Hey everyone! Welcome to a little personal post about what I use for my day/night skin care routine. These are all products you can find in any drug store or Walmart or Target and all under $12. These are all approved by me and I use them every single day consistently. Here we go!

What are the products in my routine and how do I use them?

1. Oil-Free Acne Stress Control by Neutrogena

I have been using this product for a very long time. About two years. When used properly, it is very successful on my skin.

The face wash is a “power-cream” wash that uses “micro-clear technology” to “treat acne even before it emerges”. The product is a creamy mint green but when rubbed onto the skin it becomes clear. It costs about $6-7. It is usually that price but varies to which store you go to. The product contains 6 fl. oz. ad contains 2% Salicylic Acid.

What I like about this product is that when I use it, usually acne that I currently have or that is slowly growing goes away and it takes the redness away. It says that it is for all skin types but I don’t recommend it for people with sensitive skin. It doesn’t use harsh ingredients but it does have a powerful impact on your skin once all mixed together.

The way I use it is I first wash my hands with soap then after I use water and lightly dampen my face. Then with my hands still wet, I put the product onto my skin and I rub it all over my face for about 20 seconds making sure that I tackle every single inch of skin on my face. Then, I wash all the product off of my skin with cold water.

2. Witch Hazel Facial Toner by Thayers

This is literal stuff from the gods. And by that I mean one of the most important steps in my routine.

Toner is supposed to clean your face, tighten your pores, and tackle acne that you have. Sometimes when people wash their face, they don’t wash it correctly so that is why toner is very beneficial because it takes off dirt and oil that was left over. Then it targets acne and reduces it and its redness.

Thayers is a popular, kind of luxury, brand among skin care products because it is kind of expensive. It costs $10 per bottle. But it does contain 12 fl. oz. which is a lot of product. You can make it last if you use it properly.

The way I use it is I take a cotton ball and I apply enough that would cover my face. Just enough and not over because too much toner can make your skin sensitive or burn.

This is a product I just started using in about December 2019 but has made my skin look amazing. You can go to my previous posts and look at my skin and judge for yourself.

3. Moisturizer

Moisturizer is very important is well because this keeps your skin hydrated. Its main purpose is to keep skin replenished, feeling soft, and protected by sunlight.

Moisturizing Lotion by Cetaphil is for the body and face and meant for all skin types. It says it provides 24 hour lightweight hydration. It contains 6 moisturizers + Vitamins E & B5. It also says that dermatologist recommended.

The price is $10 as well which isn’t bad because the product contains 16 fl. oz. I just started using this product in January 2020 and it has made a difference on my face. I put it on after the toner on my face and apply an amount to cover my entire face.

4. Neosporin

This isn’t a step I always use but is sometimes necessary.

Neosporin is a first aid ointment that is used on cuts or any minor injuries. The product contains 1 fl. oz. and costs about $6-10 in stores. Depends on where you buy it.

But the reason I use this last sometimes is because it literally gets rid of scars. Sometimes I pop pimples and they leave nasty scars but if I apply this right after and I keep applying it to the spots every morning and night. This step is only necessary when I have a bleeding pimple.

Thank you for reading along and I hope you learned something about me and skin care products!
