Alright. For all my boos that have skin that tends to breakout as badly as mine and are on a budget, here’s some tips and tricks I’ve learned:
1. Anything with 10% benzoyl peroxide is your new best friends. It dries out zits and makes them disappear. You can buy it over the counter and even a cheap off brand acne medicine with that will work. However, only use it once or twice a day and moisturize a lot cause it’ll leave your skin dry.
2. Clean and Clear deep action exfoliating scrub is your new best friend. It’ll make your skin feel amazing.
3. Don’t worry about using toner. It’s to balance the PH in your skin, but because of skin care advancements your face washes will do that already.
4. Rose hip oil helps reduce redness and acne scars. It also moisturizes your face without making your skin oily. You can order it for like $6 on Amazon.
5. Take the money you’re saving by not buying toner and use it for Biore nose strips for blackheads or get a nice clay face mask treatment. Get the kind in the bottle that’ll last you awhile instead of the one use kind. I recommend anything with charcoal, mint, or the Lush coffee facemask.
6. For makeup, I like Maybeline products. I feel like they aren’t super oily and don’t make my skin breakout. ELF has some super bomb highlighters too if you like to glow like me.
7. Anything from ELF is gonna work great, wear great, and not make the bank break. Seriously. That $5 foundation is my life. And they’ve got some good setting spray.
8. Exfoliate your lips. You can use any kind of lip scrub for that, but I like the ELF kind.
9. Chapstick (any brand. I like the Nivea kind a lot, personally) is your new best friend for you lips.
10. Eat yogurt. It’s good for you and has antioxidants to help fight the bacteria that can make skin breakout.Now go. Prosper with clear skin my lovelies.
