Over the years, I have heard a lot of skincare tips and I've collected the ones that actually worked for me. My skin is sensitive, very oily, and acne prone. I have faced different problems: pores, pimples, blackheads, redness. I have tried many different skincare products and I will share with you my favorite ones.
Let's talk about cleansers. My mom always says that cleansing your skin is very important, so no matter how tired you are or whatsoever, always take some time to cleanse your skin at night. It doesn't matter if you wear make-up or sunscreen or any other product; wash your face before you go to bed. It is very helpful to let your face breath some clean air. Since I moved to NY, I realized the importance of letting my skin breath a little. Impurities are in the air, the moment you walk out of your house, your skin has to face a lot of different weather conditions that affect its health and fumes of the cars etc. I have two favorite cleansers; although I have tried many different brands, I always come back to them. I love them both equally: the Clinique Acne Solutions Cleansing Bar For Face And Body and the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Foaming Cream.

And now let's go to the part I never thought was important: the toner. After washing your face, the use of toner is really helpful. I have two toners I love. My number 1 toner is the chamomile. You can actually make it yourself: you boil chamomile and water, you let it cool, put it in a little bottle, and there you have it, the toner you just made by yourself. It's as easy as it sounds. Chamomile is amazing. Press the following link to read all the good stuff chamomile offers to us: Learn about chamomile. My number 2 toner is the acne solutions clarifying lotion. This toner is part of the acne solutions 3-step skin care by Clinique. I love it and it has helped me a lot. Here is some information about the product: Clinique Clarifying Lotion.
Last but not least, every girls nightmare: the pimples. My number 1 spot treatment for pimples is the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion, it's ideal for whiteheads and it's the best advice I've gotten here. My sister-in-law introduced me to this brand and I will definitely try more products from this line. If you have an Amazon Prime subscription, you can also order the Mario Badescu products from the Amazon website or app. Also, hand-sanitizers can be a last-minute spot treatment solution for pimples. I always have a hand-sanitizer handy and I believe it's a cheap solution alternative for the acne prone skin breakouts. Another spot treatment that works: Aspirin. Why does it work? Because of the salicylic acid which is a natural part of aspirin and it is also used for topical applications for acne treatment. If you have aspirin in your meds cabinet, you can take a pill, crush it up, add some water or chamomile to make a paste, apply the aspirin paste on your pimple, and wait for several minutes. Then, rinse off without rubbing it too hard and the pimple should diminish in redness and size.
That's all for now, I hope that you'll enjoy this post and feel free to share your opinion about these skincare tips.
