So, I posted a picture few weeks ago in my Instagram (IG) Stories
because I can’t help but be amazed on how my skin has become. It has never been
that clear and in very good condition in many years!
Originally, my skin was very oily and has experienced a lot
of acne. I had a very basic skin (s)care routine before. I just cleanse with a
very alkaline facial wash and tone with an alcohol-y astringent. I was also
very scared of moisturizers and of the thought of using oil on my oily skin. Sun
screen application only happens during Summer or on a beach trip.
Fast-forward today, I learned that the basic of all skin
care routine steps are always: cleanse, tone, moisturize. I also learned that
there are different types of moisturizers that even oily skin peeps can enjoy.
Oil for oily skin does not equate to a frying pan. Applying sun screen is
anti-aging. I also learned that listening and empathizing to what your skin
really needs is more important than having 10 or 20 skin care steps. “Take a
step back and press reset”, just like what Liah Yoo said.
Here is the picture that I posted in my IG stories.

| I just slathered on sun screen, concealed healing acne spots and set it all with powder. Of course, kilay is life! |
Hopefully next time, I can share my bare face with a better
texture. *Crossing fingers* I have skin aging concerns aside from getting
post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from hormonal acne. I may need to
incorporate another product for that or tweak something in my life. LOL
How about you, how’s your skin care journey? Please share
all about it! \(^o^)/
