Clean, clear and glowing skin is a sign of a healthy skin inside and out. And with our busy and hectic schedule, a glowing skin is our best defense to all the deadlines and stress of any day.
PREP THE SKIN. Like a blank canvass, the skin must be prepped before you put anything on it. Koreans introduced double cleansing and has since become an obsession for majority of us. Use a mild, hypo-allergenic soap before you use a foaming wash. Use one that is crafted with botanical and all-natural ingredients. A plus if you can find one that is formulated to lighten the skin.
MOISTURISE. Use a moisturiser that’s perfect for your skin type. Also, use a moisturiser that’s right for our tropical weather. There’s a lot of types to choose from – from spray-on to serum to cream and oil-based moisturisers, you need to choose one that’s non-comedogenic and makes your skin glow and not flat.
EXFOLIATE. Exfoliate, exfoliate and exfoliate. Choose one that detoxifies the skin and is at the same, enriched with natural ingredients and vitamins. Many products are enhanced with potent herbal formulas and activated charcoal that helps rid the skin of impurities and traces of stress and deadlines. Test the products first before buying the full size.
SUN PROTECT. One can never have enough of sun protection. As global warming becomes too hot to handle, one should be ready to protect the skin from both UVA and UVB rays. VCE’s Fortify has grapeseed oil and witch hazel that has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties best to protect the skin to reverse the skin pollution and sun exposure damages. Apply Fortify every after 2 hours – great even when applied on top of makeup.
