Skincare upgrade

New Year, New Me. How many of us have said those words out loud in the last few weeks? How about we make it true? How about we put a completely new face on? Literally.

Here’s what I mean: most of women spend money on makeup, moisurizers and serums. Not many exfoliates. Not to mention- exfoliates the right way. We all know somebody who would scrub their face off it they could get away with the consequences. Why scrub, I ask? Use acid! Daily, gentle, or strong, once a week. But please, DO exfoliate.
I mean, in the last month, I got so many compliments on my skin. Not makeup. Skin. How cool is that? So listen to me (that random person on the Internet) and go get an exfoliator.

I have been using Deciem one for some time now. I would put it on once a week, keep for 10 min, then rinse with luke warm water. It’s a strong one. 30% , so be very cautious with it. Put some good moisturizer and sunscreeen, after exfoliating. If you can, skip makeup on the day you apply acid.

Now, some time ago, Glossier released Solution, which btw is sold out now.
Solution contains a particular 10% blend of three acid actives for maximum efficacy: Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), and Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA). It is much more gentle than the Ordinary one. You’re meant to use it daily. So I do. Every morning, after using Milky Jelly, before applying moisturizer. I have to say, exfoliation works magic. Literally, different skin. You need to give it time. It takes around 4 weeks to notice your new skin. But oh, oh wow, it’s worth the wait.
