This is a question I hear a lot. We are so bombarded by choices and marketing that we aren’t sure what we should actually be using. I’ll try to sum it up as best as I can to take the confusion away.
Oily or Breakout Prone- Simplify your routine, sometimes breakout can just be caused by inflammation from product overload.
– Foaming cleanser am and pm
– Toner like Aqua Glycolic or Burts Bees Garden Tomato
– 1 skin normalizing product from your Dr like a retinol or a BenzaClin
– Oil free hydrator, something lightweight while still moisturizing and protesting skin from potential dryness caused by treatment products.
– Exfoliator, nothing too harsh to exacerbate breakouts, Dermalogica Daily Mocrofoliant or Decleor’s Phytopeelwhich doesn’t contain exfoliating granules but still manages to deep clean skin and sweep away impurities leaving behind glowing skin.
