skincare practices

skincare refers to the practice of maintaining and improving the health and appearance of your skin. this post is a guide on where to start!

having a routine (starting with simple practices)

cleanser: begin and end your day by washing your face with a gentle, sulphate-free cleanser. even if your skin feels clean, this step removes any impurities.

moisturizer: apply a fragrance-free moisturizer twice a day. hydration is crucial for maintaining a healthy skin barrier.

sunscreen: protect your skin from uv damage by using a mineral- or chemical-based sunscreen with at least spf 30. apply it in the morning.

skin types

there are 5 primary skin types, each with unique characteristics and needs.

normal skin is balanced and not too oily or dry. it's like the goldilocks of skin types! maintain it with a gentle routine. if your skin is generally normal, opt for a lotion. as you age, consider switching to a cream-based moisturizer for added hydration.

dry skin lacks hydration, feels tight, and may have flakiness. opt for richer moisturizers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides. for dry skin, skip lotions and go for creams or ointments. these provide more moisture and help preserve water in the skin.

oily skin produces excess oil, especially in the t-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). use lightweight, oil-free products and consider salicylic acid for acne-prone areas. if you’re prone to oiliness, choose a light gel-based moisturizer to avoid clogging pores.

combination skin is a mix of oily and dry areas. focus on balancing - light moisturizers for oily zones and richer ones for dry areas. treat your face as two zones. moisturize the dry areas and skip the oily ones. remember to look for spf 30 or higher for sun protection!

sensitive skin is prone to redness, irritation, and reaction. choose fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products and patch-test any new products.

common skincare mistakes

skipping sunscreen. sunscreen is non-negotiable! protect your skin from uv damage by using spf 30 or higher daily. if you live in a sunny environment, make sure to reapply before you go outside!

not cleansing before bed: properly cleanse your face before sleeping. it removes dirt, makeup, excess oil, and pollution remnants, preventing breakouts and maintaining healthy skin.

sleeping with makeup on. gross! no! remove your makeup before you go to bed to prevent clogged pores and skin irritation.

using too many products. overloading with products can overwhelm your skin, so learn how to simplify your routine. additionally, using products that are not right for your skin may have negative effects - creating more issues instead of solving them.

overusing acne products. be gentle with acne treatments. overuse can lead to dryness and irritation.

using harsh products. avoid aggressive ingredients that strip your skin. opt for gentle formulations.

remember - healthy skin starts with mindful habits.

Please if you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, or if you care about your LGBTQ+ moots or anything, be aware of the TWST Artist Midnightmah07...A few months ago she reposted posts about transphobia and LGBTphobia (screen under the line).

I don't know if she changed her mind since then, I don't want to spread hate, I just want to aware the LGBTQ+ TWST community :(

REMINDER THIS isn't about Christianity! I'm a believer myself, I'm not judging the whole Christian thingy, just the fact that she's homophobic (?) and don't even question it:( I want to protect you all!

According to moots, she liked other posts from this blog, and this isn't the first time she did that about the whole transphobia/LGBTphobia thing :(

Septembre is suicide prevention month so instead of thinking of reasons to kill yourself try to think of reasons to stay.

Come talk to me if you need help

Hoy es el día para prevenir el suicido, no es hay nada que celebrar, para los que padecemos trastorno mental de depresión crónica como en mi caso y que eh intentado varias veces este acto suicida, no me es grato decirlo, pero es una realidad, como sociedad se debe ampliar la información y erradicar la estigmatización en cuanto este importante tema de salud mental 🎗️

Así que por favor, en lugar de juzgar a alguien con depresión por pensar o que te haya hablado sobre planes suicidas, extiéndele la mano o llama a la línea de vida de tu país para que sea atendido 🙌🏻
