Attention, product junkies with your overstuffed bathroom cabinets. Despite warnings that overloading on products is a skin care no-no, we know how tempting it is to concoct different toner-serum-cream combos for days, nights and special occasions. The fact is, these cosmetic cocktails do more harm than good, and overloaded skin can end up drier, more irritated and more prone to breakouts. If you must mix and match, however, keep it as simple as possible with the help of our three-step guide.
Step 1 Banish dull skin
While most cleansers get rid of dirt and makeup residue, there can still be a build-up of dead cells on the skin's surface. Follow up your cleansing ritual with a product that removes these cells but is still gentle enough for daily use. The Rojukiss Daily Soft Peeling Source (HK$280) contains enzymes that dissolve dead skin cells without the risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions, resulting in clean, glowing skin.
Step 2 Lock in moisture
After a thorough cleansing, ensure that skin stays soft and supple with a hydrating product suited to your skin type. For those with normal to dry skin, the Rich Repair Nourishing Cream by Aromatherapy Associates (HK$750) locks in moisture while stimulating elastin production for improved skin texture.
