My Daily Skincare Routine!

If you're anything like me and have the burden of spotty, blemished and dry skin then you will know the pain of trying to find a skin routine that suits YOU. Thankfully after 7 years of fighting off spots with every spot cream, cleanser and medication you could think of, I have eventually found a skin routine that suits my skin and hopefully some of you too! 

HOORAY!!!

So over the years of trailing different skincare treatments, I found that I cant use products with oil in... GREAT!! 

My Auntie also suffers with spots like myself and she recommended the Clinique range of Anti-blemish solutions to me! I had a look at reviews and nearly all of them seemed positive and I thought, why not give it a go? The package is quite expensive and it contains 3 products: the Cleansing Foam, Clarifying Solution and the Cleansing Moisturiser. To start I bought the anti-blemish travel pack as a cheaper alternative to buying the real thing incase it didn't work for me, this travel pack lasted me 3 months. 

It took about 1 month for me to notice a real difference with my skin, but I find that patience is the best policy when it comes to spots and skincare routines! You might not think its working but it is!

Your skin only gets worse before it gets better. 

The products didn't make my skin dry like others have in the past when I have used them every day, I found my skin felt very refreshed and clean all day. I now haven't had a break out in 2 months and I have been using the products since May 2014 so it really has been working for me!  

STEP 1 

Wash face with warm water, shake the Anti-blemish Cleansing Foam and pump into hand 2 times, rub gently into your face in circular motions and rinse off thoroughly with warm water. Pat face dry with a towel and proceed to step 2.

STEP 2

Take a cotton pad and add a couple of drops of the Sea Breeze Astringent for Sensitive Skin. Rub this gently in circular motions all over your face and neck. 

STEP 3

Take another cotton pad and add some of the Anti-blemish Clarifying Lotion, apply gently all over the face in circular motions. I apply this on top of the Sea Breeze Cleanser. 

STEP 4

Finally, wait for the cleansers to dry fully on your face, then take the Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturiser and apply a small amount all over your face. 

The Clinique Anti-blemish solutions does come with a moisturiser, the moisturiser is also really good but I find that the Clean & Clear is a much cheaper alternative that works just as well and you can buy it at most drug stores and supermarkets. 

And that is my daily skin routine! 

Yes it can be a pain to stick to every night but just think how much better your skin will be if you stick it out! 

Clinique do a whole range of different solutions for different skin types so it's worth having a look at their products to see which will suit you better! (they also do foundation for each range which is AMAZING)
