Hi!!
I hope you are all doing well and welcome back to my blog.
Today we are going to be talking about skincare. My skin the last few year has been acting up, breaking out, leaving me frustrated and confused about what I am supposed to do to make it better and considering that I have combination skin type it's even more difficult to find the right products. After trying multiple skincare products, breaking out , clearing my skin and then again breaking out, I am here to tell you that the journey to clear skin is a marathon and not a sprint. So many variant factors contribute to our skin health, thus a skincare product by itself it's not gonna do miracles, but with a healthy diet, excercising and emotional peace you may see difference in a matter of weeks or even days. With that being said, here is my morning skincare routine for keeping acne at bay. I always make sure to have my favourite product in stock so I never run out and I order them from attica, The Department Store as they have everything I need and the delivery is within 1-3 working days.
First step is cleansing. Sometimes when my skin feels dry and sensitive or flaring up, I skip the cleanser and I only use lukewarm water in order to avoid further irritation that leads to more break outs. On days when my skin is doing better I use this SA cleanser from Cerave. It contains Salysilic Acid, a key ingredient for clear skin as it is a mild exfoliator factor that helps to remove dirt that has beem built up during the night so that the skin remains clean and free from irritants.
After cleansing comes hydration. I switch between these two moistrisers that are very simple and hydrate my skin without making it feel greesy or oil during the day. This Avene cream for irritated skin does wonders for my skin as well as the all time classic Moistrusing lotion from Cerave. My skincare game leveled up when I introduced these products to my routines.
The last but definately the most important step to any skincare routine, is sun protection. As a pharmacist I always state to my clients that sun protection is essential to protect skin from the sun, avoid premature aging and avoid skin cancer, a very serius desease that is also very difficult to treat and cure. With that beeing said, I have tried the majority of drugstore sunscreens. The one that I currently use is the SUN SCREEN COLOR VELVET FACE SPF50+ by Frezyderm and I am here to tell you that this sunscreen is a well kept secret between greek women. The majority of women in Greece have tried this one product and use it every single day as it provides sun protetion and a little bit of color, plus it feels like velvet on your skin. I can talk hours about the product as it can be used as a foundation during the day and you can wear the rests of your makeup on top of that without any problem. But you have to be carefull when you apply it so it looks even from your face down to the neck.
Another product that I really like is the PHOTO AGEING PROTECTION SPF30 by Radiant. I mostly use it in the winter months when I do not sweat and it stays all day long.
So! That's it for today. Please tell me your morning skincare routine in the comment section or any other thoughts about skincare as I love talking about products and ways to take care of our skin!
