My Simple Yet Effective Beauty Regimen




If there is one thing that I am truly obsessed with, that is taking care of my skin. I have been addicted to whitening soaps and mositurizers. But of course I only buy the trusted ones.

For my face,
I wash with Cyleina Black Pearl Soap (an organic licorice soap) and I combine it with Ysa papaya soap. I leave it on my skin for at least 1 minute. After washing my face, I apply Pond's White Beauty Toner and Pond's White Beauty facial lotion. Afterwards, I apply Nivea Q10 eye cream. I make sure that the eye cream and moisturizer are applied evenly. Afterwards, I put on a very light make-up starting with a whitening make-up base and finishing it with Garnier whitening face powder. Before sleeping, all else is the same except for the make-up of course, I finish it with a baby milk powder instead. This prevents my face to be oily during an overnight sleep.

For my body,
I use this A Bonne Milk salt scrub at least twice a week. This A Bonne Milk Salt helps whiten the skin especially the critical parts like underarms, groin etc. I love that milk salt because it smells so delicious. It smells like milk. Anyway, once my body is all wet, I scrub it with the milk salt concentrating on underarms, butt, groin and feet. The other parts are well-scrubbed as well. I leave the milk salts for atleast 10 minutes and then I rinse it afterwards.
Once the salts are completely rinsed out, I wash my body using Ysa / Likas Papaya soap. These papaya soaps are known for their organic papaya components which effectively whitens the skin. I have been using them for ages now. and I am very pleased with the effects. Anyway, after lathering with papaya soap, I lather for another round but this time with Cyleina soap (organic licorice soap). So basically, my style is combining two different soaps. Well, the two soaps that I am using are both for whitening.
After bathing, while my skin is still damp, I apply this milk yoghurt whitening lotion all over my body, and when I say all over my body, it covers everything such as my neck, feet, butt, underarms, groin and everything else. I let the lotion dry on my skin then I apply baby milk powder on my body. Perfume / cologne will follow.

I am blessed to have a fair and nice skin. This would not be possible of course without a daily dose of my vitamins which consist of Vitamin C, multivitamins, Vitamin E and Calcium Lactate. I drink lots of liquid, I eat healthy I DO NOT smoke.

Well aside from buying properties, taking care of your skin (and your health of course) is definitely a good and I must say a very smart investment!:p
