Skincare for BW/G: A Thread

I'll be doing it specifically off of TBS (The Body Shop) products but, they can apply anywhere.

Please Retweet

Starting with Skin Types:
-Oily
-Dry
-Sensitive
-Combination
-Acne Prone
-Normal

There are many ways to assess which skin type you have. The easiest to do from home though is the blotting sheet test. Take a blotting sheet and dab it on various places on your face.

Depending on how much oil shows up on the sheet. You can assess which skin type you have. It won't tell you if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin though. Knowing you have acne-prone skin is obvious. You can find out you are sensitive VIA a doctor, or a simple quiz online.

Once you have properly assessed which skin type you are. You can go about finding treatment and products that work best for you. It's always best to go to a Dermatologist, because they can give you treatment and know what is best for your skin. Now it's your job to find products

Everyone is different on the amount of products they like to use. 3-Step is the simplest. There are also 5 step, 7 step, and 10 steps (Korean skincare). I will be explaining each routine, to find out which one is most to your liking.

My personal favorite is the 10 step.

A 3-step skincare routine is the basic Cleanser, Toner, and Moisturizer. You will need to throw in an exfoliant to use 2-3 times a week. Be careful if you have sensitive skin!

ALWAYS REMEMBER SUNSCREEN

A 5-step skincare routine is not as basic but still manageable. Start by Double cleansing. First a water or oil cleanser. Follow up with a cream cleanser. Next, your toner. Then apply a serum for treatment. Finally, your moisturizer! Don't forget to exfoliate and apply sunscreen!

7-step routines require a bit more work. You first double cleanse. Apply your toner, and serums. Next, you'll use a sheet mask! Once you've finished with the sheet mask, you can apply eye creams and final step a moisturizer.

Exfoliation and suncreen are still important

A 10-step routine! This will be a lot of work but, your skin will

you. First, we double cleanse. Next, exfoliant. Move to your toner and apply your serums. Apply a sheet mask and after, use eye creams and then a moisturizer. You can also use night creams.

SPF

Now that we know all of the different routines you can choose from. Let's dive into products for each skin type.

For Each:

Oily - Tea Tree
Dry - Vitamin E
Combination - Seaweed
Sensitive - Aloe
Acne prone - Tea Tree
Normal - Any of the lines above.

Oily skin

Products that are good for this skin type, will remove excess oil and leave a matte finish. For Oily skin Tea Tree products are best. This is good for people that don't like to use chemicals on one's face and it's a natural alternative.

CAREFUL NOT FOR SENSITIVE

Combination Skin

Seaweed products are your best friend when you have this skin type.

IT DOES NOT STINK

It's actually a refreshing smell. Seaweed is good at balancing out the skin, so it doesn't feel stretchy and dry, or super greasy. It leaves you feeling normal.

Sensitive Skin

If you have any sensitive skin issues(eczema, psoriasis, etc.) Aloe products are for you! I have a sister with eczema and she really likes these products. Aloe is also good for burns. These don't have tons of chemicals, but please read up before purchasing.

Acne Prone Skin

Tea tree isn't only good at wiping away excess oils and creating a matte finish. It's also a natural treatment for ones acne. You can use pure tea tree oil or tea tree targeting gel. There is also a daily skin clearing solution.

Normal Skin

Normal Skin can use pretty much any of the above lines. Seaweed and Vitamin E would probably be best and I would stay away from most tea tree products as they are incredibly concentrated and you don't want to irritate your skin! Use tea tree products for targeting.
