Skin Care

I had the first in a series of 20 diamond peel sessions today at Facial Care Centre. I am also availing of their Laser Light treatment aside from the diamond peel. Since I'm now considered a regular client, they offered a really good anniversary promo. My skin isn't looking its best nowadays. I've been sleeping less than 8 hours a day for a couple of weeks now. Lack of sleep greatly affects the skin and this explains the breakouts and my skin seemingly looking tired. Argh. :-( I've always been very particular about my skin and I do invest in products from skin care to make up.

Here's my simple skin regimen:
1. Eight hours of sleep is important. If we lack sleep, it shows.
2. Drink eight glasses of water everyday to keep it hydrated. Drinking lots of water also cleanses the body.
3. Moisturize. Well I try to do this twice a day. If I can't, I moisturize before I go to bed.
4. Avoid the sun. The UV rays dries up the skin and it can cause spots and freckles. Should you be going under the sun, apply sun block.
5. Unscented soaps and cleansers are best for the face. I hardly use soap on my face. I've always used Shu Uemura's Purifying Oil to remove make up and at the same time, this is already my soap.
6. Remove warts on a yearly basis. This does wonders on the skin as it looks clearer after two weeks from the removal.
7. I buy make up that is good for Asian skin. Shu Uemura is one. MAC is also a good brand and it doesn't cause allergies.
8. Smile often. This is the cheapest solution of them all. :-)
