Skincare routine- Acne prone skin

hello beauties,
Sorry i haven't posted in a while i've been busy with school exams and work but now i finally have a few days off so i will be catching up with my blog posts

I personally have very acne prone skin. I have a lot of redness and scarring and i would say my skin is sensitive and combination-oily.
I have been through so many different skin cleansers both quite expensive ones and cheap ones from the drugstore and i am only now starting to discover products that really work for me.

First of all every night i remove my makeup either with my Garnier cleansing water or a makeup removal wipe. I then use one of two face washes. I have been alternating between my Herbalism cleanser from lush or my Avene cleansing gel. I usually alternate and use one in the morning and then the other at night.
I will then use a toner either my Garnier pure active pimple reducing toner or my Lush tea tree toner water which i have recently run out of but will be repurchasing soon. I then apply my grease lighting spot treatment from lush to any existing blemishes on my face. Lastly i will moisturize with my Garnier moisture match moisturizer. I am a huge fan of these they are so inexpensive but are really great products! i own three different ones, the green one which is supposed to mattify oily skin, the yellow one which is supposed to give your skin a radiant glow and the blue one which is for normal to dry skin and really moisturizes really well.
Three times a week i will use my st ives green tea scrub to exfoliate and i will also do a Mask once or twice a week. The mask i have really been loving lately is the Lush Cosmetic Warrior fresh mask. The only thing i dont like about this is that it STINKS so bad.


So there you have it. That is my skincare routine. I really believe that if your are going to apply makup to your face you really need a clean base and just a basic skincare routine that you follow. Not only will it make your skin cleaner but it will also help your makup go on better.

Thanks for reading xx

  1. Great post! I have acne prone skin too and I love lush grease lightening amd their tea tree toner. I found herbalism way too crumbly and messy and I didn't enjoy it for that reason. I have also tried that mask but had to throw it out because it smelt so gross!!! Xx
