I while back I used the vitamine E but I noticed they changed the ingredients or something so I completely stopped using it because it was irritating my skin. I love the L'oreal products now I use it everyday and don't give me any bother. Yes it true that there's no point in using products when I don't have any makeup but I have found a difference on when I don't use it everyday and if I do because when I don't it's so easy for me to breakout whereas when I do it's less likely I will.


Yeah that makes sense (: I suppose it just depends what type of skin you have

Hahaha something like that... Don't get me started on my corresponding hair routine :colondollar:

I have awful combination skin though and if I don't balance it prooerly. I'll either get terrible breakouts or awful flaky skin.

I used to have acne and still have a mild one, or at least hormonal breakouts. I had all this fancy routines that included tons of stuff because I, too, have a demanding combination skin.I noticed that it's better for me to simplify things up.

Nowadays I use Kiehl's calendula deep cleansing foam (which is a bit drying tbh, I also have the black African soap bar but that's even more drying) as a moisturizer I use the basic nivea cream. I used to have A-vitamin moisturizer which was pretty good but I was more surprised by the nivea cream. It seems to balance my skin tone and doesn't make my skin look too oily but it also makes sure it doesn't get flaky. Not to mention how cheap it is compared to my previous creams.

I also use manuka honey as a mask every once in a while and exfoliate once a week. In the morning I only wash my face with water if it seems greasy, usually it looks the best in the morning.

My favorite fancy product was definitely No Zit Sherlock spot treatment by Bliss, it work for single breakouts so well! But they don't sell it over here anymore and I think it kind of stopped working after awhile, so maybe it's only good for a short period of time...
Wake up, wash my face then dry done. :biggrin:
