Happy Tuesday everyone!!! Today I thought I would share my skincare routine. I’ve always talked about makeup or hair care but never really went into detail about skincare. I’ve been using the products in the photos for the last 3 months. These photos were taken 2 months ago and my genifique has now finished.
Shiseido The Skincare Purifying Cleansing Foam – I’ve been using this cleanser on and off for about 5 or 6 years. When I was over in the US last year, the lady at the Shiseido counter told me that they are discontinuing The Skincare range and will be replacing with the Ibuki range. I was quite disappointed to hear my all time favorite cleanser has been discontinued. This cleanser really cleans your face, without stripping away your natural oils or causing any dryness. I use this day and night. If I use foundation on a particular day, I would use my oil cleanser first and then use this to remove any residual makeup.
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion +* - Last year Clinique came up with a new formula for the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion and added a plus to it. During my uni days, I did try Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion but found it to be not moisturising enough for my skin. I was a little sceptical when I was trying the new plus version. After using it for 3 months now, I can tell you that this new plus version is perfect for people who have drier skin and is in need of more hydration. It has a nice texture to use underneath makeup and is surprisingly lightweight.
Shiseido Ibuki Refining Moisturizer Enriched - For night-time, I usually like to use a cream that is thicker and super moisturising. I randomly bought this moisturiser in Sephora last year without reading any reviews or anything. I would have to say this is one of my best random purchases I’ve made in a long time. This moisturiser is slightly thicker but absorbs really quick and doesn’t feel heavy. I wake up with really smooth glowy skin.
Lancome Advanced Genifique – I use the Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate twice a day (day & night). I found after using this for a few days, the results were quite impressive and made my skin looked so much better. The biggest difference I’ve noticed is how much it brightens my complexion. The serum is quite light and a small pea-size distributed by the dropper is sufficient for the entire face and neck.
Lancome Visionnaire – I’ve been using Visionnaire for about 4 months now and I haven’t really noticed any difference with my skin. I spoke to the Lancome lady at David Jones and she told me it’s also to help prevent wrinkles so totally ok if I don’t notice anything right now.
Lancome DreamTone – I have quite a bit of scarring and uneven skintone on my right cheek. Ever since using DreamTone, I have noticed that the scarring has started to fade. Three months later, it’s barely noticeable now. I used to get those really big deep acne that ends up leaving a horrible red patch.
I use these products in the following order:
