Spring Beauty: Morning + Evening Skincare Routines

spring beauty morning and evening skincare routine for glowy skin; prolecna rutina nege koze

I love skincare. And skincare products. More than makeup ones. When you have hydrated and nourished skin, you don't need (nor want) so much makeup. When you don't have not even the most expensive makeup won't save the situation (ok it might but just for a few hours, lol).
Last year, while I was pregnant, my approach to skincare inevitably changed. I was always conscious about the skincare products I use and their ingredients, but now I willingly wanted to pay even more attention. Skin (being the largest organ) absorbs everything, toxins can easily reach the blood system, and of course you don't want anything harmful for your baby. So solution was: more natural ingredients. I don't say it is/was 100% natural, but I'm moving in a good direction, and my skin loves it... So without further explanation, let's take a look at morning and evening skincare routines!

Volim negu koze. I proizvode za negu koze. Vise nego sminku. Kad imate hidriranu i negovanu kozu, nije vam potrebno (niti zelite) toliko sminke na licu. Kada nemate cak ni najskuplja sminka ne moze da spasi situaciju (ok moze, ali samo na par sati, haha).
Prosle godine, dok sam bila trudna, moj pristup negi koze se neizbezno promenio. Uvek sam obracala paznju na proizvode koje koristim i njihove sastojke, ali sad sam svojevoljno postala jos svesnija. Koza (kao najveci organ) sve upija, toksini lako dospevaju u krvotok, i naravno da nijedna trudnica ne zeli da naskodi bebi. Tako da je resenje: sto vise prirodnih sastojaka. Ne kazem da je sve bilo/jeste 100% prirodno, ali se pomeram u dobrom pravcu, i moja koza to voli… Bez daljnjeg objasnjenja, hajde da bacimo pogled na moju jutarnju i vecernju negu koze!

MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE

In the morning I never need harsh cleansing, my skin is pretty much clean from the previous night. So depending from how much is or isn't hydrated I choose between the next two products. If it's fairly hydrated I apply Sephora "micellar cleansing milk" with coconut water, which I already used twice in the past. If it needs something let's say more nourishing in the morning then it's L'Oreal Skin Expert "Fine flowers cleansing cream" with rose and jasmine for dry and sensitive skin (no need to wash this off, just remove it with the cotton pad). Then I rotate Clinique "Turnaround revitalizing treatment oil" and Apivita "Bee radiant age defense illuminating cream", meaning some days I apply first oil then cream, other days first cream then oil. Two reasons why I'm doing this: 1. to make sure I get the best out of these products and their ingredients, 2. not to get bored. There's a lighter version of this Apivita cream but my skin loves "rich texture" one. You can use it as a night cream as well, but I prefer having another one for that purpose. From all skincare products mentioned today, this cream is my favorite, the smell of orange stem cells awakes all your senses! And of course let's not forget slightly blue eye area, proud symbol of every new mom. Apivita "Age defense illuminating eye cream" is doing its best to help, but we all know- only sleep can save this area. So right now, there's no help on the horizon for me, gonna rock these blues for some time, lol...

JUTARNJA NEGA KOZE

Ujutru mi nikad nije potrebno preterano ciscenje, moja koza je prilicno cista od prethodne noci. U zavisnosti od nivoa hidratacije koze, biram neki od sledeca dva proizvoda. Ako jeste hidrirana nanosim Sephora "Micellar cleansing milk" (micelarno mleko za ciscenje) sa kokosovom vodom, koje sam vec dva puta koristila u proslosti. Ako je kozi potrebno nesto hranljivije, onda je tu L'Oreal Skin Expert "Fine flowers cleansing cream" (krema za ciscenje ) sa ruzom i jasminom za suvu i osetljivu kozu (nije potrebno ispiranje, jednostavno ukloniti tuferom). Onda rotiram Clinique "Turnaround revitalizing oil" (revitalizujuce ulje) i Apivita "Bee radiant age defense illuminating cream" (kremu za blistavost protiv starenja), sto znaci da nekih dana prvo nanesem ulje pa kremu a nekih prvo kremu pa ulje. Radim ovo iz dva razloga: 1. kako bih izvukla maksimum iz proizvoda i sastojaka, 2. da mi ne dosadi. Postoji "light" verzija ove Apivita kreme ali moja koza voli "rich texture" varijantu. Moze se koristiti i kao nocna krema, ali ja preferiram da imam drugu kremu za ovu svrhu. Inace od svih danas nabrojanih proizvoda za negu koze, ova krema je moj favorit, miris pomorandze budi sva cula! I naravno da ne zaboravimo pomalo plavo podrucje ispod ociju, ponosan simbol svake nove mame. Apivita "Age defense illuminating eye cream" (krema za oci) radi sve sto je u njenoj  moci da pomogne, ali svi znamo- jedini lek je san. Tako da trenutno nema pomoci na horizontu, jos neko vreme cu da promovisem plavetnilo, haha...

In the morning I usually have time to apply all products slowly, to wait for my skin to absorb them properly, since my baby actually sleeps and I wake up before 5am (sometimes 3-4am, just don't ask why). But the situation is a bit different in the evening. "Fast" is the name of the game. It includes: taking shower fast, applying body lotion fast (or not if there isn't time) and applying face skincare products fast. On a brighter side, I still get to actually take a shower....

Ujutru obicno imam vremena da natenane nanesem sve proizvode, sacekam da ih koza upije kako treba, jer moja beba zapravo spava ujutru a ja se budim pre 5h (nekad je to 3-4h ujutru, ne pitajte zasto). Ali situacija je pomalo drugacija uvece. "Na brzinu" je ime igrice. Na brzinu se istusiraj, na brzinu nanesi losion za telo (ili nemoj ako ne stizes), na brzinu nanesi kremu/serum za lice. Ako nista drugo makar uhvatim priliku da se istusiram svaki dan...

EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE

But let's get back to the subject! Evening skincare routine means different products! It also means double-cleansing, I absolutely love having a clean canvas! First I apply Merumaya "Melting cleansing balm", then wash it off while taking a shower with Diadermine "Washing me softly micellar washgel" with aloe-vera extract and D-Panthenol. If I don't have a makeup on (yes there are days when I'm staying home and actually letting my skin breath!) I just wash my face with Korres "Olympos tea cleansing foaming cream". After taking he shower I use La Roche-Posay "Effaclar micellar water" to make sure there aren't any makeup residues. Then I rotate the next two products, just like in a morning skincare routine. Some nights I first apply Korres "Wild rose vitamin C brightening oil", then Korres "Wild rose brightening & first wrinkles advanced repair sleeping facial night cream", and some days it's vice versa- meaning night cream then brightening oil...

VECERNJA NEGA KOZE

Nego da se mi vratimo na nasu temu! Vecernja rutina nege koze obuhvata druge proizvode. Takodje znaci i duplo tj. temeljno ciscenje lica, jer volim da imam cisto "platno". Prvo nanesem Merumaya "Melting cleansing balm" (balzam za ciscenje koji se topi), te ga sperem dok se tusiram sa Diadermine "Washing me softly micellar washgel" micelarnim gelom za umivanje lica koji sadrzi aloja veru i D-pantenol. Ako nemam sminku na licu (npr. danima kada sam kuci pa pustim kozu da dise), onda samo operem lice sa Korres "Olympos tea cleansing foaming cream" penastom kremom za ciscenje. Nakon sto se istusiram koristim La Roche-Posay "Effaclar micellar water" micelarni losion da bih uklonila i poslednje ostatke sminke ili necistoca. Sledeca dva proizvoda koristim u rotaciji, isto kao sto radim i ujutru.  Nekih veceri prvo nanesem Korres "Wild rose vitamin C brightening oil" (ulje za lice sa vitaminom C i divljom ruzom), pa onda Korres "Wild rose brightening & first wrinkles advanced repair sleeping facial night cream" (nocna krema protiv starenja sa divljom ruzom), a nekih veceri obrnuto - prvo krema za lice pa ulje...

Even with all these cute and fancy products, I still get bored, lol! So once per week I use Origins "Bare-faced glow" glow-boosting trio. This total pink set consists from 3 products: "Cleansing makeup removing jelly" with willowherb, "Retexturizing mask" with rose clay and "Matte moisturizer" with willowherb.

Cak i pored ovih medenih i fensi proizvoda, opet mi rutina nekad dosadi, haha. Tako da jednom nedeljno koristim Origins "Bare-faced glow" trio za blistavost. Ovaj pink set sadrzi 3 proizvoda: "Cleansing makeup removing jelly" uljani gel za uklanjanje sminke sa vrbovicom, "Retexturizing mask" masku sa pink glinom i "Matte moisturizer" kremu za lice sa vrbovicom.
