I am aware that people have acne a lot worse than I do, but for never having acne, this is a lot for me.
I go to school and work 6 days a week so it is hard for me to just let my skin breathe for a chance. Whenever I do get a chance (days off) I take advantage of it though. I DO NOT WEAR AN OUNCE OF MAKEUP ON THESE DAYS.
My makeup is usually on from 8 in the morning and comes off around 9 that night.
I religiously wash my face every morning and night. Even if I end up sleeping at a friends house, I will at least take a makeup wipe to this face!!!
The products listed below are what I enjoy using. I have dry/normal skin. I do not use all the products everyday, but I will explain when and how i use each product.
And just an FYI, I am currently on the hunt for a great eye cream. I am still trying some out, some I don't want to recommend something that I don't know if it works yet. I will keep y'all updated though!!
That being said, all of the products listed below are my recommendations for anyone with dry/normal skin!! (:
enjoy!!!
makeup remover wipes
| Yes To Cucumbers Soothing Makeup Remover Wipes $9 |
My hunt for my favorite makeup remover wipes has finally come to an end because these have taken the prize for the best in my opinion!! I actually got these randomly because I was at a friends and didn't have any so I purchased the travel size and ulta.... went by the big pack and walgreens that night by the way lol. They are so gentle but really remove almost all of my face makeup!! They smell just like cucumber so the scent is very refreshing. They aren't too dry and they aren't too wet! They are PERFECT!! One sheet takes off all of my face makeup.
waterproof eye makeup remover
 |
| Maybelline Clean Express Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover $5 |
I am a faithful waterproof mascara user because of my terrible incredibly short, straight eyelashes! I picked this up and it works fine. The only thing that I stress is that you must shake this product because you use it. As you should know, oil sits ontop of water, and this product has oil. So, first, shake and then put on a cotton ball and then take off your makeup. If you do not shake first, it will now work. To be honest, this product works, but its nothing special. If you are already using something and you like it, there is no need to run out and get this, lol. It gets the job done, but its nothing spectacular! Good product though!
face wash
 |
| clean & clear continuous control $5 |
I wash my face with this face wash every morning and every night! I absolutely love this face wash!! When I leave the bathroom after washing my face, I can instantly feel a cooling sensation that makes me feel like my skin is finally breathing!!! BEST FEELING EVER (my girls who wear makeup know what I'm talking about!!) I have been using this for MONTHS now; already on my 3 bottle. I even tried to try another face wash and just couldn't do it. I went repurchase this one!! All Around great face wash.
exfoliator
 |
| st. ives apricot scrub $4 |
I normally exfolaite every other night. It is very good to exfoliate because it takes away all of the dry skin and built up dirt and oil that is clogging your pores. But, if you over exfoliate, this could possibly dry out your skin. I used to use the Loreal Deep Clean Exfoliating Scrub until I went out on a limb and tried this. SO MUCH BETTER!! and I really used to love the Loreal one. After I exfoliate, my skin really feels like a baby's butt!!! It is a very basic exfoliant, but I personally love it!!
moisturizer (night time)
| Swanson 95% Natural Argan Oil Night Cream $10 |
One of my co-workers just recently got this for me because I always used to Josie Maran Argan Oil at night. She found this on the internet and said that she wanted to dry it and I was all about it!! Turns out it is amazing!!! A little goes a long way!! It is a very thick cream, but it really doesn't take that long to soak into the skin! I put this on every night right after I apply my serum (listed below) This is for all skin types because argan oil is actually really good for the skin (not just the face)
moisturizer (day time)
 |
| Pond's Dry Skin Cream $9 |
This is another product that I have been using for a while. I have also tried other day time moisturizers but still seem to go back to this! It definately moisturizes my skin. I would not recommend this if you have oily skin because it is pretty heavy duty!! I will continue to repurchase this though!!
anti aging skin serum
 |
| Avon Mark. Youth Movement Skin Perfecting Serum $20 |
I LIVE BY THIS SKIN SERUM. When I read all about this, it claimed to fade acne scars, prevent fine lines under the eyes, and brighten the skin. SUPRISINGLY, it does just that!! I have been doing an experiment with this (blog post soon to come) showing the difference in my acne scars. DRAMATIC difference!!! I am not even finished a bottle and have already purchased me a backup. This has now become a staple in my skin care regimen. It feels really lightweight and soaks into the skin SUPER FAST!!! I cannot say enough good things about this product!!! If you are interested in this product, let me know and I have an AVON representative for you!!
face mask
| Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque $4 |
This is the best face mask at the drugstore. EVERYONE knows about this mask because it is simply that awesome. I usually do this face mask like once a week if not once every two weeks. It is really just a deep pore mask. It sucks out all the trapped dirt and oil in the pores. You can really feel your pores shrinking as the mask dries. Very basic, very awesome! You can't go wrong with this mask!
spot treatment
 |
| Orgins Super Spot Remover $14.50 |
For spot treatments, this is the way to go!! I have been using this product for YEARS and will continue to repurchase. IN LOVE!!!!! All you do is dab a little bit on acne and go to sleep and overnight, you will see a dramatic difference!! It is 1.5% salacytic acid i believe (this is the chemical that treats acne) This tiny bottle literally lasts forever!!! I like a spot remover that I "can feel the burn" if you know what I mean, lol. Whenever you put this on a blemish, you have a second of a little burning, but its like that good burning feeling haha. Like that "oh yeah, its working" feeling.
cleansing brush system
 |
| Olay Pro FX Brush System $30 |
I use this facial brush to clean my face every morning and every night. I do not use the face wash that comes with the kit though. I got mine at walgreen, but it is so much more expensive there. I recommend getting it from walmart. I always wanted the clarisonic, but there is no way I could allow myself to spend $150 on it! I find this works great. You can really tell when your finished washing your face that there is a difference from when you use just your hands, I can take off all of my makeup and then wash my face using this, and there will makeup residue on the brush!! It is amazing!! I totally recommend this, because I don't know what I would do without it now! It has two speeds (high and low) I use the high speed and it takes AA batteries.
toner
 |
| Mario Badescu Rose Water Facial Spray $7 |
Since I have dry skin, I dont tone my face with a real toner, because toners really dry out my face. I spritz this on my face because I apply my serum and moisturizer every night. It is very soothing on the face!! I impulsively got this on a shopping trip with one of my friends at ulta. It smells divine!! I also spritz this on my face when my skin is looking rather dry. It instantly adds moisture to the face! Very hydrating. I really would only recommend this to people with dry skin because there really is no purpose to own this if you have oily skin. This stays in my purse because I use it all the time!!
Thanks so much for reading!! Leave me feedback and recommendations on what you would like to see next!!! love y'all!!
