💆Skincare Routine💆

Now i'm not gonna sit here and pretend i have perfect skin. But i can say i don't get alot of pimples, the amount of blackheads and whiteheads i have had decreased and overall my skin isnt looking too shabby. So here's my skin care routine plus the products i suggest

So when i wake up i go in with the clean and clear 3 step. First is the cleanser. It foams up (not extremely). It washes away dirt, oil, and makeup. Then we have the toner (resets the ph balance and helps treat pimples and is oil free. Then lastly using the moisturizer. I love this brand especially since they are partnered with johnson and johnson. I do this about every morning.

Next i have these 2 face mask i love. The first is an avocado and oatmeal face mask. I found this at CVS. It's not tested on animals. It purifies and deep cleans combination to normal skin. Then i have the freeman cucumber peel off mask. Normal to combo skin as well. This smells so good guys and does justice. Both brands have other types for certain purposes. I use these together. The first one on my u zone and the second on my t zone. Once or twice a week before bed.

Then every Sunday i go in with the Noxzema cleanser. I only like to use it once a week. It's very powerful and works well. My grandma had been using this all her life and her skin is absolutely clear.

Lastly i have the gold bond eczema relief cream. It contains 2% colloidal oatmeal. After i wash my face at night i apply this on my chin and jaw. It's fragrance free. Sometimes i'll mix a little with my moisturizer in the morning.

💓Additional:

I use a rag when washing my face instead of using my hands because the bristles per say of the cloth really get into the pores. Because of this, i stay aware of not wanting to scrub or pull, but gently wipe the product off.

I recommend using a brush to apply your face mask to keep any bacteria from your hand away from your face. I personally use my hands

AFRICAN BLACK SOAP AIN'T BLACK. IT MAY HAVE BLACK FLECKS IN IT. BUT IT SHOULD BE BROWN. I've heard shea moisture has some but i don't really trust it. But yeah, i suggest investing in it because it does work well. I haven't been able to get my hands on anymore ;-;

I reduce the puffiness and under eye circles (although i just need to get more sleep) with cold spoons, ice cubes and sometimes tea bags.

Take that makeup off before bed!

Don't wear makeup 24/7

Keep up that water intake!

I put vaseline on my eyelashes and eyebrows to help them grow.

I apply mouthwash on pimples before i go to bed (IT HELPS ME)

make sure to pay close attention to your forehead if you tend to do hairstyles with bangs alot. (Learned the hard way)

Don't pick at acne (or your face in general)

Get a good amount of sleep. reduce those under eye bags!

Don't frown. Frown lines are a no no

Get a regimen and stick to it!

I suggest silk pillow cases or at least washing your pillow cases every week or 2.

I personally refrain from sleeping on my face/ stomach down.

I've heard st.ives is good but it didnt do anything for me.

Sheet mask are nice lol

Put tea tree oil on problem areas (burts bees is a good one)

try to get a moisturizer with spf in it

💁💁💁

I apologize for the sideway pics😌 But seriously, i have people that complain i use too much but then say "oh my god you barely have acne anymore. LUCKY" like wtf do you think i'm doing to get it clear? Witchcraft? ..i mean if you are..and it works..do your thing. But damn. Also i have 2 questions. Is the mario badescu spray good? And is the Aveeno or Neutrogena better moisturizer wise?
