First Post-My Skincare Routine

Hi everyone,

This is my first post, so I'm going to make it about something basic...skin care.
I had been using Mario Bedusco products for a while. They are nice because they are completely organic and chemical free but my skin started being difficult, sensitive, and breaking out a lot. I have switched to Clinique, my skin has cleared up really well. I use these products:

First, you need to remove your makeup because the Liquid Facial Soap is not a makeup remover. I like Neutrogena Makeup-Remover Towelettes...you don't have to rinse them, they smell nice, and they are great for removing makeup-it comes off so easily! They cost about $7.00 at most drug stores, although price varies.


Clinique 3-Step System (I am a 2 in the Clarifying Lotion). I bought mine in a set for $37.00; Sephora has a cheaper, smaller introductory set for $15.00 if you are interested in trying it but don't want to spend much money. Step 1: Liquid Facial Soap Mild. Step 2: Swipe the Clarifying Lotion on your face with a cotton round/ball. It may tingle a little. Step 3: Apply lotion.


Instead of using the dramatically different lotion, I use this oil free one, and then on days when my skin feels particularly dry, I use the dramatically different lotion. The oil free moisturizer is $16.50, comes in a 1.7oz tube.


After the lotion, I apply the Acne Solutions Post Blemish Formula, $13.50. I'm actually not sure how I feel about this yet. It's supposed to help redness/scarring/hyperpigmentation go away...my skin takes a really long time to heal. I can't really tell if it has made a difference or if it is just the overall change in my skin regimen.




I do all of these steps twice daily.

Once a week on Sundays, I use the 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula, $18.00, before I go to bed. Then I apply the Dramatically Different lotion, as it tends to make my skin dry. I received two samples of the 7 Day, I really like it and will probably buy it when the samples are gone.
All of the Clinique products are hypo allergenic and 100% Fragrance Free, although the Clarifying Lotion does smell strongly of alcohol.
Thanks for reading, I think I will do a review on some free Clinique products I got last time I bought skin stuff.
XOXO,
Amber
