Moisturizing Routine

Over the time, with age, weather conditions, and treatment with my acne has brought up changes for my skin.

One apparent example I notice is that after taking a bath my skin looks fresh and dry, but after a bit of exposure outside I easily grease up.
Probably this is my body’s reaction for dryness. Initially I thought I have an oily skin. But with age, I started to have fine lines around my eyes and I wanted to do something about it. That is the time I consider applying a moisturiser.

This is tricky for me for me as I thought some moisturiser is not good for acne prone skin. I don’t particularly remember which moisturiser I use for the first time after having acne but I will tell you which moisturiser I use now.

Hot Summer Time calls for Nivea Cream

I discover this routine with a roommate of mine and until now I use it especially the temperature here in the Philippines is ranging 35 degrees Celsius up to 40. Right now I usually use it before makeup when going to work. At night, I put on the outer corner of my eyes (avoiding the under eye area because I easily get  fine lines there) and on my cheeks and forehead together with the spot treatment for acne Benzac.



Tropical Winter (Amihan or South East Monsoon) calls for Myra E Vita White Moisturizer

On colder days I notice that my normal moisturizing routine has a different effect on my skin. I tried to change it and have a bit of a trial and error. It is not 100% perfect but it will suffice for now. I use Myra E Vita White here in the Philippines whereas in Dubai I use Vichy Facial Cream courtesy of my friend. Please refer to my previous article on how I use it click here.

With the use of moisturizer my skin has its youthful glow on it even without makeup. I still oil up but not too much unlike when I didn’t moisturize.

On putting make-up I use it before foundation. It helps my skin not to dry up quickly.
