My Current Skincare Routine
Keeping my skin healthy, clear and hydrated is very important to me. When I was younger I used to not take care of my skin, that's the reason I suffer from acne scars, and hyper pigmentation today! The older you get, the more you realize how important it is to take care of your skin! This is going to be my current skin care routine, keep in mind this is pretty simple and mostly stays the same all year long!
Cleanse:
Normally when I wake up I like to wash my face to wake myself up and use the "Equate Gentle Skin Cleanser" either with my hands or if I want to exfoliate I use my "Olay ProX." This face wash is just the off brand of the Cetaphil one, however I like the Cetaphil one a lot better. This is my go to cleanser I use it twice daily, morning and nightly! It makes your skin feel so soft and doesn't dry out your skin, which I love! One other cleanser that I also is the Biore Charcoal Cleanser, I definitely recommend it!
Moisturize:
I moisturize my face at least once a day sometimes more! My go to moisturizer is the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream! It is very heavy duty moisturizer, it sinks into the skin and makes all of my dry flaky patches smooth and hydrated! I used to use a thinner one during the day specifically under my makeup, however my skin had been extremely dry lately due to my acne medications so I'm using this under my makeup!
Toners & Serums & Mask:
My current favorite toner ever is definitely the Dickinsons Witch Hazel Toner! I use it mostly in the morning, it help my acne stay calm as far as the inflammation and redness! This Toner is around $5 at Walmart and it's the best $5 Iv ever spent! I'm almost out and definitely going to buy more once it's gone! This is a great product if you have never tried it before! Great for all skin types, it doesn't irritate my skin or make it dry! I have 2 different serums Iv been using. I usually switch up between the Body Merry Age Defense Super Serum 6 & the Neocell Hydra+ H.A. Serum. The Body Merry Serum is a great serum because it helps reduce my scarring and redness tremendously! This is my second bottle and I will always continue to use this. It is about $17 however I believe it's very worth the price! The Neocell I have noticed has made my skin feel so hydrated when I use it! I love using it all over to help with fine lines and wrinkles, an even to brighten my face! My skin looks brighter when I use it, and feel less dry! I use a mask at least once a week maybe twice. I love to the use the Body Shop Tea Tree Mask! It smells great and it makes my skin feel refreshed every time I use it!
Acne Medication:
When I have that troublesome breakout, I always use my Epiduo cream! It will heal up the breakout in usually 3 days or less by applying it! I mostly apply it before bed! I go to a dermatologist, that's why I have this. It's a prescription cream. My skin is very sensitive and sometimes this will make your face burn, sometimes I use it every other day because it WILL dry your face out! Other than dry skin and burning sensation every now and then it's a great acne medication! Please keep in mind it does not make my face burn every time I use it, and because how my skin reacts to it yours may be different.
My skincare routine is pretty simple, I try to stick to it and use them. However I have noticed a few tips if you suffer from acne, When sleeping tie back your hair, the oils from your hair can cause breakouts if your lay on it during the night, as well as your pillowcases, I would recommend changing them frequently! I also love using Vaseline Petroleum Jelly on my lips Morning and nightly! It keeps my lips cracked free and looking and feeling moisturized! "I received this free from Influenster for testing purposes"
By using these products daily and in conjunction of drinking lots of water, I have noticed a huge difference in my skin! From being dry, I now can keep my dry skin moisturized and hydrated! I can keep my acne under control! Of course we all have good skin days and bad, but by having a routine and sticking to it, your more likely to see results instead of constant switching products! Find what works for you and stick to it! I hope you all enjoyed my skincare routine!
