Skincare Routine

Since my last skincare routine update in 2010, I have experimented with many different products until finally with trial and error I have found a routine that works for me. Just so you know, I have normal skin with a slightly oily t-zone.

En son 2010'da yazdigim cilt bakimi rutini postumdan beri bir cok urun denedim ve sonunda deneme yanilma yontemiyle cildiminde cok sevdigi bir rutin yakalayabildim. Haberiniz olsun, benim cildim T-bolgesinde hafif yaglanma disinda normal.

At the end of the day, the very first thing I do is take off my eye makeup. Eye makeup, especially mascara can be the hardest thing to completely remove from face so I take care of that first. I use the amazing Sonia Kashuk eye makeup remover. It removes every last bit of eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara. The solution is very gentle yet effective. There is absolutely no need to tug on skin to get makeup off with this product, oh did I mention no oily residue?

Gun sonunda ilk yaptigim sey goz makyajimi cikarmak. Ozellikle maskara yuzden tamamen cikarilmasi en zor olan sey oldugu icin once onu aradan cikariyorum. Bu is icin Sonia Kashuk goz makyaj cikarticisi favorim. Bu sahane urunun, far, eyeliner ve maskarayi en kucuk zerresine kadar sokup cikarmakta gercekten ustune yok. Solusyon hem nazikce hemde etkili bir sekilde goz makyajini cikarmakta oldukca basarili. Bu arada temizlikten sonra geride yagli bir tortu birakmamasida benim icin buyuk bir arti!

After that I clean my face using La Roche Posay Physiological Cleansing Gel in conjunction with my Clarisonic Mia which I use every other day. It has to be the most gentle cleanser I have used to date. It is in gel form with a faint scent. My face feels much fresher and softer after using this cleanser.

Ondan sonra, La Roche Posay Physiological Cleansing Gel'le yuzumu temizliyorum. Bu islemi gun asiri Clarisonic Mia ile uyguluyorum. Hayatimda kullanmis oldugum en yumusak ve nazik temizleyeci diyebilirim. Jel tarzinda olan bu temizleyici rahatsiz etmeyecek derece hafif bir kokuya sahip. Bu jeli kullandiktan sonra yuzumun kesinlikle daha fresh ve yumusak oldugunu hissediyorum.

With the help of Bioderma Sensibio I remove any trace of makeup left behind. For the most part Physiological Gel does an outstanding job removing makeup. However especially on the days I wear more makeup, my skin needs a little extra help. Bioderma Sensibio's gentle, almost water-like feel and texture gives me a great sense of cleanliness. It leaves my skin feeling very clean and refreshed.

Ozellikle daha agir makyaj yaptigim gunlerde, temizleme isleminden sonra ayrica Bioderma Sensibio'yu da kullaniyorum. Physiological Gel genel olarak makyaj cikarmakta basarili ama bazi gunler Sensibio olmadan olmuyor. Sensibio'nun suya yakin yapisi gercek bir temizlik hissi veriyor ayrica cildimde serin bir ferahlik etkisi yaratiyor.

I use Origins A Perfect World white tea skin guardian as my nighttime moisturizer, although it's marketed as a serum. It has a very light, just slightly greasy formula that absorbs immediately leaving skin soft and supple. It has an almost citrusy but light scent to it. My daytime moisturizer is another product by La Roche Posay, Toleriane Soothing Protective Care. This fragrance-free moisturizer has a rich texture, just a tiny amount is enough to cover my entire face. I find it to be much longer lasting than any moisturizer I have used in the past. I feel like my skin just drinks it up and locks moisture in throughout the day. If I feel like my skin is suffering from dryness, I use the two products together at nighttime.

Bakimimdaki en son adim nemlendirici. Serum olarak satilsada, gece nemlendiricim Origins A Perfect World white tea skin guardian. Cok hafif bir yapiya sahip olan bu serum ayni zamanda birazda yagli. Benim cildim yagli olmadigi icin bir sorun yasamiyorum hatta tam tersine hemen emiyor diyebilirim. Gunluk nemlendiricim ise La Roche Posay Toleriane Soothing Protective Skincare. Kokusuz ve zengin bir yapiya sahip olan bu nemlendiricinin kucucuk bir miktari butun yuzume yetiyor. Ayrica su ana kadar kullanmis oldugum nemlendiriciler icinde cildimde nemi en uzun sure hapsedeni diyebilirim. Cildimde kuruluk yasadigim zamanlarda gece iki urunu beraber kullaniyorum.


When I wake up the next day, I like to start off by spraying my face with Avene Thermal Spring Water and gently sweeping a cotton round across my face to make sure my skin is completely free of anything that's not supposed to be there. I also love using it to set makeup, cool down any redness that may occur on my face or just to freshen up.

Sabah kalkinca yaptigim ilk sey yuzumu Avene Thermal Spring Water'la puskurtup arindirmak. Ayrica bu spreyi makyaj sabitleyicisi, kizarik onaricisi ve gun boyunca sicak bastikca ferahlama amaclida kullaniyorum.

About 2-3 times a week I use Origins Modern Friction facial scrub to get rid off any dead skin. This is also essential for me as I self-tan. That way I always have a clean canvas to apply my self tanner to.

Haftada 2-3 kere Origins'in Modern Friction yuz peelingini uyguluyorum. Solaryuma karsi olan ben careyi bronzlastiricilarda bulup bu yontemi kullandigim icin bu benim icin cok onemli. Boylece her bronzlastirici uygulamasina temiz bir kanvasla baslamis oluyorum.

Once a week, I use Origins Clear Improvement charcoal mask to open up my pores. I really feel my pores breathing after removing this mask. It's one of my favorite masks ever!

Haftada 1 kez gozeneklerimi acmak icin Origins'in Clear Improvement komur maskesini kullaniyorum. Kullanim sonrasi, gercekten gozeneklerimin nefes aldigini hissedebiliyorum. 

On occasion, I will use the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo on spots that randomly show up on my face. Now, Effaclar line is specifically for those with oily/acne prone skin. My skin type is normal but I do get a pimple/spot every now and then and Effaclar Duo seems to do the trick for me. I usually apply it to the effected area nighttime. When I wake up next morning, I can see/feel that the pimple has dried up and on its way to vanishing forever.

Ihtiyacim oldukca La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo'yu yuzumde aniden cikan sivilcelerin ustune gece uyguluyorum. Effaclar aslinda yagli ya da akneye egilimi olan ciltler icin tavsiye ediliyor. Benim cildim normal olmasina ragmen, Effaclar Duo'nun cok faydasini goruyorum. Sabah kalktigimda sivilceler hemen hemen tamamen kurumus oluyor.

For lips, I use Lush's Bubblegum lip scrub. It does a decent job removing dead/dry skin from lips. However, unless you use it very frequently it's hard to tell any difference. I have been keeping it in my shower that way I use it more often.

Dudaklarim icin Lush'in Bubblegum peelingini kullaniyorum. Dudaklardaki olu derinden kurtulmak icin guzel bir peeling. Ancak sikca kullanmak gerekiyorki fark gorulebilsin. Bende daha duzenli kullanabilmek icin artik dusta sampuanlarim yaninda barindiriyorum kendisini.

And that's all folks! I am very content with each product's performance and absolutely recommend them to you if we have the same skin type/concerns. La Roche Posay, Origins Bioderma and Avene all make paraben-free products which are (for what they do) very reasonably priced in my opinion. It's a great feeling knowing that we don't have to spend a fortune for great skincare products.

Cilt bakimi urunlerimden gayet memnunum, benim ayni cilt turune/sorunlarina sahip olanlariniza hepsini tavsiye ediyorum. Bahsettigim butun markalarin urunlerinin bir cogu parabensiz ve fiyat bakimindan oldukca uygun. Kaliteli cilt bakimi icin bir servet harcamak zorunda olmadigimizi bilmek beni mutlu ediyor :)
