New Skincare Routine - Summer_ Autum 2024__ South Africa

Hello my self care buddies how are you guys doing in 2024

So I thought this year I will kick off with skincare. Show you guys what I've been using throughout this summer

and what I'm continuing to use throughout our autumn because we are entering autumn here in South Africa

and I know in other parts of the world you guys are entering your summers

So for cleansing I will be using this gentle cleanser. It's a cleaning mask and I'm using this because I'm a person that

although I don't use makeup but I do use a sunscreen so it's very important to double cleanse whenever using makeup

or if you're a person who uses sunscreen. So I use it evening and morning because I just like the way it leaves my skin

so nice and hydrated and the reason why I'm showing this skincare

or new skincare routine is because I've used these products before from Gentle Magic and I wanted to go back and use them again

and see how they're going to treat my skin. So I'm starting off with this gentle cleanser that I've showed you guys

It's a sort of a cleansing milk cleanser and it doesn't strip away any of my skin and natural oils

which is why I like to use it. Like I'm saying I use it in the evening as well

in the mornings as well, sorry. But usually people use it like if they want to take off their makeup

and I'm not a makeup person however I do use a lot of sunscreen

so it's really really good for that. So the look is for hydrating or it's a creamy cleanser

It helps retain the moisture in my skin while also it removes like dirt and impurities as well

So after applying this cleanser I'm going to move on and use the bar soap, the green bar soap from Gentle Magic

So let's carry on. So

so

so

so

So right, cleansing is now done and we're moving on to using a toner

Now I like to use an alcohol-free toner just to rebalance my skin's pH levels after cleansing

especially after double cleansing. So I usually have toners that contain hydrating and soothing ingredients

and mine contains a ladies' menthol which helps to brighten my complexion

It also helps to reduce inflammation protecting my skin from you know radical damages

It also does cleanse the skin and also tightens the pores. You also want to look for a toner that hydrates

especially and soothes the ingredients that soothes like your hyaluronic acid

I hope I'm pronouncing right. And also aloe vera or otherwise any kind of rose water

would help as well to replenish the moisture on your skin. Now I'm moving on to applying a serum

So I'm applying a hydrating serum. You also want to look for something that has the hyaluronic acid in it

vitamin C or niacinamides. Okay so the serum, it helps to lock in the moisture

It brightens your complexion as well and provides additional nourishment to your skin

So I also like to use this. At night I just use the serum

I don't have to go on and use the moisturizer like I'm doing right now

I like to just use the serum at night and leave it there

or otherwise use the moisturizer only or both of them because my moisturizer is for morning and also evening

So you can choose a moisturizer that provides intense hydration. You can look for something that has like shea butter, ceramides or oils

Maybe jojoba oil or argan oil to help your skin, the barrier of your skin and prevent moisture loss

And now I will be moving on to SPF. And it can also be a face cream, the one that I chose

It has collagen and I can also use this on its own as a moisturizer as well

That's why I love this one. And I use this all year around as you should with SPF

It doesn't matter if it's summer or if it's winter. You just have to use or apply your sunscreen every single time you go out there

because the UV rays can still harm your skin even on those cloudy days

So you choose something that is a broad spectrum sunscreen and probably something higher like 50-55 up there

So this is the last step. It should be your last step on your skin care routine

before you apply like makeup or anything else. But in my case, I don't apply anything like that

And also something that I don't really use is an eye cream

But if you're a person who uses an eye cream, you specifically want to use something that is delicate on the skin around your eyes

and look for ingredients again like your hyaluronic acids, peptides, caffeine to help reduce puffiness

and also brings hydration into your eyes and helps with the dark circles

Now I'm moving on to lip care. So for winter, I like to use this Labello SPF 30 on my lips

It's very good. But this one likes to dry my lips a little bit

So I like to use that first lip care that you saw there

It keeps my lips hydrated. And then after that, I go on and put the Labello SPF

I use the lip balm that has this one that I'm using now

It has very nice ingredients on it, which is why I like to use this as a base

before I use the SPF lip balm. And you can just reapply it throughout the day as needed

to just prevent any chapping or crinkling on the skin. So this is what I have for my summer and autumn skin care

So you can hydrate, especially from inside as well, by drinking plenty of water throughout the day

You can use humidifiers in your home. But yeah, that's it for this video

Thank you so much for watching. See you in another one. Bye, guys

And remember, everyone's skin is different
