My VICHY Skincare Routine

My skin problems are plenty but my main concerns are enlarged pores, oily skin (cheeks, nose, chin and forehead – oh wait is that the whole face?!) and whiteheads and blackheads and the occasional breakouts.

I was recommended to VICHY some time back and you probably already know that because I have not exactly been very quiet about my love for this product.

I have received some questions about my skincare routine with VICHY (i.e.: what do you use first? and when do you apply this and that?). So today, I shall address it all in a graphical post. :)

1) CLEANSE, you must.

Yup, I use this twice a day, once in the day and once in the night. Use warm water so that the dirt and makeup comes off easier. Use a 20cent-sized glob of this, then rinse with warm water. Remember to take off your makeup with a proper makeup remover!

2) TONING closes your pores

4 years back, I was this goondu thinking toning is unnecessary. And I squeezed at my pimples a lot. Look how enlarged my pores are now. :( Now I am religiously toning everyday. It becomes a habit that you come to enjoy. I swear by it!

It’s alcohol free and feels very soothing to my face.

3) MINIMISE those pores!

Yes. This wonderful product (as reviewed here previously) works wonders. So slap it on! 

4) MOISTURISE moisturise moisturise

Yea baby. Get your skin hydrated with the day cream (as reviewed here previously). If your skin is hydrated, it won’t be deceived into thinking you have dry skin and start to over-produce oil ya!

In the night, I use the night cream (as reviewed here previously).

5) ELIMINATE those pimples!

This is a great pimple cream. When put at night, it works magic overnight and the next day, the pimple will harden and dry up. :) Quick relief!

6) CAMOUFLAGE and heal!

In the day, I use this as a “concealer” for my pimples as well. It’s great cos it helps to conceal and heal the product at the same time.

And… we’re done! After that comes all the makeup, primers, bb creams, etc etc. :) Hope you learnt something!
