SKINCARE TIP: If I don’t wear makeup, must I double-cleanse my skin in the evening?

January 18, 2024 Paris B 6 Comments

This is a question I get every now and then, which I answer privately. Whenever the subject of double-cleansing comes up, I am bound to be asked this – If I don’t wear makeup, must I still double-cleanse in the evening?

It’s only natural to wonder, because many people do find cleansing a chore. It shouldn’t be, because it really is the start of your skincare routine. A good skincare routine starts with a good cleanse and a good cleanser, because you should ensure that your skin is clean and ready for the rest of your skincare. There isn’t much point in spending a ton of money on the most expensive serum only to stint on your cleanser!

As to the question above, my answer, from the first day, has always been the same. Yes you do.

The humidifier: A must-have gadget for keeping dry skin hydrated and comfortable

If you have dry skin, and sleep in an air-conditioned room, have I got a tip for you!

No, it does not involve any new skincare. In fact, it doesn’t even involve any use of special skincare (although I would still use a nightly skincare routine – it’s not a replacement).

I discovered it purely by chance, but it’s one I’m happy to share so you don’t have to suffer dry skin anymore.

What you need is a humidifier 😀

The Water Flosser is the best personal care gadget gift you can ask for that you will use everyday

As much as I love beauty gadgets, I’m terrible at using them regularly. But there’s one personal care I got a few months ago, that I am sold on, and will use daily.

In fact, if I don’t use it daily, it feels like something’s missing from my routine.

This gadget is my water flosser, and if you know what’s good for you, you’d have it on your Christmas gift list 😀

My 3 Pillars of an anti-aging skincare routine

November 29, 2022 Paris B 14 Comments

You know what I love about skincare products and information these days? It’s that there is so much information out there, and so many products and brands that help us achieve what we want for our skin.

I used to broadly focus on 2 areas of skin concerns in the past – hydration and anti-aging. While trying to find products that suited this ‘anti-aging’ category, I realised that ‘anti-aging’ is such a broad category, with so many products that claim to be it. For my purposes, I decided to narrow it down further.

These days, there are 3 specific types of products in my skincare routine that I maintain to address my ‘anti-aging’ concerns. These concerns are primarily lines, skin firmness and dull skin.

Why would it concern me if I don’t make a fuss about growing older, you ask? Well, because I’m vain – as are most people! 😛 😀
