Step 4: Gentle Exfoliant
2 – 3 times a week I apply a gentle (emphasis on the word gentle) exfoliant to my skin after I’ve cleansed it. I stressed the word gentle, because I have sensitive skin and therefore harsher exfoliants (sometimes applied once a week) leave my skin looking reddish and somewhat agonised. Thus, I prefer applying a non-aggressive exfoliant a couple of times instead. My favourite one is Dior’s Instant Gentle Exfoliant. This silky product feels really soft and comfortable on my skin, while preventing the uncomfortable sensation provided by harsher exfoliants. Moreover, my skin feels revitalised, luminous, clear…and of course, with the softest touch!

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!
