Face it. We all break out due to hormones, stress, sleep deprivation, and bad weather. Online beauty gurus often suggest complex and expensive skin products leaving us all feeling overwhelmed. If you want to have better skin without spending your entire paycheck, then read my recs below.
Cleanser
The first product I use is a kelp and green clay cleanser/scrub. This will wash off toxins, makeup, and any natural residue on your face. Use it in the morning and night. It's $9.99 and can be found in Ulta, Amazon, and Target. Sea kelp helps to retain skin moisture, while green clay tightens pores to prevent further acne breakouts and exfoliates away dead skin.
Serum
Next, use a serum to help even out your complexion and prevent signs of aging through vitamin C. The addition of Vit C helps to get rid of facial toxins such as free radicals (a chemical imbalance that increases aging). This serum $21.99 on Amazon, and it does help to smoothen out your skin after scrubbing it. After using this, my skin feels as soft as butter.
Moisturizer
My last step is either Acure's Brightening Facial Scrub's Night or Day Cream moisturizer, depending on when you're putting it on. Moisturizer helps retain all the products for better absorption and prevents dry skin. Both these are around $26.00 on Amazon.
This entire regime is around $50, and definitely worth the time and effort. Drink water, sleep, and have flawless skin. Remember to take time out for self-care.
