Skin Care for the Winter (Drugstore)

Its December 4 and winter is finally here. Which means winter break, Christmas,New Year and of course winter skin problems.

I don't even know how long I have been struggling with acne but after changing up my routine and using DIY scrubs, my face has gotten so much better. Read to find out about my holy grail that I swear by that works for acne prone skin like me.

The Routine:

I first start with a Garnier Skin Active Clean+ Blackhead Eliminating Scrub. This is perfect especially if you have a sensitive skin since it doesn't irritate it. I put a small amount and evenly distribute all over my skin. Then scrub it using circular motion.

After the scrub, I wash my face with Clean n Clear Acne Triple Clear Cleanser. It has aloe vera and mint so its perfect to clear pores, gets rid of acne and prevents new acne from starting.

If you are struggling with acne

marks then,

Bio Oil is perfect

for you. It fades acne mark,

help with uneven skin tone

and if you have dry skin it

helps with moisturizing.

Because I have oily skin, heavy oil such as coconut oil, olive oil, Castor oil does not work for me. Instead, they block my pores and causes my skin to have more breakout. One that works for my skin so well is peppermint oil. It does wonders to my skin. Peppermint oil has many uses such as it doesn't block your skin pores, moisturize your skin and helps reduce acne inflammation.

DIY Scrub:

After experiments with different DIY face scrub, I finally found one that work perfectly and Its all natural so that's a plus.

1 tablespoon of Coffee grind

1 teaspoon of honey

1 teaspoon of olive

First start with your coffee grind. Put that in a small container and then add the honey. Lastly, add the olive oil and mix it all together. Apply that to your face in circular motion but not too harshly .Be carful and don't get it in your eyes. Apply the face scrub once a week and you should see the results in few weeks. Then wash your face with just the Clean and Clear Triple Acne Cleanser and moisturize with peppermint oil if you have oily skin, but if you have dry skin use coconut oil.
