Skincare Routine

Assalamu'alaikum sistahs! Today, I am going to be doing a post on my skincare routine. So, I would say I suffer from problematic skin, I have oily-combo skin and I can tell you it is the hardest thing taking care of my skin. I have tried so many products to help my skin. Having problematic skin also means that my skin reacts to some products in unpleasant ways so I have to be careful with what I use too. This is my current skincare routine as my skin care is always always changing as my skin does as it pleases. At the moment, this is what seems to be working for me. So I switch between two face washes every two days. I use the simple moisturising facial wash on days where my skin is not too bad as it is very gentle on the face and doesn't make my skin react to it. Nothing too special about it but I would recommend it if your skin is super sensitive and reacts to almost anything. And then I have my life-saving face wash which I really really adore, Clean & Clear exfoliating daily wash, for days when my skin is out of control and has gone crazy. I love this face wash because it is so gentle to my skin, it has small micro beads in it too which exfoliates the skin and instantly I can feel that my skin has been cleaned out properly. It also makes my skin feel so much smoother and softer. After I use this face wash my skin has a natural glow. I really love it. I use it two times a day. The next product in my skincare routine it the Nivea Visage Gentle Refreshing toner which is absolutely amazing, it removes any excess makeup or impurities making your skin completely clear. It also smells so amazing and it is perfect for everyday use. It makes my skin feel fresh and hydrated. I also use the skin therapy cleansing lotion, it removes any excess makeup and mascara, it is moisturising and cleanses my skin. Nothing too special about that either but I use it anyway. Lastly, what I use to remove my makeup are the Pampers baby wipes as they are so much more gentle than makeup removing wipes, they are super soft and make my skin feel smooth like a baby's bottom. I find that it also removes more makeup than regular makeup removing wipes. Those are the main products I use to take care of my skin however I also think it is important to moisturize your skin and keep it hydrated. I don't use any special moisturiser, I just pick up whatever moisturiser I can find and it does the job. You should also drink plenty of water as being healthy and hydrated on the inside means it will show on the outside. I also wash my face with just water as many times in a day as I can as it is a natural source and gentle to the skin. That's all I really do, what do you do to take care of your skin?
