moisture levels. Look for masks with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin.

Toner (Optional):

If you use toner, apply it after cleansing to balance your skin.

Night Moisturizer:

Use a slightly richer or more hydrating night cream or moisturizer to address any dry areas.

Eye Cream (Optional):

If you use eye cream, apply it to address specific concerns around the eyes, such as dryness or fine lines.

Remember to pay attention to how your skin responds to different products, and adjust your routine accordingly. Consistency is key, and if you have specific skincare concerns, it's always a good idea to consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice.
