The Procoal American Psycho Patrick Bateman Skincare Routine

Procoal American Psycho Patrick Bateman Skin Care Routine

I don’t know about you, but in my mind this still sounds like one of the most iconic scenes from any movie I’ve ever seen. However, after watching Patrick Bateman’s Obsession Everyday, I thought about my morning skincare routine and whether I should take some notes from the movie.

So we decided to break down Patrick Bateman’s skincare quotes and turn them into our own Procoal American Psycho skincare routine. Read them and try them for yourself.

“If my face is a little puffy in the morning, I put an ice pack on myself while doing sit-ups. Now I can do 1,000.”

If you suffer from “puffiness” in the morning, this could be a secret trick. Alternatively, you can simply place ice cubes on your face to stimulate circulation for more radiant skin.

Regularly applying ice cubes to your face in the morning (perhaps mixed with cucumber juice) can also help reduce those annoying dark circles.

If you decide to buy a face ice pack, the Boots Instant Pack or Accurate Manufacturing Face Ice Pack are good choices.

“After I take the ice pack out, I use a deep cleansing lotion.”

This is a little odd, because Bateman applied the lotion before showering, and would surely wash it off immediately. This is the same rule for any toner or lotion, so we’re not sure if he’s right, but if you want to follow it exactly (and not apply it after showering), you might want to consider giving Avene’s Extremely Gentle Cleanser a try.

“I use the Hydro-Active Gel Cleanser in the shower, then use the Honey Almond Body Scrub, and finally use the Exfoliating Gel Scrub on my face.”

Type “hydro-activated gel cleanser” into Google, and you’ll find that the results are mostly quotes from the movie or guides that break down his skincare routine (similar to this post). These concentrated hydrogels help improve skin hydration and make it smoother. Some of the options available are Neutrogena Hydro Boost, or a popular choice for men is the Clinique formula.

Afterwards, he uses the Honey Almond Body Scrub, which has a lot of benefits. Honey is antibacterial and rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals. It can also help open up and unclog pores. Almonds are also known for their high antioxidant content. One of the most popular choices is the Body Shop Exfoliator.

The Body Shop can also help you take the next step and offer the English Rose Exfoliating Gel Body Scrub, which also helps open up pores and remove excess oil from the underlying layers.

“Then I apply the Herbal Mint Mask and leave it on for 10 minutes while I prepare for the rest of my routine.”

Ten minutes is enough for most masks to work. Make sure to follow the instructions, but remember that longer exposure times will not produce better results as it can dry out the skin. At this point, I would immediately recommend our Activated Charcoal Mask as it is great for removing impurities and excess oil from the skin, leaving your skin more radiant.

After a shower, the skin should be clean and the pores open so that the mask can work efficiently.

“I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol in it, because alcohol dries out your face and makes you look older.”

While aftershaves used to contain mostly alcohol, this trend is fading because “alcohol dries out your face.” Thanks for the contribution, Bateman!

Alcohol actually dries out your skin, and it can also irritate it. Originally, alcohol was used to emphasize its ability to kill bacteria on the skin. However, these days, you can certainly skip these high-alcohol formulas. You can try a white lotus or sandalwood lotion.

“Then a moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye cream, and finally a moisturizing protective lotion.”

Towards the end of your skincare routine, it’s time to moisturize your skin. You don’t necessarily have to use two lotions, you can add a layer of protection by making sure your moisturizer contains a high SPF to shield your skin from the sun’s harmful rays (of course you can use an SPF separate from your main moisturizer if you want to stick to a strict routine).

Choosing the right moisturizer should be the easiest part of your skincare routine, but with so many different options to suit all skin types, it can be daunting not knowing where to start. If you suffer from oily skin, a lightweight lotion may be for you. However, if you have dry skin, a thicker option would be better. If you use lotion in the morning, a thick formula may not be for you as it will leave your skin feeling greasy when you go out.

Choose one with at least SPF 30 (as mentioned above) and one with a high amount of antioxidants in the ingredients, such as green tea or licorice root extract. Also look out for whether it contains AHA or BHA to protect against skin aging.

The ultimate value of eye cream is hotly debated in the skincare industry. However, many believe it has another anti-aging benefit than a simple moisturizer. Over time, the thin layer of skin under the eyes gets thinner as our natural collagen production decreases. This is why our eyes often give away our age. Balms tend to work better than creams because they contain less water.

If you have a budget, you can try Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ or L’Occitane Immortelle Divine, but there are cheaper options too.

Time Consumption

We tried all of them, but it wasn’t the fastest routine. The whole process took a little over an hour, but I’m sure it would speed up over time if repeated regularly. Granted, I didn’t quite complete 1,000 sit-ups, but that doesn’t fall under “skin care,” so I decided to ignore that step for now.

DQH Can I use salicylic acid first and then vitamin C? It’s easy to create a skincare routine, but knowing how to use it is another thing entirely. In most cases, if you’re not getting the desired skin results, it could be due to the layering of conflicting ingredients. So, is it possible that salicylic acid and vitamin C are such ingredients? Or are these active ingredients the duo that’s been missing from your skincare routine? If you want answers, stick around because today we are going to explain the benefits of salicylic acid and vitamin C and how they can be used in your daily life. What are the benefits of salicylic acid for skin? Salicylic acid is one of the most commonly used beta hydroxy acids and is favored by many people with oily, acne-prone skin. This acid is derived from willow bark, and unlike its water-soluble relatives (called alpha-hydroxy acids), salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which means it can penetrate deeper into the lower layers of the skin. Once it reaches the lower layers, it can help unclog pores of excess sebum, dirt, bacteria, debris, and impurities. This results in clearer skin tones and greater definition. Not only does salicylic acid benefit the underlying layers, but the outer surface of the skin benefits as well. When applied to the skin, salicylic acid removes the buildup of dead skin cells. This is accomplished by breaking the bonds that hold dead cells to the surface. Over time, this can cause the complexion to look dull and prone to acne, blackheads, and other blemishes. If you’d like to learn more about salicylic acid and how it can improve your skin, check out this dedicated blog post from a beauty insider. What are the benefits of vitamin C for skin? Vitamin C is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants, which means it is very effective at fighting free radicals and preventing them from causing further skin damage. Examples of free radicals include pollution, central heating, UV rays and harsh climate. They attack proteins, fats and cell membranes as soon as they come into contact with the skin, causing signs of premature aging such as fine lines and wrinkles as well as hyperpigmentation, flaky patches of skin and loss of elasticity. Many people usually prefer to use vitamin C in their morning routine as this ingredient gives the complexion a radiant glow. You’ll also find that vitamin C can target areas of hyperpigmentation, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The thing about vitamin C is that there are a lot of outdated studies going back to the 1950s that describe vitamin C as an unstable skin component. Thanks to improvements in modern technology, this is no longer the case as all products now contain a stable form of vitamin C. Visit The Beauty Insider to learn more about vitamin C. So please check out our blog post. Can I use salicylic acid first and then vitamin C? Yes, you absolutely can. In fact, it’s thought that using salicylic acid before using vitamin C ensures it penetrates faster and works faster. This is an efficient way to utilize two power sources, and the reason has to do with pH. For example, the skin’s natural pH is about 4.7, making it slightly acidic. Salicylic acid and vitamin C are also both acidic, and you’ll find that vitamin C is absorbed quickly into the skin. Therefore, using salicylic acid beforehand can increase the acidity of the skin and allow vitamin C to penetrate into the skin faster. While this is considered an effective way to combine two powerful ingredients, you need to be aware of your skin type and how it reacts to certain active ingredients. Even people with perfect, normal skin can experience skin sensitivity and irritation. Therefore, always consult a doctor or dermatologist before using any new products on your skin. It’s also important to follow skin application rules. In this case, you need to use the product correctly to ensure you get the best results for your skin. If you’re not sure what I mean, the basic rule for skin is to start with the thinnest consistency and work your way up to the thickest consistency. This prevents a barrier from forming on the surface, preventing other active ingredients from penetrating the skin. Can I use salicylic acid at night and vitamin C in the morning? Yes, absolutely, this is considered the most effective way to get returns without any adverse side effects. This is because there is enough time between applications to ensure that the skin’s pH levels return to balance. You’ll also find that Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants and is perfect for use in the morning to ensure your skin is protected and looking its healthiest. Due to the small size of salicylic acid molecules, it is an acid that is able to reach the deepest parts of the skin. While this is effective at keeping skin clear, it also increases the risk of irritation and photosensitivity. Therefore, many people prefer to use powerful BHAs in their evening routine without exposure to UV rays, pollution, or harsh weather. Warning: If you avoid using sunscreen every day, none of these ingredients will do what your skin needs. The combination of chemical peels and powerful ingredients increases the risk of further damage to the skin’s surface. Use SPF 50 every day to keep your skin protected and your lipid barrier healthy, even on cloudy days, keeping your skin in top condition.
