Beauty Tips For Body Care
https://imgur.com/a/Q7baiUkThat's all the products I have. Finally found a routine that works for me with The Ordinary, Paula's Choice, La Roche Posay, Cerave, Avene, Bioderma.I am 25F combination mostly oily and congested, hormonal acne around chin/jawline (now slight scarring), sensitive and prone to redness. Working on improving moisture barrier.​AM:First Cleanse: Bioderma Sensibio H2O micellar waterSecond Cleanse: Cerave hydrating cleanser (if needed) or just a rinse with water.Tone/Mist: La Roche Posay serozinc refreshing, noticed a difference in oilyness throughout the day with this also very soothingSerum: Paula's Choice Calm Repairing Serum worth it, amazing ingredients, chock full of ceramides and so hydrating... I believe in investing in a good serum I mix it with 3 drops of Paula's Choice C15 super booster I got the C15 booster for free on an order over £60 when they were re branding the new looks packaging. Vitamin C was a revelation to me, my skin is brighter and it has helped clear some scarring plus good antioxidant boost.Moisturise: Avene Tolerance Emulsion light, hydrating, minimal ingredients, contains squalene, really good under spfSPF: Paula's Choice Calm Mineral Moisturizer spf30 mineral spf is so good on my sensitive and acne-prone skin. I rationalize the price as working it out to £1 a day, buying once a month​PM:Micellar Water: Bioderma Sensibio H2OFirst Cleanse: The Body Shop Chamomile Oil or Balm massaged into face and removed with flannelSecond Cleanse: Cerave Foaming cleanser not drying, loveTone/Mist: Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Pore- Reducing toner I use this in pm because it's kinda greasy, contains niacinamide and opened up a new world of hydrating toners to me Spritz with LRP SerozincSerum: Paula's Choice Calm Repairing SerumMoisturiser: La Roche Posay Toleriane Ultra Overnight contains vitamin a and niacinamide, very hydratingOil: The Ordinary Rosehip Seed Oil​​Every other night: Paula's Choice 2% skin perfecting BHA or the Clear Regular Strength 2% BHA in place of toner. really helped with my texture, oiliness breakouts and blackheads, I started off using the Regular Strength everyday after cleansing. This one is definitely less sheeny looking than the perfecting BHA but I overexfoliated and would never use in the same routine as Vitamin C.Once a week: The Ordinary's AHA/BHA peeling solution or the Pixi Glow tonic.Now and then: The Ordinary niacinamide on especially oily days mixed with moisturiser (never 2 actives in same routine, so not with vitamin C or an exfoliant).The Ordinary borage seed oil as last step in PM if my skin feels dehydrated.La Roche Posay cicaplast baumeb5 fixes everything!​I have kept up this routine consistently for 2 months and it has really improved my skin overall. Redness and inflammation/hormonal acne clearing up​Recently bought The Ordinary's azelaic acid. Hoping to incorporate this in my routine somewhere to help with redness, sensitivity and left over scarring.Any questions or tips welcome with routine.​I must mention that I attribute hormonal acne clearing up to also fixing up my diet and eating at the same times (keeping blood sugar balanced), sleep routine, general hygiene habits (showering once a day, changing pillowcase every night), NOT PICKING OR TOUCHING FACE and taking supplements religiously - (Also pic of supplements after much trial and error, I've found most effective in helping to control and clear my hormonal acne : https://imgur.com/a/LvTzD4w)A good all-in-one multivitamin - hits RDA's of all the key vitamins, including A, D, E, C, B1, B2, B6, B12, Calcium, Iron, Zinc, and Folic Acid -  take one a day. A good high strength probiotic - I've been taking one everyday for around a month now and I actually saw a difference in my skin pretty quickly.Calcium & Magnesium & Zinc - 1000mg Calcium, 400mg Magnesium, 25mg zinc taken daily as 1 tab 3x daily with meals. Magnesium helps to keep hormone levels balanced, keeps the nervous system running smoothly, improves sleep, fights insulin resistance, and is also anti-inflammatory. Calcium is involved in the production of antioxidants that help combat inflammation, aswell as helping with cell renewal. So by taking magnesium with calcium, you have a better chance of improving the absorption and utilisation of this mineral.Omega 3-6-9 - 2000mg of omega 3 as 1000mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 1000mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) taken as 1 tab 3x daily with meals.
