Oh Acne!

Stuck. Been at 54kg for the past two weeks. Go down already.

I won’t make this an empty post I guess. Below is my current skincare regimen that I’ve been using since June 2014.

I still have acne. Have-- present tense. That’s going on 15 years now. My skin has parts of the month it gets better, last week my period came a week and a half late again after only 3 months of being regular…and the hormones wrecked havoc on my skin.

Morning:

1) Wash with lukewarm water and Neutrogena Oil - free Acne Wash (2% salicylic acid). I’ve been using the Neutrogena cream version in the green tube up until last week, and have also used the gel version of the green acne wash in the past few months as well. Testing out the original version now.

2) Apply Up & Up 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide spot treatment on active lesions. Sometimes I get to skip this step.

3) Apply Pure Body Naturals 20% Vitamin C serum (with hyaluronic acid and ferulic acid). I actually just started using this two days ago, but I’ve been using Oz Naturals Vitamin C serum since August 2014.

4) Moisturize with Cerave Moisturizing Cream.

5) End with Olay Complete SPF 15 moisturizer as a sunscreen.

I've graduated.

But now I'm a "young professional".

Acne still a big problem for me.

Still dealing with issues at home and in life.

Please feel free to message me questions about skincare related to acne!

My responses may come slow but I will respond to each and every one of you!

Hi followers,

I anticipate a rough and busy year for me, with this being my last year of graduate school and all. Between that, working 30+ hours a week (I'm a nurse!) and dealing with family issues that are bound to come up, I will likely never be able to update this blog like I wanted to.

I’m always available for questions about products, reviews, skincare and acne. I’ll be more than happy to listen to your story and offer you my own experience and what I’ve learned (and am still learning as I continue to battle my adult acne).

So ask/message away!
