Skin Care For Harmattan

Harmattan dryness can cause your skin to be flaky and wrinkled but there are some solutions you can implement even before this happens.

1. Hyaluronic Acid : This potent ingredient can be found in washes, serums and even moisturisers. Incorporate one into your routine to boost the moisture in your skin. One of the nest ways is through the serum itself. There are many affordable brands out there so you don't need to splurge on it.

2. Hdrating toner: Using them before your serums adds to the moisture and ensures that the skin stays hydrated for longer periods. Essence toners like the Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence Toner will be a good choice during this period of the year.

2. Face oil: Adding oils to your routine will lock in moisture too so find an affordable one to use. When the skin becomes too dry, it requires a lot of efforts to treat it therefore it's best to be proactive.

3. Oil based Sunscreen provide extra glow during harmattan season. My favourite is the Nivea Spf 50 from UK. Without even a moisturizer, your skin will stay hydrated all day.

How I make forever Clair Skin care products work for me

I've heard ladies complain about the forever Claire Skin care products not working for them. Well, I nearly became one until I tweaked how I use it and since then, it's been a jolly good ride. I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own. When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface. One evening, I skipped the cleansing and decided to follow Hubby's method of cleaning his face. I used my sponge to gently rub the FC product on the face. This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and cl...

The 60 Seconds Skin Care Rule

The 60 seconds rule regarding washing your face is a great technique that has been used by a lot of skin care addicts. When washing your face, the one trick that can make a lot of difference in your skin is washing for 60 seconds! Once you apply your facial wash/cleanser/soap, you massage or sweep it around your face for 60 seconds. This allows the cleanser to penetrate the pores and clear the dirt off your skin. All the make up can also be easily absorbed by your cleansing oil too. I began doing this technique a few weeks ago and it's definitely helped improve the feel of my skin after cleansing.
