Skincare Routine
I have extremely oily, acne prone skin. I've struggled with acne for years and now I'm struggling with scarring. I haven't perfected my routine yet, but I've finally established a routine that banishes all acne and gives me moisture without leaving me greasy. I'm gonna share my skincare routine with you guys!
Step 1: Cleanse/Exfoliate
I love to use the Dove Sensitive Skin Unscented Beauty Bar as a mild cleanser. For years I used products that were marketed as cleansers specifically for acne. The Dove Beauty Bar is mild on my skin and gets me squeaky clean. I can fight off acne with other treatments, as long as my skin is clean.
Facial cleansing brushes are my personal favorite tool for exfoliation. I use my brush on the lowest setting, and while my cleaner is on my face, I exfoliate with the brush. This helps to make sure my cleanser penetrates my skin and also takes off any dead skin.
Step 2: Astringent
The Clean & Clear Deep Cleaning Astringent is my favorite. Apply it onto a cotton pad and wipe your face. If your cleanser did a good job, you won't see any dirt. But the astringent removes any excess makeup, oil, and dirt left behind. Plus, it contains salicylic acid to help fight pimples!
Step 3: Moisturize
After all of the cleansing, your skin can be left a little dry. I use the Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer. It's oil free, so it moisturizes without leaving a greasy feel on my naturally super oily skin. And, it helps fight acne.
Alternate Routine: Acne Kits
If you want everything you need in the convenience of a kit, buy yourself a skin set! My favorite is the Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit. It contains a cleanser, moisturizer, and on spot acne treatment for about $20!
Of course be sure to drink plenty of water and eat as healthy as possible. Your skin is a reflection of what your put into your body!
