Oh nice, fragrance free. Rare to see
Yeah AHA scrubs are really good for targeting dead skill cells much deeper than a surface scrub. I incorporate an AHA often into my routine (Alpha-H Liquid Gold with Glycolic Acid).
Monday morning: Shower, shave legs and arms, QV Intensive Urea Cream on legs and arms, regular QV moisturiser elsewhere.
Monday night: Rinse particularly legs and arms, Alpha-H on legs and arms.
Tuesday morning: Shower, Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub all over, QV intensive.
Tuesday night: Rinse, regular moisturiser (I use a Nivea firming lotion for these nights)
Wednesday morning: Shower, QV Intensive.
Wednesday night: Rinse, Alpha-H.
Then this basically repeats 🙂
So basically, the breakdown of everything mentioned:
Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub - For physically removing surface dead skin cells, immediately smooth, and the scents are soooo gooood (I like Moroccan Rose the best). And little bonus note, imo a bright vanilla coconut scent sitting over the subtle Moroccan Rose from the morning is a really really nice combo 🙂.
Alpha-H - For dissolving dead cell buildup on a deeper level, and improving overall texture and skin tone, evening everything out.
QV Intensive Urea Cream - For moisture retention which I have an issue with currently.
Nivea Firming - Just a nice moisturiser that works really well with my skin.
thx, there is so much stuff I've been missing out on... like shit no wonder why people take care of themselves it feels great :3
Whoah, thats quite the routine, how much time does it take you approximately?
Not too long really. Including shower time in the morning, probs about 45mins to 1hour all up on the longest days. At night, about 30mins. At night I also do a Kerasal treatment on my feet and sleep in cotton socks, I do this whenever I remember to do it lol, so with this as well it takes my night routine to about 45mins, 1hr if I also foot file as well ☺️
Ouuuu I haven't tried this brand before. Exfoliation day is always my favorite haha
