I was never excited about Sunday. I mean, it’s really just another day and most people are on their day off. Strangely, after having been switching up my day off, I settle that Sunday has its own pros. For example, when you buy vegetables on a Sunday morning, it’s a lot fresher as typically where I am from, people stock up their goods on that day. Then throughout the week, it's going to be just the leftovers from Sunday and they don't really stock it up again until the next week. But that’s not all, there’s truly something relaxing about a weekly skin care routine on a Sunday evening. Maybe it’s a fad but that’s how I’ve been enjoying it lately.

Recently, I am switching my cleanser from Wardah Aloe Vera to Poise. I am not too experimental with my cleanser but I decided to give Poise a try. As someone who prefers any soothing and moisturizing cleanser, it was great that Poise has the variant with aloe as its ingredient. For me, the heat over where I can be unforgiving and having to cleanse my face with a hydrating and soothing cleanser always makes my day. After first try, I think Poise is a lot more hydrating than Wardah that often makes my skin extremely dry(not the good kind of dry).

I saw a post in this community earlier about Bioaqua and I didn’t know that brand has even reached LATAM. My favorite product from Bioaqua is their hydrating face mask. It’s really good to do it twice or once/week as it is pretty relaxing and soothing.

On top of those, I also added one more routine, lip mask. They’re life changing and now I don’t have a problem with dry lips anymore. I am using the lip mask from Emina. It's hydrating and I barely use any lip balm ever since I started doing this lip mask twice/week.

Also, since I am moving here, my skincare and makeup routine aren’t so minimalist anymore. I was surviving on just serum, sunscreen,and micellar water but now, just as you read below, there’s lip mask, cleanser, eye serum, face mask, serum and even body lotion- all these aren't something that I used to do back in the day.

Another thing added into my routine is definitely nails. I am doing my nails weekly by myself and trying to explore it more. I’ve neglected my self care in the past & recently, it’s really nice to have my nails done. I am also being a bit more experimental with the color as usually, they tend to be red. Now, I am branching out to colors like green, the one that’ll stay throughout this week for me.

I used to fancy good looking nails and nail art. They always look pretty and I used to get it done like a few years ago. Now, I really want to do it by myself and learn the how to's.

When you do an extra skin care routine on Sunday, it really sets up the mood throughout the week. Maybe, afterall, it's the kind of routine that we crave in our life, a sense of stability. Anyway that's for another day of reflection. See you around!
