Last year, I experienced a severe skin outbreak for the first time in my life, and it persisted for four months, coinciding with one of the most crucial professional periods in my life. This period was a true eyeopener for me. After undergoing numerous tests, consulting various dermatologists, monitoring my nutrition, stress levels, and sleep patterns, my skin gradually began to clear up. Fortunately, it didn’t leave any scars, which had been my primary concern.
This experience got me to reevaluate all the skincare products I was using, leading me to a thorough brand research. My current daily routine starts with two glasses of water in the morning, followed by my long-standing ritual of lemon water, which I have faithfully consumed for over a decade. Then I workout, followed by dry brushing my entire body before showering.
For showing I favor brands like Act+Acre and Corpus or Orris. After showering, I apply a C+E Serum, followed by B3 and Barrier Restore Serum by Marie Veronique. Along with the serums I also do daily face massages, and also use ice roller in the morning. I complete my skincare routine with Suntegrity Impeccable Skin SPF30, which is tinted and provides sufficient coverage, eliminating the need for additional facial covering. I usually add mascara, blush, and lip balm or color, mostly by Ilia, Westman Atelier, and Kosas.
For body care, I have been using Osea body oil or anti-aging body balm. I am a big fan of Corpus deodorants, and I have various different ones by them. At night I wash my face thoroughly and apply Marie Veronique gentle Retinol four times a week, three times a week I use Multi-Retinol Night Emulsion. I am also a fan of using face scrubs and masks once or twice a week. Recently, I have incorporated Lesse face scrub into my routine, which is gentle and suits my skin type. I have discovered the incredible benefits of Korean face masks, thanks to a friend who generously stocked me up.
