Everyone has to take care of their skin whether they have acne or not, and I have always been obsessed with my skin and methods of taking care of it. Korean skin care has always interested me as well as the natural ingredient movement. However, over time I've figured out what's right for me and I'm still tweaking it. Here products that I love to use:
Basic Routine (Morning and Night)
1) Lush's Herbalism
I know Lush is pretty pricey, however herbalism is like magic in a 3.5oz container. It's a daily cleanser that is made from ground almonds and Kaolin, it also exfoliates (thanks to the ground almonds), and it can be used every day. Bonus: for you vegans out there it's vegan.
This goes first in my routine to brush off the dirt and grime from a long day or sleep.
It goes for $16.96-41.95 online, however price vary in stores as well as sizes.
2) Lush’s Fresh Farmacy
This soap is for sensitive skin and can also be used every day, I used it after or before herbalism to get that quick deep cleanse. It’s combination of calamine and tea tree oil can help with acne prone skin and oily skin. It also makes your skin feel like an angel’s bottom. Bonus: also, vegan.
It goes for $11.95 for 3.5 oz online, prices vary in stores.
3) Rose Water and Glycerin
This is literally crack for your skin. After you’ve finished drying your face you can spritz this once or twice for a fresh finish, no need for heavy moisturizing lotions that clog your pores this moisturizes and hydrates your face naturally. It also works as a cooling spray also and lasts for a while at a really cheap price.
Rose water also has a ton of other listed uses, so it's best to keep it on hand.
You can find it on Amazon for $9.68
Finish off with your favorite sunscreen for the morning.
Routine when I’m having a bad skin day
I start off by using either Herbalism or Fresh Farmacy, and then I use one of my various masks. I’m just going to list both of them.
4) Lush’s Mask of Magnaminty
This double-threat cleanser/exfoliant is incredibly soothing and minty, it can sooth any flare up and further exfoliates, just wash off after 5-10 minutes so it doesn’t feel caky. It’s very gentle on skin and can be used every day.
It goes for $14.95- 28.95 online, but also varies in store.
5) Organik Botanik Australian Charcoal facial mask
This non-abrasive charcoal mask also does a great job soothing, hydrating, and detoxing, shouldn’t be used every day because of the charcoal in it. However after 5-10 minutes just wash it off with warm water.
Goes for $14.95 online, but I actually found it in store as lucky find.
Finish with Rosewater.
I bought these all in increments, so don't go spending all at once!
