My skincare routine

My skin has been relatively clear for the past 2-ish years.  However, very recently, I've been getting a few minor breakouts, which has kind of freaked me out.  I do not want my skin to regress to what it was like in middle school and early high school, so I'm doing what I can to fix it and prevent worse breakouts.


In the morning I use Neutrogina Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub in the shower most days of the week, and St. Ives Apricot Scrub once or twice a week, followed by Origins Starting Over Age-erasing moisturizer with Mimosa (which I got for free at Sephora for bringing an empty makeup container), and Bliss Fabulous every day eye cream.  Both the moisturizer and the eye cream feel really amazing on my skin.

At night, I take my eye makeup off with Neutrogena oil-free eye makeup remover.  After that, I wash my face with the new Sephora Supreme cleansing foam all in one cleanser, which works really well to take my face makeup off, and my face always feels really clean afterwards.  It's a really nice cleanser for $7.  I follow that with Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner, which I couldn't live without.

After those three steps, I use the same moisturizer and eye cream, and go to bed.  When I have a bad pimple, I have found that every spot treatment I have ever tried has not worked as well as toothpaste.  Yup, toothpaste!  It dries out the pimple easily, and it's already right there in the bathroom.  However, I did like the tea-tree oil from The Body Shop when I had it a few years ago.
