Lets see my routine skin care and ok, total skin care of all seasons. To begin with let me start with my skin type. From various skin determining tests I got the result that I have a normal skin, yet my skin type changes from season to season. Usually during monsoon or rainy season I have really oily skin, that I have pimples more in this season, during winter I have dry skin and in summer I have dry skin during day time and afternoon I have oily skin. Even though I have these “ combinations” of skin types its not that extent so my skin care regimen is not that tiresome.:)
Daily care:
The daily skin care I do to my skin is that cleansing and moisturizing. I now use Everyuth lemon face wash for winter but its leave my skin stretchy sometimes. But it is solved by using a moisturizer. I like this face wash as it removes my pimples to an extent and makes my face bright for the day. For body I use Camay soap daily. Even though I have dry skin I don't like a oily look on my face, so I use clean and clear oil free moisturizer and Himalaya sun screen with spf 15. I use Ayur almond nourishing cream as night cream( which I will review shortly). I take care to tie my hair away from face at night and change my pillow covers and bed sheets twice a week. I avoid touching my face during day and night. I am always very careful while using a facial product , and OMG because of all this I never get a breakout. Except for one or two pimples once in two months.
Weekly:
Even though I never believe in toning daily. I will use a toner once a week before putting on a face pack. Rose water is my toner.
I use Himalaya neem face pack for getting rid of pimples and for enriching my skin I use DIY face packs at home. Honey face pack is my favorite as it moisturize my skin and leave it supple.
I also use curd(yogurt) on my face. I use milk and oats pack to make my skin brighter and also use lemon as a bleach.I use ice massage to reduce my pore lengths .
I use both 'buy and use' scrubs from shops and also home made scrubs. Nature essence apricot scrub is my favorite. I never used St.Ives scrub which is still in my wish list. I use amla powder (indian gooseberry) on my face as a natural scrub.
I will try to have a hot oil massage at winter to make my skin happy :). I mix drops of almond oil and milk to make my skin supple. I use Pond's daily body lotion for my body( and also Ayur body lotion when I get bored) + Vaseline 24 hours moisturizer for hands and feet.
