(aspiring) mua

i do!! i’ve changed my skincare routine around a little since the last post i’ve done on it, and my skin has improved SO much - i think it’s the clearest its been in years so i’ll gladly share it with y’all!! here’s the stuff i use on a regular basis, in order of what i use first:

cleanser: neogen foaming green tea cleansertoner: lush eau romer wateressence: missha time revolution essence serum(?): the ordinary 2% retinoid in squalane (i use this every other night before my moisturiser and i think this is a big contributor to my clear skin!! it’s definitely worth checking out, but if you do, please make sure you read up on it because it’s a tricky thing to work into your routine. you have to use it once a week for two/three weeks, then twice a week for another two/three weeks, then three times a week etc before using it every other night. note: it should only be used at night bc it makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so it’s best to use it whilst you’re settled in bed ✨)moisturiser: huxley light and more oil (i use about three drops of this for my entire face + neck in the day and night!)> at night, i use the laneige water sleeping mask and matching eye cream over the light and more oil (+ retinoid)sunscreen: thank you farmer water sun cream (this gives u SUCH a beautiful glow and it’s super light and non gross like all the other spf creams i’ve tried. one time i just put this spf on and my housemate saw me in the corridor and stopped me to tell me my skin looked radiant so Y’ALL KNOW IT’S GOOD)

occasionally, i’ll do face masks! i haven’t done one in a while actually bc i ran out while i was at uni yikes but here’s some i always return to:

Don’t be afraid to wear make up! I’ve always wanted to wear make up since I got my first spot, but been too afraid to do it. I decided when I turned 16 I was going to! It wasn’t fair to me that girls were allowed to cover what they found to be flaws while I had to leave mine open for the whole world to see. I wanted to feel beautiful too..

baby wipes - can be used to take makeup off quickly. use before & after sex,easily wipes up boob sweat and is just good for freshening up overall

throat numbing spray -  makes deep throating easier (especially if your gag reflex is bad)

aquaphor - makes lips soft and is good for any rough patches of skin

clear or light pink gloss - super flirty and cute and makes your lips look nice & pouty

salux cloth - exfoliates skin really well and will make your skin soft as fuck. it’s like a loofah but better. it’s also long so you can exfoliate your back as well.

schick intuition razor - it has a little moisturizing bar on the razor so u don’t have to use shaving cream. so moisturizing and makes you smooth as fuck. one of the best razors imo.

dr. bronners peppermint castile soap - literally makes you feel so clean and minty! if u have a vagina do not put this inside of it bc it will throw ur pH way off)

baby oil - put on wet skin to keep moisture in and make you soft af. also good if u wanna put oil on your ass & titties during sex (also be sure not to get this in your vagina bc it will give u a fuckin infection and it also it deteriorates condoms)

perfume oil - lasts longer and is is stronger than perfume (i recommend the “crown perfume” brand)

body butter - thicker than lotion and makes you wayyy softer (heres a diy recipe)

rosewater - smells like rose (obviously) and works good as a toner,setting spray,and makeup “refresher”. works well for all skin types.

aloe vera gel - great under makeup as a moisturizer & primer if you have oily skin. it absorbs fast and prevents wrinkles and makes ur skin look nice & plump. i’ve heard it can be used to shave with as well. (make sure you get the clear one, not the green or blue gel. and make sure there’s no alcohol added)

chlorophyll - basically a body deodorizer, that you take internally. comes in liquid or pill form. it’s a natural remedy for vaginal odor & bad breath. it’ll make you smell better in general though.
