Daily Skin Care Products For Acne

Been having trouble with your acne? I know exactly what your going through! I have suffered with acne for most of my teenage years, regularly buying and trying new products that claim to vanish this annoying condition. I have tried several high-street, high end and medically recommended products some of which have worked and others that have totally failed!! I now finally have a daily skin care routine that I find reliable and works well to treat my acne as well as keeping my skin healthy.



Simple Oil Balancing Exfoliating Face Wash - Is a product that I generally like to use once a week, as it is recommended that you shouldn't exfoliate too much. I use this when my skin is feeling a bit deflated or if my make-up is not applying as smoothly as I would like. It does a great job at removing any dead skin cells but isn't too harsh, also I only use a little amount so it does go a long way.

Natural By Nature Oils, Pure Coconut Oil - Has got to be one of my holy grail skin care products. As you may know coconut has many healing qualities and is currently a very popular product. I find using this on my skin helps to ease any skin irritation, help to cure any possible acne infections as well as helping to sooth skin. This is one of the best coconut oils I have discovered and if any little spots appear I apply some of this, most of the time over night it will either disappear or get rid of the irritation so that there is no redness. Coconut oil is also useful at repairing skin and can help to prevent any other skin irritations.

Bio-Oil - As well as using coconut oil to heal spots I have recently been getting back in to the habit of using bio-oil. I try to apply this every night although I am slightly forgetful!! The instructions recommend to use it twice daily for a minimum of three months to see any sign of it actually working, however I much prefer one application of an evening as its more suitable for my skin, I have been using it on and off for almost three months but find that some of my darker scars already have a lighter appearance!! So if scaring is something that you are struggling with defiantly give this a go!

Boots Botanics Mattifying Day Cream - If you've been reading my blog for a while then you may know that this has been a favourite of mine for quite some time, in fact I wrote a post all about it (link here). This is my everyday facial moisturiser, as I have oily skin I like to use a 'Mattifying' cream to help control my shine. This also contains SPF15 which is great for the warmer months, it's a great moisturiser that just does the job perfectly. The cream almost immediately sinks into my skin and I have never suffered with irritation on my face or acne with this product where as several other drugstore moisturisers tend to sting and make my face sore/irritated. I find that I am way more careful with my choices at the drugstore for moisturisers as a lot do not work well with acne however I can happily recommend this one.

Clinique Anti-blemish Solution Foaming Face Wash - Lastly is a more recent skin care purchase, I am a fan of a few Clinique products already and a few weeks ago I brought the sampler set for the anti-blemish collection. There was a solution, foam facial wash and moisturiser. My favourite from the set is the foam wash as I felt it has worked better on my acne than the other two products. The foam wash is something I use almost daily to refresh my skin and is apart of my facial cleansing system. It is a light foam that is gentle on the skin, it has a slight chemically scent but at the same time I feel as though it does a good enough job at giving a nice/gentle deep clean to my spots.

Do you have concerns about using oils on your already oily skin? I find that using oils can have a slight impact on your skin and the amount of oiliness that there is. I don't like to use oils that don't soak in to the skin so the ones that I've recommended I personally find absorb in to the skin without there being any excess oil, also using a Mattifying moisturiser helps to control shine each day!! I hope that you enjoyed this post and be sure to check back again!! Thanks for reading!!
