This time of pandemic, the blemish-free days seems to be a thing of the past. For many, issues such as mask acne flare-ups, inability to go to skincare salon and dull skin due to lack of sunlight exposure made them implement changes in their skincare routine to control issues. Majority are washing or moisturizing their face more often than pre-pandemic; and most have expanded their routine to include more products like serum.
But if you are a skincare newbie, don’t feel pressured to use all sorts of products all at once just to say goodbye to bad skin days. It’s best to go slow and steady, still focusing on these three basic skincare steps: cleansing (washing your face), toning (balancing the skin’s pH level), and moisturizing (or hydrating to keep it smooth).
For cleansing, you can go for a facial foam or a micellar water product for daily use, then supplement with a facial scrub once or twice a week.
Tone, Moisturize, and Treat!
Now here are 3 simple skincare additions from Face Republic for those who are on the journey to achieving clear skin this pandemic:
After cleansing, make sure to use exfoliant toner mild enough for daily use. Keep in mind that dead skin cells don’t easily say bye-bye on their own (although the skin regenerates every 27 days).
You can use one of Face Republic’s #purepreptrio, AHA/BHA Toner. It has salicylic acid to clear up pimples –exfoliating dead skin cells without irritation, and leaving the skin flawless, smooth, and radiant.
An essential in skincare regimen to help achieve that radiant glow, AHA/BHA toner can be used daily. Just soak cotton pads and gently sweep over your face in an upward motion, avoiding the eye area. As one of the best-selling anti-acne toners all over Southeast Asia, this stuff is also made with clean ingredients and cruelty-free processes.
To compensate for the exfoliation, another product that gives extra TLC is the CICA Gel Moisturizer. Perfect during skin flare-ups, it contains CICA, short for Centella Asiatica, a well-known leafy herb used to soothe irritation and treat wounds; and Tea Tree Oil that helps ease skin inflammation and acne scars.
Lightweight, Feathery, and non-sticky. A real celebrity in Korean skincare products because of the myriad benefits it offers, this #MoistureMustHave relieves skin troubles with an extra kick of hydration. So after toning, remember to gently pat the product onto the skin. Do not rub to avoid damaging your skin’s elasticity.
Now the basic cleanse-tone-moisturize routine is well and good. However, it helps to add just one more super product to treat and target specific skin issues. A serum, essence, ampoule, acid, or even a sheet mask are good products to consider as these are usually loaded with a higher concentration of active ingredients to address a specific concern.
So to top off the routine, #KeepCalm and treat your skin with Calming Blemish Madeca Serum!
It contains Madecasosside that gently calms textured and sensitive skin while stimulating collagen production for a healthier skin, plus Tea Tree to soothe maskne and other skin troubles.
This serum is formulated without any added artifical colors and fragrance. It’s sensitive-skin friendly, too, fitting for those who are oily and acne-prone. To use, simply apply an appropriate amount onto face and neck after using toner. Then gently pat for better absorption.
