Step 2: Cleansing Oil
Again, like Step 1, I only apply a cleansing oil if I put make-up on. I use Dior’s Instant Gentle Cleansing Oil. The point of applying an oil to your skin is so that your face and eye make-up get dissolved and become easier to remove in the subsequent step, avoiding unwanted spots due to poor cleansing technique. I love this product; it is highly effective, doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily, and keeps my skin hydrated and radiant.

Mine is really simple. Just moisturiser, cleansing water and I also use Black African soap which does wonders for the skin

Great Tips!
I try to include serum and hydrating mask in my regime as I have dry skin. Can’t say the same about the eye cream though!

This is a great post. I definitely need to be giving my skin a bit more attention I am noticing the difference as I get older. I love Dior make up but have never tried their skin care, I think I may have to put a few items on my Christmas list! X

Hi GIACD! I love that you are informing ladies that its important for each step. My favorite step that I pay extra special attention is exfoliation. I find it does the most benefit to my skin. Do you not find Dior too perfumey?

I enjoy a slight scent in my face products so no, not too perfumey for me! Do you think it’s fragrance is too strong?

The day & night regimen that I used was too perfumey for me, but that’s the beauty of skincare, no two preferences are the same.

Aww, serum is all I need. My skin is HYPER sensitive (it even reacts to aloe vera, can you believe it), so I have a particularly hard time shopping beauty products that won’t kill it… and I never found a serum that works. I tried mostly Korean brands though, more than Western brands that may match my skin better. Anything to recommend to start?
Also I never got the ‘courage’ to try an overnight mask, isn’t that unconfortable?

Clinique has a great range of products for sensitive skin, they dont even have a fragrance, to accommodate for that! You could also try a pharmacy brand like Lierac!
This mask is very very light, it feels like a moisturiser so it doesn’t feel sticky or oily or unfconfortable at all!

I’ll check Lierac out, thank you! The mask also sounds appealing!
