I've struggled for a while (ever since going off the pill) with bad skin, and I've tried everything... and I mean everything to clear it up. I tried Proactiv which worked at first but then stopped, I tried the Clarisonic and gave up on it for a while, and tried various pills and creams from the dermatologist with little to no help.
Then I decided to ditch the prescriptions and went back to my Clarisonic using an oil-free acne wash while applying an acne stress control toner afterwards which seems to be working better than everything else I've tried. I love how the Clarisonic is so deep cleaning and really gets down into my pores and removes dirt and makeup. At night, I also apply Olay's Regenerist for the wrinkles that are starting to develop around my eyes, and in the mornings I use a moisturizer before applying CC Cream that contains SPF in it and apply my favorite new lip balm EOS for my lips.

Daily Facial Routine
I feel that once I stopped fighting my skin so hard, is when it started to calm down. Using a gentle cleansing brush like my Clarisonic with an oil-free wash has been the answer I was looking for. It's still by no means perfect, but it's much better and that makes me happy.
What has or hasn't worked for you in terms of skin care?

I can't get enough of that eos lip balm!
ReplyDeleteThe clarisonic has saved my life! We have opposite skin (mine is dry) but it's crazy how the thing really works for everyone. I've been thinking about trying Hope In A Jar.. how do you like it?
ReplyDeleteLOVE my new Clarisonic too *wink*. I've already run out of the cleanser that came with it and just started using Philosophy's purity cleanser and love it works so far. What's the Hope in a Jar?
ReplyDeleteI started using Noxema two months ago at night. Like the cold cream old time stuff. And it freaking works. I'm still amazed by it.
ReplyDeletei am impressed!! i really need to be better about my face.
ReplyDeleteI am not very good about washing my face twice a day. Thankfully I have relatively good skin, but too much washing dries it out. I've wanted to try the clarisonic though
ReplyDeleteThis is a great daily routine. I'm still tweaking mine. I feel like I need to do different things for different seasons. I'm using a toner right now, but haven't seen any real benefits of it.
