Philippines Edition: Perfect Your Skincare Routine

Philippines Edition: Perfect Your Skincare Routine

It wasn’t until recently that I became convinced about skincare—probably around the time I hit 40. It’s then that those pesky crow’s-feet began showing up prominently beside my eyes, along with several other bodily transformations I’d rather not discuss publicly. Adhering to a regimen consisting of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing felt completely foreign to me initially. Just so we’re clear, when attaching a numeral to a compound modifier, such as “three-step,” only ‘step’ gets hyphenated; the whole phrase functions together as an adjective.
Fast forward a few years, and nothing holds greater importance for me except perhaps attending Sunday mass: diligently following my nighttime skincare ritual has become second nature, and this isn’t something I plan on changing anytime soon. Given my delicate complexion, items that work well include the Neutrogena Acne Clear Cleanser, a Japanese-made Vitamin-C Toner often purchased at Don Quijote, alongside the Oxecure Anti-Acne Moisturizer.
