a tip for everyone: Stay away from sugars like candy, chocolate, and soda Also, i dont eat a lot of greasy fast foods like mcdonalds and such. the reason that i wash my face twice is to make sure that all the make up is gone. so at night i use a bar of soap then a scrub because sometimes with just one, makeup can be left on and clog your pores. so even if you have sensitive skin, wash your face once with bar soap, rinse it off and do it again.
also: please read the message at the bottom :)
COMBO SKIN
Morning
- wash your face with an ivory or olay soap bar. yes a plain bar of soap
- use the netrogena wave all over your face for two minutes. the original not the duo. although im hoping to get the duo soon
- pat dry, DONT RUB! causes wrinkles :P
- using a cotton ball or pad, pour a little bit of netrogena oil-free acne stress control triple action toner on it and apply all over your face.
- i dont use a moisturizer because my face is so oily
throughout the day
- drink about 3 bottles of water and eat fruits and vegetables that are made of mostly water things like : watermelon, apples, celery, lettuce etc.
- use clean and clear oil absorbing sheets to keep oil build up at bay without ruining your make up
nighttime
- wash your face with the same bar of soap
- scrub your face for two minutes with netrogena oil-free acne stress control power-clear scrub
- pat dry
-toner again
i also take a multivitamin once a day
OILY SKIN
when i had oily skin, it was the same as combo but i added Panoxyl gel 5 antibacterial acne gel with 5% benzoyl peroxide. This gel is very drying so apply only when needed and not everyday. use at night only after doing everything else. i used it as a spot treatment because if you use it on an area of skin that isnt oily you could end up with a chemical burn and peeling of the skin :\ USE WITH CAUTION!
DRY SKIN
same as the combo skin(not oily) except change the olay soap for dove. dove has moisturizers in it. depending on how dove works for you (i dont know cuz i dont have dry skin) use an oil free moisturizer in the morning and at night after everything else. dont use the clean and clear oil absorbing sheets either
SENSITIVE SKIN
do the combo skin routine but take out the toner in the morning and night, and use the wave and the scrub on opposite days so Monday: bar of soap then wave in the morning, bar of soap at night. tueday: bar of soap in the morning, bar of soap then scrub at night. (hopefully that makes sense haha)
hope this helps! message me to let me know how it all works for you! and if it doesnt help im sorry:( this is what i do to keep my skin clear and healthy looking. please dont come after me if it doesnt work for you remember everyones skin is different! and oily skinned girls, please be careful with the gel. it is pain ful when you get the chemical burn and peeling trust me.
