My Skincare Routine!

During Ramadan 2024, Cetaphil had an array of engaging initiatives and with that being said, I actually took some products home because they were having such a good deal that was too hard to resist. With extra savings, im giving my skin more than just savings, but basically replenishing my skins needs with healthier skin thanks to Cetaphil’s formulation that’s gentle enough even on sensitive skin.

During the Raya period earlier this year, Cetaphil has this 30. Days kulit sihat challenge which im actually taking on the challenge post raya because why not? Im very much aware that sometimes the skin taken for granted, so im highlighting that theres no harm in giving your skin some TLC with a whole 30 days commitment as it seemed to be a challenge that you should be taking at any time of the year too! That being said, I’m proud to share that I took up that 30 day challenge because I wanted healthy, glowy skin

While I managed to visit one of their roadshows at IOI City Mall Putrajaya, I managed to purchase some Cetaphil products, the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, and the Cetaphil Moisturiser, together with their ultra lightweight sunscreen for myself and really, this is more that enough to give your skin a good reset. Now let me elaborate more on my skincare routine that you can choose to follow if youre looking to reset your skin.

Step 1: Cleanser

One of the OG’s that you should really consider getting is the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. I’ve been using this using my teenage years, and each time when my skin is acting up, it does the trick to give my skin a good reset by removing any impurities without stripping the skin’s layers. It has a gel-like texture, so don’t expect it to foam as much, but really, what I love about this cleanser is that after each cleanse, your skin still feels really moist and hydrated. Did I mention that it provides up to 48 hours hydration in first wash, doesn't strip off skin's natural oil as well.

STEP 2: Serum

After cleansing the skin, I would apply this Bright Healthy Radiance Serum by Cetaphil just to lighten my pigmentation concerns . Its super lightweight when spreading over the skin, and most importantly, I do notice that after 14 days of using this, it allowed me to have this naturally glowing skin. I’ve been facing pigmentation issues, and this really helped me lighten my pigmentation in result giving me glowing skin.

STEP 3 :Moisturize

I never loved moisturizers, but this was an exception because it can be used for both face and body without leaving any sticky residue! It has this very light texture that is well absorbed by the skin, and I just love that it provides this protective layer over the skin keeping the skin hydrated for hours thus preventing any dryness when you’re out and about. After applying this over my face, I would actually apply this around my elbow areas as well cause I’ve been getting cracked dried elbows lately, and this did the trick to giving my elbow that healthy appearance. With 48 hours of hydration, it helps with skin barrier by repairing it in just 1 week.

STEP 4: Sunscreen

And before starting my day, I cant leave the house without using the ⁠Cetaphil Sun SPF50+ Light Gel. Why? Because im in my 30s and sunscreen has got to be one of the most important skincare when it comes to protecting the skin from harsh UV rays. With that being said, always remember to apply sunscreen and use the two finger rule when applying it over the skin. Always remember to protect the skin win sunscreen to prevent aging skin.

Also managed to get my skin analysed previously, apparently my skin is not a fan of the sun

After completing the “30 Hari Kulit Sihat Raya Berseri”challenge, and I must say, my skin has been well-behaved despite the fasting. I love how each day has a difference challenge set by Cetaphil. The campaign itself, reminds you to give your skin some love too. I just love that the skincare steps with Cetaphil have always been minimal, yet still providing my skin and body with all the essential care it needs. 

My skin appearance after my 30 days challenge

And with that, I shall conclude my skincare with these 4 simple steps to practice. ⁠I have no doubts when it comes to Cetaphil as its known to be the No. 1 dermatological skincare brand in Malaysia. And thanks to its Pioneer in researching sensitive skin for over 75 years the brand offers a Core blend of ingredients strengthens the skin barrier, boosting ALL (15) ceramide classes in the skin.

[REVIEW] Murad Correct & Protect Serum Broad Spectrum SPF 45

Sun protection is key when it comes to anti-aging prevention. I used to be a make up kind of girl, and i was obssessed with all the shades available in store. But somehow, upon turning 30, i noticed that im more into bare skin, letting the skin breath rather than puting a thick layer to hide that natural beauty. Thus leading to my topic for today in reviewing the Murad Correct & Protect Serum. I know what youre thinking, is it a serum or a sunscreen? Well, surprise its BOTH! Couldnt resist getting the best skincare thats in the market, and we all know that Murad has a really good history when it comes to providing resultful products. 

A little ice breaker on what the product offers, its a satin smooth serum that consists of 100% mineral SPF which has been clinically proven to visibly correct discoloration and prevent future hyperpigmentation. Consider it as a one step reduction where sunscreen is already applied within the serum. I love the fact that its a serum sunscreen because on days when im indoors, we dont really want to waste good make up and take too much effort on applying suncreen. So this makes an amazing alternative when it comes to correcting and protecting the skin, all in one bottle.

Correcting Feature

The serum contains Carotenoid technology which reflects the UV light that offers the skin that instant glow and acts as a powerful antioxidant to brighten and reduce visible discoloration while the beetroot helps to hydrate the skin. In terms of functionality, its pretty good for daily usage to protect while getting reduction in discoloration on the skin. I can't be too sure about pigmentations, but I would say that it does leave a natural glow over the skin after application

Protecting Feature

Now, I don't think I need to elaborate much on the protecting side, but other than keeping that harsh UV ray away from the skin, it actually offers a broad-spectrum, mineral UV protection that doesn't leave a white cast to offer that natural-looking radiant skin. It has also been clinically tested on Fitzpatrick skin types 1 to 6 as well. So, basically its pretty much the best sunscreen that youre ever need to apply over the skin. 

Texture

In terms of texture, i would have to say that it has a translucent whitish ampoule texture, but as you glide it over your skin, you'd be surprised on how lightweight it is as a sunscreen. Feels like serum, but offers the benefits of sunscreen. Hands down, by far the best 2-in-1 innovation by Murad. I personally enjoy this alot because im going to admit that im very busy, and not going to lie, i may have skipped sunscreen on some days because i dont entirely enjoy the texture. But now with Murad's Correct & Protect, i won't have to worry about sunscreen because its already incorporated into my serum. It's fast absorbing, moisturizing and it keeps the skin hydrated throughout the day pretty well. 

How to use

Just like any other serum, first you cleanse the skin, followed by the toning step. Then just apply your favourite serum and moisturizer, and finally shake the Murad Correct & Protect Serum Broad Spectrum SPF 45 and. apply it over face, neck and chest. But psst, on days that im ultimately lazy, after cleansing and toner, i would just apply this over my skin and im good to go!

Verdict

As a verdict, i would share that its really perfect for those with balanced, oily, combination, dry and sensitive skin and in my case, its not too oily over my combination skin, which i love. If you're looking for a lightweight sunscreen, this would highly be recommended by me. It comes with a hefty price tag, but for the innovation of a serum like a sunscreen, i wouldn't say any other brand would be able to replicate this formula. It's priced at RM358 for a 30ml bottle and can get it from Murad's official website. Do check out the official website below for more info on the product.
