I thought I would share this with you because
it’s something that a lot of people suffer, at least once a month. I have
combination oily skin and suffered of acne when I was a teenager, so sometimes
I get break-outs more than once a month
So I was having a terrible week with blemishes.
I was not eating well, I was stressed with school, the air conditioner in my
office was like a freezer, and I got panicked and filled my face with products
that I didn’t even need at that moment. I was going crazy. No matter what I
put on, my face looked like a volcano and the blemishes seemed to get even more
notorious. One night I decided to suspend a few of the products from my normal
skincare routine, which consisted in: eye makeup remover, face makeup remover,
Clarisonic Mia, Lancôme Mousse Radiance, Tonique Douceur, Estée Lauder Advanced
Night Repair, Clinique All about eyes rich eye cream, La Roche Posay Effaclar
Duo and Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer… quite a list!
Now, that night I only removed my makeup,
washed my face with the Lancôme Mousse Radiance, applied my toner, my eye cream
and the Effaclar Duo. Miracle happened. The blemishes were like 70% gone the
next morning. Now I know that less is more when it comes to blemishes.
Fortunately my skin is fine now and I’ve gone
back to my normal skincare routine and my skin keeps getting better. Another
important fact is to always keep your makeup brushes clean (a deep wash once a
week will do), and if you use your fingers, wash your
hands or use a sanitizer before touching your face. Also remember that health
comes in by your mouth, so you have to drink a lot of water and avoid sugars
and cooking oils. :)
