Skincare Routine

Hey everyone!

Since I gave birth in October 2019, my skin was in terrible condition. It went from oily to extremely dry with a lot of acne. I didn't do anything at first, because I thought it's gonna sort itself out, but it did not :D 

So I started a whole new skincare routine and it actually improved my skin a lot. I do have some acne still, but it's hormonal - I still breastfeed so that's normal. Today I decided to share with you what I'm using at the moment. 

First Step -  in my morning and evening routine I use a cleanser. In the morning it's a cleanser bar soap from Erno Laszlo because it's mild and in the evening I use this cleanser from Avon's Planet Spa range. If I wear makeup I always double cleanse in the evening - micellar water first and then rinse and use a cleanser as well.

Second Step - always a toner, because it balances your skin's PH level and closes the pores. At the moment I'm using Oriflame's Love Nature tea tree toner. Tea tree helps me with blemishes and acne, it's amazing for the skin.

Third Step - is a serum. I currently use Avant's  Eight Hour Retexturing & Anti oxidising hyaluronic facial serum. I absolutely love it. Got it in LF beauty box.

Fourth Step - after serum comes moisturiser. I also use Avant's ultimate hyaluronic acid resurfacing duo moisturiser. An expensive moisturiser but it's amazing. Another one from my LF box.

Both serum and moisturiser contain hyaluronic acid which is perfect for dry skin, since it works like a sponge - holding up to a thousand times its weight in water and pulling it to the skin's surface to quench and plump. Hyaluronic acid can benefit all skin types - from sensitive and dry to oily and acne prone - because it helps reduce irritating side effects from stronger ingredients that can feel harsh or dry out the skin.

Fifth Step - is an eye cream, but I use it only in the morning. I currently use this Dr.Botanicals pomegranate brightening eye serum, but I'm not a big fan of it. I'll use it up and then use something else.

Let me know if you like skincare posts, I can write more of them and reviews of skincare products as well. It's important to treat your skin well to prepare it for makeup.

Best,

Katja
