I met this really sensational skincare professional from Italy who told me what makeup I was wearing after just looking at me for a while. If you think that’s not a big deal, she named the actual brands!
She also said she can see I’m a big fan of the facial scrub but should quit it immediately because it’s wrong for my skin type.
On the positive side, she said I have sensational skin and should sell recipes of what it is I’m doing to keep it so fresh and unlined. And when I told her my age, the woman was shocked.
And she wholeheartedly approved of my habit to switch the brands of facial care products I use. It’s good to switch them often, people. Once every two years, for sure. So don’t get too attached to any single brand.
Of course, I can share my skin secret but I don’t think it will be helpful to most readers. I’ve been mosturizing every single day and doing facial masks at least once a month since the age of 15. Once the freshness is gone, there’s not much one can do. The secret is to prevent it from going away. But few people are capable of worrying about what they’ll look like at 40 when they are 15.
The good news is that with this skincare routine you can have the most unhealthy lifestyle ever and still look fresh.

Moisturizers are the liquid, lotiony ones rather than creams, right? Also, what should one look for in moisturizers or face masks? I’m afraid I don’t know much about the subject.

No, I prefer the creams. My skin tends to be dry because I was so terrified of the prospect of acne as a teenager that I dried it out a bit.
A good way of determining if the product works for you is the way the skin feels to the touch the day after you used the product. This is why samples are good because what’s the point of buying the whole jar of cream if you don’t know what it will do for you?

What you should look for is dependent on what skin type you have, the climate you live in, and the season. I have oily, congested skin and it’s the peak of summer, so I get lighter, silkier ones. If you had thinner, drier skin that needed plumping from moisture to look younger/fuller, a heavier creme would be more suitable. Same with a face mask; I go for an exfoliating one because it gets hot and muggy where I live and I and want to keep my skin dewey and fresh looking. I look for key words on the bottle like “exfoliating” or “scrub” or “brightening”, someone older with drier skin would look for “hydrating”, “lifting”, and “renewing”. You can search online for them at beauty shop websites like Sephora by key word, like “oily” or “brightening”.
I didn’t know about switching up for every two years, I guess I’m on the market for a new moisturizer!
