What's your skin type?

As I have mentioned before in my Skincare Routine post, I am dry and oily in my T-Zone. My skin is also very sensitive.
This is a photo of my skin 2 hours after I just cleansed my face. I didn't use any other products after that. That's a good way of telling what kind of skin type you have. After 2 hours you can really tell which parts are dry, oily and normal.
You can see from this picture that down my forehead and my nose it's a bit oily and every where else is normal. Although, it did feel dry and you can see redness in my cheeks, from Rosales.

How do you store your skincare products?

I store majority of my skin care products in my bathroom on a shelf above my toilet. The only thing I keep in my bedroom is my moisturizer. I know it's really not that great to keep your skincare products in the bathroom, but I have a small apartment and there is not much room too put it anywhere else. 

Favorite Ingredient?

My favorite for now has to be antioxidants! Antioxidants protect the skin from free radicals, which can damage skin cells. As some of us may know, that antioxidants are healthy for your body in general, because it protects the body from harmful molecules. Antioxidants is great in skin care products, because it can do a lot for the health and appearance in your skin, such as, reducing the sings of aging.

Most Indulgent Product?

For my most indulgent product I would have to say my Tatcha Polished Classic Rice Enzyme Powder. I've never gotten the full size, which is $65. But, since I usually only use at night time, the smaller one (which is $15) lasts me a while that I don't think I'll ever justify getting the bigger one! Saves me a lot of money!! 

Best Budget Buy?

My best budget buy would I have to my Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner. You can get this pretty much at any drugstore, Wal-Mart, CVS or Walgreen's. I do like this and how it has Alpha and Beta Hydroxy to help penetrates and really gets out all the crap out of my pores. 
I do however, after I finish this toner, want to try the Pixi Glow Tonic which is Alcohol Free! The Neutrogena one does dry out my skin a little because of the alcohol.

Do you use and tools (Clarisonic, Foreo,ect.)?

I don't really use any tools. The only thing that I use besides for my hands is a wash cloth to dry my face! I'm not a big believer on using cleansing brushes. I feel like they could be too harsh on the skin. When it comes to my skin I feel like I need to be in-control! If I were ever to use a cleansing brush of any sort I would probably end up using a non-battery power cleansing brush. Like the 100% Pure Facial Cleansing Brush, which I've been thinking about getting!
Another tool that I am thinking of getting is a Jade Roller Facial Massager. Just like it's healthy and relaxing to massage your body... the same goes for your face! Facial massagers are good for plumping your face and anti-aging!

Best Mask?

I haven't really tried that many masks yet, but I did try a couple of them! The one that I like the most that I have tried so far is the Derma-E Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask! I love how this feels during and after I use it! This takes out all the crap out of your face and leaves it soft after the exfoliation! The only con I have about this mask, is that, it's such little product! I really only got like 5 uses out of it! Maybe I'm using too much product? I don't know...

Best Mutli-use?

I don't really have a multi-use product. But I have a product that does multiple things! Does that count?! Well, I'm going to tell you anyways! It would have to be my Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate​! I can't necessarily use this for two separate times for two separate things. But it does do multiple things at one time! For example, it helps with my hyper-pigmentation and smooths the texture of my skin. That's what makes in "multi-use"!! Ahhh, ahhh, see what I did there?!

if you had to, What is the one brand you would stick to?

I don't really have one brand that I would stick to because I haven't tried that many different brands yet. Like, I haven't used two different brands yet for the same thing... if you get what I mean?! I hope so!
Anyways, I do want to try more things from Paula's Choice! So I'll keep you posted on that!

Best Spot Treatment? 

Ok, so this is going to sound weird, but my favorite spot treatment is something called Zap-it! When my husband and I were dating I had a pimple coming through and it was hurting me. My husband, Gabi, offered me to try this. This stuff never fails me! As soon as I'm getting a pimple I take a cotton swab with some of this tuff and put it on my blemish and it's pretty much gone the next day! I can't seem to find it anywhere, because my husband's sister gave it to him and he doesn't know where she got it from. So if anyone's heard of this stuff and know where to get more, please let me know in the comments!!

Favorite step of your skincare routine

My favorite part of my routine has to be putting on serums and moisturizers! I know a lot of people say "taking off their make-up" is their favorite part! But, I have to say though, I love massaging my face with my serums and moisturizers! It's so healthy massaging your face! It improves circulation and lymph drainage. It's just so relaxing! 

What's on your skincare wishlist?

I have always wanted to try the Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil! It is a very pricey product but I have only heard great things about it! I don't think I will be able to ever afford this, but one can hope and dream and save!!

Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this tag! If you would like to do this tag as well please share! I would love to hear your answers to these questions!

I hope you enjoyed!

Have a wonderful day!
