Cecilia's autumn routine with tips and tricks!

Autumn is here and I have promised many of you to set up my autumn routine, so here it comes! :) Now drier and cooler winds are starting to be felt in the air and my skin requires a little more nutrition and moisture and I dare to do a little more exfoliation than during the summer.

Morning routine.

1. I always start my routine with double cleaning, both morning and evening, to get rid of both oil and water-based dirt, balance sebum production and thus minimize the size of the pores.

2.

Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil - This lovely oil cleanser is gentle but effective, perfect even for sensitive skin. It has an allergy-friendly formulation with harmful vegetable oils.

• Black beans and oil balance sebum production.

• Black sesame oil contains antioxidants that strengthen the skin barrier

• Black currants and seed oil provide rich minerals and vitamins.

I massage it on completely dry skin, massage for a long time and well especially around eyes and areas where dirt easily sticks and fine lines are formed. Then I take some lukewarm water on my hands and massage until it becomes a milky white consistency and then I rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Dr. Ceuracle Tea Tree Purifine 30 Cleansing Foam - This is one of my oldest favorites that I always have in the bathroom cabinet. It is a foam cleanser formulated with 30% Tea Tree extract that dissolves blemishes and baobab extract that moisturizes and provides a pH-balanced deep cleanser. Perfect as step two in the double cleaning

Dr. Ceuracle Pro Balance Biotics Toner - I pat this with my palms in the morning, preferably in 2-3 layers if needed to boost the skin with moisture and nutrition. It is a classic toner without alcohol or oil that moisturizes, cleanses and strengthens the skin barrier. It has a low PH value and also contains "biomimetic water" which moisturizes, soothes and protects the skin. One of the main ingredients is "5 Probiotics Complex", which consists of five good bacterial species (probiotics) that help boost the skin's immune system and balance the skin by building a healthy bacterial system. A well-balanced skin protects the skin from losing too much moisture and from external irritating factors getting into the skin so being careful with this step in the routine is very important, so DO NOT skip the toner! :)

Dr. Ceuracle Royal Vita Propolis 33 Ampoule - This ampoule contains, among other things, Royal Jelly Extract (queen bee jelly) which naturally adds collagen to the skin, which builds up the skin's connective tissue and gives elasticity (plumps the skin). Collagen is found naturally in our body and is what makes the skin supple, firm and elastic and gives that even plump skin surface.

As we age, the skin's collagen production decreases, which makes the skin looser and fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear. How to use products that help promote collagen production in the skin is great both for preventive purposes and for mature skin.

This favorite also contains 33% pure propolis which is naturally repairing and gives natural radiance, sea buckthorn extract which brightens pigment spots, panthenol (vitamin B5) which forms a moisture barrier and protects the skin from external oxidative damage. And then another favorite ingredient, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) which reduces fine lines and an uneven skin tone.

1.

Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel - This light and nice gel cools a bit and sinks in quickly and easily, perfect during make up! It contains caffeine and red bean extract which brightens up, reduces swelling and dark circles under the eyes.

Glow-Tip!

This eye cream can also be used as a serum for the entire face on skin that feels dull and needs to be refreshed or on pigment spots.

Hyggee all over mist - Spray this over the neck and décolleté because I'm a little bad at lubricating in there in the morning so a mist feels much easier and means that I do not skip the décolleté, which is so important to take care of. If I feel that I need extra moisture, I also spray over my face.

Dr. Ceruacle Cica Regen Anti-Dust Sun Gel - This godsend for stressful mornings works as both sunscreen, serum and moisturizer in one so it is the perfect cream in the morning. It contains SPF 50 and deeply moisturizes while using Actinidia Argute (Kiwi) extract gives the skin anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that protect against external contaminants such as dust and dirt. It leaves no white or sticky surface but sinks in easily and is perfect as a base for make up. It also contains 1.51% pure Centella Complex which soothes and repairs damaged and sensitive skin, so it is also suitable for a more sensitive skin type!

Dr. ceuracle Glow Fit Cushion SPF50 + is a cushion foundation that contains SPF 50+, protects the skin from external stresses, promotes cell renewal and has the function of both foundation and concealer in one! Contains wonderful ingredients such as pearl extract, which helps restore the balance of the skin, promotes cell renewal and heals scars and Ecklonia Extra protects the skin from external stresses that can irritate the skin. 

Glow-Tip!

I use a foundation brush, drip a little Dr. Ceuracle white propolis ampoule on the brush and then presses it into the puff to catch bb-cream (also works as a concealer). By using a brush you get a very natural result. For a more comprehensive result, it is better to use the small puff that comes in the package. Then just continue with bronzer or blush and possibly. contouring! I like to use sensai bronzing gel, dab out with my fingertips where I want contouring and then work it in with the foundation brush.


It comes in 2 shades, light beige and mood beige and they can be used together as a contouring kit. Light beige has a pink base and mood beige has a beige base. I use 02 which is a bit darker.

Glow-Tip!

If you want extra luster for the day, it is good to spray a little hyggee all in one mist over the make-up (approx. 20 cm distance). Then I also have lost with me in my bag and on the desk all the time. Tip! Spray the mist on your makeup brush for an extra dewy look. For a very moisturized base, spray on the mist between each step of your morning routine.



Evening routine

Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil - Just like in the morning, I massage in this oil on completely dry skin, massage for a long time and especially around eyes and areas where dirt easily sticks and fine lines are formed. Then I take some lukewarm water on my hands and massage until it becomes a milky white consistency and then I rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

By wishtrend Acid-duo 2% Mild Gel Cleanser - This is a foam cleanser that exfoliates very gently and helps prevent acne and blemishes while strengthening the skin barrier. It has a low pH value of 5.5 and contains no strong substances that can irritate the skin, which makes it suitable for skin that easily gets blemishes and which is at the same time either dry, oily and / or very sensitive. It contains 1% LHA (Beta-lipohydroxy Acid) and 1% PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) Gluconolactore. LHA has a pH value similar to the skin's own (5.5). Like BHA, it gradually penetrates the skin to gently exfoliate and pull out dirt and oil up to the surface of the skin. However, it does not go as deep as BHA, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin (less risk of irritation). LHA is also antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and helps reduce pores and excess sebum production. PHA is a type of AHA acid that contains larger particles than AHA (= less risk of irritation). In summary, the skin is gently exfoliated with antibacterial acids that fight blemishes and impurities, which evens out the skin tone and increases the absorption of moisture in the skin and at the same time the mix of LHA and PHA allows the skin to heal faster and give the skin anti-inflammatory properties.

New !!! :) Klairs Youthful Glow Sugar Mask - 1-2 times / week klairs glow sugar mask as a mask for a few minutes before I massage and rinse off.
About 4 times / week I use Dr.Ceruacle Tea Tree Purifine 70 Toner by pouring a few drops on a cotton swab and sweeping from the center of the face and outwards. This toner contains betaine salicylate (BHA) and is therefore mildly exfoliating and dissolves clogged pores. It contains 70% tea tree extract which also soothes the skin.

Dr ceuracle pro balance biotics toner - In the evening, I first use it on a cotton pad to sweep away any remnants of dirt, and in the next step, I do not pat and massage it with my palms to really make sure it is absorbed properly.

Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop - for anti aging. This super-thin essence serum finds its way into all the fine lines like nothing else! I drip with the pipette directly on the skin under the eye and catch it with the ring finger on my other hand to then dab the drip under the eye, I do the same on the side of the eye (at the crow's feet) and then also dab the essence over the eye. Then I continue to the forehead, between the eyebrows, and the folds that go from the nostrils down to the mouth. After focusing on these areas (where wrinkles usually first appear), I finish by dabbing the remaining essence into the entire face. This serum contains, among other things, two types of peptides that are found naturally in the skin's surface and work both deeply and on the surface to maintain the skin's elasticity and work with and prevent wrinkles. The body's own production of these peptides begins to decrease already at the age of 20 and by adding them via skin care, you help the skin to maintain its elasticity and prevent sagging skin and wrinkles. The first peptide is bFGF (eH Polypeptide) which works in the deeper part of the skin and prevents the deep wrinkles that usually start to appear at the age of 30. The other peptide is EGF (rH Oligopeptide) and it works to prevent fine lines on the skin's surface and to maintain the skin's elasticity.

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop - When blue drops have penetrated properly into the skin, I drip 2-3 drops of this serum directly on the skin, on the forehead and on the cheeks, then I bathe it in by pressing my palms against the skin. This serum contains vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that fights skin aging and helps the skin to;

- Even out skin tone
- Pale brown spots
- Prevents the appearance of pigmentation
- Increase firmness and reduce fine lines
- For all skin types, even the most sensitive

Sheetmask day! Sometimes I add a sheet mask to my routine, especially if the skin feels extra dry, sensitive, dull or has a blemish. Right now with the weather change this autumn, my skin gets slightly hot and irritated, so my skin often needs more moisture and cooling formulations than usual and then I like to use GLOWiD Calm & Cool Sheet Mask, This sheetmask cools and soothes the skin, reduces pores and blemishes while moisturizing so effectively! With the help of small holes in the mask at the nose and forehead that show where you can cut it, you can also adapt it to your own face shape. Tips! The package contains so much essence that it is enough to lubricate the whole body :) Feel free to use a jade roller over the mask for an extra nice cooling effect and a nice massage!

It has an anti-inflammatory effect with ingredients such as green tea, ginger and licorice root which also balances the skin's sebum production. Green tea and ginger are antioxidants that protect the skin against free radicals while having a soothing effect on the skin.

Peppermint oil and lavender soothe and cool sensitive skin while Vitamin E derivatives and sodium hyaluronate (ingredient from hyaluronic acid) have a deep moisturizing and smoothing effect on the skin.

Another mask I like to use now when the skin requires a little more moisture is

Ceuracle Hyal Reyouth Lifting Mask, which contains as many as six different hyaluronic acids, which gives intense hydration to dry and tired skin and leaves the skin so wonderfully moisturized, fresh and plump. The main ingredients which are Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol (Vitamin B5) and Adenosine have a firming effect and protect the skin against free radicals and revitalize and nourish 8. to a dry and tired skin.

Suitable for all skin types, especially dull skin with fine lines, for those with uneven skin tone and also sensitive skin.

By wishtrend Polyphenol in Propolis 15% Ampoule - This ampoule is formulated to fight and prevent acne and blemishes by moisturizing and balancing the oil level in the skin. Developed to suit even sensitive skin.

- Protects the skin from external oxidative damage
- Reduces redness and inflammation
- Moisturizes
- Reduces pigmentation for a smoother skin tone
- In addition to being a sealant in bee nests, propolis is also used by the honey bee as an antiseptic to prevent microbial infection of the hive itself. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory, balancing, healing and soothing properties, propolis has long been used in skin care and makeup products to accelerate cell renewal, soothe the skin and to reduce pores. Propolis also contains lots of antioxidants that strengthen the skin and are naturally anti-inflammatory and lust-creating.
- Lizard leaf extract. Used instead of pure water for its antibacterial, soothing properties that are especially suitable for acne-prone / oily skin.

- Sodium hyaluronate, panthenol and betaine. Moisturizes and soothes the skin Completely free of sulfates, fragrances, dyes and silicones.

Suitable for combination skin, oily skin, dry skin and sensitive skin and skin that easily gets blisters or acne.

By Wishtrend Acid-Duo Hibiscus 63 Cream I use this mainly in the T-zone (sometimes the whole face). It is a light exfoliating cream that is perfect to use in the evening as they contain both LHA and PHA, acids that are good at exfoliating while they do not irritate the skin. The cream partly dissolves clogged pores and balances the sebum level in the skin at the same time as it works on pigmentation and gives lots of radiance. The main ingredient is 63% Hibiscus Extract which is rich in antioxidants and boosts the effect of LHA and PHA. The cream is suitable for all skin types, but above all an oily, impure or acne-prone skin and that is why I use it mainly in my t-zone, which is usually more oily than the rest of the skin on the face.

Dr. Ceuracle Tea Tree Purifine 80 Cream contains as much as 80% tea tree extract, Central Asian (a favorite ingredient) and sea buckthorn extract that soothes and moisturizes, contributes to an even skin tone and gives a more elastic skin structure. This also helps to lock in nutrients and moisture in the skin so they do not evaporate during the night.

Klairs Fundamental Nourishing Eye Butter is an eye cream that contains sunflower seed oil that is rich in vitamin A and vitamin E which protects the thin skin around the eyes. It also contains peptides (just like blue drops😊) that works against fine lines. It suits all skin types, even those with milia and can also be used excellently under make-up! Tip! This cream can also be used on other areas of the face where you want to counteract fine lines and improve the elasticity of the skin.

Make P:rem Radiance Peeling Sleeping Pack When my skin is in need of extra moisture (it changes from day to day and with the weather), I skip By wishtrend acid duo and only use Dr ceuracle tea tree cream and then finish with this night mask. This gel-night mask gives an effective luster boost at the same time as it softens, increases cell renewal and moisturizes effectively. Tip! It is also possible to only use this as both a moisturizer and a night mask (it all depends on how the skin feels during the day and how much moisture it needs).

- Moisturizes
- Gives glow
- Exfoliates gently with PHA
- Removes dead skin cells
- increases cell renewal
- Softens

This innovative gel cream works both as a moisturizer and night mask and with the help of ingredients such as ceramide, hyaluronic acid and lactobionic acid (PHA), it effectively moisturizes all night and gives you a nice glow when you wake up in the morning. Lactobionic acid is a PHA acid (Polyhydroxy acid) that exfoliates the surface of the skin and removes dead skin cells and increases cell renewal, without the irritation that can sometimes occur with other acids such as AHA or BHA. PHA works in a similar way to the more well-known acids, AHA and BHA, but because it contains larger molecules, the risk of irritation is reduced and is therefore suitable for very sensitive, irritated and dry skin. The cream also contains extracts from turmeric, pearls and henna as well as fermented radish root which contains lots of antioxidants that soothe and moisturize and give radiance to the skin!

Hope you feel that you have received some great new tips and tricks and that you will find favorites that suit you!
