Skincare

This was supposed to be a deterrent, but it’s downright delightful.

It's been a loooong time since I tried any new skincare 💧

First time using anything from Rhode and first impression is... yeah, I get the hype now 🤩

Hypochlorous Acid isn't new to me but this brand is (hypochlorous acid is a crunchy moms best friend)

Sharing my skincare routine because why not.

morning routine (which tbh I don’t really do everyday, I used to be consistent with it but now I’m a lazy bish with morning skincare) anyhow- 
-Cerave blemish control 
-Garnier vitamin C serum 
-Snail slime serum (bioteca italiana is a very nice Italian brand I’ve discover recently and I’m testing it now- kinda nice ngl) 
-And ultimately BHA+ Niacinamide with spf 50+ to protect my mermaid skin from the sun. 

Evening routine 
-Cerave blemish control (I use the same morning and evening because I’ve tested it and works great on my skin type) 
- hyaluronic acid (use the bioteca italiana one now, which is great, but I’ve tested many others) 
- retinol by L’Oréal (actually finishing this off because I’ve bought a new one from Meisani but I didn’t try it yet) 
And then garnier lavender night cream (obsessed) 

Honestly, I’ve tried also more products through the years and all but keeping my skincare simple and demure is just the best option both for the time I consume, the money and ultimately my skin too. I feel that using not many products but the right ones it’s just the best gorgness.

How about yours? Do you have a skincare routine?

today i got facial injections for the first time ever and it hurt like hell im so glad this day is finally over

~✨3 TYPES OF INGREDIENTS TO HELP FADE HYPERPIGMENTATION(a must read!)✨~

That $1,000 K-beauty serum that you are over relying on to try and fade years worth of hyperpigmentation is probably not going to work

If you actually want to see results and fast, you need to be using 3 types of ingredients

The first is something to help speed up your skin cell turn over, I am talking about your retinoids, chemical exfoliants, etc., because believe it or not, the pigments from those dark marks you can see on your skin are actually sitting way down below your skin surface. These ingredients will help push that pigment up, so your skin can naturally shred away

The next type of ingredient is something to stop the excess melanin being produced in the first place, these ingredients are called tyrosinase inhibitors, so I am talking about your azelaic acid, kojic acid, vitamin c, arbutin and believe me there are a lot more. Because hyperpigmentation is really just your skin going into over drive, as a response to trauma and producing way too much melanin

And finally you need to be using sunscreens, because UV rays trigger melanin production. Not only will not using sunscreen create new areas of hyperpigmentation, it will also make your existing dark marks even darker and we don't want that at all.

Amazed at how perfectly the box fits within this box ahahaha. 

Anyone tried Mediheal’s teatree toner pads? I’ve tried the collagen ampoule before but I think these ones will be better for my skincare needs. 

Tip: order your Korean skincare from Costco! This 2 pack was $30 vs a 1 pack for $24 at Ulta.

Trying out these new Abib toner pads because I saw they were rated 100/100 on the Yuka app (very rare)

What I paid here equals to what I used to pay for one moisturizer. I keep winning 🫡
