Ok, today imma talk beauty. If you read my skincare post a while back, you'll remember that I really battle with my skin - I suffer from mild acne, super enlarged pores, dryness and sensitivity. For the record, I don't use Clinique skincare any more - I was finding it too harsh.
Here's a breakdown of my regime for anybody who's interested:
AM:
Cleanse with Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel
Clarins Toning Lotion for Oily Skin
Zineryt Topical Acne Treatment (prescription only)
Lush Vanishing Cream
Clinique Super City Block SPF 40
PM:
Cleanse with Lush Herbalism
Apply moisturiser where needed - I'll use a fair few, depending on how I feel.
Apply Retin A gel (prescription only)
I'm aware that this is a hefty routine - I'm constantly trying new things to try and get on top of my skin - but this routine has done wonders for the overall appearence of my skin, however I do still suffer from spots. I've also started to notice a huge correlation between my diet and my skin (that I'd never really paid attention to before) - especially with alcohol and dairy, so I'm really trying to avoid these!
I also try to use facemasks/concentrated treatments regularly - though I often forget... I may do a post on this at another time.
I hope this was helpful to somebody!
Retin A is THE BEST. I have the cream version. Zaps a spot overnight, I dunno what I'd do without it. I have crazy skin too, I started using Vichy and La Roche Posay and they're working brilliantly. :)
ReplyDeleteI like La Roche Posay products - but I hardly ever buy them, as I only tend to buy a product if I can sample it first, which I can't do with those! The calming range (I really can't remember the name!), designed for fragile skin is so fantastic - I don't know why I stopped using it actually...
