My Skin Care Routine Using The Ordinary Products

Image
By
The Ordinary brand is such a simple yet effective solution to skin care problems and I've been experimenting with different products from the brand. 

I've tried:

Lactic acid 

Marine hyaluronics 

Granactive retinoid 

Niacinamide 

Vitamin C 23% suspension

Hemi squalene oil 

Borage seed oil 

Glycolic toning solution 

The spf 15 

Looking at the list, it's amazing what a year can do! I've had most of the serums for more than 6 months and it's certainly worth every penny.

I don't use the lactic acid anymore but the others feature in my routine all the time, except Borage seed oil which is for my hair. 

Marine hyaluronics 

I use this after my toner to hydrate the skin..

I follow with either Niacinamide or vitamin C serum. 

I use the glycolic toning solution about 2x a week after cleansing. Check here  for the reviews of these serums. 

The Granactive retinoid is a night serum which has anti aging benefits

The last exfoliating product I want to try is the BHA peeling solution after which I'll move on to more of oils. 

In addition, I'll be trying the Azelaic acid, Ascorbic acid with alpha arbutin, the retinol 1% and a couple of the antioxidants too.

Stay tuned for more skin care updates.

Placenta In Your Hair

By
Placenta or the popular brand, Placentyne leave in treatment has been with us for ages!  Keratin, which hair is made of, is a strong protein that can break down with sun exposure, wind, pollutants, daily maintenance, manipulation, heat tools, and chemical treatments like permanent color. This is where using protein treatments come in to help temporarily repair the hair strands. Protein treatments are used to add strength and resiliency to damaged hair by attaching hydrolyzed proteins directly to the hair follicle and hardening the cuticle layer. If there are holes in the hair cuticle, it will fill those holes or gaps while also placing a barrier around the hair shaft to lessen further damage. Most protein treatments are conditioning treatments. They can come be a deep conditioner, light, or reconstructor (heavy) (source:https://www.naturallycurly.com)  This placenta for hair acts as a protein reconstructor! This means it's a hard protein treatment  and should therefore strengthen y...

How To choose The Ordinary Vitamin C Serum

By
If you missed the post on the types of vitamin C serums carried by The Ordinary, then, just go through it and come back to this. Paula's Choice and The Ordinary seem to have a lot in common when it comes to formulations and I love that! Let's start with the highest form which is the L-ascorbic acid. This is found in the The Ordinary Vitamin C silicone and vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%.   Much like our Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% formula, this product also offers a suspension but in light silicones for a smooth, non-gritty skin finish. Despite the very light forms of silicones used, silicones do impair dermal exposure to Vitamin C slightly but the additional (30%) concentration of Vitamin C helps compensate for this slight inefficiency. A very strong tingling but non-irritating sensation is expected during the first 1-2 weeks of use until the skin's tolerance to such high exposure is elevated. If desired, this formula can be diluted in a cream base pe...
