Get Flawless Skin, Model Paula Andrea Only Uses 2 Skincare Products Every Morning

Dream - The demand to always have a perfect appearance often leads people to think that models or public figures often undergo expensive treatments. However, that is not the case for everyone.

Some models take care of their skin in a simple way, just like what Paula Andrea does. The runner-up of Indonesia's Next Top Model season three only uses 2 skincare products in the morning.

"In the morning, I use serum first, then sunscreen, and then I apply makeup," she said during the Relaunch Shangpree event in Kota Kasablanka, South Jakarta, on Thursday, August 24, 2023.

Before using serum, the 22-year-old model cleanses her face with water. "In the morning, I don't use cleanser, just water, luckily my skin is tough," Paula said.

Although Paula's morning skincare routine is very simple, she uses quite a lot of skincare products at night. This is to ensure that her skin is hydrated and nourished optimally during sleep.

"At night, I use several products, but it depends on my mood. First, I use toner, essence, moisturizer, retinol, eye cream, and I also use eyelash growth serum, but not regularly," said the Surabaya-born model.

Only Using Moisturizer

Meanwhile, when traveling, Paula only uses moisturizer. This is to be more practical and save time.

"Photo shoots can finish late at night or early in the morning, and I'm already tired, so I just take a shower and go to sleep," she said.

She admitted that this skincare routine is enough to keep her skin healthy and flawless. This is evident from her flawless makeup, even though she only uses cushion, contour, blush, mascara, eyebrow products, and lip tint.

"I like it simple and natural, just the way it is," Paula said.

The skincare products used by Paula can be found in the skincare range from Korea, Shangpree. Starting from AA Blemish Ampoule containing centella asiatica, AA Sebum Control Cream, AA Water Toner, to CC Silky Essence with galactomyces ferment filtrate content. These products that can address skin problems and prevent premature aging can be found at the nearest C&F store.

3 Basic Skincare Rituals, Don't Forget

Dream – Taking care of the skin should be done every day. Dream friends may have certain favorite products and apply them in layers, in order to keep the skin glowing.

It's okay to do layering with skincare products, but make sure not to neglect the three fundamental things in skincare. These three things are often forgotten, which actually diminishes the effectiveness of skincare.

Dr. Listya Paramita, Sp.KK through her Instagram @drmita.spkk account reminds everyone to always do basic skincare. It consists of only 3 steps, namely cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting. Each step has its own function for skin health and care.

"Basic skincare can be done at any age, just 3 steps are enough. Many people "feel" like their skin has no problems, so they "feel" like they don't need skincare. Actually, if there are no problems, don't go looking for them. Maintain skin health by taking care of it regularly. Taking care to keep it healthy doesn't have to wait for problems to arise, right?" she wrote.

Cleansing functions to clean the skin from dirt, oil, and impurities. Next, moisturizing functions to maintain skin hydration in optimal condition, and also maintain the skin barrier in good condition. Meanwhile, protecting functions to protect the skin from UV exposure.

These three steps can be applied at any age. It should be noted that basic skincare only applies to Dream friends who do not have serious skin problems.

With these 3 basic skincare steps, the skin is already healthy enough and can prevent various problems. So, don't underestimate "the power of basic skincare" Dream friends.

Face Still Dull Even After Using Skincare? This is the Reason

Dream – Using skincare is not the only thing to consider in order to achieve a healthy and perfect facial skin appearance.

You also need to pay attention to the detailed application and selection of products used daily. If you don't do the proper care, your face can look dull.

Here are various causes of dull skin when you regularly take care of your face, as revealed on Dermatologist Hari Darmawan's personal Instagram.

1. Not using skincare in the correct order

The order of skincare is very important to maintain the effectiveness of product application. Usually, skincare is applied starting from the most liquid formula to the thickest. You can also find the instructions for product application on the packaging to ensure proper usage.

2. Choosing the wrong skincare

Despite the abundance of information about choosing skincare, it is still possible to make mistakes. Therefore, always pay attention to the ingredients and types of skincare products to ensure that the skincare used is suitable for your needs and skin condition.

3. Neglecting sunscreen

One of the main causes of dull skin is not using sunscreen, especially if you are frequently exposed to sunlight. Therefore, use sunscreen to prevent hyperpigmentation, premature aging, dullness, skin cancer, and other problems.

4. Rarely exfoliating

In addition to not using sunscreen, rarely exfoliating can also be a major cause of dull skin. This is because skin that is not exfoliated will accumulate dead skin cells and cause dullness and other skin problems.

Therefore, it is recommended to exfoliate the skin 1-2 times a week using a chemical or physical exfoliator to remove the dead skin cells that cause dullness.
