My Summer Skin Care Routine

READ ME!!

Makeup i'm wearing in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7qDWgk1PdA

I have an oily skin type that is not too sensitive. Products that work on me may not work on everyone. For example, the bio oil was not moisturizing enough for me in the winter but I still have oily to oily/combination skin in the fall/winter.

Many factors can account for acne, dull skin, etc. such as hormones, your diet, sleep habits, weather conditions, your skin type, your skin regimen, use of products that may not agree with your skin. Overdrying the skin will stimulate your oil glands and can further make you break out. DO moisturize! It's just a matter of finding the right one for your skin type.

Personally for myself less is more. Try to not use any face washes that make your skin feel too tight and dry but if you do make sure to moisturize your skin really well! It is pretty much a balancing act to maintain your skin's moisture.

If you are wondering why my skin is glowing? Let's get more personal now. Usually before my period starts up until about the third to fourth day of my period, my skin is clearer and brighter. I still do get spots but somehow my complexion just looks better. While this was filmed this was on the second day of my period. After my period ends, I find that this is when I start getting a few more spots here and there.

Last but not least, I do NOT have flawless or perfect skin. There are times where my skin will look better due to hormones but overall I have enlarged and clogged pores leading to many many blackheads since I have oily skin. I used to get more acne and such around my jaw and chin due to hormones but I think this may have decreased over the years.

Here are the products mentioned in the video:

Night time routine:
-Target brand Up & Up eye makeup remover
-Walgreens brand Cleansing & Make-up Removing Towelettes
-Aveeno Positively Radiant Makeup Removing Cleanser
-Bio-Oil

Daytime routine:
-Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control
-Bio-Oil
-Shiseido Extra Smooth Sun Protection Cream spf36 PA+++

Once to twice a week:
-St. Ives Apricot Scrub Blemish & Blackhead Control

Don't forget to drink lots of water and try to have a healthier diet and lifestyle!

Hah! Bio-Oil is completely safe. It's basically mineral oil - NOT scientifically proven to be comedogenic - with some fragrance, sparse floral extract, and a few other ingredients to keep it all together and infection-free. It's not usually used as a moisturizer, but if you have hyper-pigmentation issues, it's actually perfect. This is recommended by DOCTORS.

Thumbs up for doing your homework and taking some chem classes?

You're either have perfect skin, or you're an amazing make-up artist.

@Acnehon23 That's great! I was doubting at first too but when I started using it, my face was acne free now and blackheads were starting to disappear.. If you may ask, the site is StopAcneToday.Info.. I never look this good before.. :)

Can you show me how to do that hairstyle because I like my hair out of my face and I don't want to always have to tie my hair up. Thanks! :)

castor oil or liquid lanolin oil is better they actually sink into the skin and CONDITION the skin not just moisutrize. You just need a few drops, I've used it since I have the same prob of shiny, oily face.

We actually have DRY skin
