My Skincare Products and Use

Hey Everyone!
Today's blog post is on the three skincare products I love to use. My acne is not terrible, so this is a good routine for me and maintaining your skin. A little disclaimer is that I have not tried out so many products to have something to compare it to. I may say, "This is the best ___," but that's just the best for me. Long story short, some of these products you may love, while others-not so much. Anyways, let's get started!

*Links will take you to the product, all prices are USD.
1. Remove All Makeup
First I use my makeup remover, which technically isn't a skincare product, however it is the first product I use in my regimen. I use the Clinque Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes, and Lips. I got mine for $18 at Sephora. I really like this and it does take off makeup really well. It's not oil free, but you're only supposed to use on your eye area and lips. If you wanted to but this, but are worried it's going to make you oily, you can uses a wash cloth after and cleanse your face. :) I only wear mascara and eyeshadow, and sometimes concealer, so this works fine for me (for the concealer I will use a little of this; I will also use water, or my cleanser-it depends.) I use a cotton ball and gently rub it on my eyelids.

2. Exfoliate
Second I use my exfoliant. I use the Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Scrub which I got at Walmart for $4.47. I have a review here if you want to learn more. I take my finger and put a little bigger than a pea onto both my cheeks and forehead and take a smaller amount for my nose and chin.
 
3. Cleanse!
For cleansing my skin, I use my Fresh Soy Face Cleanser which I also got at Sephora. I absolutely love this stuff. It makes your skin really soft and it also takes off makeup well too. I highly recommend this! I also use a cotton ball and gently apply this all over my face. I take a wash cloth and lightly pat at my face.

4. Spot Treat
I use my CVS Pharmacy Targeted Acne Spot Treatment, which you can get at CVS. I have  review here. I do the same thing with the Clean and Clear product for application, but not as much. I do apply this all over my face because it helps maintain and prevent acne, but of course there's always that stubborn pimple!

That's all I do! I do all of this steps after my shower every other day, except cleansing because I don't have a lot of my Soy Face Cleanser. Thanks for reading! -Kait

My Acne Saver is a Drugstore Product?!

Hey Girls!
You don't need to go high-end for skin. You don't need to go high-end for anything! Of course, the products can work better, or feel nicer. However, my favorite (so far) skin care product is the CVS Pharmacy Targeted Acne Spot Treatment. My skin (since I'm young) is oily around my nose, other than that, my skin is not exactly dry, but not oily. My skin isn't terribly acne-prone either. I find that when I don't use this product I break out because I don't have the preventage. Anyways, I have been using this product for almost a year, went through two bottles, and my skin isn't all that bad. Of course it isn't perfect, I have a few small bumps, but most of the time it's fine. This is a cream and my cousin tried it and she said that it doesn't dry her out that much. Personally, I don't think it dries me out at all (maybe a little if anything). I use this after every shower (every other day) when my skin is drier and my pores are open. Since my skin is dry then, when I put this on it almost mosturizes it. This prevents and gets rid of current acne. I don't know how it will work on your skin, but for me it's the anti-acne product I only use. Sometimes I will occasionally use my Fresh Soy Face Cleanser (which is amazing, but I have a deluxe size, so I only use it on times when I need it). If your looking for a drugstore product to try out, and just want to give something a try, I would recommend this!
