Ritual. We all have a daily regiment that becomes our daily ritual for keeping our selves clean and feeling beautiful from the inside out.
My beauty ritual these days consist of products that are helping my combination skin battle sensitive areas, oily areas, occasional acne, dry areas in the humidity of Singapore.
1) Current Facial Cleanser: White Tea gel cleanser by Korres
I like the smell of this cleanser. White tea is a strong antioxidant and this cleanser delivers by cleansing skin without drying out the skin.
I've used this cleanser in the past and have returned to it for the past couple months because my skin has gone through a change (perhaps due to my impending birthday?) this year due to relocating halfway around the world and the humidity level here. The cleanser does the job of cleaning my skin without stripping it dry and causing more oil production to create acne flare ups.
I also like the fact that this cleanser has no parabens and Korres doesn't do any animal testing.
2) Current Moisturizer: Discontinued Korres Materia Herba moisturizing gel
Will be switching to more moisturizing gels here in Singapore b/c creams feel too heavy for daytime.
3) Current Sunscreen: Kate Somerville SPF 55 Serum Sunscreen
My favorite sunscreen because it just disappears onto my skin without that weird white chalky greasy mess some sunscreens leave after application. It feels light enough to layer over the top of serum and moisturizer.
These three products are my basics. The following I use on a weekly as-needed basis.
4) Serum: Tatcha deep brightening serum
Please read my previous post on the Tatcha line.
5) Exfoliation: Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facial Polish by REN
This exfoliator is awesome. The beads are so tiny and it feels more like a polish cream than a polish. I've been on the market for an exfoliator that feels like this for so long and I've tried quite a number of different brands. This one also smells awesome!
I use it about 2-3 times a week on an as needed basis - depends on how grimy I get from wandering around, working out, dancing, shopping, walking, etc.
6) Mask: Dr Hauschka's Rejuvenating Mask
This is my recent addition to my beauty weekly ritual. I've only used it once and so far, I like it. The mask is calming and soothing to my skin. I think it also made my skin feel a softer and brighter afterward.
The downside is the price for this small tube and the fact that I have to leave the mask on for 20-30 minutes.
I plan on using this mask about once a week.
7) Eye cream: Enlivening Amino-AG Eye treatment by Boscia
This eye cream feels like silk and I definitely use eye cream for those days I don't get enough sleep, had been drinking the night before, before & after a plane ride.
