Water-Based Skincare Products for My Daily Use
How can we protect our facial skin from any ingredients of our daily cosmetics?
Personally, I don’t wear a heavy make up on my daily activities. I only use CC or BB cream, compact powder, blush on, shading and eyelashes. It is just a simple make up but I need minutes for the application in the morning.
Even though I don’t wear a full make up, I still need to protect my facial skin from the ingredients that contain in each make up. Usually, I start to apply the skincare products in all over my face after cleansing my facial skin in the morning and at night. In my opinion, these skincare products can be functioned as the make up base and cover the skin pores from the maximum amounts of make up’s ingredients and any facial cream.
Types of skincare products that I prefer to apply every day
Water-Based Skincare Products
I really like to have the fresh feeling on my face before applying the make up. This is one of the reasons why I chose the water-based skincare products to freshen my facial skin and give the extra hydration.
There are 3 types water-based skincare products that I can’t live without every single day.
