Skin Care 101

[VainDoll]

Since we have a thread for makeup guide for beginners. Gawa naman ako ng skin care 101. Please share your questions and advices here. ^_^

[yellowminion]

Skin care varies from person to person eh. I know someone walang ka-effort effort sa skin yung normal facial wash lang everyday pero poreless pa rin and hindi ma-pimples. It's in the genes din kasi. Lucky sila :/  As for me, ma pimples kasi ako and may skin is madumi talaga hundi ako blessed with clear skin kaya medyo magastos on my part. Pinaka-simple skincare ko na is this:


facial every month
Moisturize
Sunblock
Scrub and mask every week

[angelique_1523]

Since my skin is suffering because of me this is my punishment. No make up for 2 week up to 1 month!! This is my new routine. Is this ok??
My routine for 2 weeks-1 mos

Cetaphil-facial wash
Olive Oil-moisturizer

Update nalang what will happen..I pray harder makuha talaga kahit ang kapalit pa di na ko mag make up basta mabalik lang flawless skin kasi black beauty. This is really a lesson for me.

Thanks for this thread dito na ko tatambay para di na off topic

I suggest using sunblock everyday, spf15 if sa bahay lang.

[honeybunny]

my skincare is weekly exfoliation, sunblock sa umaga, moisturizer/tretinoin as anti ageing sa gabi inaalternate ko sya.

I am making skin care a 4th career, after our kids, our conjugal businesses; my own businesses/rackets/flipping/secret accounts.

I wanna look 30 when I am 60; or, better --  Forever 21, without the frozen (though perfectly beautiful) mask of a face of Gretchen Barretto. Peace sa mga fans -- IMO, lang.

I use the following (may codigo ako stuck to my sink vanity mirror) & number my products in pentel pen (mahirap mag isip pag sooo sleepy or still groggy out of bed)


CLEANSE  FACE:          LAZLO Phelityl Pre-Cleansing Oil & Sea Mud Bar
               EYE AREA:    MAKE UP FOREVER  Sens Eyes                           

(When on the plane:  Any brand no-rinse cleansing wipes.  Per studies, wipes are bad for the skin --  but  that's all I can manage on flights or while on the road traveling)

TONERS:  Face T-Zone             LAZLO Light Control
               Rest of Face             LAZLO Hydraphel

EYEBAGS:  LA MER Eye Concentrate   --  pinipilit  ko ubusin,  mahal eh, then I will shift to
                 LAZLO Phormula 9-3  Eye Repair

SERUM:     LA MER --  haynako pinipilit ubusin kasi pricey, sayang  eh, then shift to
                 LAZLO Repair Serum

HYDRATION:  INDEED Hydraluron (from Canada, has highest 20% concentration)

PORE MINIMIZER only on areas with craters, to save on product:    SISLEY Global Perfect

TREATMENT all over face except for eye area:  M2 (High Potency Skin Refinish Malic Acid)

MOISTURISER,  except for oily T-Zone & eye area:
                        LA MER Moisturizing Soft Cream (inuubus, to replace haynako with --)
                        LAZLO FIRMARINE Moisturizer SPF 30 for day &
                        LAZLO Phormula 3-9. Repair Cream for night



NECK & Decolletage: 
            CLEANSE          CLINIQUE Take The Day Off & LA MER The Cleansing Gel
            TONE               LAZLO  Hydraphel
             HYDRATE         INDEED Hydraluron
            TREATMENT      LAZLO  FIRMARINE Neck Cream
            MOISTURIZER   LAZLO LUMINOUS Intensive Decollette Treatment with SPF 20
                                             ( grabe ito, the best - will trade my driver for year's supply hahaha)
                                               

2x a Week or The Day After A Wild Night Out or Work Overnighters:
       SISLEY Black Rose Cream Masque
Or, after cleansing no-rinse  wipes on the plane & TONER LAZLO Hyraphel:   I use this fantastic leave-on masque.
       This is a miracle-worker, peksman. 

On LIPS:  LA MER.  The Lip Balm

^Per Erno LAZLO:  Beautiful  skin is a commitment, not a miracle.     Haynako.

sis 13 kapa :0 :0 ?!?!?!

I believe in less makeup talaga. I believe naka.clog talaga yung makeup sa skin
Kahit ako ginawa ko lang sparingly but naghoard rin ako ng foundation (baliw lang)
Fine, I will never look as polished as the girls in full makeup and their chinchansu/ overly
Light foundation will always be eye.catching here but as I always like to say,

"Ano point na maganda skin ko if takpan ko lang ng makeup?"

It will really hurt your skin in the long run unless napakatiyaga mo sa skincare.
Its like magdoble problema mo.. you need products to take care of your skin
, bili kapa mg makeup , bili kapa ng pagtanggal or magfix ng blemishes because of makeup.
 
Did i mention makeup has a pyschologically addicting effect.?

Im not saying makeup is bad or should not be used (napakahypocrite kase) Im just saying avoid unless necessary.
Kahit mga derma ko sabi nila ito sa akin.. but of course, may trabaho na kailangan talaga ng makeup, baka artista ka or
Flight attendant or model, so wala akong say dito

 ^ Sis ako i am one of a living manifestation na nasira nasira flawless face dahil sa kakagamit ng mga make up. Even its branded or not make upo kung [textspeak!] anong ingredient. D pa naman ako marunong timingin noon eto I am suffering from severe acne ngayon. This is my fourth day not wearing any make up para makapg pahinga my problem is i have blind pimple na ngayon meron ng head tapos di ko mapigilan iprick din Wala pang time bumili pero I will be using Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer and see the results. I hope magbunga naman yung di ko pag mamake up heheh..thi is sacrifice for e..:

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^ & ^^ I think depende sa makeup na ginagamit mo. Foundation (at least the properly formulated ones) has been proven to protect skin from pollution and other external aggressors, acting like a mask during daytime. Of course if it has ingredients that do not agree with your skin, then you'll be prone to clogging and other reactions talaga.

[angelique_1523]

^ Sis I am not using any make up for now pero I used to apply TBS all in one fase base also Missha Perferct BB Cream buti nga ngayon paubos na. Me nagsuggest kasi cetaphil kaya I can't wait to use super busy lang talaga kaya di makapunta ng Mall. Di ako hiyang sa body shop. Grabe last 2 weeks lang maayos pa ngayon puro acne na ko tapos yung iba cystic pa! Gusto ko na nga punta sa derma pero di kaya ng schedule asar talaga.                      

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^not a fan of TBS foundations and Missha or Bb creams in general.

Do you have aloe plant sis? If you do try this twice a day: wash your face with a mild cleanser, dove white soap is ok. Dry your face and get an aloe leaf, cut the leaf in 2-3 inch sections, then peel one side of the leaf and rub the gel onto your skin, leave on for 20-30 minutes and rinse off with water. Skip makeup and moisturizers for the time being.

Do this am and pm for about two weeks and once your skin has calmed down and is generally better, minimize use to once a day (hassle din kasi). Aloe is a natural anti-inflammatory and can help with acne inflammation and acne scars with prolonged use. Note that it has to be fresh and make sure to get rid of possible dagta (yellow substance) before applying to your face.

You can also puree the gel and put in small containers  and place in the fridge. Make a fresh batch every two days.
