My 3 main steps of skincare routine for a good skin condition.

I will try my best to stick with these 3 main skincare steps in daily basis.

1. Wash face using facial cleanser after clean it up from make up. Last time I did invest in facial cleanser that able to remove make up. But it is too expensive for my current state. Good for those who is quite busy and avid make up user.
2. Use toner to clean up skin from any impurities after facial cleansing. I normally choose alcohol free as my skin unable to tolerate it.
3. Moisturized skin using moisturizing cream.

These 3 main steps does helps a lot to maintain my current skin condition.

Perfume Pink Sugar EDT by Aquolina best used during current rainy weather.

Despite it is quite cold during the current rainy weather in Johor, Malaysia, I am taking full advantage of it by using back my precious sweet sugary perfume. That is my precious Pink Sugar EDT perfume. As such perfume would be too sweet, cloying and unbearable during very hot humid weather. Unless you work in fully air-conditioned work place. Like my previous work in Siemens😊.
