Happy friday everyone!I hope everyones week went well.I got stuck with the most stubborn cold ever and I'm currently drowning in sickness but alas here i am with a blog post for you ;)
Today i thought i'd do a post on my daily skin care routine.As a disclaimer,i just want to remind everyone that we all have different skin that requires different types of treatment.A product may work for me but it might not work for you it really comes down to trial and error.
I personally classify my skin type as normal/dry.I used to really just be more on the dry side but as of lately,it has been getting better.It may be because of the season change or maybe my skin care regimen is finally right.I do have whats considered "hormonal acne" which consists of a few blemishes here and there but mainly on my chin and jaw line.It usually will flare up if I'm stressed or if my skin just decides its mad at me for a week.I can get a breakout on other areas of my face but thats usually my main spot of concern.The only other skin issue i suffer from is scarring.I have a ton of acne scars on my chin that really annoy the shit out of me,if anyone has product suggestions for something like that i'd love to hear it!
Step one:Make up remover

BOSCIA
Makeup-Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil
LADIES,PLEASE REMOVE YOUR MAKEUP AT NIGHT.I will seriously cry if you don't.Seriously.
I think skin care is something that is very deserving of time and I've been taught to take care of my skin from a very young age thanks to my mother.Im not a fan of using a makeup wipe at the end of the night to remove my makeup because i don't believe that it actually does anything except smear the remains of your day all over your face.This makeup remover is absolutely amazing at removing every last drop of makeup and coming from a cake face,thats truly a blessing.Its a cleansing oil so basically you put a few pumps in your hands and apply it on your dry face then wash it away with water and a wash cloth.A lot of women think that if they have oily skin or acne prone skin that they can't touch their skin with cleansing oils or that they are specifically just for people with dry skin.That is not the case.Strong acne products strip away all the natural (good) oils from your skin which 99% of the time makes your skin produce MORE oil and causes more breakouts.Using any type of cleansing oil or beauty oil sort of tricks the skin into thinking it can slow down oil production.
MURAD
Clarifying Cleanser
As i mentioned above,i have a pretty strong dislike for most acne care products.I've tried a lot of them in the past (including prescription at one point)and they either 1.did nothing to help or 2.burnt my skin to a crisp which also does not help.This cleanser however is amaze balls.Im not sure what it is that makes it great but its something that really helps keep my small flare ups under control.Its not too strong where it leaves my skin feeling tight and burnt but its strong enough to work.Its really important to keep your skin moisturized ESPECIALLY if you suffer from acne.After i wash my makeup off at night,i follow up with this as my cleanser.Ive been using this probably for 6+ months and have nothing but positive things to say about it.
