Humm...this puts me on the spot uh?
Hehehe, I'm kinda tipsy on Cristal right now, BUT, I will try my best.
I believe that skincare should be deliberate and planned. It should also be methodical and done with purpose. In other words, it shouldn't be done for the sake of doing it, in other words, it should be done for the sake of change with the skin.
I think that the first step is a proper mask. The mask will assist in removing impurities and have secondary effects on the skin such as collagen production or firming or whatever. Right now I use St. Ives Clay Firming Mask.
The second step should be a good cleanser. The cleanser should address issues with the skin. For this step I prefer Biore's Ice Cleanser (or whatever the hell it's called), it makes you face feel cold and contains salsylic acid which assist in breaking down whiteheads and fights p.acnes which is the bacteria that form acne.
After the wash you'll want to tone with a cotton ball and a toner. For this I love using The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Toner. It's antibacterial and doesn't have any active ingredients. In other words, it will clean you skin without leave other things on it.
Follow-up with the Body Shop Mattifying Gel. This moisturizer comes from the same line as the toner but leaves your skin moisturized but without any shine or residue. A good residual of the product is that tea tree is antibacterial and it will do its part to fight acne, blemishes, and imperfections.
The last step is sunblock. I live in Canada and in the winter I don't use sunblock. I think that's contradictory to what I promote here, but I get out of the home at 3 p.m. and by that time the sun is so weak that a vampire can go out. A sunblock should be as high SPF as possible. Avoid oily products or products with a great deal of white residue.
To maintain glowing skin I use facials with Microdermabrasion. I think that they're expensive but definately worth the price.
Hopefully this helps. if you have any other questions please ask.
