HOW I PROPERLY WASH MY FACE TO ACHIEVE CLEAR SKIN

: ̗̀➛As someone who wears make up and spends my time to create a look, I also spend my time to clean and undo my face and skin. DOUBLE CLEANSING has been part and probably the reason why it helped me so much with achieving a clear skin and I rarely break out too nowadays. Here are my steps on how I properly wash my face to achieve that clear skin.

✎STEPS 1 and 2: Prep before cleansing ✎STEPS 3, 4, 5, and 6: Meticulous process to remove make (eyes and especially lashes) ✎STEPS 7, 8, and 9: Cleansing the face with cleansing balm ✎STEPS 10, 11, and 12: Proper way of cleansing face with cleanser

༊*·˚Products that I used: Cleansing balm: I either use the Banila Co Zero Cleansing Balm or the Heimish All Clean Balm Micellar Water: Garnier Skin Active Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Cleanser & Makeup Remover Cleansing foam: Senka Perfect Whip Moist Cleansing Foam (my personal holy grail)

1.Before anything else, I always wash my hands first with a hand soap. The first thing that comes contact to your skin is your hands and finger tips so it's best to always wash your hands first before you do your cleansing routine. 2. I use a headband and tie my hair into a bun so it doesn't get in the way with washing my face. 3. Using my cleansing balm, I scoop out a fair amount and start warming it up with my fingers for it to melt. I apply the melted balm to my eyes first to remove the eye make up. ╰┈➤I always always prioritize my lashes and I use my ring finger to clean my lashes to clean off the mascara. I take my time to clean my lashes until the mascara is off or any of the make up residue. 4. Once I'm done, I use a cotton pad to gently wipe of the remaining balm and residue 5. I use a q tip and wet it with a micellar water to remove any of the oil residue from the lash I use the other side of the q tip (the dry side) to clean my tear duct. 6. Once I'm done with the other eye, I do the steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 to the other eye before I proceed with double cleansing my face. 7. I use the same cleansing balm and scoop another amount and warm it up until it's melted and start to apply it all over my face. ╰┈➤Cheeks╰┈➤Forehead╰┈➤Chin These are the areas that my skin gets very congested when I apply make up so I always take my time and focus these areas by cleansing it off to get rid of dirt and any residue. 8. Before I wipe off my face, I let the balm stay for a minute before wiping it off with a clean and dry cotton pad AWAY FROM THE FACE (wiping it outwards the face)

9. Now this step, I wet my face before using a foam cleanser and squeezing enough amount unto my middle finger. 10. I emulsify my cleanser by adding a bit of water until it gets into a foamy like texture and applying to my wet face and gently washing my face. ╰┈➤Don't scrub and harshly wash it because it causes abrasions to your skin. ╰┈➤Wash your face for a minute 11. Rinse thoroughly and pat your face with a clean towel.

As someone with sensitive and dry skin, this summer is only getting hotter and as someone who lives in a hot and humid country, I took my skin care to a new level for it to adapt to this environment! .ೃ࿐ Skin Type: Sensitive Skin (face) Dry and Sensitive Skin (body) LONG READ AHEAD! 🍯🩰🧸🪡

୨⎯ MORNING ROUTINE ⎯୧(DURING BATH) 🛁🫧🌅 -Before anything else, I cleanse my skin with an anti bacterial soap. ↳Product that I used is a local antibacterial soap (Safe guard). You can use anything as long as it gets rid of the build up first.

-I use a body scrub only twice a week (Wednesday and Sunday) to get ride of the clogged dirt in my pores and remove the dead skin cells and product build up and overall just leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean and improve my skin texture. ↳Product that I used is Dr. Teal's Epsom Salt and Body Scrub/ Human Nature Volcanic Cooling Body Scrub

-I never forget my shower gel and I always love how affordable and gourmand this smell is! ↳Product that I used is Bath and Body Works Strawberry Pound Cake Moisturizing Body Wash

-Next up is lotion. As someone who has scars on my legs growing up from bites and battle scars (me tripping and falling and scarring my legs) it has hindered me. Hydration and proper knowledge with ingredients that can help scars fade is a must. I believe Niacinamide and Vit. C has great contribution with lightening those scars.↳Product that I used is Avon's Green Papaya and Calamansi Lotion/ Vaseline UV Extra Brightening Nourishing Niacinamide Lotion

-Can't forget about my fragrance. I alternate gourmand and flowery and powdery scents. I mostly use fragrance mists! ↳Product that I used is Fairytale by BnBW, JOY by BnBW, Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte by BnBW. I use a oil-based perfume its Cassiopeia and I love it so much! ୨⎯ MORNING ROUTINE ⎯୧(FACE SKIN CARE ROUTINE) -I usually do not wash my face with cleanser but I only wash it with water. (Ik this is controversial but this has been my routine since I was still a teenager.)

-I use an ice cube that I froze over night to depuff my eyes (eyes only!)

-I apply my moisturizer. This moisturizer really hydrated my skin especially this summer. It has a lot ingredients that can help you with hydration and at the same time making your skin youthful and glowing! It is lightweight and just perfect for this summer!↳Product that I used is Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream -I apply my sunscreen. Genuinely love this sunscreen, the only sunscreen that didn't make me breakout! Never ever forget sunscreen! ↳Product that I used is Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50+ PA++++

-Next is my face mist/facial spray. Gotta keep the skin hydrated and fresh! ↳Product that I used is Evian Brumisateur Natural Mineral Water Facial Spray.

I always keep my morning routine simple since it's hot and humid here. I also bring with me a bottle of water and keep aware of what I eat and avoid eating foods that are oily and cause allergic reactions to my skin. ༉‧₊˚.

୨⎯ EVENING ROUTINE ⎯୧ (DURING BATH) 🛁🫧🌆 -Still the same from above! I just do not overdo my scrubbing part and keep my skin hydrated! -୨⎯ EVENING ROUTINE ⎯୧(AFTER BATH/SKIN CARE FOR FACE) -Double cleansing your skin is that it removes the make up/sunscreen as well as remove those dirt that has built up through out the day. It also helps with absorption of your serums and other moisturizing products.↳Product that I used is Banila Clean it Zero cleansing Balm and Senka Perfect whip for cleansing foam

-I cannot forget my serum! Gotta love how lightweight this is and how it brightened up my dark spots! It has 5% niacinamide and love how this niacinamide worked and saved my skin.↳Product that I used is Axis Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum

-Another serum that I cannot gate keep is this local brand/product in my country! It's Cica Skin Repair Serum Soothing Gel from Ever Organics. You can find any alternative skin care serums/gels that has cica as I swear that this ingredient has helped me with my reddish spots and helped me stop my break out! I genuinely love love this product.

-For spot treatment, I use this only when I have breakouts (I rarely have breakouts nowadays, probably during period days only!) ↳Product that I used Face Republic Calming Spot Oint Gel (I only bought the sachet one)

I think it's essential for us to take care of our body, not just our skin. Our body is our temple and we must good care of it. It's never too late to start and take care of your body. Take care of yourself not to impress others but as a form of self love. I think we should remember and remind ourselves to love and appreciate ourselves. ₍ ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ₎˚୨୧

I hope this post has reached all of you needing inspos or don't know where to begin. I'm still a growing account after all! But I'd like to share with you all what has helped me. Can't wait to have moots too! 🎀🩰🪡
