Want radiant skin? Are you having trouble with acne.... It stops here

Healthy skin starts with a consistent skincare regimen. I have some favorites when it omes to comercial skincare products, but personally, I believe some of the most effective solutions to obtaining a clear radiant complexion is in your kitchen. In this install, I will be featuring some commercial products that are my staples. Next week, I will be featuring homemade solutions to gorgeous radiant skin. Let's proceed...


My regimen:
- wash face 1x in the morning
- wash face 1x in the evening before bed
- exfoliate as needed (usually 1-2x per week)
- deep clean as needed using a mud/clay based mask

Note: I recommend always exfoliating during your nighttime wash rather than your daytime wash, as exfoliation removes surface skin layers and can make your skin more vulnerable to sundamage.


Products that I love for face care:

1. Kiehl's facial fuel 
(yes I know it is a mens product but it works amazing for women as well and doesn't have a manly scent)
- This scrub is on the rougher side, which I completely prefer. However, if you are not one who likes abrasiveness, dont use this. If you want some big time exfoliation and a brand new feeling, Kiehls facial fuel is definitely worth trying. love love love this! I am rapidly depleting my boyfriends stash of this one.

2. St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub

St. Ives Blemish and Blackhead control scrub is awesome for removing blackheads. Also this scrub has salacilic acid which is a medication proven to fight acne. 

3. Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask. 
- This mask feels sooo refreshing on the skin, and it really cleans your poors well. I would recommend using this at least once a week. I sometimes use it 2 or 3 times per week.
