My skin care is really starting to work I've basically cut out a lot of products and just use a cleanser every other day along with natural products and it seems to be working :)
I am actually really lazy so I wouldn't do a skincare routine but I do because I used to struggle with severe acne and keeping up with a routine has gotten rid of it for good.
In the evening, I use: 1.) Garnier Fructis' Waterproof Miscellar Water- to remove my sunscreen. 2.) InnisFree Green Tea Cleanser- to cleanse my face. **Around 2-3 times a week, I will use S. t. I've's blackhead scrub to exfoliate areas of my face that are prone to blackheads/clogged pores.** *I pat my face dry with a clean towel.* 4.) Neutrogena Alcohol free toner- I apply this generously with my hands. 5.) The Ordinary's Niacinamide & Zinc serum- I apply this over my toner while my skin is still damp. 6.) Cerave's Daily Moisturizing Lotion- I apply this immediately, on top of my face after applying toner and serum. 7.) AHC Eye cream- I apply a thin coat of this underneath my eye as well as on my eyelid. 8.) Neutrogena's 10% Benzyol Peroxide- I spot treat areas of my face that need this. 9.) Hero Cosmetic's Green Color Correct Cream- I spot treat areas of my face that need this.
In the morning: - I use the same things except for I use a different cleanser (Aveeno's gentle, soap-free cleanser) and I add SPF on top of everything: (Biore's Aqua Rich Water Essence Sunscreen).
Micellar cleansing water or oil based products (night) only if im wearing makeup even always the simple one Facial wash (morning and night) everyday Clay mask (night) sometimes a times a week sometimes never lol Sheet mask (night) very rare but sometimes i do Exfoliating toner (morning) usually 2 times a week Hydration toner (morning and night) everyday Essence (morning) after applying the exfoliating toner 2 times a week Serum (could be in the morning or night depends my mood), 3 times a week, but recently not really put it on very often Moisturizer (morning and night) everyday Sunscreen (morning) everyday and reapply
Drink a lot of water everyday Eating vegetables and fruit
I use Lacura (Aldi's brand) Q10 day cream in the morning and the night cream at night.
An eye cream usually follows.
Before applying them, I use a quartz roller on my face after it's been cleansed.
In terms of a face wash, I use Clean and Clear Daily Exfoliating scrub.
Every four days, I do microdermabrasion (at night) and when I do that, I use some homemade face mask my mum makes and uses herself, although I've no idea what's in there, apart from like 1-2 ingredients.
Microdermabrasion does help fade acne scars, but I do have some marks that don't look to be fade, above my beard line, as I'm constantly removing hairs above it, as I'm very prone to having ingrowns on my face and I have a habit of not leaving them alone.
Aldi used to sell a Q10 serum, which I used, but they discontinued it and I also used to use sunscreen with SPF 30, but the latter kept breaking me out, so I stopped, as my day cream already has SPF in there, although I have heard it's not the same.
At some point, I used a skin whitening cream as an eye cream too, which also caused breakouts.
Not me having severe eczema and are jealous over other people's skin.
I used to apply moisturizers after the shower on my face, neck and other places where it is dry, cause showering usually dries out of skin, and yes it usually works for me but only for a short amount of time. I use moisturizers like eucerin from the pharmacy.
Now when my eczema is a lot worse, i use only prescribed ointments.
The funny thing is that when my skin is healthy it looks amazing, but God had to give me eczema
I think it’s mostly what you eat, your environnement and stress !
eat a lot of greens 🥬! eat less meat, dairy and sugar and bad carbs. And your skin will be flawless !
The environnement can also affect your skin health. If you leave in a very polluted area, or very sunny, or the UV are very high , it will affect it.
finally stress !! Stress can dramatically change your skin. You get more lines, more pimples , more scars , etc. So to fight it , exercise and do some Pilate or yoga.
Because you can use all the creams in the world but you eat crap, stress so much, and you’re constantly in the sun , well … guess what your skin will end up very bad.
Lemon juice is great for removing wrinkles. Take it orally, do not mix it into a paste to put on your body. It is bad for your teeth though so you should not use it if you have sensitive teeth.
I basically just use soap water on my face and never had much of a problem, except between the ages of 16 1/2 and 18. I know weird ages to remember but those ages are hard to forget
My routine is relaxation and it works really well. My wife is hyper, has a stressful job, and uses tons of shit on her face. My skin is better. Sorry babe
