My Daily Skin Care Routine

Secret to a good looking skin? Consistent skin care routine! Meaning, having a morning skin care routine and evening skin care routine. I have learned that after years and years of doing the 10 Steps Korean Skin Care Routine. Product brands matter too and skin age. The older you get, the more care you need to give to your skin.

Now that I am 35+ my skin care routine varies but this are the constants: facial wash, toner, moisturizer, and sun screen. Right now, these are the brands that I am using:

Daytime Skin Care Routine products used:

Facial wash: Kojic Soap
Toner: Thayer’s Witch Hazel
Ampoule: Deoproce Snail Whitening Ampoule
Moisturizer: Deoproce Alove Vera
Sunscreen: Biore Whitening Sunscreen or Belo Tinted Sunscreen

Nighttime Skin Care Routine products used:

Facial wash: Kojic Soap
Toner: Thayer’s Witch Hazel
Ampoule: Deoproce Snail Whitening Ampoule
Moisturizer: Deoproce Snail Repair Whitening Cream

10 Tips To Achieve the Korean Skin Glow even without the 10 Steps Korean Skin Care Routine:

Never sleep with dirty face, even if you are dead tired, cleanse and moisturize.
Don’t skip on sunscreen lotion, specially on your face.
Use a toner that is alcohol free.
Drink plenty of water.
Don’t skip the morning routine.
Use facial scrub once a week.
Facial mask is a must every after facial scrub.
Order of exfoliation: facial wash> facial scrub> toner> mask> moisturizer.
Order of creams is from thinnest to thickest consistency.
Massage your face at least 10 seconds in the morning and in the evening while doing your skin care routine.

Overwhelmed? Stick to wash>toner>moisturizer for evening routine, just add sunscreen for your morning routine. SUNSCREEN lotion is your face’s bff, never forget that!

5 Reasons Why I Love HYDRAFACIAL

For someone who loves skin care so much, facial should not be a big deal no? Well, not for me. I am afraid to explore that area. In fact, I often turn down invites for me to try a facial (save for a few or just one that I said yes). I love giving away Spa GCs that I got, specially if it involves a facial. I am not really sure why but maybe because I feel like it would just be a waste of time and the results won’t be what I expected it would be.

But in the end, my curiosity got me. I am not the kind of person who would travel to Makati just to get a facial, but I did. This facial really got me, as I heard that somewhere in the world, this kind of facial is done every 15 seconds. Do the math. But that’s really a lot and that was just last year. I’m guessing this year, it’s every 5 seconds. Is it really that good? IT IS.

Actually, it’s not just a facial, it’s HydraFacial. Is it your first time to hear about it? Let me tell you more about it by giving you the 5 reasons why I love it. Which is also the reasons why I have plans on doing this on a monthly basis. Hear me out!

5 Reasons Why I Love HydraFacial

HydraFacial is non invasive and is pain- free, meaning it does not go beyond your skin. It does not prick and not at all painful to the skin. If you have stubborn black heads or white heads, you know how it feel when they prick that. With HydraFacial, pricking is history. As the name suggests, it uses hydra or water (and water) in high speed to exfoliate the skin. Watch the video to see how much dirt it removed from my skin without any pain!

HydraFacial gives you the best skin of your life in less than an hour. The treatment includes 3 steps procedures: cleansing, exfoliating, infusing. After the 3 steps, skin is treated with LED Light Therapy. And all those steps in just less than an hour.

HydraFacial has no side effect and little downtime. After the procedure, you are good to go! From my experience, there really is no downtime. My face is not red, not swollen, no pain! I can resume my activities right after HydraFacial. Of course, you need to be extra careful with sun exposure, but every skin enthusiast and skin loving beauty knows that naman di ba? Sun can do great damages to your skin.

HydraFacial is best for all skin types. You know there are facial that is not advised for oily skin or facials that are only for specific skin types. HydraFacial caters to all skin types as the booster are tailored for what the skin needs that moment. You have fine lines and wrinkles? Go for it! Skin texture? Brown spots? Dry skin? Enlarged pores, HydraFcial is for Everyone!

5 Simple Things To Make You Feel Better

Being a stay at home for almost 15 years exposed me through a lot of problems, dilemma, and stress. Of course it’s all worth it but there are just time that you don’t really feel well. There are times when sadness kicks in and all you can think of is how you lost yourself for being a stay at home mom for so long. It happens to and I know it happens to you as well, so let me share with you my Feel Better Hacks, tried and tested!

5 Simple Things To Make You Feel Better

1. Pray. This is by far the most powerful make me feel better hack. No matter what your religion is, give yourself at least 5 minutes to talk to whom you believe is the most merciful being. Pray for mercy, ask for forgiveness, give thanks, and pray for strength.

I am born Catholic, reciting the Rosary really makes me feel better in a snap.

2. Take a bath. Take a longer than usual and warm bath. It helps if you have a hot shower. The sound of running water is very therapeutic and warm water is good for the circulation too. Deep condition your hair and use skin scrub. Cleaning your hair and body sometimes feels like stripping your self all the stress you feel. It really helps in keeping the mind calm and stress free.

3. Drink coffee or a cold drink. Drinking something more than just plain water keeps you refreshed. A really really cold water with a hint of mint can make you feel better in a snap. I buy my peppermint oil from Young Living.

4. Draw, Write, or Doodle. You don’t need a good bullpen to do this, grab the ballpen or pencil near you and start writing or doodling. I find drawing circles over and over again very therapeutic. And if you really really love writing, why don’t you start a blog? It really helps to get your thoughts out. It feels like you are talking to someone and not just yourself or your toddler. No idea how to start a blog? Here’s a very detailed guide: How To Start A Blog

5. Talk to someone. If there is no someone that you can talk to, talk to me on my FB page 🙂 I reply most of the times, specially if it is a mom needing help.

But if all else fails, diffuse an oil and sleep. A starter kit from Young Living already includes a diffuser and o10 kinds of oils. Let me know if you need help in buying, just send me a message on my Facebook Page: Mommy Blogger Pehpot
