Nighttime Skincare Routine - March 2020

Since quarantine started, I have been really into skincare products and trying to find a skincare routine that works for my skin. Just trying to take better care of my skin and hopefully one day achieve that glass/smooth skin. Been watching a lot of product reviews and skincare routine on YouTube, and reading articles on Google. Still have a lot more research to do and try out certain products to see if it works for my skin.

Random note, but I haven't worn makeup since I got Lasik, February 14, 2020. Almost 3.5 months of just my bare face :) It has honestly been very refreshing. Yay for learning to embrace my bare face.

Until a few weeks ago, I always just assumed that I had oily skin, but after doing some research, I realized that I don't. I think that my skin type is combination/sensitive based on reading about all the different skin types.

My daytime skincare routine is pretty much non-existent since I just wash my face with water and then put on lotion in the morning.

My nighttime skincare routine used to be just a facial cleanser and lotion. Around 2-3 years ago I added the Witch Hazel toner and the It's Potent Eye Cream from Benefit Cosmetics (which made no difference at all) to my routine. Then just last year, Hyaluronic Acid Serum and Micellar Cleansing Water got added to my routine.

Currently in the process of changing up my nighttime routine and trying out new products.

Anyways, here is my skincare routine from February to March of 2020:

1. Cleanse my face with the Micellar Cleansing Water using a cotton pad.
2. Wash face in the shower with the Rice Water Bright, a face cleanser.
3. Pat on some Witch Hazel toner.
4. Use one of the serums (Hyaluronic Acid, Mizon Snail Repair or Peach Sake). I would rotate between them every three days. 
5. Use a jade facial roller (not pictured here).
6. Put some eye cream on. Currently using the one from Mizon.
7. Moisturizing my face with the Vaseline Aloe Soothe.

My thoughts on the products:

•  Micellar Cleansing Water --- It is a great makeup remover and it just makes my face feel clean. Could visibly see all the dirt on the cotton pad even when I am just using it to cleanse my face. Would definitely buy again.

•  Thayers Witch Hazel --- Currently on my third bottle and it has been amazing so far. Makes my skin feel refresh and soft. Also, I love the smell of it. Would definitely buy again.

• Vaseline Aloe Soothe --- I have been using this for so so long! It is actually a body lotion that I use for my face. Probably not the best thing for my face but it has been working for me for years now. I love how it is not greasy and heavy. I really should invest in an actual face moisturizer though. Would definitely buy again.

• Rice Water Bright --- Randomly came across this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. It is alright, didn't really feel a difference with it. Would probably not buy again.

• Mizon Eye Cream --- Loving it so far and it has been way better than the previous one I used. I think it has slightly helped me reduce my eye circles. Very hydrating eye cream. I even got one for my mom. Would definitely buy again.

• Hyaluronic Acid, Mizon Snail Repair and Peach Sake ---These three serums have helped improve the texture of my skin, but the difference isn't drastic or anything. Our of the three, the Hyaluronic Acid is probably my favorite and has made the biggest difference so far. Would buy again.
