Facial Regimen

My mother always told me it was hard work being a woman... well, a vain one that is!

I know very well, that I do not need to do a hair, facial, workout regimen, but then I would not be happy with myself. Taking proper care of yourself boosts your esteem! And when my esteem is at it's highest, I am more happy then ever and more productive!

This is why I decided to throw in my facial regimen. It's quite basic, no burning or peeling! I am going to divide the regimen in three sections: Daily Routine, Nightly Routine and Weekly Routine.

Also, if you have any idea, e-mail or post them as a comment! Let's get together and help each achieve great bodies, faces and hair!

Daily Routine

Every morning, I wake and wash my face with lukewarm water. I do not use soap, or anything. I tend to have very dry skin in the morning and water is all I need.

Then, I pat my face dry. I do not vigorously dry it. Little pats does the work!

Before putting my foundation on, I apply my daily moisturizer. I am currently using Vichy's UV Activ Daily Moisturizing Cream with Sunscreen SPF15. I love this product because it moisturizes my fac e instantly without leaving a greasy residue.

I usually apply two small peas all-over my face, then I am good to go.

Nightly Routine

This is where things get interesting. When I am done my work-out, I hit the showers and start my nighly routine.

I wet my face with lukewarm water and I scrub my face with Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub. ( I will probably be replacing this product soon, since I do not see it as being highly effective)

Then, I use Spectro Jel. I always like this product since it's anti-bacterial and I truly feel that my face is clean.

I continue to wash the rest of my body, and once I am done, I dry pat my face and the rest of my body.

Before heading to bed, I use L'Oreal Ideal Balance Clarifying Toner to remove left-over make-up and clean out my pores.

Finally, I use Oil of Olay Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle Replenishing Night Cream to prevent wrinkle ( I know I am 23 , but it's better to prevent than to do damage control). I really like this night cream, and personally I do not believe I would change it.

Weekly Routine

My weekly routine is quite bland. In fact, I am researching products to try! If you have any ideas, leave me a comment or e-mail!

For now, once a week, I use Joey New York Pure Pores Masque. It leaves my face refresh! I got lucky and found it at winners (By the way, it's a GREAT place to get facial product, especially professional  ones, at half the price!)

Neostrata has an awesome product line for all skin types; it is on the costly side- but well worth the investment & it lasts a fairly reasonable time. My skin is a bit on the oily/combination side- & theirs is the only line I have found that works wonders. (I purchase from Shoppers).

For an ex foliating scrub- the St. Ives Apricot scrub: blemish & blackhead control works wonders and it is fairly inexpensive.

A clay mask is also great for weekly masking; I use a Mary Kay clarifying mask.

PS. I'm with you on the anti-wrinkle, I've been using since I was 16:)
