My skin is reactive, sensitive, and a bit more on the dryer side. Usually if I leave it alone, don’t try to experiment with too many new products and keep a balanced diet, it behaves well. The problem is that if I fail to keep any of these in check, it reacts quite badly. Stress also plays a big factor in how my skin looks, especially if I am overwhelmed, it tends to get itchy and red.
So overtime, I built a routine that I tailored to my skin, body, and habits. I have a pretty strict schedule, especially in the evening before my night routine. I do everything quite early, I eat dinner between 6pm and 7pm so that I can brush my teeth and do my skincare as soon as possible. I go to sleep pretty early, around 9:30, so I like my skincare to marinate on my skin for a few hours before I put my face on my pillow and sleep. For some reason I’m convinced that if I go to sleep right after I do my skincare, my pillow will absorb all the product and my skin won’t get any of the benefits.
As for my actual skincare routine, and the products I use, it’s more or less the same in the morning and at night, the only difference is that I add sunscreen in the morning only. I start off with the MOSAIK Hydrating Cream Cleanser (my absolute favorite product), it has a great texture, it really cleanses my skin perfectly, it gets all the residues and makeup off my face so I can follow up with my other products nicely. Then I like to use the MOSAIK FaceRx M02 Serum, which to me is the real game-changer! I let it sit a bit so it can dry before I layer anything else on top. This is the one product that has genuinely made a difference in my skin, especially in my skin texture. Then, since I have a pimple scar, I apply SVR spot treatment (with niacinamide and azelaic acid), to help reduce the pigmentation. I let it set for a bit, as it kind of forms a little patch on the area that you apply it on. Then I seal everything with the Purito Panthenol Bamboo Cream as my daily face cream, it pairs really well with the other products and it seems to nourish my dry skin perfectly. I also like to apply MOSAIK Face+ Balm on my lips, and on the days I get one weird dry flaky patch, I do apply it on that spot as well. If it’s morning I complete it with the Skin 1004 Centella Hyalu Fit Sunscreen. And on the days that I stay in, if I know I’m gonna turn the AC on, I spray some MOSAIK Calming Face Mist as my last step to get in some extra hydration. I also really like how it feels on my skin. I’m actually quite excited to put it in my fridge this summer so I can spray it on my face during the day to feel refreshed!
I do use quite a lot of products from MOSAIK, but I swear it’s not only because I work for the brand, I just really love the products. I have tried all the serums, and I loved seeing which one fits my skin perfectly, and I just feel really comfortable using MOSAIK products in my daily routine as my sensitive skin seems to really like them as well. I have been using this routine for over 6 months consistently and my skin is feeling great, the texture has improved, and I fixed some of the issues I had with dry spots on my face.
I think I am especially loyal to MOSAIK Cream Cleanser and M02 serum, as they really have been the two products that helped my skin the most, and I’m open to trying out new products in my routine, as long as it pairs well with these two.
If I could give one piece of advice to people with the same skin type as me, it would be: please be careful. Always do research about what is in the products you are using. Make sure you read the ingredient list. And don’t get too influenced by what you see on social media. To me, MOSAIK is the kind of brand that isn’t viral on social media (at least not yet) but that does actually deliver great results, and that has natural ingredients made to fit sensitive skin. I think it’s better to spend more on two products that are a bit more on the pricier side if they are actually safe for your skin and effective, rather than buying six cheap products full of fragrance that will burn your skin.
