Hi Charmaine, can you share your skincare routine with us?
My skincare routine is very basic and simple. Washing my face has never been something I particularly liked doing but something I religiously do at the end of each day. I have realized from a young age that taking good care of one's body and face is a necessity for longevity.
I have been using Be You skincare oil as a cleanser and moisturizer since 2018 and have since then never felt the need to change to something different. The oil meets all of my needs….just like Jesus 🙂
Cleanser - I love how the oil cleans my skin deeply into the pores taking off ALL of the foundation. I press the white pipette dropper once and use whatever is caught up in the tube. I then rub my hands together and apply it over my entire face. With a warm soft cloth I then wipe off all the foundation. I do this twice to make sure it is completely clean.
Moisturizer - I take one squirt of oil again, rub my hands together and rub it all over my face. When I moisturize, I make sure I massage it over my entire face. I make sure I cover the lovely crows feet 🙂 (those wrinkles around the eyes) with enough rubs to hopefully make a difference and massage my cheeks and forehead. I feel this makes the oil penetrate even more and deeper into my skin.
I have seen my pigmentation go lighter over the years for sure.
I moisturize my skin with the oil both evenings and mornings before applying my make-up. The make-up applies so much smoother with the oil as opposed to a cream moisturizer.
Scrub - I use the rice powder scrub twice a week on a Wednesday and a Sunday. It gets rid of dead skin cells and takes out shallow impurities under the top layer of skin. It definitely also helps with the lightening of pigmentation. I just love a good scrub.
I take more or less half a teaspoon of scrub and throw it in the palm of my hand. I prefer to use the scrub with a cleanser as it makes a nice paste which I then spread and rub all over my face. I rub softly for about 20-30 seconds and then wash it off with luke-warm water. Feeling how soft my skin is when I then apply the oil, is just wonderful. It makes me feel like a spoilt child 🙂
Do you use any additional skincare products for your face?
Nothing else, only the oil. Cream based moisturizers burn my skin.
How did your skin change when starting your Be You Skincare routine?
My skin looks absolutely amazing. I will be 50 next year and everyone telling me how I don’t look my age at all is of course a huge compliment. My pigmentation marks have definitely lightened as well and adult acne is something of the past.
Do you use the oil only for your face?
Mostly on my facial skin but I like rubbing the oil into my hands and cuticles before I go to bed as well as on my heels and toe nails. It is natural and can be used for the healing and soothing of absolutely anything that needs tender love and care.
