Hello all..
This blog is going to be a bit unsual compared to some of the others I have put up!
Disclaimer: I'm not advertising for Clinque or any other brands mentioned in this blog.
Well I just have to say my skin has been terrible..and yes that is most probably due to moi. From not drinking enough water, to picking at spots (so not a good idea!!), and maybe having a few sly nights where I've slept with my make up on :O (worst thing ever for you skin). As well as this I started getting breakouts from the age of about 8 and ever since (I'm now 22 :/ ).
I have tried everything from high street brands (clean & clear, simple, neutragena) to Dermolgica to medicine given by the doctors..literally I have tried it all! Some products did manage to help my skin out to a certain degree..but there were always limits. The product may help clear up a spot or two but then it would dry my skin out or the ingredients in some of them were so strong, that would lead to even more breakouts and cause bad reactions.
Then I finally gave up and just really didn't care for a while; so there I was covering it all up with a heck load of makeup! Thinking maybe..just maybe..this would cover it up..when in fact it did the opposite..it just made it worse.
Coming up to my 22nd birthday, it all changed, I decided for once and for all this had to change. I was fed up of seeing my scarring from spots, having oily skin and that tight sensation (i.e combo skin). I just wanted to experience some balance again not just for my pyhsical appearence but for my own confidence too.
This change all started off with a little something called the 3 step routine from Clinque, they discussed my skin type, and figured that I had very dry combanation to dry skin. They helped my pick my cleanser, toner moisturser that I should be using and explained very clearly on how I should use these products.
Boy oh boy! I have been using them for a little over 3 months now..and the results are amazing..hardly get anymore icky oily t-zone (Hurruh!! :D), my skin feels alot more fresh now and a lot more comfortable!
Don't get me wrong though I still get the odd breakout here and there! My scars are slightly fading away now. However I still needed to be kind to my skin such as taking my makeup off at night, trying not to pick or pop spots and drinking at least 1.5ltrs of water a day.
The only downside to the Clinique set is that they are a little bit on the dear side (especially since being a student and all) but the amount you get can last you a while if used wisely.
Try it out and give it go if you really want to try something that could be good for your skin :D
I just want to say this was my experience and it differs for everyone, as we all react to different products and all have different skin types. The main thing is try to be kind to your skin, keep well hydrated, take makeup off at night & your skin will <3 you back :D
Thank you for reading,
Lou
