Caring for your skin can be a complicated process, especially if you are acne prone. There are so many products out on those shelves, that it can even become stressful! (yikes)
I have been there and have tried basically every product and different brand out there!
Acne can often be caused by an irritating culprit. In order to stop your skin from getting irritated you have to figure out what causes it. It helps to start from the basics, when figuring out what irritates your skin and what doesn’t.
The basics is usually just facial cleanser and water. Or just water for a while, it’s up to you. Then try a few different cleansers to see which one works for you.
It is best to give a new product a month to see if it works before tossing it. I know that is really hard to do, but just try it. Then if that cleanser works for you after a month you can add another product into your routine. That should be sunscreen! (again I will post more about this!)
Here’s how to wash the face correctly:
- First you splash your face with water.
- Then get a squirt of a very gentle cleanser and rub in the palms and finger tips.
- Next gently rub your fingertips over your face. Do this for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute! (this is key! I didn’t know this for a long time!)
- Finally splash your face with water and pat dry!
After about a month you can add moisturizers. If you are oily you do not need a moisturizer in the night or the morning! Sunscreen in the morning is all you need for moisture!
Remember give a month in between each new product. Slowly, is good when it comes to finding a new routine! Because if you introduce all of these new products all at once, you will not know what is irritating your skin and causing acne!
So slowly introduce one product at a time and see how your skin reacts before you introduce another.
