"Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise"

I take pride in being a no-fuss kind of a gal.  Life can only be truly lived when you learn to laugh at yourself and not taking yourself too seriously.  I adapt this philosophy in almost all aspects and most especially in my beauty regimen.  I understand the need to upkeep and get to that best version of oneself but I do not however let this take precedence over having fun and enjoying life.  Thus my beauty regimen can be quite basic.  In all my years of reading beauty and health magazines, I have come to filter all the information and retain the most important ones.  Number 1 on the list has always been a consensus of the importance of moisturising.

One product I am loving now is Clinique's Youth Surge.


I use this as a night cream because it's a bit heavier than what I would prefer to use during the day.  Being a heavier cream can only mean hard core moisturising powers!

For all over the body, I choose Palmers Moisturising Body Oil.


Although it can leave the skin feeling a bit slick for a moment, it is actually absorbed quite quickly by the skin leaving it so soft when I wake up in the morning.  That being said, I only use it at night, after a shower because I've made the mistake of putting it on during the day and leaving oil stains on my top even after I thought it was well and truly absorbed.  Anyway, this product works wonders on other kinds of skin blemishes too such as uneven skin tone, flaky skin and stretch marks.  Best of all, it's a pharmacy product and can be bought for less than $20.

Simple.
