Happy Wednesday y’all! I posted on my Instagram stories the other night some of my current faves from my nightly skincare routine and I got some questions regarding what I was using, so I figured today I would round up my top five favorite skincare items currently! I typically have sensitive, acne prone skin and more so recently I’ve been having worse breakouts than usual because it’s been so hot outside and I’ve been sleeping in my makeup way too often. A few of the greatest things I’ve discovered since working in beauty is a good face mask on a Sunday/Monday, and easy cleansing wipes that you can use periodically throughout the day. I typically use four different cleansing pads from ARCONA, one of the accounts I’m on, and use Triad Pads or The Solution Pads in the morning, followed by either the Raspberry Clarifying Pads or Tabula Rasa Pads afterwards to fight acne. I have some of these at my desk too, so if I get too gross walking to work I can just pop one out and wipe my face. See below for my top 5, what are some of your favorite skincare products? Have a great day and thanks for reading!
1. Skinceuticals Blemish + Age Defense. I’ve been using Skinceuticals ever since I was in high school, and the Blemish + Age Defense is a true lifesaver. It has Salicylic Acid to fight break outs, and you can definitely feel the burn working once it’s applied. I use about three drops on a cotton pad before bed, and again in the morning if I’m experiencing bad breakouts. This is also perfect for your shoulders/chest too, since it fights harder than most acne treatments I own.
2. ARCONA Tabula Rasa Pads. These pads have become a recent obsession of mine. They have Lactic Acid in them, and are great for spot treatments and targeting acne prone areas. I usually wake up and use one immediately, and these are the ones that I keep in my desk incase I get too sweaty on the way to work and don’t want break outs to pop up. They also reduce pore size which is a major plus!
3. Mary Kay Clearproof Charcoal Mask. This thing is a lifesaver y’all. It’s a charcoal mask that you leave on for about 20 minutes, and it leaves my skin feeling so insanely soft! There’s rosemary and peppermint extract, so it smells better than the normal charcoal mask and I swear my skin is clearer after one use. Another plus is that it doesn’t cause breakouts after I use it like most charcoal masks do (since they’re usually bringing dirt to the surface).
4. ARCONA Raspberry Clarifying Pads. These are truly my favorite from ARCONA. They have Salicylic Acid and raspberry extract that helps clear and exfoliate the skin. These can definitely burn once applying, but in a way that you know they are working! Since they’re technically toner pads I usually use the Tabula Rasa ones afterwards for added strength.
5. NeoCutis Bio-Cream. This is definitely a pricier product, but so worth it. It improves skins firmness, elasticity, and brightness all while reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Something you can never start worrying about too soon! It’s perfect if your skin is on the sensitive side like mine is, and since it’s a moisturizer I usually like to use it last in the evening.
