This Daily Routine Totally Cured My Acne-Prone Skin — Every Single Product Is From Amazon

I used to break out all the time and be super self-conscience about it before I talked to my dermatologist about how to manage it. Because, for some, acne won't go away with all-natural minimalistic products.

Here are some tips I've learned, steps I've taken, and the products (all on Amazon) I use that have changed my skincare game completely. It may seem like a lot, but the results are worth the hassle - especially for those of us who actually do need a lot of skincare products.

Morning Routine:

1. Wash with benzoyl peroxide face wash and facial cleansing brush

2. Rinse with lukewarm water with a soft, white washcloth (benzoyl peroxide will bleach over time)

3. Cleanse and tone with two homemade essential oil toners with cotton pads

- First mixture: 1/2 water, 1/2 witch hazel, and 7-10 drops of tea tree oil

- Second mixture: 1/2 water, 1/2 witch hazel, 5 drops of lavender oil, and 5 drops of helichrysum oil

4. Apply a light layer of hyaluronic acid hydrating moisturizer (dermatologist-approved/recommended)

Night Routine:

If wearing makeup, start here:

1. Remove eye makeup with oil-free eye makeup remover using cotton pads

2. Remove face makeup with micellar water using cotton pads

If not wearing makeup start here:

3. Cleanse face with stubborn acne control Clearasil pads

4. Wash with benzoyl peroxide face wash (no facial cleansing brush)

5. Rinse with lukewarm water and white washcloth

6. Cleanse and tone with both toners

7. Apply a light layer of glycolic acid acne serum

8. Add two drops of maracuja oil every other night around eyes and mouth

As-Needed Face Masks:

Indian Healing Clay Mask

- Good for cystic acne and deep pore cleansing

Mint Julep Masque

- Draws out impurities

Tea Tree Oil Clay Mask

- Absorbs excess oil

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
