I’ve been talking a lot about routines lately (as seen here and here ), and have found that implementing them into my life makes my life so much easier. In fact I’ve learned that creating a routine is a great way to implement a new healthy habit into your life. Think about the routines you have that you don’t think twice about doing – brushing your teeth, your commute to work, your morning habits…these are the routines (whether effective or not) that we tend to do without thinking because we practice them over and over again. There’s some trigger that sets it off and BOOM we get it done. Well that’s the way I’ve come to think about my skin care routine.
I’ve struggled with adult acne and I now realize that most of that struggle has been because I haven’t implemented a consistent and healthy skin care routine. I will try some serum, cream or wash for a certain amount of time and eventually fall off the wagon. I either get lazy and sleep in my makeup, run out of an item and find some new miracle cure to implement, thus creating inconsistency, or just give up all together.
I started to see that routines were working in the other parts of my life when I stayed consistent with them, so I decided to try this method on my skin.
I am happy to say that after trying a lot of different types of skin care routines, I’ve finally found the one that works for me. Along with seeing a dermatologist and using prescribed medication, I also use an over the counter product that has my skin feeling so fresh and so clean (que OutKast song).
Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips and Bioré One Minute Self Heating Mask are just what I need when I want to do a budget friendly facial at home.
I start out with the Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips. They are the trusted, dermatologist-tested way to purify pores. Now in their 20th year, the iconic, innovative strips work like a magnet, lifting out deep-down grime, oil and blackheads from even your most clogged pores. I love the satisfaction of lifting the strip from my nose and feeling the unclogging of my pores. Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips remove deep down dirt, oil and even blackheads in just one strip. You can see a weeks’ worth of buildup AND excess oil in just 10 minutes (if you are into that sorta thing 🙂
The Bioré One Minute Self Heating Mask works in just under 1 minute! Infused with natural Charcoal, the mask draws out deep down dirt, oil, and surface toxins and heats up from the touch rinsing cool for oh so smooth skin.
