how to properly wash your face
this post is a bit of a spinoff from my last post, 'how you can reduce acne'. read it here.
now, properly washing your face has many benefits, such as:
removing buildup washing your face clears away dirt, oil and other unwanted debris, preventing clogged pores and acne breakouts.
boosting hydration regular cleansing can help to maintain proper hydration levels, which keeps the skin smooth.
maintaining clear skin it helps to manage the production of sebum and supports proper pore size, contributing to clearer skin.
enhancing the effectiveness of products clean skin allows for better absorption of skincare products like moisturizers and treatments.
promoting healthy skin by removing impurities and maintaining hydration, face washing contributes to overall skin health.
here's some steps, how to properly wash your face:
start by removing any makeup with a gentle makeup remover or micellar water. it's important to remove makeup because clean skin absorbs skincare products better, making them more effective. never, and i repeat NEVER wear makeup to bed. this will lead to breakouts and acne. your skin needs time to breathe.
2. wet your face with warm water. using hot water can strip your skin of natural oils and cold water isn't as effective at cleaning.
3. use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser suitable for your skin type and apply it to your face in a circular motion. make sure to be gentle. avoid scrubbing your skin harshly as this can cause irritation.
4. rinse off the cleanser completely with warm water.
5. pat your face dry with a clean towel. i use a face washer (which is like a tiny, thin towel) and change it every 2-3 uses. do not rub when you are drying your face, as this can irritate the skin.
6. apply a moisturizer suitable for your skin type to keep your skin hydrated. personally, i only use moisturizer in the mornings, mixing it with my sunscreen. at nighttime, i prefer to just wash my face and if i have pimples, i will apply a spot treatment.

Hey there
I have pimples popping out since the past few days.And right now I’m on my period.But I didn’t used to have so many of these pimples.They’re not too big.And one has even left its mark on my cheekbone and I honestly hate it.I wonder how I can get rid of that mark and these pimples.And why I got them in the first place.
Hi love! It's really common to get more (or only get) acne during the week before or the week of your period due to the rise (Ovaluation to menstruation) or lack of progesterone (onset of your period) levels. These hormone fluctuations can increase the oil production in your skin, resulting in more clogged pores/acne.
Some of the best ways to help manage hormonal acne are through diet, skin hygiene, cardio/movement, and managing stress levels.
For diet, try to incorporate plenty of green vegetables, B vitamins, omega 3s/healthy fats, and plenty of fresh produce generally while avoiding dairy, soda, and highly processed foods.
For skincare, wash your face 2x/day, change your pillow cases weekly, towels at least weekly, wash your face and pat it dry with a disposable towel, don't touch your face without washing your hands, or consider trying retinoids.
Exercise, walks, sex, and meditation are great stress management tools. Also, for some people, birth control pills/IUDs are really helpful to control acne if you want to explore that option.
Hope this helps xx

Face icing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Facial icing is exactly what it sounds like, the process of applying ice to your face. Low temps causes blood to rise beneath the surface of the skin, which has a variety of benefits.
The benefits of icing your face
Reduces swelling, puffiness and tenderness : The cold helps help drain excess fluids from the lymphatic system, which also help decrease facial puffiness.
Lessens the appearance of under-eye bags : The same lymphatic drainage that reduces overall puffiness can specifically reduce the appearance of a puffy under-eye area. Gently icing under the eyes can help release fluid buildup, drain toxins and cause a tightening effect.
Brightens your complexion : Who needs top-of-the-line highlighter when an ice cube can give you the same glow for free? Icing constricts the blood vessels is your face, which can lessen the appearance of pores and wrinkles and make you look lighter, brighter and more radiant overall.
Free and easy to do : You don’t need any fancy equipment or expensive products to ice your face. For exactly zero dollars, it offers an easily accessible way to tend to your skin care needs.
How to safely ice your face
All you need to ice your face is, well, some ice. But Scarso doesn’t recommend it applying it directly to your face on its own, as it could cause irritation and redness.
Instead, wrap an ice cube in a thin cloth, which will protect the skin on your face and your hands, and begin to lightly massage your face. “Rub the ice around your face in a circular motion,” she advises. “You want constant movement.”
Lightly massage the following areas:
- Around your mouth
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Forehead
- Jaw
- Nose
Don’t let the ice rest on any portion of your skin for too long, as it could cause that aforementioned irritation and redness — and even frostbite. And do remember to moisturize after icing your face so that your skin doesn’t dry out.
My personal recommendation and opinion : As someone who suffers from acne, I do not recommend buying the Ice cube mold. The idea that I will icing my face with an ice cube and then put it back in the freezer or add some water to the mold and not be able to disinfect it the right way definitely turned me off the idea of ​​buying this product. But this is my opinion on this product, everyone has a different experience.

for my skincare girlies: i’m going to help you get your skin healthier than ever.
i’m currently studying medicine. my aim is to become a dermatologist and/or chemist to work for a pharmaceutical/ medical/ cosmetic company or entrepreneur my own.
i’m an acneic person. i started getting breakouts when i was 11. this led me to several different types of problems, such as depression and mental health issues, which just made my breakouts worse.
if you have acne and don’t want to start with isotretinoin, (dercutane, roacutan in spain) (dk how to say it in english) try using:
-If you have severe acne: EFFACLAR line by La Roche Posay.
-Less severe acne: Vinopure line by Caudalie. CeraVe. Biretrix line by Cantabria Labs.
-Combination of skins/ dry skin: Nuxe. CeraVe.
The routines should be like this:
Morning:
-Cleanser
-Toner
-Serum (not necessary)
-Moisturizer
-Spf not lower than 15.
Night:
-Cleanser
-Toner
-Serum
-Moisturizer
-Vaseline for the lips, lash serum, face masks etc.
I also recommend, if you have acne, DONT, under no circumstances, wear your makeup without your skincare routine beforehand, AND DONT GO TO BED WITHOUT CLEANING YOUR MAKEUP.
Makeup is not recommended btw. If you want to wear foundation, use better a tinted spf.
Never listen to influencers. They’re always paid to promote the products. Listen to dermatologists instead, they’ve studied 6 years of medicine and 4 years of residency. Don’t forget that.
And remember, this takes time, money, pain and patience. But let’s do it together this 2024. Follow me for more tips and advice.

how to reduce acne (and what is acne)
acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. it typically results in whiteheads, blackheads or pimples that can appear on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders. acne is most prevalent among teens but can affect people of all ages. several factors contribute to acne, such as excess oil production, buildup of dead skin cells, bacterial growth and inflammation.
acne is not inherently 'bad' but it is a source of discomfort for many people. while acne itself is not a bad thing, it can lead to potential complications if not managed properly, such as scarring or emotional distress.
when reading this post, it is important to remember that everyone's skin is different and what works for one person may not work for another. i'd like to add that i am not a dermatologist, and this post is written with my own experience in mind as well as research online.
reducing acne involves a combination of skincare practices and lifestyle adjustments. here are some recommended actions:
properly wash your face cleanse your face twice daily to remove excess oil, sweat and dirt. some common face washing mistakes include using the wrong cleanser, over-washing your face, under-washing your face, the wrong water temperature and using a dirty washcloth. don't worry if this all seems confusing, here's a post on how to properly wash your face.
know your skin type use products suitable for your skin type only--oily, dry, combination or sensitive. you can find this out by visiting a dermatologist or (alternatively) researching the skin types and seeing which best matches your skin.
moisturise moisturiser curbs dryness, which balances oil production in your face and therefore helps to prevent acne. choose a non-comedogenic moisturiser to not clog your pores.
consider over-the-counter treatments think about acne treatments with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.
stay hydrated drink plenty of water to maintain skin hydration. good hydration helps to maintain skin elasticity, supports the skin's protective functions and prevents sunburn, sensitivity and oiliness. women should drink about 2.7L of fluids every day (including water, other beverages and food).
limit makeup use minimal makeup and ensure that it is non-comedogenic. don't stop wearing makeup if it is something you enjoy, however, try to limit it in acne-strong areas.
don't touch your face this is a big one, and yet so many people do it. keep your hands away from your face to prevent the spread of bacteria. seriously, you use your hands for so much--you don't want the germs of everything you've touched on your face.
limit sun exposure protect your skin with appropriate sunscreen. and remember to re-apply! limiting sun exposure also reduces skin cancer risk. balance is key, though, because the sun is necessary for vitamin d production and maintaining circadian rhythms.
exercise regularly physical activity can help reduce stress, which may contribute to acne.
enjoy a healthy diet eating a well-balanced diet can support skin health. consider reducing dairy and high glycemic foods. a diet with a low glycemic index may help balance hormone levels, which is the same effect when insulin spikes occur less. essential nutrients promote skin health and help to repair and maintain the skin barrier.
invest in stress management find ways to reduce stress, such as journaling or going for a walk. stress can worsen acne. this is because, under stress, the body's healing process slows down, meaning acne can take longer to heal and become more severe. stress hormones can also increase oil production, leading to clogged pores.

Honey is a fantastic natural ingredient that can effectively hydrate the skin and fade acne scars. Its humectant properties enable it to attract and retain moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and supple. Additionally, honey contains antioxidants and antibacterial properties that help fight acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. When applied topically, honey promotes the healing process of acne scars by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. So, incorporating honey into your skincare routine can be a beneficial and natural way to achieve hydrated and scar-free skin.

I hate when I mention I have acne and people immediately go "Oh you should buy X product" cause so many of my zits have been caused by just actions and not what creme I'm using/not using so without further ado
Here's a list of habits that may help reduce your ance for $0.
- wash your face first thing in the morning. Don't wait hours after you've woken up
-if your acne is surrounding your hairline, it might be your shampoo. Have they changed the recipe lately or did you switch shampoos?
-STOP PICKING YOUR FACE I SWEAR TO GOD THEY TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT ZITS GOING AWAY. THE HORMONAL ONES MAY PERSIST BUT THE LITTLE STUPID ONES WILL DEMINISH.
-if your acne is going around your neck and down your back, it might be your conditioner. Try rinsing it out sooner and not leaving it in as long. Maybe you could even skip it idk.
-if you're grease training your hair, your skin might not be a fan. I can't do grease training but you might have to power thru this one.
-after you exercise or sweat a bunch at least rinse your face and acne areas with water if you can't shower. Don't wait again.
-if you have zits on the bridge of your nose and on your cheeks, it might be from sunglasses or glasses. Disinfect the frames often.
-switch pillowcases more than you think you need to. Like weekly.
-same with Towels you use to dry and clean your face
-sometimes scrubbing your face too often can cause acne. You don't need to exfoliate often. Or ever sometimes. Depends on the person.
-wash hats and other fabrics that touch your face
-wear breathable clothes where you have acne.
-if you have acne between and under your boobs, and down your back it might be sports bra related. Wash those after every use. (Pads don't have to be washed as often)
-wash your bras more often than normal. But don't wash them as frequently as sports bras. They won't last as long.
-for washing your back get a scrub stick. It's hard to reach all the areas with your hand.
-bumps on your arms can be diminished by moisturizing with normal lotion.
-also most people don't need to moisturize as often as it's talked about.
-some zits are actually infected hairs. Especially if they're in odd areas where acne doesn't normally occur (for me it's the pubic region) these can be plucked and they go away.
-clean your earbuds. Have you had an ear zit? They're gross and painful.
-if you have acne in odd areas that's all over your body, ask if you switched laundry detergent recently? A lot of people I know are sensitive to certain laundry brands.
-never pick your zits with dirty hands and gross fingernails. That shit will get infected so readily.
-also forreal don't pop zits on the lip they take so long to heal and they naturally go away a lot faster.
-if you eat a very greasy meal, wipe your mouth well and rinse it after you're done. And wash your hands well.
-I stopped using concealer cause there's a lot of oil in it naturally, and It made me breakout more.
-if you have a wave of acne, look at where you are on your menstrual cycle and see if it's ovulation or period time. Usually that's when I get breakouts.
Thats all I can think of. I hope I can help anyone else. I've been better about not picking but stopping it before it starts is the best tool. Love you muah❤️💋

For anyone who's been struggling with acne, I would recommend Natural Acne Clinic as its program believes in treating acne holistically, compared to taking something harsh like Accutane. I can vouch for the program as it actually does work. It's not a permanent solution to acne, but it will absolutely help clear up your face especially if you have unmanageable/cystic acne. The thing is that you have to be 100% committed to following the program for it to work, and you won't start seeing results till after a few months in. But yeah I do recommend it.

I FUCKING HATE ACNE
Why do i have to take these dumb pills and apply like three-Four creames my doctor gave me?!!??!,!:71727:)2)
THERES SIDE EFFECTS OF THESE STUPID PILLS WHY?
It feels so wrong to take something that maybe will give side effects like your body doesn’t want it. Like your body is telling you to stop.
I know there’s a bunch of people who don’t have acne and who don’t have to do all these things to feel beautiful, and I’m jealous of them.
It feels so wrong to have to take these things just to get rid of stupid acne.
I’m angry and i just needed to rant tbh.

My Personal Goal Progress and Steps to Achieving Them: Part 3, Skin Care
Hello there. For today’s article, I decided to talk about what my personal goals are and how I plan to go about reaching them.
I’ve realised that I’ve made a lot of content on creating goals, but I haven’t shown how it works for me with real life examples. Maybe showing this little insight in my life will help you manage your own goals better.
My Goals for 2022-end
* Read 6 books
* Lose 5 inches off my lower waist
* Get rid of acne scars
* 20 Medium articles by the end of the year
* Go back to playing tennis
* Be able to read the language I’m studying fluently
Getting rid of my acne scars. Phew!
I struggled with acne because of PCOS for many years. Let me get straight to the point- Accutane, in my experience and my friends, is the only drug that 100% works.
I tried everything. I tried the herbal methods, I tried cutting dairy out, I went as far as having collagen injected into my face- nothing worked. Until I completed one round of Accutane, which I began in April.
I did experience a slight purge but the way my active acne went away… miraculous. Why didn’t my doctor give this to me before?!
The reality is that to treat acne scars you have to be treating the acne as well. So here’s what I use for my skin in addition to the meds:
Morning
- Cerave face wash
- Toner
- Vitamin C from Sephora
- Sunscreen
- Moisturiser
- Make up
Evening
- Cerave face wash
- Toner
- High Frequency: Neon (bought it from Amazon, I try to do this everyday for 1.5 minutes on my face)
- Sacara goji berry moisturiser
- MeDerma intensive repair scar cream (the overnight one)
- High Frequency: Argon (bought it from Amazon, I try to do this everyday for 1.5 minutes on my face)
Once a week
- The ordinary’s AHA+BHA red serum
- Clay mask for my oily skin
- Steam face + remove blackheads
- Remove facial hair
You can see my progress below.
