The Skincare Tag

1. Describe your skincare routine in five words.

          I'm too lazy for continuity. Basically I just give up on products before finishing them. 

2. What's your skin type?

          Oily and acne prone.

3. What's your favorite skincare product?

          Mattifyers and astringents/toners.

4. Top blemish zapper?

          I have so many. Usually something with salicylic acid since I don't like benzoyl peroxide. 

5. Face wipes... Yay or nay?

          Nay. Unless it's for emergencies. 

6. Toner... Yay or nay?

          Yay definitely!

7. High end skincare or high end makeup?

          "Porqué no los dos?" Haha. But really, high end skincare. If your skin looks better, it will reflect on any kind of makeup you wear. 

8. You're in a French pharmacy and can only buy one item, what would it be?

           I feel like this is a trick question because come on, I'm pretty sure everyone's going to pick Bioderma. Haha. Though, I would like to try something from La Roche Posay.

9. Top skincare tip?

          This is going towards oily skins since it's the only one I know of. Don't skip moisturizer. I know sometimes you may feel like you don't need it because your face "already produces enough oil" but trust me, you need to moisturize. If you don't, and your skin underneath gets dry, you're just giving it the more reason to produce oil. I've had my nose (which is the oiliest part of my face) peel from dryness or sunburns and it still gets oily. You need to keep it balanced. I'd suggest an oil control moisturizer like the Clean & Clear mattifying one or the gel moisturizer from Clinique. I've tried both and they're really good at keeping my face feeling moisturized without looking extra oily. If you don't like to use moisturizer during the day, then use a normal one only at night time. Your skin will thank you for it.
