Routine

[Char568]

I need help creating a pretty good skincare routine! Mine curently is not the greatest. I have an oily t-zone sometimes but dry skin, acne, redness, puffiness, dark circles, acne scars, and lots of blackheads on my nose specifically. Anything helps! No budget!

Hi there! It sounds like you have combo skin, as do I! I would say start with a basic routine to get your skin in shape before going crazy with a 10-step routine. In the warmer months try a wash like Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Mini Alpha Beta® Pore Perfecting Cleansing Gel 2 oz/ 60 mL as it really helps with oil/breakouts in summer. A good vitamin c serum is worth it's weight in gold AND generally works for every skin type. Try OLEHENRIKSEN Truth Serum Hydrating Vitamin C Serum 1.0 oz/ 30 mL it's a classic and truly delivers! Then finish up with a good water/gel moisturizer to keep your t-zone in check. I personally LOVE Tatcha The Water Cream Oil-Free Pore Minimizing Moisturizer because it brightens the skin without making it greasy. Finish with a good spf like Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint with Hyaluronic Acid + Squalane , it's very liquidy and spreads BEAUTIFULLY on the skin. If you want, add an eye cream in for any concerns like wrinkles/circles/etc but I'd say start slow and build from there! Good luck and lemme know if you end up trying any of these products!!
