When we are young we often skip a good skincare routine as our skin already feels good but as we age we realise the importance. Recently, I have started my skincare journey with IDS skincare at Orchard Road.
Once you hit your 40s you realise to include the proper skincare products every day which are just suitable for your skin but you need to follow a regime to see the results as well. Singapore’s humid weather often makes me skip my routine even with aircon as I really can’t sleep properly with those thick anti-ageing creams.
I have fixed my first appointment with Dr Benjamin Yim, who is a renowned specialist with more than 15 years of experience to analyse my overall skin and any skin-related issues with age.
I do have my own skin concerns – ageing skin, dry skin, lack of moisture and from some time I have kind of dehydrated skin which I can feel along with some pigmentation on the cheeks which Dr Yim also noticed. The pigmentation may be because of more sun exposure and not using the proper sunscreen and he recommended the customised skincare routine according to my skin type.
This was clicked at the clinic to get a closer picture of my skin and so glad they properly explained step by step regime to follow every day.
Here to my 6 + 1 steps skincare journey with IDS Skincare.
I have been recommended one more secret step will I share towards the end and can’t wait to include that in my skincare routine.
Sharing them in the order of usage and how I layer them together without feeling too much on my skin.
1. Delicate Cleanser (C2)
This cleanser is pretty mild enough and works well to remove regular makeup as well as lift away dirt, grim and pollutants from the skin. It also contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant botanical extracts to help combat redness, environmental stress and even softens the skin.
2. Delicate Toner (T2)
Fortified with natural plant extracts to enhance hydration and soothing properties, this delicate toner refreshes and invigorates skin instantly, while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture balance. It also aids in skin regeneration and the condition of superficially damaged skin. Just need to spray after you have cleansed your face.
3. C- Plus (C+)
This is such a light age-defence serum formulated with a potent form of Vitamin C and increases collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, even skin tone and lightens old acne marks as well.
4. Rejuvenating Complex (RC)
As its name says this absolutely rejuvenate your matured skin and has a comprehensive array of ingredients including minerals, adenosine, elastin and hyaluronate that target multiple signs of ageing all at once. Achieve instant visible improvement in skin texture, and reduction in fine lines and wrinkles with continued and prolonged use.
5. Moisture Boost (MB)
I think this bottle is everything you need in one moisturizer. This creamy formulation works beyond just keeping the skin moisturized. It boasts a powerful curated blend of ingredients that includes essential ceramides, skin-repairing and emollient ingredients to help you restore and maintain the natural protective function of the skin’s barrier function, as well as restore damaged skin, leaving skin supple, bouncy and radiant.
6. Sunscreen (S2 Non-Tinted Sunscreen)
This non-tinted sunscreen is an ultra-lightweight daily skin protector designed to provide a clear, specific, best-in-class suite of must-have wellness and prevention benefits. It comes with mineral-based sun protection, patented pollution and blue light protection, and an anti-oxidant enhancement, each application is a daily health boost.
and my +1 is SL2 for pigmentation. This is a prescribed one and to be used only if advised.
