IRON MIKE.

‛ navigation computer, the captain and fisherman’s friend who could steer perfectly. ’

‛ they called him iron mike. ’

‛ in the dead of the night he steered the way through the darkness. ’

‛ iron mike didn’t see the red light on the reef. ’

‛ he’d been known to throw back one or two. ’

‛ yet no one thought twice when he set autopilot and retired below with the crew. ’

‛ from the two am stillness came the cry of the third mate. ’

‛ someone better go wake up the chief! ’

‛ yet by then it was too late. ’

‛ the starboard tanks had 12 foot gashes cut out by bligh reef. ’

‛ the forget-me-nots cried and the salmon all died and the fisherman wore black armbands. ’

‛ and the spokesmen from exxon said, ‘no major damage,’ though six million gallons remain in the sands. ’

‛ and from rocky point down to mount freemantle, you can still see the black film on the soil. ’

‛ and the echoes rebound throughout prince william sound of half frozen animals, choking in oil. ’

‛ who’s at the helm of this ship of state? ’

‛ we’ve in for some rough navigation. ’

‛ we have the power – the hour is late. ’

‛ gotta get tough and clean up the nation. ’

‛ black rainbows of exxon lightgrade again flowed, like hot fudge in a big apple spill. ’

‛ the detection machine had malfunctioned quite often, repair procedure so hard to enforce. ’

‛ and down on prall’s island, the cleanup begins. ’

‛ and the horror continues till we chart our own course. ’

‛ it’s the dead of the night. ’

‛ we can steer a new way through the darkness. ’

‛ we must see the light for relief. ’

FIND THE KEY.

Morning Skin Care Routine

New Post has been published on https://skin-care-routine.com/skin-care-routine/morning-skin-care-routine/

Morning Skin Care Routine

A. Morning Skincare Routine

We all know the importance of skin care at night, but a solid morning routine is just as important. Night skin care aims to solve skin problems before the sleep regeneration process begins. However, night skin care involves protection and maintenance. You can no longer create youthful skin afterwards, only the one you have now.

There could easily be twelve steps to the most effective morning skin care routine, but let’s face it … no one has time for that. If you only manage to reach the high notes listed below every morning, you will be on your way to a perfect face all day.

1. Cleaning oil

If you use oil-based products at night, an oil morning cleansing is an absolute must to effectively remove these products and anything they have left on the skin’s surface overnight.

a. Subscription

Heat two doses of your oil-based detergent in the palm of your hand before massaging your skin and neck. Then, take a minute to work with the product and stimulate blood circulation. Rinse with warm water and leave the skin moist.

2. Water based detergent

Having a low pH water based cleanser on your morning skin regimen will help to cleanse it completely, without causing redness that is difficult to soothe before applying makeup.

a. Subscription

While your face is still damp from the first step, foam it with your water-based cleanser and let it sit on your skin like a mask for a few minutes, if you have time (I usually use that time to brush my teeth). and rinse with cold water. Press a clean towel over your skin to dry – do not rub.

3. Toner

Toner is easily the most misunderstood and much more important skin product than is believed. Toner is the first barrier product you apply. A good toner balances the skin’s pH and is known to provide moisture. Don’t touch your skin like your astringent did in high school.

Place the cotton pads. Anything you put between your fingers and your face can irritate your skin. So, start practicing pressure. Beat a few drops of toner on the face and press for even application.

4. Serum

The most important (and expensive) step in your morning skin care routine – in addition to sunscreen – is a serum rich in antioxidants. Your face faces many agents who want to damage you throughout the day: exhaust fumes from the city bus, the dirty phone screen, cortisol levels during a 3 pm conference call, etc. Serums ensure that none of these stressors live forever like fine lines between your eyebrows.

The best thing about serums is that a little bit really goes a long way, which makes the high price a little easier to bear. Squeeze a few doses onto the freshly painted skin and let them absorb completely before proceeding.

5. Moisturizer

There is not much hydrated skin, and your sunscreen should not be used as a moisturizer substitute. These two products have very different purposes and are not interchangeable, no matter how moisturizing you want your sunscreen to be.

Press a thin layer on the skin and let it soak completely.

6. Sunscreen

If you only had time to take a skin product every morning, consider using sunscreen. Daily sun protection is just as important as drinking water and paying parking fees on time. So there is no excuse for not doing this.

Squeeze a quarter of the amount on your face and an additional quarter of the amount on your neck and décolleté.

7. Optional: primer

The primer consists of equal parts of skin care and makeup. However, this is an optional step if you do not want to apply pigmented products after sunscreen. The primer not only allows the foundation to be applied more perfectly, it is also the final protective barrier for your skin.

B. The Ultimate Morning Skin Care Routine That You Need To Follow

Imagine starting your day with a therapeutic program that brightens and refreshes your skin and leaves you looking great. Isn’t that the perfect way to start the day? It’s time for you to follow a strict skin care regime in the morning as well, preparing your skin to face the world. Here is our definitive guide to the best morning skin care routine of all time.

1. Start with a cleansing oil

Most importantly first – clean up any buildup and dirt overnight. Use a cleansing oil – it will not only remove makeup and excess oil, but will also soften your skin.

Try bareMinerals Oil Obsessed total cleansing oil. It is light and suitable for all skin types. All you need to do is warm up a few drops of the detergent by rubbing it on your palms. Rub it on your face and rub in a circular motion. Finally, rinse with warm water. Don’t dry your face.

2. Follow up with a water-based detergent

Then use a non-greasy cleanser that will completely clean your face and remove any remaining residue and debris. Choose a soothing cleanser with a low pH that won’t irritate your skin.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a great choice. Gently massage your face in a circular motion and wash with warm water. Dry your face with a clean towel.

3. Use toner

Tightening your face is very important. A good toner will help to remove any oil and dirt left by a detergent. It reduces pores and balances the skin’s pH.

Toners prevent your skin from producing excess oil. Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Multi-Action Toning Lotion is a great choice. Take enough toner, apply it evenly to the face and let it be absorbed by the skin.

4. Don’t forget the serum

Serums are highly concentrated solutions that target and solve specific skin problems. Depending on your problem, select a serum and the results will appear.

Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster is useful for improving the health of your skin. Take a few drops of the serum and warm it by rubbing it between your palms.

Apply the serum to the skin starting at the nose and working to get out. Leave for 2-3 minutes to be absorbed by the skin.

5. Moisten well

Depending on your skin type, choose a creamy, moisturizing lotion or water-based gel to nourish and maintain moisture on your skin.

The moisturizer protects your skin against dryness during the day. The Aveeno positively radiant daily facial moisturizer is a great choice.

Take a few drops of moisturizer and apply it gently to your face and neck. Massage it into the skin until the moisturizer is absorbed.

6. Use sunscreen

You need a sunscreen with at least Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30 to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. Sunscreens protect the skin from sun damage that can cause wrinkles, fine lines and blemishes.

The Mad Hippie 30+ Zinc Oxide Facial Sun Protection Factor is a chemical-free sunscreen that protects your skin. Apply sunscreen and massage evenly into the skin.

7. Protect with an eye cream

The skin under the eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive part of the face. Therefore, you need to use products designed specifically for that area.

Eye creams treat problems under the eyes, such as dryness, wrinkles and puffiness. The fresh black tea Age-Delay Eye Concentrate perfectly hydrates the eye area and prevents the signs of aging.

8. Preparation

The primer will help to apply the foundation and makeup smoothly and for a longer time. The bases are products in which your BB creams or bases last longer. Use your fingertips to smooth the product on your skin. Clean Slate Poreless Perfecting 12 Hour Foundation is the perfect choice, as it minimizes the appearance of pores and imperfections.

These steps will help you start the day perfectly and your skin will have a good day. And if you follow the steps regularly, you will see a significant improvement in your skin’s health as well. So make sure you follow the morning skin care routine every day.

C. 5-Step Morning Skin Care Routine for Glowing Skin

The skin care regimen, and my morning routine in particular, usually change depending on the time of year and the condition of my skin. As spring approaches, I stretch more to get rid of dry winter skin and use moisturizing bases (think of moisturizing oils and serums) that are less heavy (or greasy) than those I used in winter.

It is not just the products I use, but also the order in which I use them. By using skin products in the most effective way, you will ensure that they are working properly and that you are not wasting your money on expensive skin products.

1. Clean only with water

In the morning, I just clean it with water. As I do a thorough cleaning at night, removing makeup and dirt, I often still feel the product the next morning. To be honest, my skin never looked better than when I wash myself with water in the morning.

If you are skeptical, try a konjac sponge, a soft exfoliating sponge made with konjac root. Natural clays help to cleanse the skin naturally without peeling off oil.

2. Hydrosol (toner)

After cleaning, I use a hydrosol to add a water barrier to my skin. This helps to serve as a good basis for what comes next. My favorite hydrosols contain small amounts of essential oils like lavender or rose, which are great for allowing the active ingredients to penetrate the skin (next step).

3. Serum and active ingredients

Now is the time for what I call “creators”. Products that contain an ingredient – such as salicylic acid – that are supposed to have a certain effect are considered “active ingredients”. These are generally “whitening” or “correcting” products. These products, like serums, address specific problems, concerns, or benefits for your skin.

First, a serum is applied to penetrate the skin directly. Then, I like to use my active ingredients and let them rest for a few minutes before the next steps. In this way, the other products are sealed.

a. Treatments (optional)

This is an optional step, depending on whether you plan to use treatments. For example, this is the stage where I would use a local treatment to cure pimples, or where I could use eye treatments (like serum, oil or cream). The treatments are usually “punctate”, so I apply them after my serum, regardless of consistency. Usually, I also leave the treatment stopped for a minute or two when treating pimples on the spot, as I don’t want to spread the treatment all over my face in the next step.

4. Moisten

I will then change to moisturizer. I tend to opt for intense hydration in the form of a facial balm or heavy facial oil. I rarely use creams because I feel my skin reacts better to whole vegetable oil.

I add the oil by patting the face and massaging the skin with upward movements. I usually take a few minutes for this process. This helps to soak the product in my skin and I feel pampered with a mini facial massage.

When I use a balm, I first warm it in my hands, rubbing it between my hands to get a more oily consistency, then I proceed as mentioned above.

5. Sun protection

You should always apply sunscreen. When I live in Norway, I do a cross-country ski session or spend most of the day in the sun, I use a sunscreen that does not contain nano-minerals. This is environmentally friendly and helps to protect me from hyperpigmentation and other sun damage.

6. The final result

Although skin care products vary from person to person, the order in which you use them can mean the difference between an effective routine and throwing money down the drain. Try it this spring and see how your skin reacts.
