Before I became a mom, I was a freelance make-up artist. I love make-ups and everything that has to do with beauty. But now as a full-time stay at home mom, I always make some time for myself. Us moms are prone to stress and lack of sleep everyday, that is why we need to take care of ourselves too.

What is your skin type?
Dry skin
- Basically 60-70% of skin is dry
- Often sensitive, when you pinch a dry skin it turns red
- Too much air-conditioning and showering might make your skin even more dry than usual
- Moisturize after taking a bath
- Drink lots of water
- Use a moisturizing mask at least twice a week
- Don't use too much exfoliating products, this will make your skin even more dry than usual
Oily skin
- Blackheads and whiteheads are the common problems of oily skin
- 60% of the skin are oily, specially on the T-zone which includes your forehead and the bridge of your nose
- Oily skin attracts more dirt and dust that can clog your pores and cause your skin to break-out
What you can do is:
- Wash your face at least 2-3x times a day with soap and water
- Ask your dermatologist what kind of cleanser will suit your needs
- Avoid using products that will cause your skin to overdry. This will only make your skin even more oily than usual
- If you have blackheads or whiteheads, try using a pore strip. You can buy them at the local department store's beauty section
Normal Skin
- This skin type has a clear, fine texture, smooth and no visible pores
- Some surfaces can become either dry or oily
What you can do is:
- Moisturize after taking a bath or before bedtime
- Drink lots of water
- Wash your face at least 2x a day with a gentle cleanser and water
