My skin:
Oily/combination,
Mostly oily t-zone and around brow bone and cheek area
Black heads
Medium-large pores, gets clogged easily (can’t help the genetics)
Not really “acne-acne proned†but because of clogged pores, I get white-heads etc.
I have blemish scars, sun spots, speckly skin
and pimples get red easily
My products right now:
MORNING:
-Cleanser: JUARA rice facial cleanser (very soothing, I end with splash of cold water)
or
Guinot Purifying Cleansing Gel
-Toner: DDF glycolic toner (sometimes I skip this in the morning ‘cause if your sunblock
is not strong enough, it will actually make dark spots darker)
-Moisturizer: Guinot Pure Balance Cream (good for oily skin like mine)
-Sunblock: Phytobiodermie anti-wrinkle sunblock (spf 35? Very good non-sticky texture
that works well under concealer/loose powder etc.)
NIGHT:
-Cleanser: JUARA rice facial cleanser (most nights)
or
Mario Badescu’s Glycolic foaming cleanser (sometimes I switch it up with this
in the summer time)
-Toner: DDF glycolic toner
-Moisturizer: Shiseido Pureness Gel-Crème Hydratant
-Masks: (I try 2x a week, sometimes 1x)
Guinot Pure Balance Mask for Combination/Oily Skin (dries quickly, helps
against, blackheads and blemishes, has some sort of medication in it)
JUARA milk & red sandalwood mask (for anti-redness/anti-inflammatory, good
for those red pimples/blotches)
JUARA lime & cucumber clarifying mask (to exfoliate/de-clog pores, feels fresh)
-pimple treatment:
Kiehl’s Drawing Paste with Azulene
Results:
Less breakouts except for the usual monthly cycle, pores are tighter, but still needs some work because I have been busy this summer and have not had the time to closely take care of my skin every day, otherwise, surprisingly pretty good for the summer humidity
