How I got rid of my acne

My mom has perfect skin and all she does is use vaseline on her face and whatever soap she is using. Unfortunately she did not pass on those genes to me. I have struggled with acne from maybe thirteen until now.  I used to get cystic acne especially on my forehead and it was painful. I went to a dermatologist when I was in high school who told me to use tea tree oil. It helped but I would still get the acne.

Over the years I have been trying different things and my face looks the best it has in my adult life. To be honest I am not sure if it is the combination of products and habits that have changed my skin or I just outgrew the acne. My mom would always say that I would outgrow it. There maybe a chance that maybe the reason I do not get as much acne. I really don’t know. What I can say is, I like how my skin feels and looks now.

My routine is quite simple. I really do not have the patience to use a million products to look good. That is why I hardly wear makeup. As long as I look “presentable”, I am ok. I always feel like I can use the extra 15 minutes to do something that I enjoy. like a chapter in a book or sleep in. I know, I am kinda lazy.

I use these products on regular basis

#1 St Ives Apricot Scrub

 I use this scrub every other day and it helps my skin feel refreshed and smooth.

#2 St Ives Green Tea Gel Cleanser

I use this on the spin brush and it gently cleanse and exfoliates my face.

#3 Tea tree oil

I use this as a toner to cleanse my pores.

#4 Freeman Avocado and Oatmeal Clay Mask

I use this mask once or twice a week to deep clean and purify my skin.

#5 Coconut Oil

I use the coconut oil to moisturise my skin. I use the coconut oil to clean my face as well especially if I have worn any makeup.

 

I also take a multivitamin and a probiotic everyday. I tried the hair, skin, and nails vitamins before and they made me sick so I stopped, this was before I had Leo. Plus they were expensive!
