Steem Women Club Contest #26: Care Day

It's good to be back again for another contest that @steemwomenclub is working hard for us women to be more active and productive in extraordinary ways. Because women are strong, mostly independent, reliable, multi-tasker... we need also need not to forget to take care of our personal well being most especially taking care of our skin that will give us more confident and extra energy to do task daily.

BUT, to be beautiful doesn't need to use expensive skin care products and food supplements to have a young glowing skin. There are a lot of DIY (do it your own) or just homemade/ready made products that doesn't need to be costly. Since I was younger, I don't use chemicals or alcohol base product for my skin (thinking that it's costly 😁).

So to start, I will share to you the very simple and less cost skin care secret that I use daily. I usually do my skin care routine in the evening because I could have a lot of time and relaxation before going to bed. For every evening of Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday I have my coffee and milk facial mask, while in Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday I have my ripe tomato and milk facial spa that I personally make for my self.

For the milk and coffee ground, you can use any brand available at home. Let the mixture stay for 5 minutes before applying it onto your face.

Here's what to do:
I use face cleanser scrub Mineral Clay (product of ponds) to wash my face. This is the only product I use since before because it is really friendly to my skin tone and it is very refreshing.

1. I simply put a little amount of ponds mineral clay face cleanser on my thumb and slowly spread onto my face.

2. I slowly massaged my face with the face cleanser for 1-2 minutes.

3. I rinsed my face thoroughly with room temperature water (water faucet).

4. I dried my face with soft towel by tapping on my face and not scrubbing to prevent scratches.

Below is the skin benefits of the ingredients I used for my daily routine.

Coffee and milk mixture will help get rid of dead skin cells, leaving behind a glowing skin.*

The juice of tomatoes helps in shrinking open pores caused by acne and the lycopene content helps lightening dark spots.

Milk has lactic acid that is popular in anti-aging face cleansers and help remove dead skin.

It's summer time here in my country Philippines and I don't use a lot of sunscreen. I simply hydrate my facial skin by spraying a good amount of water and of course I drink plenty of water as much as possible.

This is my inexpensive daily skin care routines.

Always,
