SKIN + CARE = NEVER ENDING BATTLE

Honestly, figuring out what skin-care products to use can be exhausting and frustrating which at the end leads to to just giving up. I mean, there are hundred of products for acne, blemishes, blackheads, and then hundred for anti – aging, lifting, oils, serums, treatments, toners, cleansers! just too much!

How can you narrow down to, i don`t know, 3-5 products to create a routine for a good, clean and well cared skin? Obviously by watching YouTube videos for days, and reading reviews of products and end up buying that product for some or a lot of money which your skin will decide to just not gonna like. Or you wont buy that particular product and you will stick to your routine of 1-2 products which you are not happy about. But you started to noticed that these are causing you breakouts, texture, dryness, redness so you just want to make your skin a bit better, smoother or glowier? Well l can relate - it is overwhelming and exhausting.

To also figure out what skin type you have to adjust the right products to it can be the next mission impossible. And your skin is not helping you at all! For example, my skin is dry, but the forehead, nose and chin are more oily, so on these parts i don`t get breakouts, but on my cheeks, i do! And not to mention with these million skin care products there have been a lot more skin care types. Not just dry and oily, but normal, sensitive, combination skin, ultra dry, ultra oily, tired, problematic, aging skin and more.

Which on one hand is good, don`t get me wrong, you have choice and not just a limit of just dry and oily skin, but on the other hand it can cause a huge problem. For example if you have sensitive, dry and aging skin, you will most probably buy three or more products for those but it can happen that you get another problem : breakouts. So you have t get a product for that as well. But you don`t know which product, or combination of products, is causing you these breakouts, or whatever skin problem you are dealing with. I mean never ending battle!

To be honest, i am always trying to find products that have little ingredients and the main ingredients is natural.

Recently i discovered a website called CosDna on which i check the ingredients of my skin care product and makeup products. You just type in a product and you get a list of its ingredients and 3 categories : acne, irritant and safety. Acne and irritant go form 0-5 ( by zero i mean that they are not causing acne of irritate your skin ) and safety from 0-10.

After i check my skincare product which i used they were all 3 and 4 for acne and irritant and high numbers of safety. I was shocked! I throw everything away and i started my routine from the beginning. And now l can finally say that l found my perfect routine which i use for month now – it is affordable, and it keeps my skin calm and moisturized.

1.step : take off my makeup with these wipes ( when l don`t have makeup, l don`t use this step )

2.step : cleansing - with the Aloe Vera cleanser which is the best one l ever tried! i am addicted! Plus it is extremely affordable.

3.step : this product, clean distilled witch hazel, which l am also using like a toner, is the best thing i ever used on my skin! for cleaning my skin, removing dirt and getting rid of acne scars like nothing! And did l mention it is hella cheap?

4.step : moisture. l`ve been through like 6 or 7 this gel cream moisturisers. l love it so much! it is keeping the moisture in my very dry skin and l have been using it mostly in the morning and at night.

+ every other day l use this Danielle creations silicon face washing sponge which also helped me with my breakout scars - as a light exfoliating. l noticed a big difference when l started using it!

5.step : I use this mask 2-3 times a week but it works wonders on my skin! l`ve been through at least 3 of this jars!

6.step : eye cream - to be honest, i don`t use this every single day, because the Neutrogena gel cream feel cooling and moisturizing under my eyes, and on other days l simply forget about it!
