my secret to good skin

my skin's looking really pretty and radiant now with just a few imperfections despite me being super ass damn stressed for mbbs:/ having insomnia and have been sleeping past 3am nearly the whole of last week (okay i wake up at 11 so maybe it doesn't count cos i still get about 8 hours of sleep) but anw here's my secret to getting nice skin!

preferably everyday:
1) drink a glass of honey (i like new zealand clover honey) with freshly squeezed lemon
2) drink Redoxon Vitamin C with zinc

if you can, try to brew chrysanthemum tea with ren shen xu in it (all can be bought from chinese medicine shops in shopping malls)
brew a big pot and then drink it over several days.
if you can and don't mind, it's best drunk without adding sugar. i hate anything tasteless/bitter so my mum adds rock sugar.

vitamin supplements are really important-i take grapeseed antioxidant, evening primrose oil, women's multivitamin, omega3-DHA fish oil capsules and sometimes marine collagen pills. Grapeseed antioxidant is the most important-it helps to prevent premature ageing. I tried chewing real seeds from grapes, but they're honestly too bitter:/

try to put a liquid mask everyday(more convenient)
use a facial sheet mask every 2-3 days.

always double cleanse your face whether you wear makeup or not. i triple cleanse- i use Fancl's mild cleansing oil, massage thoroughly and rinse off, then Ginvera's Marvel gel (they say 30 rubs but if you can, spend a whole minute rubbing your face gently), finally i use a mild cleanser (currently using Lush's Herbalism-claims to calm sensitive skin and help troubled spots/grease)

Have a complete skincare regime and never be lazy.
cleanse-tone-ampoule/serum-moisturizer/emulsion-eye cream
i like estee lauder's advanced night repair (the concentrate gives faster results) and estee lauder's idealist even skintone illuminator.
using toner and emulsion from Skinfood's Gold Kiwi range now and genifique's youth pearl eye thing.

okay that's all. try it and see if it works!
