Daily Routine

Since my last post, I didn't update you about my routine.
From where I left you I had my skin really stressed and when I went to the Philippines this past summer, I had almost a severe acne. Thankfully I tried to do facial cleansing once a week in a Spa and my skin reacted very well to their treatment. In fact, now I feel more comfortable with my skin, I have some dark spots on my face but I know that one day they will fade away.

Here's my daily routine:

1. I wash my face with warm/cold water and Facial Plus soap (they don't sell it online but these are the ingredients: Coconut Oil, Biosulfur, Sodium Silicate, Salicylic Acid, Lye Solution, Glycerin).

2. After drying my face with a clean towel I use Acne-Drying Toner by Facial Plus (ingredients: Salicylic Acid, Water, Ethyl Alcohol, Resorcinol).

3. I apply Quadwhite Cream by Facial Plus (with Vitamin-C, L-Glutathione, Kojic Acid & Papaya Extract). They recommend this as a whitening cream.

4. I apply Spot-less Rosy White Day Cream for Oily Skin by Ponds to speed up the whitening effect.

5. I apply sunscreen Melascreen SPF 50+ by Ducray to protect my dark spot from the UV.

6. I do my makeup routine (changes with the seasons).

Products I Use for My Acne Skin/Scars

Hello guys! This is my first time speaking openly about my acne issue, I did some picture review before and unfortunately I didn't update you about it. My skin after 1 year has improved but now I'm fighting against the scars, that this acne has left me. I already booked an appointment with the dermatologist to listen what she recommends me to use/buy, but strangely my family doctor (that majored also in plastic surgery) told me to be careful with the derma because sometimes they can tell you to buy/use some useless products that lead you to just spend money.
We know (especially women/girls) that beauty is expensive but we have also to keep in mind that we have to use wisely our money, so don't buy the first thing you see or other people recommend you, especially if it concerns your skin (face), do always some research.
Now let's get to the point, here's the list of the products I used during this journey, I'm not recommending you to follow all these step, because it most likely won't work. I am here to show you the importance of being patience and determined to obtain what you want.

Products I used on my skin per 1 year(they are in order of use)

Sleeping pack
 Kiss - skincare by Malissa (Thailand)

These are what I used for 1 year until now, not all concurrently but I saw that they were really effective on me. Just a reminder, you don't have to use them, it's up to you if you want them to try.
In an another post I'll try to explain more specifically my routines, because I changed them time to time to see more improvements or just to balance.
P.s. I have combined-oily skin.

Urban Dollkiss - Brightening

After using the C20 serum (also called O.S.T), I was searching for an alternative less expensive, so searching I found this product from Urban Dollkiss. I was really curious, especially because it had a cute packaging and it was in sale. While waiting, I found out that I ordered the wrong one and also that I didn't checked that it wasn't a serum but a sleeping pack.
So now I have this product by accident and I'm reviewing it.

Urban - Dollkiss

Packaging
The product came as a medium orange apple with the petiole as the pump, in a white rectangular packaging with a transparent window where you can see clearly the cute apple.


Smell
It has a light fragrance, really comfortable to use in the night especially for who can't stand strong sleeping pack.

On my skin
I use 3-4 pumps of it and unlike to another sleeping pack I used it's really light. Not sticky and the skin absorbed it really easily.

I used this product in alternate with Versien - Pig Collagen Full Sleeping Pack .



Pig Collagen - Versien

Hello guys! It was almost a year that I was thinking to buy a collagen for my skin and finally I found it! I would like to introduce you the Pig Collagen by Versien. This product online does not have enough review and honestly I bought it just because it was on sale. I don't know much about "Collagen" products, I just thought trying it.

Pig Collagen - Versien



Packaging
The product came with a circle pink jar in a pinkish box as well. Once you open it, it has a polystyrene protection cup and a little white spatula.

Collagen : is the main protein in the human body and is the substance that holds the whole body together. In cosmetic it is used as a healing aid or as a treatment for wrinkles and skin aging. 

Smell
Its fragrance is really delicate and sweet and I don't know why it reminds me of Krystal (from f(x)). I don't know if everyone of you will love it but I assure you that it has a really nice smell (similar to white musk or lavender.

On my skin
When I used it for the first time, it gave me a nice feeling. It's not sticky at all and it really gave me a soft feeling. Its consistent is similar to the puddle; once I take some of the product, after one minute or 2, the hole I made with the spatula would disappear. It was amazing at first because I never had a product like this.

I used this product in alternate with the Urban Dollkiss - Brightening (orange one).
