Hello out there,
hope y’all are doing good. I get a lot of questions about my skin because it looks “so clear” and stuff. So first of all I don’t think it is perfect and it was better some years ago when I skipped on dairy products. Every now and then I eat some cheese or parmesan etc., but still – I try to avoid it as much as possible because of my endometriosis in the first place.
However I also take “good” care of my skin I think. I think what really helps a lot, is doing sports and sweating – sounds weird but I feel when you’re sweating you are also sweating out all toxins. I don’t know, but if feels for me that way. Since I also got a bit lazy this year I can see that my skin is not that “perfect” anymore.
I know that a lot of people struggle with really bad skin and I know that feeling because when I was 19teen I had really the worst skin ever. Biggest pimples all over my face. I don’t really think that I have photos from that time because I couldn’t look into the mirror, but I will try to find some and do an update. I never struggled with bad skin in puberty and as you can imagine it was really weird to have a skin like this when you are actually out of puberty. However every bad story has a happy end I guess and it got better…
Now let’s go back to my skincare routine. Of course I don’t do all of that every single day… But one thing I always do is removing my make up no matter what time it is or how drunk I am after a party haha. I think it is the most important thing. I also clean it for several times to make sure everything is removed and wash it with some water afterwards. Furthermore I don’t wear make up often. I really have a lot of make up products for a person who doesn’t wear make up every day, but that’s the way it is. I only wear make up when I go out or when I know I take pictures. Also in summer when it is hot an you are sweating a lot I think that it is bad for your skin because heat opens up your pores and all the make up and dirt gets into it and causes bad skin (in my opinion). It’s just because I see a lot of girls wearing make up while at the beach or at the gym you name it, which I think is not a good idea.
So what I really use for a long time now is my clarisonic mia 2 together with the clinique face soap (it’s kind of a gel) and I use the one for dry to combination skin some times a week. Some years ago I also had the tonic water and the moisture cream from that clinique series. I think that worked very well for me. What I am also using for years now is my MAC mineralize peeling (once or twice a week). I love this stuff it’s kind of a volcanic ash and my skin is so soft after that. After peeling my face or washing it with the clarisonic I use a moisture cream. At the moment I switched to the ultra facial cream from Kiehl’s, but I also love that skin smoothing cream from Dermalogica (this one’s almost empty). But as I said I used the clinique series for years which worked also great for me. For me it is actually important that it’s as natural as possible because I don’t like to put hormones on my face (because a lot of skin products have hormones in it). I also like to use some natural oils for the night and massage it with that rose quartz roller into my face and some times I like to use that serum on the left it’s a vegan brand called “alverde” but I think you can get this only in Austria and Germany which is basically a serum out of olives.
So in the morning I use a moisture cream (and also before I would put on make up) and in the night I love to use an oil or a serum (or some times nothing at all) depends how dry my skin is, because sometimes I think that the skin needs to breathe too.
I hope this helps a bit and if you have any questions just leave me a comment. 🙂
Have a nice day,
Xx L.
