Nev / Canada 
What are your beauty secrets?
Hi, my name is Nev and I come from Canada. My question for today is, what are your beauty secrets?
Okay. So as you can see, I'm not wearing any makeup right now. And that's what I try to do every day, to go makeup-free and allow myself and my skin to breathe. So when it comes to my skincare routine, I wash my face twice a day, normally early in the morning when I wake up, and before going to bed. I don't have a special product that I like or recommend. It's normally just a random cleanser from a drug store.
Apart from washing my face, I apply a moisturizer or a serum daily, and that's pretty much it. Every now and then I put on a facial mask. And like I said, I try to keep it simple. I try not to put on too many products that would eventually hurt my skin.
What about you? What does your daily routine look like?
