Unleashing Noble Charm, Cultivating Graceful Elegance
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, we often overlook the importance of self-care, especially for women in their middle and senior years. However, precisely during this beautiful stage of life, we should love ourselves, bestow more care and attention, and exude a sense of noble elegance. Here, I’ll share with you the skincare routines and products I am currently using.
Facial Care: As we age, our eyes may gradually appear smaller, with eye bags and wrinkles emerging. Lips may thin out, and the skin on the neck might loosen, revealing more fine lines. To address these changes in the future, we need targeted skincare solutions to nourish our skin effectively.
Cleansing: I use whatever suits me without any specific recommendation for my facial cleanser. Choosing a cleaner that matches your skin type and personal preference is essential.
In the morning, thorough cleansing with the facial cleanser is sufficient. If you wear makeup during the day, start cleansing at night using a cotton swab dipped in Eye Makeup Remover to gently remove eye makeup. Next, massage your face with sweet almond oil to deeply clean the pores, especially the sides of the nose. Sweet almond oil not only provides deep cleansing but also nourishes the skin. Finally, use the facial cleanser again to wash your face and neck, ensuring a thorough and refreshing cleanse without any greasiness.

Skincare products include eye cream, daily cream, sunscreen, and night cream.
Eye Cream: I use Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream and Meebak Cica Eye Cream. These two eye creams are very moisturizing. I will use them alternately at morning and night.
Shiseido Eye Cream is the perfect cream to use over and under the eyes to smooth the skin. It goes on smoothly, has no scent, and lasts all night.
Meebak Cica Eye Cream is a nice texture, not too thick or thin. It sinks in quickly, leaving the skin feeling supple but not heavy, greasy, or sweaty like other eye creams.
Daily Cream: Garnier SkinActive 24H Moisture Cream and Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Fresh Watery Cream. I feel most comfortable using these two products are deeply nourishing for the skin. I alternate between them, usually finishing one before switching to another.
Garnier Moisture Cream feels delightfully lightweight and smooth upon application, absorbing effortlessly without leaving any sticky residue.
Nature Republic Watery Cream, I choose the one is for combination skin. It boasts a watery gel consistency, appearing as a translucent white fluid. It swiftly absorbs into my skin, leaving it remarkably smooth and soft. It is non-sticky and exceptionally lightweight, imparting a gentle cooling sensation.
Sunscreen: EltaMD UV Daily Tinted Sunscreen SPF 40. I quite like this one as it doesn’t feel greasy when applied to the face and is very light and smooth. It effectively protects against UV rays and doesn’t clog pores.

Makeup: First is the foundation; I use Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 30; it has a lightweight texture, providing even coverage for skin imperfections without looking cakey, and lasts the whole day without any issues.
There are many options for eyeshadows and blushes, but I don’t use them often. Currently, I’m using Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyeshadow Palette and Urban Decay Stay Naked Threesome Palette. They have rich and long-lasting colors, allowing for the easy creation of various makeup looks.
For mascara, I finally settled on Shiseido Majolica Majorca Waterproof Mascara EX, which has a dual-comb brush that caters to both short and long lashes, like a sunflower after brushing it. After application, my lashes appear thicker, curled, and elongated. The mascara’s distinctive feature is its ability to create elongated and defined lashes, even on the finest ones.
Lipstick and Perfume: I use homemade lipstick and Perfume, and all the ingredients are natural, making me feel safe using them. Refer to my other article for detailed instructions on creating custom lipstick and Perfume, allowing you to exude a unique charm.

Makeup Tools：
1. Makeup brushes: I use Morphe brushes; they have soft bristles and make makeup application a breeze. They offer an 8-PIECE FACE & EYE BRUSH SET, but you can also purchase individual meetings. I bought them separately.
2. Eyelash curler: This eyelash curler is genuinely fantastic. It has three temperature settings, but I only use the first one as it’s not too hot to avoid damaging my lashes. When using it, I apply gentle pressure, and a light squeeze is enough to achieve naturally curled lashes.

In addition to eye cream, I also use night cream. There are many brands to choose from, but I prefer a combination of Aloderma Organic Aloe Vera Gel and vitamin E as my night cream. This mixture contains abundant aloe vera, quickly penetrating the skin, soothing and calming it. The addition of vitamin E helps with skin repair and enhances skin elasticity. Remember to apply the night cream on your face and neck, don’t neglect neck care.
Sometimes, I also use Thayers Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Facial Mist Toner with Aloe Vera and Rose Petal. When my skin feels dry, I spray some rose water. I don’t use it daily but I love its light rose fragrance. It provides hydration and enhances the overall skincare effect, leaving the skin moisturized and smooth.
Facial masks: I don’t have any specific recommendations; I prefer moisturizing and hydrating sheet masks. I find using a moisturizing paper sheet mask very comforting, so I don’t use a gel mask. Cream-based sheet masks are also perfect. I store my cream mask in the refrigerator so they feel relaxed and refreshed when applied, which is very soothing. Try to use masks 2-3 times weekly to keep your skin hydrated and comfortable.
Neck Care: For my neck, I usually apply a mixture of aloe vera gel and vitamin E mix, Vaseline, or other night cream. Then, I used the Neck Wrap to cover my neck for 30 minutes. I do this 2-3 times a week; the results are fantastic.
As for face masks, any brand works well if you choose one that suits your skin type. I recommend using face masks 2-3 times a week, and you will feel your skin becoming very comfortable and nourished.
Dental Care: Maintaining clean and white teeth is the foundation of a person’s image and charisma. In addition to using high-quality toothpaste, you can clean your teeth by mixing baking soda and salt with toothpaste 1-2 times a week to keep your teeth white and radiant. It’s best to use dental floss before brushing and mouthwash after brushing to ensure oral hygiene and have a germicidal effect.
Hands and Feet Care:
Hands are also a part that reveals age. Many people often overlook the care of their hands. There are numerous choices for hand creams. Keep some on hand at all times to ensure that the skin of your hands stays soft and moisturized. Do hand and foot care 2-3 times a week by soaking them in warm water; add a few drops of essential oil or use water only. Then dry your hands and feet, apply olive oil or sweet almond oil, put on spa gloves and socks, and take them off after about 30 minutes. You’ll feel your hands and feet even softer and more comfortable.

Nail Care: Use cuticle oil to soften the cuticles around your nails, keeping the skin around your nails soft and moisturized. Give it a try. There are also products that combine hand cream and cuticle oil. As for nail polish, I use ZOYA, but other brands also offer water-based, non-toxic nail polish such as BONTIME Non-Toxic Nail Polish.
Hair Care: Rice Water Shampoo & Conditioner Bar Set. They are very effective, lather easily, and provide great moisture to the hair. A hair conditioner is a must, as it makes the hair feel smooth. Another option is the Tea Tree & Matcha Shampoo and Conditioner Set, used once a week. They are designed for deep scalp cleansing, mite prevention, oil control, dandruff management, and also reducing hair loss.
Natural Curls: There is a type of Satin Heatless Hair Curler that avoids damaging the hair and creates natural curls. The effect is even better when used after washing your hair. You can achieve voluminous waves after the hair is dry. When you don’t want curls, you can skip them, allowing you to change your hairstyle conveniently.
Body wash: I usually opt for organic and natural body wash because they are free from harmful chemicals and gentler on the skin, causing no irritations. Moreover, these shower gels often come in various delightful scents, making showering a pleasurable experience.
JASON Natural Body Wash & Shower Gel are two organic and natural shower gels that I’ve been using recently. They are formulated with natural plant extracts, free from sulfates and artificial fragrances, providing a gentle and cleansing experience that refreshes and moisturizes the skin.
They offers various fragrances, such as mint, tea tree, aloe, and more, each providing a different delightful experience. I particularly enjoy the rose scent it offers.
Avalon Organics Bath & Shower Gel is based on plant essential oils. It offers various fragrances, including lavender, orange blossom, grapefruit, and more, each exuding a captivating aroma. I enjoy selecting different scents based on my mood, making shower time delightful and relaxing.
In conclusion, opting for organic and natural shower gels provides gentle care for the skin and turns bathing into a pleasurable experience. Every shower becomes soothing and delightful, leaving me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated!
