I've spent my career working with people with skin care issues and working with my own skin care issues. But, the most common request I get, whether from patients, friends, family, even strangers is…
What skincare routine did you use when you were struggling with acne?
So… Here it is!- First, the Pore Purifying Cleanser. This is the base for everything I do. This will help control, remove dirt, oil and makeup without any dryness or irritation. You just apply 1-2 pumps to damp skin and rinse with warm water.
- If I ever get a real trouble spot popping up, the Purifying Spot Gel is a clinically proven spot treatment that rapidly targets stubborn acne blemishes on the face and body. It penetrates the pores to control blemishes and prevent any new ones from popping up. Dab a thin layer on the affected area after you’ve cleaned it.
- Once my skin was dry, I would apply the Lytic Tx. It helps clear out the pores, smooth skin texture and promote cell turnover. I like it b/c it is a natural alternative to retin-A but it doesn’t dry out the skin.
- Then after 5 minutes I follow with the Renewal Facial Lotion. It's a multi-faceted hydrator designed to penetrate the skin layers, rather than sit on top of the skin like other products. It nourishes the skin barrier, provides a daily dose of hydration, and fights signs of aging at the same time. I love how it helps my skin to look healthy and radiant. I still use it to this day!
- Lastly, no skincare routine is complete without sunscreen. You definitely want to get some Daily Shield Tinted Sunscreen. Light, quick-absorbing formula offers daily broad-spectrum protection against damaging UVA/UVB rays from the sun. The antioxidant-rich, cosmetically elegant formula blends flawlessly under makeup without leaving a white residue on the skin. Water-resistant properties make it ideal for more active, outdoor lifestyles. Best of all, it’s suitable for all skin types.
