Unless you are the luckiest
person, more or less you will face a common enemy: ACNE. When I was in college,
mine literally looks like a big dipper:
This is when I decide to start
learning about acne, and proper way to treat it. So in this series, I am going
to talk about how to Fight your acne with 4 easy steps.
First, also the most important,
is Cleansing.
Only a clean surface will allow
you add more later on.
You probably heard this thing
called: Salicylic Acid. This is a medication to treat common
swelling, which is a common reaction from acne. It will help to reduce redness
and inflammation of skin. I highly recommend to use cleanser that have
salicylic acid when you see the first sign of Acne.
NOTE: Salicylic acid is NOT
recommended if you are pregnant. High doses of the acid in its oral form
(Aspirin) increases the risk of intracranial bleeding. If you are
pregnant, please ask your doctor for recommendation on acne treatment.
After many many testing, I have found
four products that work for me very well.
You can find all four of them in
your local drugstore or Sephora. I love them all. They all have pros and some
cons, but if you ask me to choose my favorite, I have to say Murad clarifying
cleanser. It doesn't feel dry or tight after use, it give you a cool and fresh
feeling. And, my husband loves it too. I like to use my cleanser when I am
showering, because hot steam will open my pores so I can really clean my face
well.
You can also pair with
clarisonic, or other cleaning tools, some may think it is too harsh, some may
not. That's up to you~
So that's all my cleanser
recommendation for the day. Have you tried any of them and it worked? Or not?
What else did you try? How do you like it? Does it work for you? I would
love to know your experiences!
