My Spring time routine
Finally some sun and heat😊 and with that also comes a slightly shorter routine! When it gets wetter and warmer outside, my skin does not need as many steps as during the winter and I can usually shorten the routine quite a lot.
Here is my spring bass routine and how I use it! :)
Klairs gentle black deep cleansing oil. Massage into dry skin, add a little lukewarm water and massage until a soft white consistency appears, rinse everything thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Dr ceuracle tea tree purifina 30 foaming cleanser. Work up a lather and massage in on a damp face, preferably for a few minutes, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Klairs supple preparation facial toner. Warm up and increase the absorption by pouring a few drops into the palms by pulling the palms towards each other and then pressing the hands over the cheeks, chin, forehead and under the eyes. In the morning, I can sometimes apply this in several layers to really plump the skin and give it nourishment, moisture and radiance from within. This is perfect to do if you want to get a naturally moisturized look. I usually just apply a light bb-cream as the only make-up and then the moisture base shines through and it settles incredibly evenly and nicely.
Dr ceuracle royal vita propolis ampoule. 1-3 drops are enough :) I usually drip 1 drop directly into the forehead with the pipette and then heat 1-2 drops by pouring it into the palm of the hand and pulling the palms towards each other quickly, then I press in the serum by gently pressing palms over cheeks, forehead and chin, just as with the toner above.
Klairs awakening eye gel. I click out a click on the top of the ring finger and distribute between the eyes. I then dab gently with each ring finger from the inside out and also above the eye. It is important to be careful not to push too hard as the skin around the eyes is thinner than in the rest of the face. The cream has a lovely slightly gel-like texture that feels a bit cooling, which I love in the morning, because it feels like the whole anus seems to come to life then :) It contains caffeine and red bean extract, which together counteract dark circles under the eyes and reduce swelling under the eyes . It is absorbed quickly and fits perfectly before make-up!
Dr ceuracle cica regen anti-dust sun gel. Then I go straight to my all in one favorite with both moisture and sunscreen in one that I massage into the whole face. This product thus contains both moisture, sun protection 50 and protects against free radicals in the environment such as exhaust gases and dust. Sufficient as a day cream during the summer.
Klairs illuminating supple blemish cream. Finishes as always with Klairs illuminating blemish cream to further provide some moisture, spf 40 and also give light coverage to red areas, pores and also a light and natural glow to the skin. If you have a darker skin tone or want a sun-kissed look, this can be mixed with a darker foundation, bb cream or gel. I mix it in the summer with sensai bronzing gel (gets married very well) to get that slightly sun-kissed look but at the same time get luster, moisture and sun protection from klairs illuminating blemish cream!
Evening routine
Klairs gentle black deep cleansing oil. Massage into dry skin, add a little lukewarm water and massage until a soft white consistency appears, rinse everything thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Dr ceuracle pro balance night enzyme wash. Work up a foam by mixing the powder with water and massaging for at least 1 minute before rinsing off with lukewarm water. This is an enzyme powder-based cleanser that removes dead skin cells and dirt while exfoliating the skin and increasing skin cell turnover.
Klairs supple preparation facial toner. In the evening, I first pour a few drops of this on a cotton pad (the hard variant of toner mate 2 in 1 pads) and sweep from the inside out over the entire face. In step 2, I warm up a few drops in the palms by pulling the palms towards each other and then pressing the hands over the cheeks, chin, forehead and under the eyes. This is to really get the product into the skin so that it is moisturized, gets a balanced pH value after cleansing and soothes and is plumped with all the nutrients from the toner.
Sheetmask.Klairs rich moist soothing mask and dr ceuracle tea tree purifine mask are two old favorites I always come back to! Perfect for soothing and moisturizing a slightly tired, sensitive and moisture-thirsty skin. I love to put these on when I feel a little sensitive in the skin, which can easily happen when the sun starts to appear or when you sit in front of the computer for long days. Tip! Put them in the fridge about 10 minutes before use for an incredibly nice cooling effect. Another mask I have started using is this Make P: rem comfort me brightening hole mask which is filled with wheat germ extract (full of vitamins and minerals) and vitamin C which boosts the luster and evens out the skin tone.
Klairs freshly juiced vitamin drops. I usually drip one drop into the forehead and one on each cheek and then gently massage and squeeze the serum into the skin. What is so nice about this serum is that it contains 5% vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to even out that fine natural luster, even out the skin tone by giving it works and bleaches brown spots / pigmentation and at the same time also prevents new pigment spots. It also increases the elasticity of the skin, which means that it is also a good anti-aging ingredient! However, always be careful with high spf, especially when using ascorbic acid (because it helps new skin cells that are more sensitive to the sun than the old ones).
Dr ceuracle royal vita propolis ampoule. I use this in the same way as in the morning routine and 2-3 drops will go a long way. I usually drip 1 drop directly into the forehead with the pipette and then warm up 1-2 drops by pouring it in the palm and pulling the palms towards each other quickly, then I press in the serum by gently pressing the palms over the cheeks, forehead and chin,
Klairs fundamental nourishing eye butter. I click out a click on the top of the ring finger and distribute between the eyes. I then dab gently with each ring finger inside and out. It is important to be careful not to push too hard as the skin under the eyes is thinner and more sensitive than the rest of the face.
Klairs midnight blue calming cream. In spring and summer, I usually wear this every night because it helps prevent pinging that I easily get from the sun. This works for manga as a spot treatment but can also be used as a cream for the whole face. It gives an incredibly nice cooling effect on the skin and feels directly soothing on the skin. It contains, among other things, Guajazulen which is a plant-based component that is extracted from chamomile oil and which soothes and builds up the skin (perfect after sun product). It is also the Guajazule that gives the cream its natural blue color. It also contains one of my favorite products (used for thousands of years in Korea), namely Centella Asiatica (extracted from a small plant that grows in Asian). It prevents scarring and hyperpigmentation and increases cell renewal. If you have burned yourself in the sun or have a blemish or pimple in the evening and massage in a layer of this, they are usually miraculously gone or significantly smaller in the morning. Simply love it!
