Acne Struggles

I'm not happy. I don't want acne to define me or lower my confidence, but sadly it has. I'm still trying to be positive and not think about my face too much. Maybe I will grow out of it or maybe it will continue. I have wasted a lot of money on acne products/ skincare products and I don't want to waste anymore. Before buying products, I research, but still that doesn't mean that they are going to work on me. Maybe my product reviews can help you.

 I'm also trying to eat healthier. It's difficult, because I don't eat a lot of things I should be eating. Also I've been drinking a lot of water and green tea.

 I had one goal this summer, and that was to get clearer skin, so hopefully I'd be more confident in school. Sadly it only got worse, so I started wearing foundation to school. I am trying not to care what other people think about my face or maybe they don't care about it at all, but I care about my face and am kinda insecure about it.

 I know that a lot of people have problems with acne, especially teenagers. So I'm not the only one and I shouldn't be that ashamed about it, but I wish sometimes that I was invisible.

 It's just rough. Watching what you eat, face itching or being tight, trying to find good face cleansers, moisturizers and treatments, finding a big pimple on your face which is impossible to cover up and people wanting to touch your face, like why? Just DO NOT TOUCH MY FACE. Or people saying pop that pimple, like NO!! It can make it worse and leave a scar behind.

 I visited a dermatologist once. She recommended me Eau Thermale Avene Cleanance Cleansing Gel, Basiron (benzoyl peroxide) and Skinoren (acidum azelaicum). At first they worked fine, I had clearer skin. But in this spring my face was getting worse again, so I started to seek out other products. I have been testing different facial washes, but I think I'm gonna try Avene again. I haven't really tested other treatments, because I don't know any and a lot of them don't work. I have one product that I really want to try (Avene Cleanance Expert), but it's kinda pricier and I know that my parents hate it when I talk about new products or buy them, so I'm kinda trying to get that product on my own.

 Do you have the same problems or some great products?

pHformula A.C. Recovery and P.O.S.T Recovery Cream - Review

Image
So I went to a cosmetologist for the first time in my life to seek help with my acne struggles and well facials alone don't fix the issue. She gave me these two products by a brand called pHformula. This brand's products can only be bought from a professional, who has a license to do their treatments and sell their products. Which means that these products are to support the skin after the treatments and between facials. As my cosmetologist said, the skincare regimen at home is a lot more important than facials, so if you can't afford facial treatments regularly, then invest in your skincare routine. A.C. Recovery is like a treament type of serum. It costs about 61€ and contains tons of acne-fighting ingredients including mandelic acid, niacinamide and salicylic acid. This special formula should help renew and support the skin while recovering. I have been applying this twice a day, at night I pump a tiny pea-sized amount for my entire face and in the morning I jus

Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF50+ Dry Touch - Review

Image
With long-awaited summer approaching, I thought it's only appropriate to write about sun protection. Sun is still extremely harmful for your skin, in case you forgot, and applying SPF daily is recommended for a reason. So if you don't want to look 20 years older in the next 10 years with wrinkles and dark spots, I'd suggest you get on it asap. I religiously apply SPF, so using one that is great for my acne-prone oily skin is of high importance. Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 50+ Dry Touch  I always opt for and suggest buying SPF from a pharmacy, because most of the products sold are high quality and sensitive enough that they shouldn't cause any issues. This time I decided to try the Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF50+ Dry Touch. This sunscreen is also supposed to be water-resistant, colourant-free, hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. The formula is enriched with soothing active ingredients and antioxidants (like vitamin E), so your skin should be happy. T

DMK Danne Alkaline Wash for acne scars- MY EXPERIENCE

Went to my regular facial treatment when my cosmetologist turned to me and said "What if we try alkaline wash for your acne scars?". Since my skin has been doing so much better lately and I didn't really have any active acne, so why not try something for my scarring. However this alkaline wash isn't exactly a relaxing treatment. It's gonna take about two weeks for my skin to fully heal, because this alkaline will cause burning sensation and sensitivity. She warned me that I might have to get blisters just like when you burn your skin. So it wasn't the most tempting offer, but I have many acne scars, so might as well try and get rid of them. Also right now is the best time for me as I can stay at home and not show my face. At first I couldn't really tell anything when she applied the alkaline, but later when she moisturized my face, ouch that was painful. For the rest of the day my face was a little tight and slightly red, but nothing too drastic. Few areas
