Best Skincare Prouducts For Breakouts

Hello Everyone, I have been testing out some skincare products recently to see which works with my skin best to help get rid of breakouts. I started by getting little bumps over my forehead and just didnt know what they was until I researched and found out its not a rash or pimples but clogged pores!! I started to research more and find out how I can get rid of these pesty pores. 

• Exfoliate your skin at least 3 days a week. 

Exfoliating your skin 3 times a week can remove dead skin cells and can help reduce or remove those bumps. Leaving your skin feeling and looking much smoother which is a great feeling, even when applying your makeup your skin will feel less rough and more soft.

• Cleanse your skin everyday.

Cleansing your skin everyday will help remove any dirt/oil and any left over makeup.  Throughout the day the skin on your face is continually covered with bacteria, pollutants, viruses, dirt, and old (dead) skin cells, this will help reduce the breakouts and will give you a fresh look.

• Find a great moistuirser which will not irritate your skin.

Before finding the perfect product to use on my face to give moisture, I was using anti aging creams which was making my skin feel even worse and dry feeling and I could not understand why I was getting red rashes over my face. I have sensitive skin so I needed to change my moisuirser ASAP! I then decided to give ALOE VERA Gel a go which is great to use as a moisturiser as its super hyrdating. 

The benefits of aloe vera are that its great for pigmentation, acne, eczema and contains two hormones which are Auxin and Gibberellins. These two hormones provide wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce skin inflammation.

Lets now talk about my favourite products I am using to exfoliate and cleanse my skin!

• Chinese Ginseng & Rice Clarifying Polishing Mask

• My favourite product to use for exfoliating my skin, it has a lovely scent and feels lovely on your skin, I like to apply this product on first before cleansing my skin and apply and rub circle motions into my skin with a little water. You can apply this mask how ever you want and what works best for you.

• Lush Mask Of Magnaminty Self-Preserving

• This face and body mask I recieved as a gift for Christmas and LOVE it! It smells like chocolate chip mint and makes my skin look glowing after applying! This product is great to help fight spots and contains 13 100% vegetarian ingredients. I have used this product about five times and no where near-half way through. This pot lasts a very long time depending how much you apply on to your skin. My face tingles slightly when having this mask on but left my skin feeling fresh, smooth and all blemishes were gone!

• • Honey
  • Kaolin
  • Bentonite Gel
  • Talc
  • Glycerine
  • Organic Ground Aduki Beans
  • Evening Primrose Seeds
  • Peppermint Oil
  • Tagetes Oil
  • Vanilla Absolute
  • *Limonene
  • Perfume
  • Chlorophyllin

• A minty, multi-purpose mask with a mixture of gentle yet effective ingredients, including honey and kaolin, to help you maintain your magnificent skin. – Lush 

• But why choose self preserving?

• This marvellous mixture keeps itself clean without the help of synthetic preservatives. That’s because the hydrating antibacterial honey that keeps your skin clean and fresh, does the same to the formula and prevents it from growing microorganisms. Clever!

• The extra honey in this formula gives the mask a more luxurious, thicker texture than its preserved counterpart – meaning it does not dry on your skin in the same way as the preserved version. When it comes to choosing between the two, it all comes down to preference. – Lush 

The cleanser I am currently using is unfortunatly sold out every where and you cannot buy the product anymore. It was by Lisa Hoffman and was a serum day cleanser. When this product runs out I will definatly will be sticking to a serum cleanser as I love how it feels when applying and it is also easy to apply. Rubbing all the serum into my skin and washing off with warm water and then cold water to close the pores.

TIP

Try not to touch your face. WHAAT! Sounds silly but through out the day your hands can pick up bacteria and with out noticing you can be resting your head on your hand and instantly putting bacteria on your face which can cause a pimple.

I was wondering why I have pimples on my chin, but now I know what was causing so much breakouts around that area, Resting my head on my hand!
