Salicylic Acid Uniqaya Foaming Face Wash
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That said, sensitive skin doesn't always have to avoid salicylic acid. The key is to use it correctly. Opt for products with a lower concentration of salicylic acid (around 0.5% to 2%) and start by using a Salicylic Acid Face Wash a few times a week. It's also important to pair it with a good moisturizer to help protect your skin's barrier.

KEEP YOUR DRY SKIN MOISTURIZED WITH DERMATOLOGICALLY TESTED SKINCARE PRODUCTS THIS WINTER SEASON!
During the winter season, dipping temperatures tend to make the air dry and rob your skin of its
natural oils. This makes your skin dry, flaky, and dull. Fortunately, you can manage your dry
skin condition with a proper skincare routine, which includes using skincare products that suit
your skin.

If you’re looking for a way to brighten, smooth, and protect your skin, you might want to consider adding a vitamin C serum to your skincare routine. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can help to fight free radicals, boost collagen production, and even out skin tone. However, not all vitamin C serums are created equal.

lets talk skincare⋆.ೃ࿔*:・🎀
Tumblr media
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 💕🗒️
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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)

Hair:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hair Care ❤︎︎
Wash Routines:
curly textured: wash and condition every 2-3 weeks, deep condition every 1-2 weeks
straight: wash and condition every 2-3 days, deep condition every 2-3 weeks
Styling ︎❤︎︎
Hair should have a style everyday! At home hairstyling is limitless and really depends on your taste and lifestyle. The everyday woman does her own her once every 1-4 weeks using natural hair products, heat, or other tools.
Professional Stylists:
hair is styled every 1-3 months: uses heat to straighten or curl, extensions to lengthen and add volume, shears to maintain/attain a shape and length
trim ends: every 6-8 weeks
hair color: touched up roughly every 6-8 weeks (depending on how fast your hair is growing and how fast your color will fade)
Silk Press:
after a clarifying wash and deep conditioning, natural hair is straightened using flat iron and/or pressing comb, then usually curled in feathers or pin curls to preserve the style
lasts 3-4 weeks depending on maintenance
preserved by wrapping hair at night, keep hands out of hair, and using a wide toothed comb only
can be further styled with different kind of rollers, or with pin curls
Braids:
afrocentric hairstyles typically done to protect hair while maintaining beauty
lasts 3-8 weeks
styles include knotless braids, faux locs, stitch braids, french braids, etc
Extensions:
hair added to natural hair to enhance length or volume
can be done at home with patience and proper materials
sew-in extensions: (my personal fav) 1-2 months
your natural hair gets braided down flush to your scalp and the bundles are sewn on by the wefts in a flat pattern typically with a section of hair left out to cover the wefts $100-600
microlinks: up to 4 months
i-tip extension is added to hair using micropliers, clippers and loop tool. takes far longer than most extension methods but looks the absolute most natural $500-1000
tape-in extensions: up to a year, touch ups every 4-6 weeks
medical grade tape is used to attach extensions to small sections of hair $200-400
clip-in extensions: 3-6 months
extensions are clipped on by the wefts. the hair itself can last up to six months, but it’s not recommended to sleep, shower, or swim with the extensions in $50-100
Natural Styles:
all last roughly 1-2 weeks at most. allowing hair to completely DRY is crucial for these styles. your natural hair can be further changed in styles like buns, puffs, etc once dry
natural hair essentials: scalp oil, leave in conditioner, detangling brush, wide tooth comb, curling cream, styling gel, edge control and edge brush
wash n’ go
wash and detangle, then use leave in conditioner to keep hair moist. oil on the scalp and ends is recommended for growth and healthy ends
bantu knots
a traditionally african style where the hair is cleanly sectioned (usually parted in a cute pattern) and twisted into knots. style can be worn just like this or taken down for curls
braid/twist out
a specific pattern of curls is achieved after hair is twisted or braided with curl preserving products. end result depends on how big your twists or braids are
roller set
hair is sprayed with water and curl cream applied before roller of your choice is added. hair is left to dry usually overnight for springy well formed curls
Brows and Lashes:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Brow Shaping ❤︎︎
in salon or at home
Waxing - every 3 weeks
Threading- every 2-3 weeks
Razor Shaping - weekly
Brow Enhancement ❤︎︎
Tinting - monthly
can be done at home or by pro in the salon
Microblading - every 1-3 years + annual touch ups, exclusively professional work
cosmetic tattooing using a manual tool with nearly invisible hair-like needles to inject pigment in brows to create your desired brow look
Lash Enhancements ❤︎︎
*done exclusively by professionals
Lifts - every 6 weeks
basically a perm for your lashes to curl them semi-permanently for lashes to appear longer
Lash Extensions - new set every 6-8 weeks, fill ins every 2-3 weeks depending on quality and style
false individual strands of lashes glued to natural lashes to create semi-permanent length and/or volume
lash baths: wet lashes and apply a small amount of gentle cleanser or a “lash bath” to lashes. cleanse lashes and eyelids for about 10 seconds. hold a towel under your eye and use a nozzle bottle to flush soap and bacteria from lashes then dry with a disposable lint free towel. finish by brushing your lashes with a spoolie. daily.
Lash Styles:
Classic: one lash on each fan, thin lashes
Volume: fluffier lashes with more lashes on each fan
Hybrid: uses classic and volume lashes to make an alternated look
Russian: volume lashes made with very thin individuals, 5-6 extensions per natural lash, fanned out look
DIY Lash Extensions - lasts about a week (sometimes longer)
lash fragments or individual wisps are glued either under the lashes or on the lash line. KISS Falscara is a product that makes this concept simple and easy
Nails:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
all these services can be done at home with the proper materials and KNOWLEDGE
Classic Manicure ❤︎︎
every 1-2 weeks
nail service that consists of soaking hands in warm soapy water then drying them. nails are trimmed, filed, and buffed. cuticles are pushed back before applying nail polish (base coat, color, top coat), then finally cuticle oil is applied.
nails can be enhanced with rhinestones, glitter, or charms and attached with uv gel or nail glue
my fav styles are pink, cream, white, black and any french tip using those colors
Pedicure ❤︎︎
every 2-4 weeks
sister to the classic manicure, but can be upgraded depending on materials. steps are similar to manicure, except feet are scrubbed and exfoliated before feet are washed and dried to apply nail color
regular polish, acrylic, or gel can be used on toenails
Gel or Shellac Mani ❤︎︎
every 2-3 weeks
same process as the classic manicure, but traditional nail polish is replaced with uv base coat, gel or CND Shellac polish, then uv top coat that’s cured in a UV or LED lamp
longer lasting and more strong/3d than classic mani and is typically removed by soaking in acetone
Apres Gel-X Nails ❤︎︎
every 2-3 weeks
my personal fav at home nails using the artme yoko matsuda nails. after doing a classic mani sans polish, you apply a dehydrator and primer to prep nail for gel. then you apply builder gel to your natural nail and cure. then you apply that same builder to the nail extension after etching it using an electric drill or acetone. marry the gel to your nail and cure. then just shape to your liking and top with uv top coat. tutorial here
Acrylic Nails ❤︎︎
every 2-3 weeks, nails are fully grown out after 6 weeks
manicure done with liquid monomer and acrylic powder to build and extend natural nail, then polished with color or just a top coat if desired
Russian Mani ❤︎︎
every 4-5 weeks
essentially a gel manicure, but more invasive. the eponychium is snipped away so polish can be applied more closely and flush to the cuticle. this aids in visuals and longevity
service is seen as risky because the skin is more susceptible to fungal or bacterial infection. this is actually how i do my nails at home.
Body:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bathing ❤︎︎
2x daily
self explanatory, we all know how to bathe. i have other posts that talk about my shower and bath routines.
use a gentle cleanser then a scented body wash to complement perfume and smell fresh all day.
if needed, you can use body soaps with actives like aha, bha or retinol to exfoliate or treat skin at night
exfoliation - 2-3x/week. using scrubs, loofahs, bath brushes, etc.
Hair Removal ❤︎︎
shaving - 2-3x/week
waxing - every 3-5 weeks
sugaring - monthly
ipl device - a device that uses light therapy to slowly destroy hair follicles and unwanted pigment in skin. i use mine after every 5-6 shaves but i could really use it more often.
Vajacial ❤︎︎
1-2x/month
a “facial” for your lady area
the esthetician will first wax, then cleanse and apply an enzyme exfoliant. then they extract any blackheads or ingrown hairs from the area before applying a soothing mask usually in the jelly form.
Moisture and Hydration ❤︎︎
body cream or lotion - daily right after bathing to hydrate skin
body oil - daily to seal in moisture and protect skin from debris and dryness
masks - weekly to address particular skin concerns
ex. when i was having eczema flare ups on my back, i used a dead sea mud mask every 1-2 weeks to help treat it
done at home or at spa
glycolic, clay, mud, salicylic, etc.
Enhancement Procedures:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the goal is to look younger and balance facial features. all these services are exclusively done by professionals usually in a medspa and are widely considered luxury.
Botox ❤︎︎
every 6-8 months; between brows, smile lines, outer corners of eyes, etc
discourages muscle movement to reduce wrinkles
Lifts ❤︎︎
lasts about 10 years; face, neck, brow, eyelids
skin is lifted to desired look, then excess skin is removed
Fillers ︎❤︎︎
every 6-12 months; under-eye, lips, jawline, wrinkle sites, cheekbones
injects acids (usually naturally occurring) like Hyaluronic Acid and Calcium Hydroxylapatite to add volume to your face
Body Contouring ❤︎︎
every 2-4 months until desired results are achieved
non invasive liposuction to achieve desired physique
CoolSculpting - cryolipolysis freezes fat cells for the body to the metabolize and and remove them
SculpSure - essentially the same as CoolSculpting, but uses heat and laser technology to destroy fat cells
Laser Hair Removal ❤︎︎
every 5-6 weeks; bikini, underarms, legs, arms
touch ups done every 1-2 years
hair growth is inhibited by exposing follicles to light at frequencies that kill them
Building the Regimen 🗒️💕:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
when making appointments with your “glam squad” you can stagger your services by week depending on what’s being done. for example you can get your mani and pedi done one week. then your facials, brows and lashes another week.
Things to Keep in Mind 💭💞:
these frequencies won’t be the same for everyone depending on personal wants, budgets, etc. but will most likely land somewhere in the ranges i gave. if you need touch ups or redos any sooner than i mapped out, then the service most likely was of poor quality.
anything done at home may or may not be up to the level of detail and longevity as salon or spa work. if you see yourself doing the majority of your beauty maintenance at home, this can save money but may end up taking more time than professional services. so it’s a give and take.

🧾- hi pooks how are uuu I hope u finne
How to build a skincare routine ㅤ۪ㅤ۫ ꪆ୧ㅤ🧁ㅤ۫ ♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Morning Routine: for All Skin Types
1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser that clears away overnight buildup without stripping your skin.
Oily skin? Use a gel-based cleanser.
Dry or sensitive skin? Opt for a hydrating cleanser.
1. CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
Skin Type: Dry, normal, sensitive
2. CeraVe Foaming Cleanser
Skin Type: Oily, combination, acne-prone
3. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Cleanser
Skin Type: All skin types, sensitive
2. Rice Water Boost: Here’s the secret that works for everyone. No toner ? After cleansing, apply rice water using a cotton pad or gently pat it onto your skin. It brightens, soothes, and balances your skin naturally. (Make rice water by soaking rice in water for 20 minutes, then straining and refrigerating it.)
3. Moisturize: Hydration is key! Choose a lightweight moisturizer for oily skin and a richer one for dry skin. Combination or sensitive skin? Stick to non-comedogenic and fragrance-free formulas.
For Dry Skin
1. Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream
Deeply hydrating with ceramides and urea.
2. Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream
Nourishes very dry skin with botanical extracts.
For Oily Skin
1. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
Lightweight, oil-free, and hydrates without clogging pores.
2. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Moisturizer
Controls shine and minimizes pores.
For Combination Skin
1. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel
Balances oil and hydration levels.
2. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream
Lightweight but hydrating for dry patches.
For Sensitive Skin
1. Avene Skin Recovery Cream
Calms irritation and strengthens the skin barrier.
2. Cetaphil Daily Hydrating Lotion
Gentle and non-irritating with hyaluronic acid.
For Acne-Prone Skin
1. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Matte Moisturizer
Non-comedogenic and soothes irritated skin.
2. Vanicream Moisturizing Lotion
Free from common irritants and ideal for breakout-prone skin.
4. Sunscreen: Finish your routine with SPF 30 or higher, even if you’re staying indoors. Sunscreen protects your skin from UV damage and prevents premature aging—an absolute must for everyone!
Night Routine: Restore & Repair
1. Double Cleanse: If you wear sunscreen or makeup, start with micellar water or an oil-based cleanser, followed by your regular face wash.
2. Rice Water (Again!): Use rice water as a natural toner to calm your skin and prep it for the night. It’s a multitasking hero that helps reduce redness, minimize pores, and add a glow.
3. Targeted Treatments:
Acne-prone? Apply a salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide spot treatment.
Dull skin? Try a niacinamide serum for even tone and radiance.
Dry skin? Opt for a hyaluronic acid serum to lock in moisture.
4. Moisturize: Seal everything in with your favorite moisturizer. At night, you can go for a slightly heavier one to aid your skin’s repair process.
Weekly Extras for Radiance
Exfoliate: Once or twice a week, use a gentle chemical exfoliant (like AHAs or BHAs) to remove dead skin cells. DIY trick: Mix honey and sugar for a natural exfoliating scrub.
Face Masks: Hydrate with aloe vera . You can also use sheet masks chilled in the fridge for a refreshing treat.
Steam and Detox: Once a week, steam your face for a few minutes to open up pores and deep-clean. Follow with a clay mask if you have oily skin or a soothing mask if your skin is sensitive.
Secret Skincare Habits for All Skin Types
2. Cold Spoon Hack: Struggling with puffy eyes? Chill a spoon and press it gently under your eyes for an instant de-puffing effect.
3. Jade Roller Magic: A jade roller or gua sha tool works for all skin types. Massage your face daily to improve circulation and reduce puffiness.
4. Silk Pillowcase: Sleep on silk pillowcases—they’re gentle on your skin, reduce friction, and keep your hair and face smooth.
5. Hydration Inside Out: Drink plenty of water and eat skin-friendly foods like avocados, nuts, and fruits. Your skin reflects what you put into your body!
and there is a LOT of skincare tips I will try to make other blogs Abt it soon. !!

Why is a Foaming Face Wash Better than a Cleanser?
Tumblr media
When it comes to choosing between a salicylic acid foaming face wash and a regular cleanser, many people prefer the bubbly goodness of a foaming face wash. But why is that? Let’s dive into what makes foaming face washes a popular choice for skincare routines.
First off, foaming face washes create a rich lather that feels refreshing on your skin. This foamy texture can make the cleansing process more enjoyable, giving you that "squeaky clean" feeling without being harsh. The bubbles help lift away dirt, oil, and impurities from your pores, making your skin feel thoroughly clean and revitalized.
A foaming face wash with vitamin c is especially great for oily or combination skin types. They’re effective at removing excess oil and controlling shine, which can help prevent breakouts and keep your complexion looking clear. Unlike some cream cleansers, which can leave a residue, foaming face washes rinse off easily, leaving your skin feeling fresh and light.
Moreover, foaming face washes often come with added ingredients like salicylic acid face wash or tea tree oil, which can target specific skin concerns like acne or inflammation. This makes them versatile and beneficial for those who need extra care for their skin.
In short, if you’re looking for a cleanser that leaves your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and balanced, a foaming face wash might just be the perfect choice for you!

nurturing my natural self (part 3)
Disclaimer: I made this, like all my other posts, for myself, but if you are reading this, I'm not a doctor, and this is basic researched knowledge. If you realize that you need help, please seek a doctor!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A Clean Slate
Everyone's skin is different, reflecting my unique experiences and heritage. It possesses its own characteristics, needs, and inherent beauty. By recognizing and celebrating these differences, I can tailor my skincare routine to enhance my natural beauty and promote healthy skin. "My Skin is Different: A Canvas for Personal Expression." Just as artists employ various techniques to showcase their unique styles, I can use skincare to express my identity. Caring for my skin is not solely about aesthetics; it’s about honoring and showcasing my true self. The textures, scents, and ingredients blend together harmoniously, creating a symphony of care that celebrates individuality. By viewing my skincare regimen through this artistic lens, I invite creativity into my self-care practices, fostering a deeper connection with my skin as it flourishes into its most radiant self.
Ingredients: There are plenty of ingredients out there that can boost skin health, both natural and chemical. Natural options like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and chamomile are great for hydration and soothing irritation. On the flip side, chemical ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and salicylic acid can brighten the skin and help with acne. Just keep in mind that “natural” doesn’t always mean “better.” It’s all about finding what works best for you and your skin. What helps Kayla might not do the same for Kiara!
- Niacinamide: Reduces redness, brightens skin, minimizes pores, and strengthens the skin barrier.
- Aloe Vera: Soothes sunburn and hydrates the skin.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates, plumps fine lines, and improves elasticity.
- Glycerin: Attracts moisture and enhances skin texture.
- Lactic Acid: Gently exfoliates and brightens dull skin.
- Ceramides: Restores the skin barrier and retains moisture.
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Hydrates and promotes skin healing.
- Chamomile Extract: Calms inflammation and soothes sensitive skin.
- Green Tea Extract: Contains antioxidants and reduces inflammation.
- Squalane: Provides lightweight hydration and balances oil (the hydrogenated version of squalene, which is found naturally in our bodies and unfortunately oxides quickly, which makes it more stable and gives it a longer shelf life).
- Zinc Oxide: Offers sun protection and soothes irritation, treat itching, skin infections, chapped skin, and skin conditions.
- Retinol: Stimulates collagen, reduces wrinkles, and treats acne.
- Adapalene: Prevents clogged pores and reduces acne lesions.
- Tretinoin (Retin-A): Targets anti-aging, acne, and improves skin tone.
- Vitamin C: Brightens the skin, antioxidant protection, stimulates collagen synthesis, improves skin firmness and reduces wrinkles, reduces inflammation.
- Glycolic Acid: Gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover, improves texture, brightens dull skin, unclogs pores and can help reduce acne breakouts.
- Benzoyl Peroxide: helps clear acne by killing acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and gently exfoliating the skin to prevent clogged pores, making it a highly effective treatment for mild to moderate breakouts. Please note: there's been some concern over trace amounts of benzene (a carcinogen) in some over-the-counter products. However, benzoyl peroxide itself is not inherently linked to benzene contamination. It’s a good idea to choose reputable products to minimize risk. for that reason, i wasn't going to include this in the list but i do feel it necessary to inform anyone who uses these products that may be reading this.
BUTTTT you don't need a ten-step routine to achieve great skin. these are just product ideas for specific targets & remember to always patch test and find what works for you.
Lifestyle Changes: Adjustments in diet, hydration, and stress management that can positively impact skin health.
Professional Treatments: Procedures performed by dermatologists or estheticians, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments.
Over-the-Counter Solutions: Products available without a prescription that target specific skin concerns (e.g., anti-acne creams, moisturizers for dryness).
Holistic Approaches: Methods that focus on the whole body and mind, such as yoga, meditation, and herbal supplements.

Nail care
all about keeping things simple and healthy. Regularly trimming your nails, filing them, and moisturizing them with natural oils like jojoba or almond helps prevent breakage and keeps them looking neat. Keeping them trimmed also prevents snagging, while moisturizing makes them stronger and less prone to splitting. It's an easy way to have strong, healthy nails without relying on harsh products.

Body care
Your body needs just as much love as your face when it comes to skincare. Exfoliating, moisturizing, and protecting it from the sun is key. Like your face, the rest of your skin needs regular cleansing to get rid of dirt and oil, exfoliation to smooth things out, and hydration to stay soft. Don’t forget the SPF on areas like your arms and legs to keep them safe from sun damage, which can lead to premature aging and uneven skin tone. I usually follow up with some perfume/body spray/scented body oil.
During hot days
Apply antiperspirant in the morning, and wipe off existing deodorant before reapplying throughout the day to prevent buildup and ensure better adherence. Carry travel-size wipes or body sprays to freshen up, especially if you can’t shower. Additionally, choose lightweight, loose-fitting, and breathable fabrics like cotton to help wick away sweat and allow for better air circulation.

Feminine Care
Many feminine washes and vaginal deodorants are advertised as must-haves, but most gynecologists say they're not necessary and can actually do more harm than good. These products can throw off your vagina's natural pH balance, leading to issues like irritation, dryness, and even infections. Instead of those products, just stick to a good, sensitive skin, unscented antibacterial soap for cleaning the vulva. That’s all you really need to keep things fresh without messing with your body's natural balance. Additionally, opt for breathable cotton underwear, steer clear of douching, and consult with your gynecologist if you have specific concerns or experience unusual symptoms.

Oral Care
For mouth care, in addition to regular brushing and flossing, there are a few other practices that can help maintain oral hygiene.
- Oil pulling: swishing oil (typically coconut oil) around your mouth for 10-20 minutes. Benefits: Thought to help remove toxins, reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth, and freshen breath. It may also support gum health and reduce plaque buildup. it contains the bacteria pulled from your mouth so rinse mouth and brush teeth after after. Do not swallow.
- Tongue Scraping: a tool used to scrape your tongue to remove bacteria, food particles, and dead cells. helps prevent bad breath and supports overall oral hygiene. It can also enhance your sense of taste. use a tongue scraper (or the edge of a spoon) to gently scrape from the back to the front of your tongue.
- Hydration: Drinking plenty of water throughout the day bc water helps wash away food particles and bacteria in your mouth, and it keeps your mouth hydrated, which prevents dry mouth, a condition that can lead to bad breath and an increased risk of cavities.
- Fluoride Mouthwash: mouth rinse that contains fluoride, which strengthens enamel, helps prevent cavities, and freshens breath. using it after brushing and flossing adds an extra layer of protection against decay.
- Baking Soda: natural mild abrasive that helps whiten teeth, neutralizes acids in the mouth, and removes surface stains. Some people use it as a toothpaste substitute or mix it with their regular toothpaste. mix a small amount of baking soda with water to form a paste and brush with it, or add it to your regular toothpaste.
- Whitening Strips: thin, flexible strips coated with a whitening gel containing peroxide that helps lighten the color of teeth by breaking down stains. to us it, follow the instructions on the package for use. overuse can lead to sensitivity, so use sparingly.
- Dietary Choices: eating a diet low in sugar and acidic foods reduces the risk of cavities and enamel erosion. foods like crunchy vegetables (carrots, celery) help clean your teeth as you chew.
- Regular Dental Visits: see your dentist for cleanings and check-ups at least twice a year. professional cleanings remove tartar and plaque buildup that regular brushing and flossing might miss. dentists can also spot and treat potential issues early, such as cavities or gum disease.
- Probiotics: beneficial bacteria that can support your overall and oral health that may help balance the bacteria in your mouth, supporting gum health and reducing bad breath. consider taking oral probiotics or including fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, or sauerkraut in your diet.
Other Essential Tools for a Complete Oral Care Routine:
Soft-Bristled Toothbrush: Gentle on gums while still effective at cleaning.
Electric Toothbrush: More efficient at removing plaque than manual brushing.
Floss: Helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth.
Water Flosser: Uses a stream of water to clean between teeth and under the gumline—especially great for people with braces or tight spaces.

Ear Care
To care for your ears, gently clean the outer ear with a soft cloth or cotton swab, but avoid inserting anything into the ear canal. Your ears usually self-clean, so routine cleaning isn't necessary unless you notice blockage or discomfort, in which case consult a professional. Protect your hearing by limiting exposure to loud sounds and using ear protection in noisy environments. After swimming or showering, dry your ears thoroughly to prevent infections like swimmer's ear. Avoid invasive practices like ear candling, and if using over-the-counter ear drops, follow instructions carefully. Lastly, go to the doctor if you experience pain, hearing loss, or dizziness, seek medical advice and consider regular hearing assessments to detect any changes early.

Routines
Face : A basic routine includes: cleansing + toning (optional) + moisture + SPF. i do skin masks at night of the beginning and end of every week, not forgetting to give my skin a break at least one day a week. I have oily skin so I start with cleansing to remove dirt and impurities. I follow up with exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells and reveal a brighter complexion if exfoliating is needed. After that, I apply a good moisturizer to hydrate and keep your skin supple. Finally, don't forget sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage. At night, i cleanse my skin with the same cleanser (La Roche Posay Toleriane foaming face wash), I use The Ordinary's salicylic acid/The Ordinary glycolic acid (each at least once a week), then I moisturize with La Roche Posay Toleriane matte facial moisturizer, and finally my La Roche Posay Anthelios melt in milk SPF 60. I plan to add niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to my routine, buy one of those vibrating exfoliators, buy more sheet masks, try more diy masks & find a vitamin c that won't oxidize as quickly as others. These steps work together to keep my skin healthy and radiant.
- Body : I have dry skin. shower with sensitive skin, antibacterial soap, Dove or Simple. Then if i exfoliate that day (exfoliate 2-3 times a week), I use either dry brush before my bath or i use exfoliating gloves with my body wash, which is usually either Dove or Olay. I heard good things about african net cloths so i definitely plan to buy a few of those. Then I rinse and use Palmer's cocoa butter +vitamin e butter, then their vitamin e oil on top. and then my sunscreen. I also wanna try glycerin.
- Feminine : Use a gentle, unscented antibacterial soap to clean the external area (vulva). Avoid harsh soaps and douching. Exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and prevent bumps. Use a gentle scrub once a week, being careful to avoid the opening and any sensitive areas. After cleansing and exfoliating, apply a gentle moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. Look for products that are fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin. Avoid irritable ingredients and ALWAYS PATCH TEST.
- Oral : Start your morning routine by flossing to remove debris and plaque from between your teeth, followed by brushing with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes using a soft-bristled or electric toothbrush. Rinse with fluoride mouthwash to protect your enamel and keep your breath fresh. After meals, rinse your mouth with water to clear any leftover food particles. In the evening, consider oil pulling with coconut oil for 10-20 minutes before brushing again with fluoride toothpaste. Use a tongue scraper to reduce bacteria on your tongue, and finish with a fluoride mouthwash to protect your teeth overnight. Weekly, you can use baking soda or whitening strips sparingly to brighten your smile. Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet, while regular dental check-ups are essential to keep your teeth in top shape.

Can you share your skincare routine 👀
Tumblr media
I wash my face EVERY single morning + night NO MATTER WHAT. Make up or no make up. Left my house or didn’t leave my house. No exceptions!!!!!!!!!
Then I use toner (with a cotton pad) (morning + night)
Then I use a serum (morning + night. (sometimes I use a retinoid at night instead! I try to do that 2-3x a week)
Then I use a moisturizer (morning + night)
I try to remember to use sunscreen on my face I forget a LOT 😅 (but when I remember I like the hero force shield one! I also liked the supergoop one but I feel like it makes me super shiny).
You really have to find what products work for you and sometimes you’ll see products that worked for a long time no longer do. For example, I used to swear by acure but one of their products (serum) made my face burn/turn red so now I don’t really use it! (I do like the acure retinoid - it’s called radically rejuvenating retinoid overnight complex). I have a few brands I really love and I tend to cycle through them (also I like to catch when they are on sale or snatch up at Marshall’s when I find them!)
Right now I am using:
Face wash: neutrogena grapefruit - I’ve been using this since I was like 12 😂 has never steered me wrong!!!
Toner: bliss clear genius clarifying toner + serum
Serum: elf SKIN holy hydration triple bounce serum
Moisturizer: bliss drench & quench hyaluronic acid moisturizer (this is MY FAVORITE PRODUCT OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!)
Other products I have used and loved:
- Elf keep your balance toner
- Elf supertone toner (I don’t think they make it anymore 😭 but I found a bottle at Marshall’s recently and I can’t wait to open it when I’m done with my current toner!!!)
- Elf all the feels facial oil (can’t find this one anywhere either 😭)
- Hero force shield superfuel serum stick
- Acure face brightening vitamin C serum (this is the one that made my face burn but I used to love it)
- Acure brightening day cream
- Acure radically rejuvenating night cream and serum
Again - these are all things that I have loved and have worked for ME!! The only way to know is to just play around and experiment! What works for me might not work for you. Also you don’t have to spend a lot of money. Elf is cheap and a great product. And I know there are many other cheaper brands people swear by! I just personally do not mind spending a little extra (though I do like finding things on sale or at Marshall’s) because I LOVE all things skincare.
I also try to use the Clinique under eye serum stick (I keep it in the fridge). Tbh my mom buys it for me so I don’t know the cost 😂
