Beauty Tips For Body Care
IntroductionWhy hello there! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my little project here. I am sure you are wondering just what in the heck this is all about and who the eff I even am. So let me tell you!.Well this post is really to establish a starting point in my little project. A before, before the after if you will. As well it is here to give some background as to who I am, what I am doing with this whole project and where I want it to go.Who am I? I am a 29 year old Male Mechanic from the great white north of Canada. I am a tinkering sort of fellow with some new found time on my hands, so I thought what better way then to take care of myself.. starting with my skin!A little bit of background on my skin and skin type. Typically I have always had extremely oily skin, and wide open pores (you will see how bad in a second). This means those bad boys get PACKED. Well now I am a mechanic and my skin goes through HELL on just about a daily basis. Grease, dirt, oil, chemicals. You name it, it's probably packed in there. On top of things, I work nights so my skin doesn't get much sunlight, I drink very little water and drink way to much coffee.All of this leads me to have terrible skin! Now it's about time I do something about that!The ProjectSo what the heck is the project anyway? Well The project is to document my progression through my skincare. Starting off with the basics. I will be testing out a wide range of products over a lengthy period of time and post the results, as well as my thoughts and opinions throughout the whole process. I will also take very revealing and intimate photo's for you all to see. On top of that I have found a way to go deeper... Microscopically deeper. I have purchased an inexpensive microscope that allows me to get uncomfortable close to my pores so I can see just exactly what each product is doing. How it effects my pore size. how cleansers work at pulling out the crud, as well as how other products or processes effect the skin.What We Are Working WithTo start off, the photo's... Warning... It is graphic.My Face Week 1 - This is without any regiment in place. I used very basic all purpose moisturizer. Due to my job, I pretty much exfoliate every day. This has probably caused a lot of damage to my skin as well.Now To Go... DEEPER- This will give you an idea on just how packed those bad boys are! Each photo is labeled on the bottom and are from the average part of that section.As you can see, there is A LOT of work to do here BUT, I don't want to rush things. I want to give people an in depth idea of just how effective each step of the process is. So, onto the regiment.The RegimentI am starting off with the basics. Very basic. A simple wash morning wash and daily moisturizer. I also went with a very light cleanser as I feel this would be what most try out to start, and an all around moisturizer. If you are wondering about the products then Here They Are.I went with Citaphil All skin type products. This is again because I feel like it is a very generic and safe starting point that a lot of people can start on. Citaphil is also found in my local drug store so it is more likely to be readily available to you as well. There is no SPF included in my regiment because, well... I don't really have to worry about that lol.The duration of each product used will probably very a bit. My goal is to give each product at least a month of use so I know definitively if it is doing anything or not. That said, if i don't like a product or if the majority of you want me to try a different product then I will be open to it.On top of this, I will be increasing my water intake. Right now I would estimate I consume maybe 2-3 glasses of water a day. I would like to increase this to at least 1L a day for now. I will also be increasing my bedding washes from once a week to bi-weekly. Other then that my diet, daily habits, etc will stay the same for now. If i make any changes I will include it in an update.The UpdatesMy plan for updates is to post here once a week. I will try and make it for every Monday. I do work on a rotation so this could potentially skew the update dates. My current rotation is 4on and 4off so I should still be able to post once a week sometime during the weekdays IF it has to be pushed back.Updates will include as much information I can provide for you. I will try and keep notes on how my skin feels. What effects I feel it having. My opinions and thoughts. As well as many more of those glamorous photos! lolWell I think that is about all the information I have for now. If you would like more updates, I have made an Instagram account that I will be posting to. (I am not trying to self promote but if mods still think it's against the rules then please DM and I will delete.)I will see you all on the next update! Stay hydrated!
