First of all, I would like to talk about an unwritten rule that one should always keep in mind: beware of the INCI of your products. What's the INCI? Simple INCI, also known as International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, it's an international system of names for ingredients that are conteined in a product. The INCI system allows the consumer to identify the ingredient content in the product. The first ingredient of the INCI's list it is the major for percentage contained in the product and so on till the last one as the minor percentage of ingredient conteinded in a product. So if you buy a "Pure Argan Oil" that has "argania spinosa kernal oil" (argan oil) at one of the last positions, it is NOT a Pure argan oil. But this is the last of the problem, yes, you read well, because buying something that it is not what you have payed for, it is not the first problem that should concern you when you start reading your INCI's label. But you should whatch out for some really dangerous ingredients, that unfortunately, are the true protagonist in a lot of luxury cosmetics. The worst one? "Petrolatum, paraffinum liquidum o mineral oil", this ingredient contained in a lot of cosmetic, has been used in industry, as a lubricant for machinery. What happen when you put this ingredient on your skin? The petrolatum creates a film on your skin that doesn't allow air or water to penetrate. Do you really think that this would be healty for your skin? Nope! But, I will talk properly about INCI and how to read it, in the future.
Let's go back at our 5 Golden Rule for a kick-ass Beauty Regime.
Let's go back at our 5 Golden Rule for a kick-ass Beauty Regime.
Rule 1: ALWAYS remove your make up very carefully. Once you washed your face and wiped off all the make up, wash it again! You wouldn't never imagine what your skin can hide from you. Why this is important? Would you ever allow your theet to lay with or the bacteria in your mouth without brush them in the morning before leaving for work? Ditto. Choose the right product for you, beware of your skintype, INCI, and try to listen at you skin during each month. I would never use the same soap I use on my skin during my period for the rest of the month.
Rule 2: Moisturize at least once a day. You should use different kind of cream for differend kind of skin, age and also season. Why? Do you take your Omega 3 for your heart? Well, your skin it is an important organ as anything else in your body, and you should treat it with care.
Rule 3: Scrub. At least once a week. You should help your skin to replace the dead one.
Rule 4: Face Mask. Once a week have fun and allow yourself to enjoy a little treat as a face mask. You can also make one by yourself. Homemade beauty treatments are the best. 100% natural, and you can make them with products found in your kitchen cupbard. Wold you like an esample?
Honey Face Mask and Scrub:
1 spoon honey
1 spoon white yougort
1 spoon oat meal
1/2 spoon lemon juice
Mix the ingredients all together. Wash your face. Apply your homemade mask. Scrub for 30 seconds. Leave it for 15 minutes before rinsing of with warm water, and done! It was fun, wasn't it?
Rule 5: Tonic. Cold water it is just efficient as a fancy tonic. But either way, you'll feel the difference.
So for a correct skin therapy daily routine, you should: Cleanse, scrub, face mask, tonic and moisturize.
Use good INCI products as much as you can, follow the rules, and after only 4 weeks (of every day dediction), you'll see how your skin can be grateful.
