My updated skincare regime with IDS Skincare ❤


Hey all~

I did a little challenge on my Instagram Stories on purely using IDS products for 30 days to "revert" my skin health because I have been trying a lot of makeup and skincare (some obviously not really suitable for my highly sensitive skin) and I've been left with breakouts, eczema and dry patches on my face.

On top of that, I've been kinda stressed out lately due to work and some personal stuffs going on and look what a combination of bad skincare regime, testing makeup products and unhealthy lifestyle/stress can do to one's skin....


I was really sad and I literally sat myself down and gave myself a pep talk.. and embarked on my 30-day ONLY IDS SKINCARE skin regime because I was so determined to "fix" my complexion again.


So before I start to share on my full on IDS Skincare regime, these are my BEFORE-AFTER pics!





And then of course one month later...

A comparison of the before and after

Okay I admit, I'm still gonna be hand and heart itchy and still want to try new products.
But my point is that for all these years since I was 14, I have NEVER EVER thought of ditching my IDS Skincare Regime and I always tend to go back over and over again.

Why?

This is a story really close to my heart :

I remember the very day when I first stepped into Dr SK Tan’s clinic - I was skeptical, terrified and really young then; 14 or 15 perhaps?
My mum brought me to him because she heard a lot about him and she wanted to help me fight my cystic acne skin issues.
I was really devastated then and stayed home a lot because I didn’t have confidence due to my skin condition.
Time flies and it’s been 14 years now and I’m still loving IDS, the skincare, the aesthetics and the TLC from the Doctors.
I’m so proud to say my skin is now at its best with the help of IDS and I’m never looking back.
This is me, smiling, comfy in my own skin typing my most honest review about @IDSSkincare, @IDSAesthetics & @IDSClinic ❤️
My review for #TheHonestCampaign 💋


That said, I genuinely believe in IDS Skincare.
Yes, a lot of you might think, "Aiya, cos you're sponsored by them ma,"

Yes it's true, I am, but it's because I BELIEVE in the Skincare, the Aesthetics, the Doctors and I'm really grateful and lucky to be able to work with this amazing brand and lovely bunch behind it and guess what - I'm even able to convert my own Mum (who can be a little tad "stubborn" when it comes to switching to new skincare brands - since she has been using Dr SK Tan's old brand so she got so comfortable until she started experiencing herself with IDS Skincare!) - now we can share IDS products and she even sign up facial packages with IDS Aesthetics!

Let's move on to my updated IDS Skincare regime, shall we?
This is gonna be exciting (I promise!) because there are some new products from IDS that I have yet to share about!


Ta-da! 
My new and updated IDS Skincare regime!

STEP 1 : CLEANSE 

I use the C2 Delicate Cleanser from IDS Skincare to remove all remaining traces of makeup.


What I really like : 
The Delicate Cleanser helps support skin renewal, tones and strengthens skin immunity and most importantly for me, combats redness, moisturizes and softens my skin!

My skin can be such a b**** sometimes because it's so sensitive so it's so hard to find a cleanser that does not strip off my skin's natural moisture and give me dry patches and this is by far the ONLY CLEANSER that does it's job and is mild enough for me.  😍

---

STEP 2 : TONER



I think the most common thing I hear about Toners are 
"Eh why must we use skin toners ah? What's the use of it? Can we skip it?"

I think it's really subjective, but for me, using a good toner helps to tighten pores after cleansing your skin so I won't be skipping it because I tend to get really irritated by the pores on my skin. 😭


This one's easy to use!
It's in a mist form and simply spray mist onto to face and neck from a distance of about 10 – 15 cm, avoiding directly spraying eyes, nostrils, lips and earlobes!
You can also spray mist onto clean cotton pad and gently wipe all over your face.


What I really like : 
The Delicated Toner is super gentle on my skin and helps to remove any dead skin cells, debris and remaining makeup residue.
It's also very moisturising because it's enhanced with natural ingredients and also helps to soothe my irritated skin and helps reduce inflammation - I notice less patchiness and redness on my skin after using this every single time!


---

STEP 3 : C+

Oh boy.. I can't even start by saying how much I ADORE C+.
It's a MUST-HAVE ever since I started using it from Day 1 because I noticed results in just 3 days after using it for the first time, no kidding!



If you're wondering what this is, this is a total superstar age-defense serum that is formulated with a potent form of Vitamin C, with Nobel Prize ‘Fullerenes’ and Tocopheryl to exhibit a superior antioxidant action and strong collagen stimulation!

It ALWAYS give me brighter skin after each use and somehow my skin heals faster from scars, pimples or anything nasty whenever I use this.


This award-winning product also results in a ‘wrinkle-free’ effect and is raved by many too!


The absorption is quick and the serum is watery and lightweight so you don't have to fear that it's too "rich" for your skin!


What I really like :
The C+ serum helps to increases collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and has skin-lightening action to help produce an even skin-tone and lightens old acne marks.
Oh and it has anti-acne action too!

STEP 4 : PF

If you're not a big fan of whiteheads and blackheads, this is a MUST-HAVE.




<<Read more about it here>>

So how PF works is by refining your pores and reduce blackheads and whiteheads.
It is said to help curb oil production in our skin too!

And do you know that the PF is formulated with IDS’ proprietary NEULASTIN transcutaneous delivery system, whereby active ingredients are effectively delivered and absorbed into the skin - imagine all the goodness your skin is going to take in! 😍


Honestly I do find that the texture is a little sticky and I'm not a fan of the smell..
But no pain no gain - and this product really works in helping me curb my skin's oil production especially on the T-zone area!

What I really like :
The PF helps clear my blackheads, whiteheads and blemishes, is non-oily and gentle on my skin!
I must say there is an overall improvement of my skin texture after using too!


Me going. "Okay I don't like the smell of you but I do like you, PF."
HAHAHA

STEP 5 : BC

I was recommended this together with PF, as it's said that these two are the ultimate combi! 



Okay I must admit, sometimes I do skip this because I don't have crazy huge or inflamed blemishes but I like to use this once in a while to help to lighten old marks or when my skin gets a little cranky during the time of the month.


The texture is pretty light too and if I do use this I usually apply this right after PF.


What I really like :
When I have an inflamed blemish and whiteheads this is just perfect!
It also helps to lighten old blemish marks and regulates my skin's sebum production!

STEP 6 : MB

Ever since I was introduced this baby, it's a daily MUST-USE for me.
My skin is thirsty (I mean it when I say this) and this product is just perfect to solve all of 
my dry skin woes!


Yes this is from IDS Skincare's Prestige range so if you're wondering if this range can be used with the normal range and vice versa, yes yes YES they can! 😍



This moisturiser boasts a powerful curated blend of ingredients that includes essential ceramides, skin-repairing and emollient ingredients to help you restore and maintain the natural protective function of the skin’s barrier function, as well as restore damaged skin, leaving skin supple, bouncy and radiant!


One of my main concerns when finding a suitable moisturiser is that it is too heavy or rich for my skin but this one has a lightweight yet creamy formulation works with enhanced moisturization and protection against dryness and skin sensitivity.

PERFECT FOR ME!


What I like about it :
I see an immediate improvement in skin texture just after a week of using it and my skin is constantly hydrated after using MB, which in turn gives me soft, supple, bouncy and radiant skin!
I LOVE! 😍

---

Okay so if I have to pick out two of my favourites and MUST-HAVES :


C+ and MB win, hands down!
Obviously I would like all of you to also try out the other IDS Skincare products but if I really have to just pick two to highly recommend, these two will be it!

On certain days when I experience extreme skin redness or patchy sensitive skin
I will use the Recovery Serum to help curb this issue!
