Hello
my Sirens!
It
has been a long time since I've updated my blog but I have something so great
to share with you all and I couldn't resist.
This
post is about my daily skin routine and how I keep my skin clear.
Before
I enlighten you here is a little background about my skin. I have oily
combination skin meaning my skin gets oily in my T-zone area, which includes
the forehead, nose and chin. My cheeks don't usually get oily but they aren't
dry either. I also struggle with acne here and there and have to constantly be
on top of keeping my skin clean or it will break out.
For
years I've struggled with buying products that do everything but clear up my
skin. I can honestly say that I've tried all brands and lines with minimal
success. Finally I began educating myself and learned that the ingredients that
help cure and heal acne blemishes are the following: Salicylic acid, Benzoyl
Peroxide, and Sulfur. (Search for these ingredients while shopping for
cleansers and moisturizers)
Here
is my skin routine:
First
I wash my face with Bioré’s Pore Unclogging Face Wash it has Salicylic Acid. I squeeze a half dime
sized amount onto the tip of my fingers and massage it in gentle circular
motions onto damp skin. I do this for about 15-30 seconds and then rinse with
warm water and pat my skin dry with a clean facial towel.
I
do this process in the morning when I wake up and at nighttime right before
bed. If I do happen to have a blemish I do apply, Neutrogena’s Benzoyl Peroxide
Spot Acne Treatment directly on the blemish. I pack it on during night
time and during the day I make sure the product disappears on the blemish so no
traces of product is visible.
Once
a week I do apply a sulfur based mask to soften the skin and medicate it. I leave
it on for no more than 15 minutes and then rinse with warm water.
These
products have changed my skin completely and I hope it will help improve yours
as well.
Until next time my Loves! Xoxo
