My Current Skincare Routine :: Amazon Favorites

Today I’m sharing my current skincare favorites that have helped clear my skin. I’ve been putting my skin to the test this year and breaking out in places that I’ve never before! I have flare ups on my chest and back from my daily workouts and maskne from poor cleansing routines. Thank you to Dermalogica for sponsoring today’s post.

  1. How to get rid of acne scars?
    Beauty is more transparent, tech-savvy than ever before compared to 2010. Are you still using the same skincare from your teenage years? Guess what, your skin changes when you’re an adult. Scars form when too much collagen forms in a wound when healing. Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) can be reduced with usage of Niacinamide.

  2. How to identify my skin type?

  3. Take the skin quiz on dermalogica, they analyze photos of your skin.

  4. What products do you use?

    Listed below.

  5. What are the proper steps to apply skincare (toner, moisturizer, etc)

    Be careful when you wash your face, don’t use water that’s too hot that can dry your skin. Keeping your skin balanced helps with over production of oil glands. During the day, I use a water based cleanser, light moisturizer, and SPF 30. At night, I remove my makeup by double cleansing, then exfoliate, tone, and finish with a serum.

  6. How to help whiteheads & blackheads
    Avoid working out with makeup that can clog your pores. Be sure to wash your face properly at the beginning before your sweat session. Have a balanced lifestyle: That means get more sleep, eat a balanced diet, drink more water, limit caffeine consumption, and don’t smoke. Do this, and you’ll be on your way to clear skin in no time!

  7. How to use face roller properly?
    Be sure to wash your jade roller and wipe it down after each use. Do a deep clean once a week. You can pop it into the fridge to boost the de-puffing power of a jade roller.

  8. What is maskne?
    Mask + acne combined together. Some people have an irritation to the mask they’re wearing or actually acne. What to look for, the skin feels more oil under the mask, clogged pores in the area where you have. If you’re dealing with maskne - do not layer heavy products. Cleansing before you wear your mask and at night to not allow dirt, oil, bacteria to get trapped. Pick a lighter moisturizer. Ceramide / glycerin to help with repairing the skin barrier or niacinamide. Oil free is good with maskne. Wash your face in the morning! Or even lip products that can spread around the mouth.
