My Evening Skincare Routine - with loads of SK-II

I took a random picture of  my skincare products yesterday and decided it would make a nice instagram post and a nice topic for a blog entry .
I tend to stick to the same routine for a month at most - and then before I know it I'll get bored of one or more of the products and go purchase something else and use that instead (This should explain my beauty cabinet beiing so overfilled with products)

I use about 3 different cleansers at the moment (that's my next blog entry right there) but I tend to favour Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm at the moment .I apply it to my face, massaga for as long as my patience allows, and then clean it off with a muslin cloth.  Once I am done with that I go ahead and start using products that I purhased in the flury of my Japanese skincare obsession.

First comes the SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion - which is basically a toner with a fancy name. I try to wait as long as I can between each step so that the product has a chance to penetrate into my skin. This is especially the case after the next step which is my second Toner/Lotion of the routine - SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. This product is largely talked about in the beauty community, and I have been testing it on and off for the past 3 months. Initially I used to put a bit of product in my palm  and apply it all over my face ( just like a man applies after-shave :) ) but I find that a bit annoying now, so I just apply it like a usual toner.  The main ingredient of this product is pitera which is apparently the reason as to why Japanese sake brewers' hands never get old.

Im still not happy with the products I use for the next step. If I had to pick one product, I would go for the La Mer Eye Balm Intense, I do a few dabs under and over my eye, and try to ignore the fact that it makes my under eyes quite shiny. This is a problem I have with all eye creams that I have tried so far, which is why I am still on he look for the next amazing OMG IM IN LOVE  eye cream

I know it is getting a bit monotone now but I also use the SK-II products for the last 2 steps of my routine. Firstly I applly  my SK-II Stempower Essence, trying to go all the way down to my deccoletage followed by the SK-II Stempower as a mouisturizer which i have already mentioned in an earlier post.

It sounds like a lot  of products, but the whole process deoesnt take more than 5-6 minutes,  and believe me when I say it is not long before you start looking forward to this part of evening when you will have a chance to unwind and give a fresh new start to your skin...
