Skincare Obsessions!!

I feel like no matter what time of year, the weather will always affect my skin. I can make excuses but lets be real, my skin is just super sensitive. I have tried it alllll and believe me that spans drugstore products, expensive high-end products, and also medicated products. Of course I will be honest, there were times when I gave up too quickly on some other products because I wasn't seeing results quick enough.

The key to success (DJ Khaled voice) haha is that you give your skin time to let the products work and also make sure you are very aware of your skin type. Take into consideration the certain areas that you want to improve and make healthy.

For example, my skin is very oily in my T-zone but dry everywhere else. I have hormonal acne and my skin scars very easily. These are the main things that I know that I want to heal so now moving forward I work the products around those concerns.

I like to always make sure that my entire face is super moisturized. I don't care how oily your skin gets, you need to feed moisture into your skin every single day. The combination that works for me is the CeraVe PM moisturizer and my dermatologist prescribed Clindamycin lotion. Both of these together give me moisturized skin with medicated benefits. The consistency is light and weightless, so it does not leave a greasy sheen on my skin. I use these products on my skin twice a day.

                 

Now at night time is the opportunity to use those heavy, super concentrated products. During the nighttime I love to come home from work and throw on a face mask (Mario Badescu Super Collagen mask) so I can detox my skin from anything that irritated it during the day. After I go through my moisturizing routine I put my prescribed Retin-A on my skin. I use the .025% and I love it because it is a very creamy consistency and doesn't over dry my skin like stronger prescriptions use to do.

And now my life saver......my Smart Profile Clarisonic! This thing is incredible. It doesn't have a spinning brush head like the original ones. Instead it sends pulsing vibrations and has a timed system for each section of the face so you won't over exfoliate. Please ladies exfoliate your skin in the winter time!

Please take care of your skin ladies, it will thank you in the long run!!

Ciao!!
