I've never had problems with my skin growing up. it was always clear and smooth.
but the acne Gods had other plans for me, after my second child I was 21-22 and it was down hill from there. It was bad cystic and all over my cheek, forehead and chin. Not greasy, just there and it was horrible when i wore makeup it only made it more noticeable. I was never a big makeup wearer until the last 2 years.I started watching you tube and all the gurus kinda made me think hey! maybe there is a whole bunch of crap on my brushes? or hey maybe that golden sparkly blush is making them pop up more! So I listened, I tried and tried. then I went to Sephora the mother of all makeup stores the holy grail! I fell in love,so much I would hate going with another person because I felt rushed or hurried. anyhoo, I would go once a week and would ask,ask and ask! I asked everything how do I find my outer V, how do I hide dark circles, whats this brush do!
Well lets just say I went so much that every week I always got the 500 point perk. as I collected things I liked and things I didn't. I saw a video about the Clair sonic on YouTube I don't want to lie whose video it was but I broke down and bought my Mia. OMG I couldn't believe it. the feeling! it was great. so I got my machine down. now I needed a face soap, toner and moisturizer. I was using tea tree oil but it was horrible I smelt, my eyes were throbbing. I saw a video on people using antibiotics as a treatment for acne. light bulb! i thought hmm maybe I have a bacteria that's causing this. so I went to look for an antibacterial face soap. I found Triple Clean Anti-Bacterial Lathering Cleanse
its an antibacterial face wash, but hard to find. I also seen a video about a toner by
Dickinson Brands, Original Witch Hazel, Pore Perfecting Toner
It has witch hazel in it that helps with the oil. now I knew I needed to exfoliate so I went for the clean and clear deep action exfoliating scrub.and I purchased purity made simple by philosophy to clean my brushes but I ended up using it for removing my makeup as the others I couldn't get near my eyes or it was to thick for the eye area. I also started using the clean and clear Persa gel 10 along with advantage-acne-control-moisturizer and a the Oil of Olay Active Hydrating Cream from the original line.
So with my Mia and products in hand I started my regimen and I was faithful. and to be honest the more I used it the more I loved my face. I loved the feel the look sure ill never get a natural tan on my face again. but its nothing a bronzer cant fix. I use my products in a certain order if that has anything to do with it I don't know but I also don't care! all I know its been working and i'm not changing it. I guess as long as I stick to the antibacterial, exfoliate, witch hazel, moisturize rule no matter what brand or name. but for the price i'm good with this. I would love to hear what your doing even if its nothing! let me know. Thanks for Reading!
