Skin Care Routine...

This topic was created in the The Powder Room forum by MyStarsShine on Saturday, July 1, 2017 and has 26 replies.
Ladies,

I found a very good natural skin care treatment. No expensive creams or lotions

Mix one part raw apple cider vinegar to two parts water. Dab on the face with cotton wool, as an astringent/toner. Allow to dry and then apply Aloe Vera gel mixed with a few drops of frankincense and lavender essential oils

The first time I used it, I noticed a big difference .... skin looked fresh and younger with a healthy glow

smile

I already use aloe + frankincense (love how soothing it smells!) every day. Will have to try the apple cider vinegar, since I've always heard good things. Does the smell linger on your face long after application, though? I'm not a fan of the scent.

Oh i remember this friend of mine who has a clear, smooth, glowing face. And she told me that she's using aloe vera as mask.

And i keep hearing people talking about the apple cider vinegar as toner. Never really tried it myself, but seem nice.

No it fades quite quickly

Hmm... I'll have to try that next time. What type of skin do you have, Star?

I usually mix raw apple cider with clay as a mask. If weather is too dry, I add honey.

Other than that, I use Eminence for my skin. All natural/organic:

They are the best for me and I always get complimented on my skin ☺️



Normal skin, I think? Not too dry or oily smile

I already use Aloe vera, lemon and honey, that's really the best for me

Maybe i'll try your receipt one day ^^ However since you use natural product, do you have any advice for under eyes dark circle ? I tried everything already -_-


Will look out for tips and if I see anything, will get back to you

Natural products either irritate my skin or are completely ineffective for some reason. I avoid them as much as possible. Anything citrus or slightly acidic will give me a reaction. Even the aloe vera from the plant, n house made rose water gave me a reaction. The only natural stuff which works ok for me is milk, honey, oatmeal,banana. But I'm too lazy for that stuff anyway. I'm better off with selective chemical n organic stuff. I follow a definite regime which suits my skin. But I keep revamping every once in a while. I like new products?

Careful! Talking about that list..Almond oil is not non-comedogenic n coconut oil is highly comedogenic. Lemon/Lime would cause Phytophotodermatitis. So do tomatoes. You might wanna do patch test for turmeric too. Other options seemed safe.

Haha i was thinking about patch test for turmeric when i recieved the notification for your quote ! I will do more in-depth research and see what will be best, no worries i'll be extremely careful ^^

Thank you for your message by the way

One thing I've learned n would definitely suggest someone is to be equally or even more careful with the natural stuff. N here we're discussing under eye skin which is many times more thin n sensitive. Good that you were gonna do in-depth research on that anyway.

Np??

Ladies,

I found a very good natural skin care treatment. No expensive creams or lotions

Mix one part raw apple cider vinegar to two parts water. Dab on the face with cotton wool, as an astringent/toner. Allow to dry and then apply Aloe Vera gel mixed with a few drops or frankincense and lavender essential oils

The first time I used it, I noticed a big difference .... skin looked fresh and younger with a healthy glow

Applying your suggestion as I type!

Hope to be newborn!

Clarisonic with Purity cleanser (bye bye pores since I started using the Clarisonic, not sure about the face cleanser though)

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair cream (has done wonders for the darkness under my eyes)

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream (almost out, not re-purchasing, I notice no difference, Jaclyn Hill used it so I bought it lol!)
Been contemplating getting mia2. Rn I'm enjoying really good skin(touchwood). I don't want this to disrupt it or something.I have sensitive one to start with. But I'm really really curious n have this itch to buy it. What do you think I should do??

You should try Eminence... I

LOVE their products and always change it up as well. ?

Sounds nice.Are they dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic n non-comedogenic? Few organic products are not. I was curious n did look up the link you posted before..but didn't have a proper look. Seemed like salon-alone products.I'll have a look again now.Where would I get these?

These kinda reviews is the reason I've this severe itch to buy it. But I don't scrub my face. I only use mild AHA exfoliants n this brush kinda scares me??

i use an AHA exfoliant too. is yours a cleanser? mine is a 2% topical gel that i put on before my moisturizing oil.

my skin is pretty oily & sensitive as hell. i am soooo scared of ever changing my routine bc anything can mess it all up. the clarisonic has reduced my oil production & my pores are like, gone!

click to expand
I used it both as cleanser as well as in cream form. Previously Glycolic..now I shifted to lactic.

I have a combination skin(n a very sensitive one)n change can mess up mine as well. I still keep revamping tho. I don't want my skin to get used to particular kinda products. It shouldn't actually. But whatever works for each of us. Clarisonic does interest me. But I used this very mild scrub like brush(it's very very mild trust me) n my skin didn't react well to it. So I decided to stick with chemical exfoliants rather than physical. That's the reason I'm holding back. I think I'll buy it anyway tho .. just because?
