I have never been so diligent with my skincare routine until I reached 35. Well, even at my age now, I still get lazy and skip some steps in my skincare routine.
I want to age gracefully, that is why I am making the extra effort to take care of my skin. I don’t know if it is just me, but whenever my skin is healthy, smooth, and brighter, I feel good about myself. And it gives me the confidence to face the day!
I am gonna share with you my skincare for my face and body.
For my body, I use an exfoliating soap twice a week and a moisturizing soap for the days I’m not using the exfoliating soap. Then, after I shower, I apply Havvida's Shea Body Butter on my skin. I prefer using the shea body butter over lotion. Havvida's Shea Body Butter is packed with natural fats which maximizes the softness of my skin. The best thing about this body butter is that it is non-greasy and non-sticky while making my skin silky smooth and moisturized!
I have two exfoliating soaps that I use alternately. Both soaps are gentle exfoliators. They are skin-friendly and don’t give any harmful reaction to my skin since they are chemical-free.
Havvida’s Natural Apricot Exfoliating Soap - this exfoliating soap is made with natural apricot seeds which exfoliate and brighten the skin, sweet almond oil that removes dark spots, lemongrass that controls acne and blemishes, and goat’s milk that moisturizes and heals damaged skin.
Havvida’s Sunflower Exfoliating Soap - this exfoliating soap is formulated with naturally derived sunflower wax beads that exfoliate dead skin cells, it is rich in vitamin E content that controls acne and oily skin, and infused with natural oils, shea butter, and farm-fresh goat milk that nourish and hydrate the skin.
For my face, I have two sets of skin care - - - one set is for my morning routine, and the other for my evening routine. But, sometimes, I try to use some morning skin care products in my evening skincare routine and vice versa.
So here you go!
I start my morning skincare with Havvida’s Mint Exfoliating Facial Polish. I must say, this is one of my favorite skincare products! I love the mint scent, which by the way, is my favorite scent! This exfoliating facial polish rejuvenates and gives my skin instant polish after use. I use Havvida’s Mint Exfoliating Facial Polish once or twice weekly. Then, I use the Havvida Vitamin C Cleaner. This is a gel cleanser packed with vitamin C which enhances collagen production, vitamins A and E which soften my skin, and ginkgo biloba leaf extract which enhances blood flow circulation of my skin.
After cleansing, I spray Havvida’s Antioxidant Toner on my face. This is made with a blend of plant extracts which minimize the appearance of pores. Then, I apply Havvida’s Firm Serum. I don’t apply the serum on my entire face. I normally apply it under my eye and skin around my mouth. After, I apply Havvida’s Oil Control Hydrator. What I like about this moisturizer is that it is greaseless while moisturizing my skin and helps control excess oil production. Lastly, I use sunscreen to protect my skin and block UV radiation from being absorbed by my skin. Currently, I am using the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen.
My evening skincare routine starts with Havvida’s Vitamin C Cleanser and followed by Havvida’s Vitamin C Toner. The Vitamin C and green tea extract infused in this toner stimulate collagen production. It also has algae extract that tightens skin, and the witch hazel minimizes the appearance of pores. Then, I apply Havvida’s Active Eye Cream. This cream helps tighten those fine, sensitive lines around my eyes. This is also formulated with Spilanthes Acmella flower which makes the skin firm and reduces wrinkling. After, I use one of Havvida’s serums. Once a week, I use the Havvida Anti-Aging Rose Gold Oil. This serum helps restore my youthful glow by regulating my skin’s oil production and balancing skin hydration. Also, it helps boost collagen formation and brightens my skin. Three times a week, I use Havvida’s Niacinamide Vitamin Boost Serum. This serum is packed with vitamins C, B3 (niacinamide), and B5 which makes my skin plump, smooth, and moisturized. This helps evens out my skin tone. Lastly, I use Havvida’s Collagen and Retinol Serum three times a week. This serum has anti-oxidant properties and it heals scarring. Moreover, the collagen in this serum helps improve my skin elasticity while retinol increases skin cell production.
I am happy with how my skin turns out using the products mentioned above! And when my skin is healthy, I am more inspired to be my best self!
