i was recently browsing through some old and outdated fashion magazines and i came across this in a makeup section which i couldnt agree more on - the key to looking flawless starts with your skin as healthy glowing skin is the perfect canvas to makeup.
Lots of people do not like to hear this, but it’s true. And such a fact may take quite a lot of work to get your skin looking its very best.
"Fact 1: We are all born with perfect skin. That’s bittersweet because the majority of us think we will never be to attain such perfection again. Ah! But there’s hope: even though it may take some time and effort it is achievable.
Fact 2: Good healthy skin needs a regimen for upkeep. You can only get away for so long with washing your face with soap and water. You already know the mantra: cleanse, tone and moisturise so keep it up.
Fact 3: Using the best makeup does not substitute for a poor skin care routine. Good makeup can only do so much if you’re not taking care of your skin otherwise."
well, i dont have super good skin but im definitely having much better skin since my adolescent years. so today, i thought i might just share with you guys how i keep my skin healthy and clear.
my job requires makeup, tons of it (depending on how the makeup artist likes to paint her canvas), so i ALWAYS make sure i remove my makeup thoroughly. to sleep with makeup on is a sure way to get some instant zits.

then of course, i wash my face. ettusais has a unique bar soap instead of a liquid face wash which is awesome because it encourages you to lather up and use the bubbles instead of putting harsh soap directly on your face.
next up is to tone the skin, but for most japanese skin care, a softener takes the place of a toner. the softener primes your skin so that it absorbs your moisturiser and whatever good stuff you apply later on. i like!
and my favourite part of the routine is to moisturise! to me, moisturising makes a HUGE difference to the skin the next morning. i love this watery moisturiser by ettusais as i mentioned before cus i hate applying heavy products on my skin before i sleep.
last but not least, i powder my face. you must be thinking, WHAT?! after all the efforts to cleanse the skin now i powder it and go back to square one? hold your horses now, ettusais has this medicated night time defense powder which actually smoothens your skin and absorbs extra sebum and locks in the moisture.
will it clog my pores you ask. nope! because the fine powder particles are 1/10 the size of the moisturiser's particles. if your moisturiser doesnt clog your pores, of course this wouldnt!
sounds like a looonnnnggg and troublesome regimen? well, it isnt actually, the whole process takes only about 5mins daily (lesser than the time you take to read this whole entry. haha) and in exchange for good skin? more than worth it. remember, dont be lazy and be on your way to having a fabulous makeup canvas!
