What Your Getting-Unready Ritual Says About You

As creatures of habit, we all have our own l’il nightly ritual to relax and give ourselves some TLC. Everyone’s routine is different and subtly reveals our quirks, likes and inclinations.

Curious to know what your ritual says about you? Here’s a l’il skincare personality quiz:

Skincare Personality Quiz

#1: It’s the end of the day and time to wipe the day off your face, you reach for…

A: An oil-based makeup remover, then a cleansing balm or creamy cleanser to feel like a mini spa.
B: A micellar water - it’s refreshing and efficient! After that, you double cleanse with a rich, foam cleanser that makes your skin feel clean and shine-free but not dehydrated.
C: A lightweight and watery oil-based makeup remover, followed by an exfoliating face wash to get rid of all the gunk without irritating your skin.

#2: When dispensing the cleanser, how much do you use?

A: Quality over quantity, period! A little goes a long way for cleansers.
B: I like to use a generous amount to really get into the T-zone.
C: There’s no such thing as too much when it comes to cleansing! I use as much as I need, and maybe more.

#3: Looking at your bare skin, what’s stressing you most about it?

A: Tightness, rough patches and itchiness.
B: Breakouts and dry patches at the same time.
C: Acne and excess oil.

#4: You get out of the shower, and it’s time for the rest of your skincare routine. What does it look like?

A: I have a multi-step ritual with layers of moisturising toner, serum, moisturiser and eye cream.
B: It depends! I like to use a lightweight moisturiser and occasionally use a serum, retinol product or toner if I’m in the mood for it.
C: I like a gel moisturiser and a BHA product to keep the zits in check.

#5: Settling down for ‘me’ time, you decide to treat yourself to a sheet mask while scrolling through TikTok or watching Netflix. When deciding which to choose, what words tickle your brain in a good way?

A: “Glow”, “Quench”, “Soothe”
B: “Balance”, “Refresh”, “Nourish”

Personality Test Results

Mostly As: 

You like romanticising simple, everyday moments, including your skincare ritual! It’s not all about what products do, but also how they make you feel. Sensorial textures, fun packaging and delicious scents make up the whole skincare experience. You like the concept of an elaborate skincare routine to layer multiple different products. But it can be too time-consuming and sometimes, you wonder if you could enjoy the same skincare benefits with a simpler routine and have more time to yourself.

Skincare tip: If your skin isn’t reacting too well to your current routine, consider simplifying it! Just one good serum can replace a few steps of an overly complicated skincare routine. A good contender to try is the Mosaik FaceRX L01 Serum which deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin, evening out skin tone while fortifying your skin's natural defence against free radicals.

Polianthes Tuberosa Polysaccharide helps condition and nourish the skin, while Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract supports the skin’s protection against free radicals. Finally, Glucosyl Hesperidin enhances skin tone and helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines.

Mostly Bs: 

You’re a low maintenance girlie when it comes to skincare. Who has time for a 10-step routine? Not you! Skincare is meant to be fun, not stressful, and you’re willing to try new products to find your new holy-grail.

Skincare tip: Just add one more simple step to your skincare routine: a serum! It takes up barely any time and yet will make a world of a difference as it delivers a high concentration of active ingredients to your skin. Meet your new skincare bestie - the Mosaik FaceRX M02 Serum. It’ll give you a balanced, hydrated and brighter complexion.

Infused with unique active ingredients, it boosts microcirculation to help reduce dark circles and boost overall radiance. Alteromonas Ferment Extract stimulates cell repair and calms irritation, while Phytol helps increase collagen production, balances the skin’s natural oil composition, and strengthens the skin barrier. It also contains Glucosyl Hesperidin for a more even and bright complexion with less noticeable dark circles.

Mostly Cs:

You’re a pragmatist when it comes to your skin. You do your research and actively study brands and look through the ingredient list before trying a product. Words like “dermatologist-tested” and “free of skincare nasties” are more important to you than cute packaging or TikTok beauty trends.

Skincare tip: While effective ingredients are your priority, and rightfully so, you also don’t want harsh, irritating ingredients that can sensitise your skin. Make sure to choose skincare products that are ultra-gentle without compromising on delivering visible results. It sounds too good to be true, but they exist. Case in point: the Mosaik FaceRX D03 Serum.

Formulated for oily and acne-prone skin, this nourishing serum does it all from hydrating, balancing, and brightening to shine-control and pore-refining. Like all Mosaik products, this serum is clinically formulated by dermatologists using high-performing vegan, bioactive and phytoactive ingredients. Mosaik’s skincare is oh-so kind to the skin, including sensitive skin, and is even safe for pregnant women.

But back to the serum! It contains Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract which helps to balance skin pH, minimise pores, and reduce shine. Oleanolic Acid promotes restoration and rejuvenation of acne-prone skin, while Glucosyl Hesperidin helps to improve microcirculation and hydration, improving the appearance of dark circles.

For a limited time, these serums will come in a special gift set with a 100% organic cotton face towel - perfect for adding a luxurious touch to your skincare ritual.
