Skin care tips : Beautiful healthy skin

Hello! Today I'm back with skin care tips post..
For me having beautiful healthy skin is very important.. I want to stay beautiful, but not from makeup. I just don't want to go through a lot of makeup to look beautiful. So these are my tips to keep your skin beautiful.

1. Healthy lifestyle
Beauty comes from within.. You're what you eat...
You might hear these phrase a lot.. but still neglect healthy lifestyle.. You can't possibly expect to have beautiful skin if you don't take care of your body.. Because if you have healthy life style, the result must be show up on your skin. Just took baby steps, slowly but surely change your bad habit such as sleep late, eating unheathy food, smoking, drinking alcohol, and such.

2. Go Bare!
For most of you.. maybe it's really hard to go outside with makeup on. But.. to have healthy skin, you must let your skin breathe. Cosmetic products is full of chemical substance, and possibly dangerous for your body. Limit the usage on makeup, cut it to 3-4 times  a week rather than daily.. If your job opt you to use makeup.. use lighter base makeup such as only primer+concealer, bb cream/cc cream +concealer. And don't forget to cleanse thoroughly with double cleansing method.

3. Check your products ingredients
These days, I began to check the ingredients of my beauty product, and I'm pretty shock of the results. Some ingredients is classified as irritant, comedogenic, might cause infection, or bad for environment.
Sometimes.. less is more. And that also goes with the product you use for your skin.. switch to organic natural products, or just use what your skin really needs ( basic skin care ) And you could just try to use natural products such as oil for moisturizing.

4. Fix the bad habit :
touching your face,  popping your zits, rubbing your eyes, not using glasses/ sunglasses , forgetting sunscreen, not cleansing your phone or glasses regularly, not changing your pillow case/ bed sheet..
Are some of bad habit that most people constantly do. Fix the bad habit, and you will soon see the effects on your skin.

Elle's skin care routine : Oily and acne prone skin

FYI I'm almost 16, I'm Chinese with medium to fair skin color. My biggest concern is my oily skin, acne and acne marks, but I focused on brightening my skin too. Sometimes I suffered from acne..mainly because hormones, happened in the "time of the month" but it's not that gigantic or so.
 Well my skin gets better after I switched my products.. I used to have big pimple and sometimes suffered from terrible breakouts. I used products mainly from brands  like garnier, pond's, clean&clear but it doesn't works really well :(

So here's my current skin care routine..

Morning time:
1. Cleanser: Sebamed clear face antibacterial cleansing foam
Love it! Really gentle and great for acne prone skin. Smells pleasant too..

2. Lotion: Hada labor gokujyun light lotion
Well this is Japanese brand, pretty much looks like toner but works differently.. It's alcohol free and works to moisturize and balance skin PH. Love the consistency, it's watery and light.

3. Eye care: Garnier eye brightening roll on
I don't recommend this one since it doesn't brighten my under eye area at all. I'm waiting for this one to ran out..

4. Moisturizer: Sebamed care gel
A must have for me.. My HG product! This had gel consistency.. Really light and oil free.  It's soothing and really gentle for skin.
The best moisturizer I've ever tried.

5. Spot care: SK-II whitening spots specialist
It's not really mine.. I use it together along with my mom. Works great on brightening my acne spots!

6. Acne treatment: Sebamed pimple gel
Doesn't works greatly.. I own the body shop tea tree oil too.. But nothing really works amazingly..

7. Sunscreen: Skin aqua UV moisture gel SPF 30 PA++
Love this one! Watery and not greasy at all.. Moisturize skin too and gives slightly brightening and dewy look.

Night time:
1. Cleanser: Sebamed antibacterial cleansing foam

2. Toner.    : Sebamed deep cleansing facial toner
Works to double-cleanse my skin. This has alcohol.. So I don't really favour this one.. Might irritate skin and strip skin's natural oil. Will change this product to cleansing milk later after I finish the product..

3. Lotion: Hada labo gokujyun light lotion

4. Eye care: Garner eye brightening roll on

5.  Moisturizer: Sebamed care gel

6. Spot care: SK-II whitening spot specialist

7. Acne treatment:  Pond's overnight care gel
So affordable and dries out my pimple overnight.

Weekly treatment:
1. Scrub: Garnier brightening scrub
Lathers well, but it's not grainy enough for me. Doesn't really feel the exfoliating effect. But it's pretty good for sensitive skin. I use this twice a week

2. Mask: JOA brightening mask, Garner self heating sauna mask, Acne's clay mask.
Diy mask:  using lemon, out meal, tea, honey, milk

3. Other:
SK-II facial treatment essence
Used this twice a week for sleeping mask. Really moisturize your skin.

4. Ice cube mask
To tone skin.. Used every other day

5. Massage: Olive oil
Once a week for 5-10mn. To slim down my round face and promotes blood circulation. I also incorporate Chinese acupressure point. Not all people fitted to use olive oil, this may cause pimple.. I wash my face after massage with cleansing foam abd limit the usage of other skin care products like moisturizer.
