I get requests to share my skincare routine, so here is my current one. I change my routine and products I use every 1-2 months. Sometimes when I really like the products, I extend it up to 3 - 4 months or until I feel like my skin is already immune with whatever I put on my face.
I've been using Celesty Shinagawa skincare products right after my Synchroderm Laser Treatment, and will continue to use them until end of this week, then I'll switch to a new routine and products.
Celesty Shinagawa / Derma Celesty has a wide range of products to address different skincare concerns. They have Celesty Glow for Basic Skincare, Derma Celesty (Luxe) for Intensive skincare, Celesty Flora for special skincare needs, and Medicated Acne Series for acne prone skin.
They gave me 4 products to try, 2 from Celesty Glow and another pair from Derma Celesty.
SKINCARE ROUTINE
STEP 1: Cleanse
I use the Celesty Glow Whitening Cleansing Soap as my daily skin cleanser. It's so gentle yet effective in removing dirt, oil, and makeup without leaving the skin dry. I love how my skin feels so soft and moisturized after use. It's also works great together with my Clarisonic. When I feel lazy, this is the only product I use on my face at night.
It has YH-15 extract, antioxidant, anti-microbial, and other moisturizing ingredients for fresh-looking skin.
Benefits:
✔ Refreshes and cleanses skin.
✔ Prevents pimples & other skin impurities such as blackheads and whiteheads.
✔ Softens and smoothens skin.
✔ Prevents skin dryness and scaling.
Active ingredients (gentle on skin)
★ Lauric Acid
★ Royal Jelly Extract
★ YH-15 Yeast Extract
★ Hyaluronic Acid
How to use:
Wet face before applying the product. Lather the soap on palm and massage gently on the face. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm or tap water. Use twice daily (morning, evening)
Step 2: Tone / Facial Lotion
I'm not a fan of facial lotion or toners causing stinging sensation when applied and I'm thankful this Derma Celesty Luxe Pearl Lotion is very gentle on skin. It's an all-natural facial lotion that exfoliates, removes skin dullness and replenishes the skin from deep within to reveal its inner glow. I also feel like my skin is extra clean and soft after using this. This goes after the cleansing soap.
Active Ingredients:
★ Prune Extract
★ Waltheria Indica Leaf Extract
★ Wild Rose
How to use:
After cleansing, apply Luxe Pearl Lotion in circular motion. I like using a cotton ball for toners or facial lotions. Use twice daily (morning, evening)
Step 3: Treatment
I know I'm not getting any younger anymore so it's better to fight aging as early as now that I'm on my late 20's. After toning, I apply the Derma Celesty Wrinkle Eliminator all over my face. It works like a moisturizer with added benefits. It is highly concentrated to reduce fine lines & wrinkles, diminish acne spots, and make the skin firmer. I use it only at night as a serum / moisturizer.
Active Ingredients:
★ Argireline
Formulated with 10% Argireline solution as the only ingredient in cosmetics today that offers the same results as Botulinum Toxin (BoTox), but without the needles or the risk of damage to the skin and facial muscels.
★ Hydrolyzed Keratin
How to Use:
After cleansing and toning, I apply this on my entire face at night focusing on the areas where I have prominent premature wrinkles.
Step 4: Exfoliate
I only exfoliate 1-2x a week. Normally during middle of the week (Wednesday) and weekend (Sunday). I'm currently using the Celesty Glow Whitening Peeling Gel which is formulated with YH-15 extract as well, plus grapefruit extract, kiwi extract, and grapefruit peeling oil. It thoroughly cleanses the skin and removes dead skin cells to prevent acne, blackheads and whiteheads. It also helps even out skin tone. My skin feels super clean after this then I use sheet masks for extra pampering treat.
Benefits:
✔ Prevents Acne, blackheads, and ation.
✔ Smoothens skin by removing dead skin cells.
Active ingredients:
★ Grape Fruit Extract
★ Kiwi Fruit Extract
★ YH-15 Yeast Extract
Celesty products are made from all-natural ingredients and formulated with care by an expert team of Japanese dermatologists. I am a fan of anything Japanese. I know I might sound biased but none from any Japanese beauty products I've tried so far has failed me.
Overall, using only these 4 products from Celesty Shinagawa, I can feel how effective they are on my skin. I'm always lack of sleep which causes my skin to feel dry / dehydrated, get breakouts and zits but when I started using these products, my skin is never dull again and I even get compliments from my friends and readers making them curious what I do with my skin. Honestly, there are times when I don't follow the full routine when I feel so tired from work and events but still my skin's condition is consistent. I'm actually looking forward to try their other products when I have the budget, they are quite on the pricey side but like I always say, invest on your skin like you invest in your gadgets.
