Current Skin Care Routine

Makeup makes women beautiful. But above all, taking care of your face and apply skin care products regularly, makes women beautiful, even without makeup.

In this video, I have shown how I practically do my skincare regularly. An in depth step by step process of my routine I will be providing in this blog post. 


I actually have oily combination skin, which makes me pimple prone. I have been having breakouts for quite sometime and up to now, I am still in the look for the perfect skin care products that would minimize or even cure by breakouts, as well as my acne scars.


Recently, I decided to try out natural and organic products for my face. My skin is really sensitive and easily reacts to products  in terms of breakouts, however, a lot of anti-acne products do not work for me as I have ventured a LOT of products already, and nothing really cleared my skin up.


These products (except the Pure Beauty Super Brightening Eye Gel) I have recently hauled and featured in my latest haul video. These products I got from various brands that cater to providing natural and organic products. I mainly chose these specific products to try out since they claim to cater to pimple prone skin. The latter contains natural ingredients that may aid in acne and even pimple scars. Natural extracts contained in these products that are active ingredients for acne are Tea Tree Oil/Extract,  Witch Hazel, Argan Oil, and Strawberry.

(L-R)
All Organics Lemongrass Facial Toner
Aromacology Tea Tree Oil
Human Heart Nature Purifying Facial Scrub
Pure Beauty Super Brightening Eye Gel
Amir Argan Oil Moisturizer

After washing and Cleansing my face with the Human Heart Nature Purifying Facial ScrubI basically begin with Toning. I use the All Organics Lemongrass Facial Toner and a cotton round and apply it all over my face, concentrating on areas I have breakouts. I proceed with Acne Spot Treatment, and I apply Aromacology Tea Tree Oil directly on my acne areas. I let it dry as it may also sting a little, depending on your acne. After I let it set into my skin, I go ahead to Moisturizing, using the Amir Argan Oil Moisturizer which contains Argan Oil and Acai Berry Extracts.

I have yet to purchase the 100% Argan Oil to try out, since it has been said to be a miracle oil that is versatile in terms of anti-aging, moisturizing and can be used for hair, cuticle and lash care. I will surely put up a blog post on Argan Oil once I already have it on my hands.

That's just basically how I do my skincare routine. If you want me to do a review on these products, just go ahead and comment down below.

Quick and Easy Everyday Face Routine

Those days that I want to apply an extra coverage for my face, I use this routine. I usually just apply powder foundation on top of my moisturizer as a makeup base at lazy days when I'm in a hurry. But whenever I have time to sit down and do my makeup without rush, I do this routine.

In all makeup application procedures, skincare will always be the first and most vital. That part should never be skipped at all. Primer is also essential to makeup application as it allows a flawless finish, and makes the look last the whole day. Foundation is applied to even out the skintone, and not to lighten it. Conceal your problem spot well and Highlight the highest points of your face. Setting the whole look with powder foundation will make you stay matte, otherwise if you choose to project a dewy look, just brush a teeny bit of powder to eliminate oiliness.

I hope this routine has helped you and maybe given you some idea, tips or tricks in application of makeup :)
