Hey Guys!
Recently I've been noticing that I've had quite clear-ish better skin and I am so happy about it right now because to be honest it makes me feel more confident knowing that my skin is clearer. So with this newly found experience I am having I thought I would share the products I use, as well as a few tips and tricks on how I deal with spots and hopefully it will be helpful to some of you to take away with you!
Products I use to deal with spots:
Cetaphil Miracle Skin Cleanser *face wash*
Origins A Perfect World Moisturiser
Soap and Glory Flake Away
Good Things Deep Pore Cleanser *toner*
Good Things Face Mask
Duac Gel.
Cetaphil:
This has been by far the best face wash I've used, usually after a while my skin gets used to a face wash and I have to change to a new one but I've been using this for quite a bit now and it still does a fantastic job at keeping the skin clean and clear.
Soap and Glory Flake Away:
This may seem a bit odd to add in a spot post but I find that ex-foliating my face lightly with this once or twice a week clears dead skin which means the skin looks more fresh and away as well as being rid of dead bacteria infested skin.
Good Things Face Mask:
I use this once or twice a week to give my skin an almost deep cleanse I guess is the best way to describe it. Not only does this face mask smell devine but it also makes the skin feel soothed and you only have to apply a thin layer which equals more product for me!
Good Things Cleanser:
I'm not really going to say much about this product since I've reviewed it already (
which you can read here) but it is amazing and really does the job well.
Origins Perfect World:
I use this twice a day after washing my face, it is a antioxidant moisturiser meaning it takes out the impurities in the skin which helps keep it clear.
Duac Gel:
The product I have used for the longest time (nearly three years) you can't buy it over the counter but if you really suffer from spots/acne I would 100% recommend this prescribed product, since using it I have noticed that 99% of the time any spots I do get are not angry aggressive spots which this gel helps prevent.
Tori's Tips and Tricks
- Wash your face twice a day, morning and night to cleanse skin and also to remove any left over make-up a baby wipe or any other product you use to take of your make-up has left remaining.
- When using face wash remove with a cloth not hands, it's more hygienic, gets into all the nooks and crannies and are very useful *they sell packs of 3 for £1.50 in Primark if I am not mistaken.*
- Use a face mask once/twice a week so your skin can have a really good cleanse and detox from anything on your face.
- Ex-foliate your face once/twice a week to remove dead skin, as the skin and bacteria really does build up quickly and you'll notice your skin is dirtier when it hasn't been ex-foliated!
- If you really feel you are suffering from bad skin or don't feel comfortable do not hesitate to go see your GP about gel formulations you can receive to help.
-A obvious tip, try your best to not pop them! It will just make it worse!
- Keep to some sort of routine as best you can, so you will get used to it.
- If you feel a product isn't working for you or isn't affective for you any more, don't worry just change the product, I find that often happened to me with face wash's, I figure *please correct me if I am wrong* that sometimes the skin adapts to the ingredients in the product that help your skin, almost mutation in a way so then it is no longer effective and does not do that specific field in which you wanted it to help with!
I hope this helped people, just to point out as well that I am not qualified in this sort of profession,all that I have said if from personal experience as it is all I can really comment on, but if you have any question feel free to ask in the comments or tweet/email me and I will answer as best I can!
