Hey guys, welcome back to my channel
So today's video is all about
The best products that I use to clear my skin these products like are the main ones that I saw
huge differences in my skin and if you were with me through
2018 you were with me through a bit of a journey here skincare journey Orion's belt if anybody remembers
There were points where my skin was so
Terrible that I could barely wear makeup on top of it because the cystic acne was really getting to it
I had little bumps everywhere. It was leaving scars like it was just
really taking a toll
But I did find these products and I found that they really helped so I wanted to share them with you guys
Obviously, I still get little things here and there especially like around that time a month when it is hormonal
But they're not as bad or as big of breakouts as they were before. I don't get those cystic acne spots anymore
I don't have any texture on my forehead. It's very smooth now
The products really took that away a plus
No scars really? Yes, I mean, so if you guys want to see or hear about all the products I've been using
Just keep watching
Okay, so this is the number one thing that I feel like makes the biggest difference in my skin and in clearing up my acne
So for me I get little
Texture like little dots all over my forehead
And sometimes other places as well and also cystic acne like the big red ones that are very painful that are under the skin
when I start using this it
completely takes away the little bumps the texture on my skin makes everything smooth like you see here and
I'll sometimes just even like spot
Spot correct or I don't know put this on like the actual blemishes when they start to come up when I start to feel them
Under the skin and again, they like completely
Take it away melt it I don't know it's pretty magical
It is a prescription. So obviously you would have to talk to a
dermatologist to
get this but the reason that I continued to mention it is because it actually works and I only want to
obviously tell you guys about products that are actually working for me and this is 100% a
Miracle product product for me. It is benzoyl peroxide
And I feel like people react better to benzoyl peroxides. Some people react better to cells
So look acid as far as clearing acne and clearing the texture on the skin
But you just have to find what works for you
but for me
I definitely have seen
that benzoyl peroxide and this specific own extant product has been I go to the only thing I will say is that honestly it is
kind of like a
Hassle because it's a prescription product. So you have to like get it refilled and everything
So at one point I got lazy and I didn't refill it and I just started using
more of an over the counter benzoyl peroxide, which did work a
Little bit but I saw a difference. Like I saw that this one was stronger so highly highly recommend own Exton
Really made a difference in my skin. Another thing that I would recommend to you guys
That I found and this might be in my head
But I'm not sure
Is taking off my eye makeup before the rest of my face makeup so that you're not smearing it all over your face
I feel like it was like getting it might have been getting in my pores and like clogging up my pores and then
You know, once you're at that point, honestly, you're you're done for once your pores are clogged
Your pimples are gonna be popping up. Your blemishes are really gonna be popping up
so I have been trying to remove my eye makeup first so that I can get all that like mascara and liner and
Eyeshadow and everything off and then go in and remove my face makeup
So that's not just like getting smeared all over. You know when you already have a
Breakout happening. I will say that do next thing kind of prevents breakouts like once you start using it regularly
I do use this every morning. So I use it once a day every morning. I'll put it all over my face
Underneath my moisturizer. So I'll go on with moisturizer over top and this at first it takes away what you already have
But then it works almost as a preventative measure
and then I I swear I don't get really get that many bad breakouts as long as I'm using this if
One or two things like pop up on my skin and I want to just control it a little bit like I said before
You still make it like hormonal acne during that time a month
During times when you're really stressed
little things do pop up in your skin, but what I found
Helps me is tea tree oil
so this is the derma e tea tree and
Vitamin E oil this one I like because it's a mixture of the tea tree and the vitamin E
so you're getting the
Benefits of the tea tree oil but vitamin E actually helps to moisturize that area that you put it on as well
So you're getting a little bit of both vitamin E also does help with scarring
So again, you're getting a little bit of a dual action product going there
but tea tree oil is great to put on little blemishes that pop up because it's actually
Antibacterial and antimicrobial so it's gonna start to kill that bacteria if I do pick at my face
Which I'm not recommending this to you guys at all and I have tried
My best to stop like I have really tried hard to stop picking at my face if I do pick out like one little thing
and that you know the
Satisfaction of that little Whitehead just pops out then I'll go over it with this
like I'll put this on a little cotton pad and just place it over the
area where I've just broken the skin and
I feel like the tea tree oil gets in there and it helps it heal it faster because it's killing all the bacteria
Inside like once the skin is actually already open. And again, honestly, I'm not recommending this
Because I don't want you guys to be picking your skin because that's the worst thing you can do probably but if you do
If I do that's what I do
And I just like place the tea tree oil on top. So it kind of like gets in there and kills any bacteria
In there and also because this one is actually mixed with my even E
It's getting a little bit of like the soothing properties as well
So another thing I started doing that I would say
I really saw a difference in my skin after about a couple weeks is using a toner
So the one that I started using this is a brand new bottle because I went through my last one
Is the EULA Henriksen balancing force oil control toner?
There's a ton of great toners out there and I do switch it up a little bit
But this is the one that I would recommend for you guys if you're dealing with really bad acne if you really want to clear
It up if you've never used a toner before a toner
Basically, you put on a - a cotton pad and then you wipe it all over your face right after cleansing your face
So the first step after cleansing and it really helps to get your skin balanced right away
This particular one has a J. So it does have some light chemical exfoliants in there
So it's gonna help to remove any dead skin cells
But also just balance the skin and tone the pores so that they hopefully don't get as clogged. I love that
Okay, another thing that I tried out while in the process of clearing my skin is retinol
So this one is from drunk elephant. Hopefully you
Can
The logs are pretty broad in here, but this one's from drunk elephant
It's there a passionate retinol cream. A lot of retinols are
way, too
rough for my skin like they just make my skin super dry and
It almost kind of hurts honestly like it makes my skin extra sensitive when I use retinols
But this one is the one that I would recommend you guys because it's the most gentle that I've found
This is actually a plant-based retinol. So it's not a chemical retinol. It is 1% retinol
So it's not gonna be like too overbearing. I personally cannot use retinol every single day
Even this one the most gentle one that I found I use it every other day
But it does again help to resurface the skin
If you have been dealing with a lot of breakouts, you really want a good duo
I would recommend this in the morning and then
Retinol at night because this is gonna be killing any bacterias that's on your skin because of the benzoyl peroxide
it's gonna help to really like just
Prevent anything from happening, but this helps to resurface the skin
get those dead skin cells off once again and
Really help like you're glowing beautiful skin from underneath come through. Okay, so getting into some masks
I have a couple different ones that I wanted to
I have a couple different that I want to tell you guys about
So first off is the Shea Moisture
african
black soap clarifying mud mask so mud mask or clay masks are great for any type of breakout issues because they're drawing the
Toxins out of your skin out of your breakouts out of those acne
Spots or blemishes and this one specifically I like because it's a bit more hydrating than most
Some of them do tend to dry out my skin
So if it's a really dry formula
then I'll just go in and like spot conceal over little blemishes that pop up or
If I were having a big breakout like when I had my Orion's belt, yes
Then I would just put on my forehead for example
But this one I can put all all over and again, hopefully get those preventative measures in there
because if you look inside
I mean I've done like I've talked about this before but I do like the texture of it because it almost feels like a lotion
But you are getting those acne fighting ingredients in there you this actually has tea tree oil as well
And it does just have those like clarifying boom bada bing, you know when I'm trying to say
Tumor mass that I want to talk about
hoola, Henriksen cold plunge pour bass such a great one for acne prone skin for blemish prone skin
This has a very very cooling property to it
So it feels great when you put on your skin if you are having a breakout and you know
your skin just feels like congested or
it just feels
Inflamed almost when you have a bad break out or when you have those home hormonal acne spots that come under the skin
This is such a soothing product because it does have that cooling effect. And again, it has a J's in there
So you're getting those exfoliating benefits?
Really the key things that I personally look for are
Ingredients that are gonna help to kill bacteria and then ingredients that are gonna help to resurface the skin underneath to help
Scarring and also the actual blemishes go away
Speaking actually speaking of exfoliants. This is one of the best that I have tried derma e overnight pill ooh
Ooh, it's good. Okay, it's good
So basically, this is an overnight mask
So I don't put any
of this other stuff on if I'm gonna be using this because it just like a standalone product for me if ever there was a
Point where like I felt a bad breakout coming
Underneath the skin and I like I just knew, you know when you just know the next day
There's gonna be a breakout. There's gonna be like, there's gonna be some something going on on your face
the night before I will use this and
It does really make it go away
You know who's actually the person that told me about this is Alyssa
she came over to my house and she was helping me clean and
she she wanted to know if I had this and I did and we used it that night and I
Really did see a difference like I woke up and my skin was glowing
I didn't feel like I was having the breakout I didn't feel like I was gonna have the breakout anymore if that's possible
And it just felt so smooth and radiant and I feel like my skin actually got resurfaced, but it's a super gentle formula
So it's not gonna cause or at least for me it didn't cause any irritation or any redness or anything like that
It just did what it was meant to do
Love that water
super important to to stay hydrated
I really see a difference in my skin if I've been tricky enough while they're versus if I have not like I can see that
My skin looks more plump
and when you're getting a breakout and
This might again just be in my head. I'm not really sure well, um
but if I drink a ton of water, I do feel like it's kind of like
It defends it a little bit like the breakout doesn't come as badly as I would have
If I wasn't drinking enough water, so drink enough water. I try to drink at least one of these a day if not -
And this is 2.5 litres
Love that
one other thing that I want to touch upon that
Really did help me. I just keep my skin clear is
SPF I personally use the herb Orient CC cream because it has a little bit of a tint to it
But I use it mainly because of the SPF. It has broad-spectrum SPF 25
but when you have
Breakouts, if you go into the Sun the Sun can actually make those scars stay longer on your skin and become deeper
So you definitely want to be using a sunscreen all over your face for anti-aging purposes
But also actually to keep your skin clear and to keep it clear from scarring as best as you possibly can so
That's why I would definitely recommend sunscreen
Also, you want to be using sunscreen if you are using any sorts of retinols or a chase or chemical exfoliants in general
That's just like, you know, you gotta do that. You got to do that for your skin, but
If you already have the scars and you want to get rid of them
These are the two products that I would recommend. So you guys know derma e scar gel is like my OG
It really does work
it's if you guys have tried it so many of you guys tweet me and
DM me saying that you've tried that you just tried the derma scar gel
You tried it a month ago and you've seen such a change in your skin, and it's really true
Like it really really does work
Well at removing those scars even very deep scars like acne scarring. I have seen them
Disappear from my skin after using this so how I personally use this is this is my last step after moisturizer
After you know serums and toners and all that stuff
This is what I go in with and I put it all over any
Spots that are scarring so I don't actually put it like all over my face
I just spot conceal or spot correct those areas and
It just it it's like a miracle product. Like I really do see the scars fade and disappear
And it works even better on new scars
So if you get up like acne scar put it on ASAP
And it's usually gone within like three to five days for me
This is a newer product that I've been using
But I did want to mention it to you guys because I feel like it does work. This is the hoola Henriksen glow - oh
I think that's how you pronounce it glow - OH glow to ou H dark spot toner
So what this is is a toner that is actually formulated to specifically target those dark spots
so I personally have been using this one in the morning and then this one at night and again, I really have been seeing a
Difference in my skin this has really high potency
Both in C such a rumored that has very like high strength Ajay's in here
So it really works to get down and dirty and exfoliate the skin on top
Balance out the skin and get rid of those dark spots
And again, like I really see a difference with these products like I don't really have scarring anymore
I don't have the I'll texture on my face
I definitely have not been getting as many cystic acne spots
and when I do they go away a lot quicker with these methods with these products and
That is it. So hopefully this helps you guys out
I really do hope that it makes a difference for you guys
If you are dealing with the breakouts
If you're dealing with a lot of you know acne issues right now because I know how hard it is. I know how like
How hard it is to?
Feel like you're doing so much and it's not going away. So
Hopefully some of this stuff helps you guys and don't forget to subscribe if you want to see more videos from me
