Hi everyone! This post is a long time coming! Today I want to share about my current skincare and the products I am using. A little about my skin: I have acne prone skin and have been on birth control for the past 6 years to control my adult acne. I haven’t been off the pill since, so I’m not sure if my skin would still breakout. But I will get hormonal acne around that time of month. Because of this , I make sure to only use products that are acne friendly and don’t make me break out.
This post is not sponsored, but I do have some long standing discount codes listed below that you can use! 🙂
Step One: Cleanse
TULA Purifying Face Cleanser// Coco Fresh Face Foam
I have 3 different cleansers that I love, but will just use one at a time.
1.TULA Purifying Cleanser (code “JACLYN20” for 20% off)- Been using this for about a year now- and its great! Don’t have any breakouts and works well with the other TULA products.
2.Hello Body Coco Fresh Face Foam (code “jaclyn30” for 30% off)- I first discovered this when I was going a collaboration with Hello Body and I actually loved it. I keep this in my shower and use it on my face when I shower. It smells amazing and actually helps remove makeup and mascara!!
3.Clinique Acne clearing foam (not pictured)- this stuff is also amazing for acne prone skin. I only stopped using it because I have a lot of the Tula cleanser that I am trying to use up. But this is a great cleanser!!
Step Two: Gels and Serums
From Left to right
Pro Gycolic Resurfacing Gel// Aqua Infusion Power Liquid // Illuminating Serum // Oil Free Gel Cream // Repairwear Laser focus
I will use a different combination of these after I cleanse at night, depending on how I feel. At night I will use multiple products, but during the day I maybe use one of these and then my moisturizer.
1.Pro Gycolic Resurfacing Gel– I use this right after I cleanse as a toner and to lightly exfoliate the skin and get it ready for the other gels and serums
2.Illuminating Serum (code “JACLYN20” for 20% off)- this stuff is awesome and helps brighten skin- I really like how light it is and feels smooth.
3. Aqua Infusion Power liquid + Aqua Infusion oil free Gel cream (code “JACLYN20” for 20% off)- I use these together for extra hydration that is super lightweight on my skin.
4.Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus– this is pricey, but awesome! Even if you only use this at night followed by a moisturizer, you will wake up and totally notice a difference in your skin! I can’t recommend this product enough! It is amazing!
Step Three: Moisturizer/Night Cream
Tula Day and Night Cream// Glytone Night Renewal Cream
1.TULA Day and Night Cream (code “JACLYN20” for 20% off)- Great lightweight cream. Only downside is that there is no SPF, but it is super lightweight and I use it during the day and night.
2. Glytone Night Renewal Cream– Great to prevent aging and hyperpigmentation of skin. when you first apply it, you can feel kinda of a tingling sensation, but overall, I like how my skin looks in the morning after using this. Good alternative if your skin in sensitive to retinoids.
Extra Products I will use occasionally or 2-3 times per week
Face Oil:
1. I heard that face oils were really good for your face, and although it seems weird to put oils on acne prone skin, it actually doesn’t make you break out and helps hydrate skin! I love this French Girl Oil Elixir. It does have a herbal smell, so if you don’t like that, I would stay away from this one. I will often apply this as “step 4” before I go to bed. I don’t put it on during the day unless I am staying home and going makeup free.
Exfoliants
Super Defense Exfoliant // TULA Exfoliating Mask
1.Dermalogica Super Defense: I keep this in my shower and will apply it, let it sit, and rinse off. Has a charcoal base and I love how clean and smooth my skin feels after. They also say it helps clean off the pollution we daily come in contact with.
2.TULA exfoliating mask (code “JACLYN20” for 20% off): This is a mask that you put on your face, let it sit for 15 minutes and wash off. This is probably my favorite mask. My skin feels so clear and cool. Defintiely recommend!
Acne Prevention
Breakout Clearing Booster// Blackhead fizz mask// Acne Clearing Gel
1.Blackhead Clearing Fizz Mask– Ok this is such a fun product, and I love the results. I also keep this in my shower and use it a couple times a week. After you apply the serum, it fizzes and bubbles all over your face! Its such a cool sensation and I notice my pores smaller and I’m not developing new blackheads.
2.Breakout Clearing Booster– I will use this as a spot treatment if I have a breakout, or sometimes apply to a larger area if I feel I will have a breakout. It works well to help clear breakout spots.
3.TULA Acne Clearing Gel– After I cleanse and tone, I will use this as a light layer under my gels and creams before I go to bed.
PS- If you are interested in TULA, here are a few starter sets that are great to try first. And use code “JACLYN20” for 20%off!
