Skincare

Over the last few years it has become more important to take care of your face than to put makeup on. I changed from being a makeup-lover to a skincare-lover. I prefer to feel confident on my own skin than to have to put makeup on because i don’t.

There are Normal/perfect skins and then there’s mine. Greasy but dry,one week looking flawless and the other looking like a red dot. Whenever i have pimples i feel so worthless and ugly but that’s literally only me because i’ve seen people with acne and i couldn’t care less but you know body positivity until it’s yours 🙂

i’m gonna share with you the products that have had helped me with my bipolar skin. I want to start by saying that my favorite skincare brand is ‘good molecules’ which you will notice while you read this post.

Good molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

Hyaluronic acid is for hydrating your skin and to keep it nice and smooth. What i love about this product is that it feels fresh and not so heavy in comparison to the one from the ordinary which i feel is so heavy.

Good molecules Niacinamide serum.

Niacinamide is for spots on the skin and to keep it balanced. Meaning that if you have combination skin you should use this serum because it keeps the skin feeling “normal” and also helps with dark scaring.

Good molecules Yerba mate eye wakeup gel.

Now this,this is an AMAZING eye serum. Literally so soft and fresh on the skin. If you buy it try it cold. It feels so good around the eye and it leaves the area so soft. I love this product.

Cerave Eye repair cream.

I use this one every morning,it is so soft and it really wakes my eye up,besides i’ve been using it for 7 months now and i feel that my dark circles have disappeared a lot.

Good molecules overnight exfoliating treatment.

This one i use 3 times a week and i use it before anything else. I let it dry for about 3 minutes. It is so good.it has salicylic acid which is the ingredient that you should look for when you buy something for your acne.If you have sensitive skin use it only 1-2 times a week because it’s a really strong product. If you get irritated,don’t use it.

Good molecules BHA clarifying gel cream.

Now this is the real deal. For pimples it is amazing and it’s not even hard on the skin. I truly love this one because it helps me so much with those annoying pimples.

The ordinary vitamin C suspension.

Vitamin c is great and this one is the best that i’ve tried so far. Vitamin c is for wrinkles,aging lines and hyperpigmentation;so your skin can have a more even skin tone.DO NOT use vitamin C and Niacinamide together.Use one in the morning and the other one at night.

Cleen beauty face scrub.

This has to be my favorite scrub so far. It is so soft and so gentle on the skin it is incredible. This product always leaves my skin feeling so fresh and soft. I love it.

Cerave SA cleanser.

Really great and not so hard on the skin cleanser. I use it only once every day because salicylic acid can be really hard on the skin if you use it more than you should.

Earth to skin super greens cleanser.

This is truly one of my favorite cleansers. It is so soft and leaves the skin feeling so smooth and fresh. It is great for combination skin.

Good molecules squalane oil.

This is what i end my skincare routine wit. I have tried the one from the ordinary but i prefer this one because it’s more oily and the ordinary one is like more watery,this one is so much better and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy at all.

Cerave daily moisturizer lotion.

I haven’t found a better face moisturizer who leaves my skin feeling so smooth and also doesn’t leave it feeling greasy. Some days my face is so dry that i can’t even move it,i put this on and omg it is heaven.

The Ordinary peeling solution.

Now,you may be wondering. What is a peeling solution? what even is peeling? and i’ll answer your questions.

Dermatologically speaking. Peeling is used for aging wrinkles,expression lines and acne scars. It is one of the most used procedures in the world. Dermatologist use it profesionally but the ordinary created this *amazing* formula so you can do it at home.People tend to abuse with this formula and i’m going to tell you the correct way to use it. After all of my research about this product i finally learned how to use it. Before you apply it to your face for the first time you should apply it to your hand and leave it for 5 minutes and see if you hve an allergic reaction or not. After that you can put three to two drops on your fingers and apply it to your freshly washed and dry skin. Let it sink from 8 to 10 minutes.DO NOT leave it more than that. Retire with warm water. Never touch the eyes or the lips.I use it only once a week but you can use it max twice a week. This product it’s really hard on the skin so try not to abuse it.

You should be able to know how to use all of this products when you visit their website it tells you how to properly use each product. All of this products you should use with sunscreen because if not then you’re literally doing nothing. I didn’t recommend a sunscreen because i don’t really have a favorite yet. As long as it has zinc,a high SPF and doesn’t leave my face greasy,i’m good.

There are some of this products that i don’t use everyday simply because you can’t use them more than 1-3 days or you can’t use them together on the same routine. That’s why each day of the week my routine looks different and there’s AM routines and PM routines. My AM routine is really simple. Depending on where i’m going but i could just put on eye cream and SPF. PM routine’s are more complex,there should be more products and more organization. Your skincare routine should consist of at least 6 steps.

On Monday’s my PM routine is of 7 steps. On Tuesday’s,wednesday’s and Thursday’s 7 steps too but i change one product,on Friday,Saturday and Sunday it consists of 6 steps.

Tip:most of this products have a ‘dropper’ so you be careful with putting it directly to your face because believe it or not,your face has germs and it can damage the product,instead apply the drops to your fingers without touching your fingers of course.

I absolutely don’t have a perfect skin or anything but this products help me so much. I had acne once and it made me feel so awful and that’s when i discovered salicylic acid my true love. I am not a dermatologist or anything but i know my things. Always go to your dermatologist if you have any doubts about anything or do some research. My favorite skincare youtuber is ‘skincare by Hyram’ he is the sweetest and explains everything so good and clear,i watch his videos all the time.

Hope you like the products if you try them,do your skincare and always use SPF.

All the love <3.
