Le Beauty Diaires: Quickie FOTD

My Quickie FOTD 

Well, if you have noticed or not, I recently had a haircut. My hair was just too long and the weather is getting out-of-hand lately, its scorching like hell. And also, for the benefit of my Baby Cloud to get all the help and nutrients he can get, I chopped it short. It was a good decision since it felt like a ton of weight had been lifted off my world and I feel much fresher.

Here's a quickie FOTD for you darlings. Its pretty simple and light with a little focus on the eyes.

Le Beauty Diaries: My Current Skincare Routine

One of the joys of being preggo is having a glowing, immaculate skin--- not! How I wish but its actually the opposite. Your skin gets plagued by acne, oiliness (or for some dryness) and redness. Blame it on the hormones that are going absolutely mental inside our sexy bodies. Yes, sexy bodies. 

My face was pretty affected by acne and irritation for months. And to top it all off, my skin was also adjusting to the water here in Manila. You see, when I was back in Dubai, my face was also plagued by acne because of the alkaline content in the water. I never had bad acne before I went to Dubai. I guess my skin wasn't just compatible with the water in Dubai and also, flying affected my skin too. I had tried everything to cure my acne but nothing really worked. I would still get several zits every month or so. I tried Obagi, Neostrata, Avene, Clindamycin, Erethromycin and everything else in between but still nada. Until I tried Beauche which worked well but it was just a bit harsh because of the peeling agents. Beauche made my skin clear again but with a few zits every now and then would appear.

So with that adjusting phase and preggo crazy hormones, my face was literally acne prone. I tried going back to my skincare routine before which was Beauche but it was too harsh for my preggo body. And so I tried searching for products that are all-natural and safe for me and my baby. After months of trying several brands, I finally found my skincare arsenals and they are all crafted with good ingredients and by that I mean good for the body ingredients.

My current skincare routine

  

And they are Moringa-O Malunggay Soap, Snoe Beauty Spot on Spot Off Acne Fading Gel and Aquaphor Healing Ointment. 

These 3 products work wonders on my skin. They have eliminated my acne like seriously and also the acne spots are fading slowly. My skin is not oily anymore and it just became clear and healthy again. The Moringa-O Malunggay Soap is divine. I use it not only on my face but also my body. It brought back the healthy glow unto my face and I love the scent too. I'm actually on my second bottle of Snoe Beauty Shoo-Zit, Spot On Spot Off Acne Fading Gel and it really is effective even if you have preggo acne. My zits just completely dried out fast and the acne marks are slowly fading away. Its a total beauty must-have! I swear by this product. The Aquaphor Healing Ointment was the ointment I used when I was still in the hospital and even up to now to my preggo days. It heals any chapped and irritated skin and it also moisturizes. I just love this product.

There are the 3 products that are a must-have for my current skincare routine. I highly recommend these products especially if you are preggo like me since they are all natural and guaranteed safe for your body and your baby and they really work too.

So, what's your current skincare routine? Share your thoughts!
