Skincare Holy Grail (Acne Safe/Oily Skin)

My skin throughout high school was a nightmare. Acne on my cheeks, forehead, and chin. I started this routine during college and have never regretted it! People now ask me for my skin routine because it gives “clean girl glow”.

My first step in my skincare routine (besides washing my face). It helps my skin feel so hydrated, and the combination of witch hazel and hyaluronic acid has helped lessen probability of getting new pimples.

Last step in my skincare routine. Sets all of my serums in place. Also helps keeping my skin hydrated through the day/night. Also works along with the discoloration serum to help rid of dark spots.

Aquaphor is amazing. I usually put a tiny bit on my lips after i finish my whole skin care routine. Keeps my lips soft and hydrated all day.

This serum, along with the other two on my list, have helped achieve that shiny skin look. This serum helped my pores look smaller, in turn helping my makeup look smoother.

I usually wash my face before applying my whole skincare routine. Many people believe using bar soap on your face isn’t the best, I found it’s helped me better than most cleansers

The pink micellar water has been amazing for my skin. Not harsh at all and removes makeup so well that my skin is ready for my skincare routine.

I used this when i first started my skin journey. It works wonders for trying to give your skin a glow while also working to get rid of scarring. Now i only use it once in a while, but i used it religiously when i had more scarring.
