I’ve always heard, “Take care of your skin to prevent early aging!!” And sad to say, as I’m nearing my 30’s I’m starting to think I should have started sooner…there’s just not enough time or money for all of the new life changing, or should I say “skin changing” products.
A little background about my skin journey: In my teens, my skin was relatively good, sure my skin was a little oily, but I do live in a hot a humid climate, so almost everyone had shiny skin. It wasn’t until my mid-20s when I started to struggle with problematic acne. It was during a pretty stressful time of grad school and starting my first in filed job that I started to really struggle with acne. My acne ranged from small whiteheads to large wide cysts that hurt. So with the acne, came the many products I bought in attempt to cure it and almost more importantly cover it! I tried everything!!
The one skincare line and three products that really saved me was La Roche-Posay. I used it for about two months, but honestly saw results in the first 1-2 weeks. I was so relieved after over a year of spending money on so many products. I will say that the foundation that really helped to cover and stay all day was the L’Oreal Infalliable Pro-Matte Foundation.
So after struggling with acne, then just oily skin, then wanting KPOP idol status skin, I found that just a simple, to the point routine has worked wonders for me. With just two steps in the morning:
Step 1: Toner
Step 2: Moisturizer
I truly feel that this toner has really helped to control my oil, and this is my go to moisturizer with anti-aging properties and SPF! It is a quite pricey, but when I think back to how many products I used before, it adds up to be almost the same.
Let me know what your holy grail products are!! I am in the market for an eye cream! Check out my nighttime skincare routine too!
