Advice for good skincare products x

To be honest with you, too many products are only going to harm your skin. I would stick to a skin care routine with a few select products, and change and adjust product lists to your skin care needs (if one cleanser is too strong and is making your skin worse, switch to a gentle cleanser….)

Here is what I used, and what fixes my unruly skin as a teenager. 

1.) A gentle cleanser. I used Lush’s fresh Pharmacy Bar Soap for years. Find one that suits your skin type. If you need help finding your skin type, ask a dermatologist! 

2.) Moisturizer. Now that you have washed off all dirt, oils and grime, you need to replenish that somehow. If you are prone to acne, stick to a lighter moisturizer, as you can always apply more. Listen to your skin and how it feels

3.) SUNSCREEN. I can’t believe how much my skin changes after I used sunscreen. I never knew how important it was to prevent skin damage, and once I started using it my skin got more clear. 

4.) Acne Patches. I use the Peace Out acne patches to this day. Pulls out all moisture from the area, and I like to leave it on as I sleep. It makes your pimples a million times more manageable, and this way you never have to pop them and worry about scaring. Ugh. Such a life saver. They even have DAY patches discreet enough to wear it all day. It’s the best. 

5.) Lip products, like lip oil, chapstick or an overnight lip mask. We all need to take care of our lips, no matter what age we are. 

6.) Proper hydration. It’s more important than you think! Drinking enough water can mean the difference between breaking out and not! 

7.) Proper Sleep. Same explanation as above! We don’t want to stress our body out! 

PLEASE AVOID things like retinols. Those you should never use until you are older, or unless proscribed by your dermatologist. 

Keeping your skin care regimen simple and most importantly consistent is the key to maintaining healthy skin. You don’t need a 15 step routine to get there, especially when your body is going through some changes. 

I hope this helps. 🙂
