How I Deal with Acne Scars


Hi everyone! After my last blog post I thought I'd let you know about the products I use to help fade my scars and maintain my skin. Hope this helps!


Exfoliating:
 
I like to use “Frank” (the original scrub) which I have only recently been introduced to. IM SO SOFT. As well as that, Lush facemasks are so good for the skin, the exfoliating one I use is Love, Lettuce. It proper sheds away dead skin. The one I use when I get a breakout is Cupcake which is a soft, chocolatey one, it smells FAB. Also tastes kinda nice. Don’t think your meant to taste it right enough..

Everday Face Washing: 
 I’m pretty useless with facewashes as I just use any old one. However my favourite brand to use at the moment is Neutrogena. I have been using the Oil Free Acne Wash and the Transparant FacialBar soap, they are both just great at removing all makeup/dirt off your face aswell as helping to get rid of spots. Its so important to use a face cloth aswell guys! *I bought these in Home Bargains.*

Moisturising:
I also am yet to find the moisturiser of my dreams as I chop and change them all the time! After I wash my face I use either Nivea’s extra rich moisturiser or Nivea’s 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner. I also use the cleanser to remove makeup before I wash my face/ go to bed (sometimes I forget to wash my face ok soz). I also looooove to use baby oil on my face after a shower, but I don’t use that every day #spots.  *I also bought these 3 products in Home Bargains.*
                               
Clinique:
 Once my acne had p*ssed off I was left with a very red face, I honestly feel so lucky that my skin has healed since then you have no idea how bad it was! A product that really helped to heal this was Clinique’s dark spot correcter. Yes, this is for 'aging spots' but it also really helped fade away the red marks on my face! I also used a lot of the redness solutions including the moisturiser, cleanser, facewash, makeup which all really helped me at the time. Big up to the parents for paying for all this.. to be fair it was their genes!!!!!! Haha, I joke. *I bought these in-store after a chat with the consultant*

Estee Lauder: At the moment I have started using Estee Lauders Double Wear foundation which is amazing for full coverage, which I love. Obviously its not for everyone as a lot of people don’t like a heavy foundation, but unfortunately I have grown up using them. Hopefully one day I’ll find a lighter one Im comfortable in! Anyways, that’s another blog post. I also got my hands on the Advanced Night Repair serum by Estee Lauder, which is really really nice to put on the skin before bed. Waking up with soft skin is the best feeling. Bearing in mind this brand is so so so expensive, it really is worth the money! *bought in store*

Dead Sea Spa Magik: I have two products from this brand, They were quite cheap, and I just fancied trying them! The Mild Exfoliant is amazing at removing dead skin which is key in fading acne scars. After exfoliating with this I use the Super NightCream which leaves my skin soft with barely any bumps! *bought at Holland & Barrett*

I purchased all of these products in store, but I have linked them if you cant get to the store/ to show you what they look like/price range!

I know a lot of the products I have shown you are extortionate and if you cant afford them, the best thing to do is go into Boots or somewhere similar and speak to an Estee Lauder/Clinique consultant as they will help you as best as they can (give you testers, recommend a cheaper alternative)

As you should know, it is very important to drink lots of water to help the skin nourish and also get a good sleep! My skin honestly looks the best after a good nights sleep.

Please comment and let me know if this has helped any one of you, I will be putting up a video about it also so you should  check it out! <3
