Catalina's video: Night Time Skin Care Routine :: cl2425 ::

::: You can read a more by opening this tab ::: Hi everyone, long time no video. This is a quick update on my skincare routine. As someone pointed out, 2009 was the last time I updated anything related to a full routine of doing my skin, so I thought I'd update you guys. A couple of things have changed since my last skincare video. - the frequency of washing the face. - Products I use - Other factors (mainly birth control pills) - Living environment Things that haven't changed much.. - My diet (although I do eat out more often than I did in New York) - My workout (on and off, but I manage to do some cardio here and there, pretty much the same as my NY days) - My sleeping cycle - Caffeine intake - When I shower (I shower daily, at night) I hope this video helps out anyone curious about what I do to my skin. Also, a lot of people have asked about my acne scars. I still have my acne scars, but I think mine fade away easily. I don't pop my pimples or irritate any break outs. I just leave them and even if I accidentally scratch them, I let them be and wait for time to heal the scars. As you can see through out the video my bare skin is actually red and spotty. The redness is a result of a lot of acne scars overlapping each other. I don't do anything extraordinary - I'm too lazy to do sheet masks, intensive treatments, anti-aging or whitening stuff (although I think I should be doing these religiously since my skin often looks dull and tired, LOL), so this video really is what I do everyday. In the near future I do plan to get my freckles and sun spots removed, but I don't think I'll mess around with the acne scars since they cover such a vast surface area. I'll update you guys when I get my sun spots / freckles removed! :) Also, I understand that there's always a heated debate of the pros and cons regarding birth control pills - I don't recommend BC pills for everyone, I'm only sharing what worked for me. Always consult your doctor before trying out birth control pills. It's definitely not for everyone. My mom, for instance, took birth control pills when she was young and she had major side effects and health problems (hence her opposition to my usage of the pills), so research and figure things out before jumping on the pills!
