Since I turned 30, I do my best not to use products that aggravate or dry out my skin. I prefer using products with ingredients that are naturally derived and safe.
My facial skincare routine is an adaptation of the Korean skincare routine with a few minor changes to suit the Nigerian weather.
I,
I,
- cleanse using a pH balanced cleanser and/or micellar cleanser
- tone with rosewater/orange blossom water,
- apply a water based serum like Korres Black Pine Serum
- apply one or two drops of my facial oil mix
- apply sunscreen such as SunBum mineral Sunscreen SpF 30/50.
For my body,
I use SheaMoisture African Water Mint and Ginger Detox Lotion or this natural Eden Body Works Citrus Fusion Hair and Body Butter
I do a little bit extra on spa days.
I did a clay mask using Shea butter cottage Rhassoul Clay mask which I purchased from OrganicLifePlus online store.
Rhassoul clay is more moisturising than Bentonite Clay and slippery too so great as a clay wash for hair.
I'm mixing it with edible orange blossom water which has astrigent properties to close pores, reduce oiliness and keep skin clear.
I added cinnamon powder which is very good for acne. When using cinnamon please use a dash. It's really strong!! It makes my skin tingle a lot so I use it sparingly.
To shower, I'm currently using this handmade Fruit infused face and body wash made by a new natural skincare brand (coming soon). It contains kojic acid, citric acid pineapple, papaya, orange amongst other ingredients.
It smells amazing and acts as a mild chemical peel.
I usually use it at night but since it's spa day, I use it in the day time too.
So far, so good, my skin is benefiting from using gentle, naturally derived products.
What's your skin care routine like?

ReplyDeleteHello Madam,
ReplyDeleteI'm a fair skinned lady. My skin is very sensitive yet tough to change to. I want a cream that still would lighten me up and maintain a whitened complexion without sunburns, green vein, dark spot, dark knuckles or dark toes.
Have a question or comment? We would love you to share!!!!
