Taking care of your skin

Growing up I had the worst acne, it wasn't just pimples, it was like huge purple bumps of something. I hated my skin, it all started when I was very young (maybe 8 or 9) and I didn't get clear skin until after 17. I tried everything I could possibly find, scrubs, creams, soaps, nothing was really working. I would pretty much give up on a product after a week of use (I know, need more time).

When my skin finally cleared up, with some help from some stronger stuff, I felt relieved, and even though I still have a bit of scarring today, I love my skin, and my foundation who is working hard on keeping those scars invisible :)

I have for the last couple of weeks been looking at different skin care products and I have come up with a list of some that I really like:

First thing that I think is super important is a good facial wash and cleanser. One that I really like is the PCA Skin Facial Wash pHaze1. This wash is great for normal to oily skin, it cleanses out dirt, removes makeup, surface oil and everything else that keeps your skin from glowing. Also, it doesn't leave your skin feeling super tight and dry. You can check it out for yourself here: http://bit.ly/2gepgVd

Next we have a really good scrub from Dermalogica, it is the Skin Prep Scrub. This scrub works great for all skin types, it removes dirt and impurities and helps the skin absorb moisturizing products that you use after. Scrubs can be a bit harsh on the skin but this one is made entirely of natural products. See it here: http://bit.ly/2wGC1Pf

Next up we have the Exuviance Moisture Balance Toner. This is a toner, but it helps the skin get and keep moisture, everybody's skin is different and you might find that some moisturizers gives your skin too much while others don't really seem to do anything, but this toner actually helps your skin to figure it out.

Our last product is on the pricy side, but I think it's worth it. It's the June Jacobs Brightening Moisturizer. This moisturizer illuminates dull skin and leaves your skin glowing. It's also paraben and preservative free! Check it out here: http://bit.ly/2xkVMZz

Of course one thing products can't help you with, a balanced diet. Your diet plays such an important role for your skin, drinking lots of water is an effective and cheap way of clearing out your skin.
