Skincare Routine/Products (Daily)

Hey guys! This is going to be my first post, and it's just a list of products that I use and my skincare routine, and just a simple review on each one. (: I'm also going to post another one about my makeup routine/products, so stay tuned! :)

1. NuTeen: Acne & Pimples Away Cleanser (every morning, night and shower, that's about 3 times a day)

This is only a current cleanser, it's not something I bought to try out, coz my mom normally buys all brands of cleansers and use everything. I can't say I don't like this cleanser, but it doesn't seem to be doing much for my acne, so I just use it to clean my face. :)

2. Clean and Clear: Essentials Oil-Controlling Toner ( morning and night daily)

I haven't tried many toners, and this is one toner which my mom buys regularly, and I actually do kind of like. Number one, because it gets off any excess powder or foundation that the wet wipes and makeup remover and cleanser couldn't get. Number two, it's kind of painful and stings when I apply it onto pimples that have been pressed or burst. ( because in some sadistic way, it feels like a product that stings the wound slightly will heal it faster)

3. The Body Shop: Tea Tree Blackhead Exfoliating Wash (night, daily)

This is one of my favourite exfoliators, and I've been using it for quite awhile now. I know that people say exfoliating too often is bad for you, and cause your skin to look dull, but I'd rather have my skin dull, and moisturize it back again, rather than my skin plagued by acne and pimples. I use this every night, and I don't know if it's because of my skin getting used to it and not working anymore, or my skin is already that smooth all the time, but it seems to be not doing that good a job compared to when I first started. It really made a difference and made my skin feel so much smoother.

4. NuTeen: All Clear Moisturizer(night, daily)

Can't comment much on this, just that it's supposed to help fight pimples but it isn't helping. When I put a moderate amount, my skin feels oilier than it should be, so I end up under moisturizing my face. This is just temporary, looking to get a water based hydrating gel moisturizer that I can put under makeup to mattify my face after I'm done with this tube.

5. Duac: Pimple Cream(night, daily)

This is neither a drugstore brand or high end brand, but it's really expensive. I got it from my local dermatologist, who put me on antibiotics/ pills whatever for 3 months last time when my acne was more serious. The pills really cleared up my face, and following that, I was told to constantly use this cream whether or not I had problem areas until acne stopped totally. I do BELIEVE that this cream helps me, but i can't really be sure.

I guess that's all I use daily, I'll be updating another one with my other stuff that I don't use so regularly. Hope you guys enjoyed this post! :)
