Dull… gloomy… depressing… are just some of the words that best describes winter. As winter approaches, I like to keep myself in high spirits and think about the amount of self-care I can do (I really need to learn to take better care of myself during the other 3 seasons lol). My aim for this post is to show you all that winter doesn’t have to be dull, gloomy or even depressing, I mean how can it be, when we have all these beautiful modern modest wear that we can get from Haya Collective for winter and Ramadan (click here to read my blog post on Winter fashion for the Hijabie). Not only that, think about all the amazing make up looks you can create for winter (watch this space).
To me life just gets more exciting everytime I think about dressing up, I mean I don’t have to go anywhere, I can still dress up and sit at home in front of my laptop and write articles on reviews and fashion and well basically anything. But that all sounds just dandy when it actually comes down to it, I suck at keeping a routine. I mean who has time to cleanse, tone, moisturise and put serums etc at night? All I want to do some nights is get into bed and sleep. But for the sake of this article I have attempted building a regium thats easy and super quick. So Here is my step to step guide to help you get the best skin you can this winter.
My Product of choice for cleanser is The Bodyography Daily Cleanser, which I use morning and evening, it foams up beautifully and helps clean my face and makes my skin feel refreshed. The paraben-free formula is infused with peppermint extract, which gives a slight cooling sensation (not as good as the Nivia for men kind of feel that I love but the Bodyography Daily Cleanser does the job). With the Vitamins A, C, & E and Seaweed Extract that helps to lock in moisture and protects my skin against the terrible pollutants.The cleanser helps keeps skin feeling hydrated and refreshed and doesn’t feel dry after.
I then go ahead and use my Bodyography Brighting and balancing Toner. This toner literally brightens and tightens my skin, and is completely alcohol free. A part form the brightening and tightening feature of this toner, it has Glycolic Acid which exfoliates dead skin cells and dark pigment, and increases Collagen and Elastin to give ar plump, firm, and hydrated skin which is perfect for the winter weather. The toner cleans my pores and prevents breakouts and blackheads. The toner contains Multi Fruit Complex which contributes to a lighter and brighter complexion, while the Sodium Hyaluronate and Vitamins A, C & E help lock in moisture to plump and protect my skin.
Once that is all done with the toner, I either use my RVB simply white peel. The RVB Simply White white peel gel, assists in removing acne and acne scarring, as well as helping hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. The strong regenerating action also helps diminish large pores & uneven skin texture, fine lines and excess oil with visible results. I normally leave the peel on for about 10mins, and once I wash it off, I go ahead and use my Mask. For Mask I use my Bodyography Hydrating mask. It’s formulated with age-defying antioxidant fruit and plant extracts, this remarkably active mask hydrates skin while improving texture and reducing dryness and fine lines. The antioxidants like Watermelon, Green Tea, and apple fruit extract gives my skin a healthy boost and a beautiful natural glow. I leave the mask on for 20-25mins with cucumbers on my eyes.
Once I washed all the mask off, I tone my face once again to remove any left over mask that may have not got washed away. Once the toning is done, I moisturize with Am/Pm Moisturizer from Bodyography. The Bodyography Am/ Pm moisturizer is a light and luxurious cream formulated to moisturize, firm, and lift the skin for a bright and youthful appearance that I need. The Linoleic Acid helps to calm and moisturize my skin, while the peptides and essential fatty acids provides me with anti-aging benefits. This moisturizer creates a soft, youthful skin, and protect against breakouts which I love. The Bodyography AM/PM Moisturizer helped retain the moisture in my skin providing a supple elasticity with the help of powerful amino acids. I also use the Bodyography Eye Serum, the serum feels ultra-luxurious eye Serum that lifts, firms, and perfect the eyes. With the RH-Polypeptide-7, which is a plant-derived ingredient, that mimics peptides, which helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles that accumulate over time. The alpine rose ingredient increases vitality and the quality of the skin barrier while the apple, shea butter, and glycerin soothe and hydrate my skin. This amazing eye serum visibly improves and restore my eye’s appearance.
