Skin Care Favorites

For the past three years I have been dealing with acne and the aftermath of acne scars. I used foundation religiously to cover it up until I decided to deal with actual problem. After a ton of different products and home remedies I have found what works for my skin.

My skin type is normal/oily and very sensitive. I tend to deal with hormonal acne and break out more when I eat more sugar and oily foods. I've been using these products for a while now and I have seen the best results with them .

Face wash: I learned the hard way that acne specific face washes do not work for me. They strip my skin of it's natural oils and leave me with more acne and dry spots then before. The Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser has been a beacon of hope in the dim journey I have had with face wash. It's gentle enough to not break me out but strong enough to remove my heavy duty Nars All Day Luminous foundation.

Sunscreen: Everyone should have sunscreen in their daily routine. This is not something to take lightly. Sunscreen will protect you from premature wrinkles and skin cancer. Most sunscreens leave your face oily and foundation slipping everywhere. Neutrogena Clear Face sunscreen is the exception. It doesn't break you out or irritate skin and leaves you with a beautiful matte finish.

Scar Treatment: I think it's safe to say that acne scars are the worst. They are hard to cover and nearly impossible to get rid of. I've tried everything from laser treatments to DIY remedies to get rid of mine. Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution has given me the best results. It is extremely gentle, it doesn't have the horrible sent that most dark spot removers have and it can be used day and night.

Night Moisturizer/Oil: Kiehl's products are one of my favorites. They are reliable, gentle and get the job done. Their Midnight Recovery Concentrate is no different. You put it on before bed and wake up with bright, soft skin and smaller pores. Bonus: it has a relaxing lavender scent!
