here is my skin care diary and updated winter skincare routine
Day routine:
double cleansing with loccitane oil to milk cleanser + loccitane precious cleansing foam,
La Roche Posay serozinc toner spray, then iunik propolis synergy serum and the nature republic super aqua max fresh watery cream
Night time:
double cleansing with loccitane oil to milk cleanser + loccitane precious cleansing foam,
then I’m From mugwort essence,
then Loccitane immortelle reset serum, for face cream Loccitane Immortelle precieuse creme and Mizon snail repair eye cream
I tried to stick to one routine for 28 days but I was not seeing much improvement until Day 17 – when I started using Cosrx salicylic acid once daily with my foreo luna mini 2 for gentle exfoliation x 3 times a week
(as my second step cleanser instead of the Loccitane immortelle foam cleanser, first step was Loccitane oil to milk cleanser + evenings would be double cleansing with Loccitane oil to milk and Loccitane immortelle foaming cleansers).
Thereafter skin improved within 2 days, by Day 19, when I then introduced the Bodyshop tea tree oil cleanser 2 times a day
(as my first step cleanser instead of the Loccitane oil to milk cleanser, followed by the Loccitane immortelle foam cleanser second step) – alternate between the two products.
Had a good week of clear skin until Day 24 when my periods started, period week.
Day 28 last day of periods – can see a few spots but and not much redness just a bit of hyperpigmentation/fading spots. Which is much improved from some months when my skin is very red and spotty during period week!
*In addition to this routine I also kept up with sheet masks x2 a week and used Laneige cica sleeping mask x2 a week after I used sheet mask skipping toner and serum steps
In conclusion, I really recommend ♡the foreo luna mini 2 – great for gentle exfoliation,
♡Cosrx salicylic acid daily gentle cleanser – deeper exfoliation
♡bodyshop tea tree oil cleanser – remove excess sebum
♡Iunik propolis vitamin synergy serum – brightening and anti wrinkle care
♡La roche posay serozinc toner spray – good prep before adding other skincare, nice, refreshing, moisterising and help with ph balance
♡and Nature Republic super aqua max fresh watery cream
– light gel texture cream absorbs into the skin well
as my go to products for treating my acne!
I recommend these products highly, if you were to narrow them down to what worked best for me and my skin for this winter
