MY ESSENTIAL SKINCARE PRODUCTS
Assalammu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh ...
Hello, beauties !
My name is Annisa Putri Larasati.
This is my first post about
skincare ‘ever’.
I had a thought that at the age of 20s women starting
to pay attention about skincare (so do I), in order to take care of and respect
their skin. Skin is the largest organ you have; it’s the barrier protecting
your insides from outside.
Back at school and college, we
had so many activities outside. Even the temperature was so hot, we still had
to go. And it means we’d be outside a lot, right ?
Let’s go to my story.
Before (teenager age), I had
never pay any attention to my skin, especially our face. It has darkened my skin
and gave some pimples around my eyes and cheeks. Oh, it also gave me wrinkles
too (it’s hard to conceal it).
When becoming 21 years old, mom
said something to me.
“ You are a woman now. Don’t you
want to take care of your skin, dear ? “
After that, I searched a lot
about skincare. I’m a fan of korean drama too, so I searched a lot how to have
clear and healthy skin.
Finally, I just got skincare
routine that works on me.
Here we go.
1. Double
cleansing (cleanser and face wash)
If we’re wearing a
lot of makeup and have been exposed to a lot of pollution, it might be a good
idea to use a cleanser first, before face wash. We have micellar cleansing
water, milk cleanser etc as our cleanser. So, you have to be patient to find
the cleanser product that works on your skin.

2. Toner
A toner function
is to complete the cleansing of our skin, swaps the the dust or anythinf that
can be left after washing with a cleanser and face wash. My toner contains aloe
vera extract (moisturizing), zinc gluconate and witch hazel extract (oil
control and pore tightening).

3. Moisturizer/lotion
Of course, it’s
moisturizing. I use a moisturizer that have light formula and watery feel for
morning and night skincare routine, and also before applying makeup.

4. Eye
Cream
Starting to use
eye cream early will help your eyes looking bright and awake, while reducing
dark shadows, minimizing any early morning puffiness and keeping the area moisturized
(Tata Harper). I apply eye cream these days and it didn’t make a noticeable
difference but it deeply moisturizing that area.

5. Sun Protection
Sunscreen works
by combining organic and inorganic active ingredients to reflect UV radiation.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, sunscreen with SPF 15 will
prevent burning for about 150 minutes or 2.5 hours. So far, I use sunscreen
with SPF 30 before going outside and working
with computer, tab or smartphone and lip balm with SPF 30 for protecting my
lips.

6. Face
and lip exfoliation
Face and lip
scrub is essential for three reasons, according to Ole Henriksen (founder of
eponymous skincare brand), “ firstly, it deeply cleanses yhe skin, dislodging
buildup in the pores and helping to break up whiteheads. It also smooths and
refines the skin textures, giving it a soft, supple look. And lastly, it
enhances blood flow to the face, giving the appearance of a fresh glow,” . I
use exfoliating gel for exfoliating my face and lip scrub product (plus olive
oil) for exfoliating my lips.

Note : A lot of friends asked me if I use the products like day and night cream, serum, essence and many more. I have ever used day and night cream, but these days I'm too lazy to do it. Serum and essence are good for skin, but I have never try it. All products above are "the essential" for me.
7. And the last, live
well
High stress
hormone can bring on acne, pimples and even wrinkles. So, take a rest enough,
exercise regularly and doing anything to feel positive and happy.
Thank you for visiting my blog,
From skincare with love....
