Deanna Yusoff Instagram – MY FORAY INTO SKIN CARE⁠⠀ When did I start taking care of my skin?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I was 12 and had just moved to Switzerland. It was autumn. I was not only getting adjusted to the different culture and way of life, but I also had to get used to the weather. I had never really paid attention to my skin but with the days becoming colder and dryer, I started seeing signs of dryness. As we progressed into winter, my lips became chapped. My skin just felt very bare and vulnerable. I never wore makeup so the idea of having to clean my face with something other than water just didn’t make sense. I was very fortunate to not have teenage skin issues. Lucky me! But the tightness, redness and slight itchiness was becoming a concern. Both my mother and grandmother were not into skincare much. They just had a moisturiser and I remember they both used Oil of Olay! But I was told that a simple cream such as Nivea (in the blue round tin) would be good enough for me. It helped and I was fine with that until I went to secondary school. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ That’s when I discovered make-up, vanity and boys! I graduated from Nivea and adopted a more elaborate routine, comprising a cleansing milk, a toner (yes, with alcohol then!!) and a moisturiser. This has been my basic routine since, and I am very glad that I started early and that it became second nature to me.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ When did you start your Skin Care routine and what did you use?⁠ Visit @edelbotanica to learn about skin care with me. ⁠⠀ #naturalskincare⁠⠀ #healthyliving⁠⠀ #loveyourskin⁠⠀ #skin⁠⠀ #beauty⁠⠀ #plantbase⁠d⁠⠀ #skinwellness⁠⠀ #botanics⁠⠀ #skineducation⁠⠀ #empowerment⁠⠀ #integrity⁠⠀ #trust⁠⠀ #innerhealing⁠⠀ #deannaformulates⁠⠀ #knowledge⁠⠀ #awareness⁠⠀ #skincareformulator⁠⠀ #skincareproducts⁠⠀ #cosmetics⁠⠀ #skincareroutine⁠⠀ #teenager⁠⠀
