Basic Skincare Routines & the vitamins it needs~~~

yer, yer.... nak posting pasal kecantikan, tp diri sendiri takde laa cantik mane pun... kuang kuang kuang... tp bg tea "Beauty is an effort", so, untuk nampak cantik, tak apa kita berusaha, selagi cara itu halal & dibenarkan.. :) biar laa orang nak kata kita maintenance tinggi ke ape... yang penting, kita tau kita lambat kedut banding ngn orang yang too ego untuk mengaku/berusaha untuk maintain cantik...

apakah bahan2 yang basic kita perlukan untuk daily skincare kita??? kadang2 cam rimas gak kan nak tempek sampai 7,8 jenis product every morning & evening... tak campur lagi dengan mask yang kena pakai every alternate day or seminggu sekali... bagi tea, there are 5/6 steps that is essential for your skincare routine:-

 # 1 Cleanser - ada 2 main choices, either cream cleanser or foaming cleanser... tea pakai cream cleanser, sbb foaming cleanser akan buat kulit tea area hidung cam gelupas2... maklumlaaa, kulit dah agak matang... so, bila switch to cream cleanser, the problem is solved!!! tp untuk oily skin, it's better to use foaming cleanser.

 # 2  Toner - remove traces of impurities & instant hydration after cleansing. yang SK-2 ni tea tak pakai, tp tea taruk gamba kat sini sbb ingredients dia bagus, cuma yang tak best dengan toner ni ialah harga dia... it's very unreasonable in my opinion...

 # 3  Exfoliant - sun exposure, oily skin menyebabkan kulit kita menebal & banyak dead skin cells yang tak shed-off... so, you need this exfoliation; typically AHA or BHA... AHA is glycolic acid, BHA is salicylic acid... tea ada beli cleanser yang dah ada AHA/BHA terus. it's more convenient & i can skip this step... kadang2 baru tea scrub muka pakai serbuk beras, tp takleh kerap sangat, just 2-3 times a week kalo nak scrub muka ekk.... skang ni tea gigih perabiskan stok dermalogica toner sbb tea nak switch to Clinique Mild Clarifying Lotion.. dia ni 2-in-1.. can be both exfoliation & toning your skin.. jimat duit i.. kihkihkih....

 # 4  Serum / targeted treatment - depends what u really need, either for acne treatment, whitening, anti-ageing, or jenis all-in-one... there are sooo many good serums out there... currently tea pakai Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair since last year, untuk anti-aging tp suprisingly, side effect pakai serum nie, jerawat2 dah segan nak naik kat muka... love it!!! siang tea pakai olay's regenerist serum (beli time sale, RM 35 aje sebotol... nak tau kenapa? wait for my review in my future posts~~!!

 # 5  Moisturizer - the basic 3 group of ingredients yang MESTI ADA dalam moisturizer is the anti-oxidants, skin-repairing substances & also skin communicating ingredients... okay, you must've noticed that i use olay products, sbb bg tea, product from olay ni sangat sesuai dengan kulit tea, it's full-packed with beneficial ingredients (anti-oxidants, skin communicating ingredients & skin repair ingredients) with a cheap price tags!!! 

 # 6 SPF - yang ni paling utamaaaa!!!!! the main cause of signs of skin-aging, pigmentation & wrinkles are the UV rays!!! so, bg pendapat tea, u need at least SPF30 untuk pakai everyday & mesti topup time lunch hour, especially bila kita basuh muka untuk ambil wudhu'.... kat bawah ni contoh2 SPF yang bagus & tea recommend pakai.. if you're dry or normal skin, boley try Olay's UV blocker... sbb SPF ni ada avobenzone dengan banyakkkk anti-oxidants & skin communicating ingredients, kenapa utk dry/ normal skin aje? yes, it's because of avobenzone which tends to make your skin a little bit oily, tp kalo anda ada kulit kering atau normal, mmg bole pakai sunblock ni... untuk yang kulit berminyak, boley try skin aqua by Sunplay pulak, they both have SPF50, tp sunplay ni guna ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate instead of avobenzone dalam olay tadi... ingredient ni bagus & tak menyebabkan kulit berminyak... mana satu pilihan hati? tepuk pipi tanya poket.. hehehhehe

okay, setakat ni dulu coretan tea.... my next posts will be Vitamins for the skins - Antioxidants, Skin Communicating & Skin Repairing Ingredients... :)
