somewhere between trying to capture in as much outdoorsy time as possible in the second half of summer, a lot of stressful side projects, a especially poor bout of insomnia (I keep waking up around the Witching hour as well as then can’t autumn back asleep) as well as the stable stream of ice cream I’ve been eating after dinner (even though I understand what occurs when I have as well much dairy), I’ve started breaking out.
It’s nothing as well bad…yet (knocks on wood), certainly not as poor as the significant humdingers I get in some cases along my jawline. These are just bit whiteheads on my chin as well as around the edge of my forehead, as well as a couple of body breakouts on my breast as well as booty.
Yes, girl, booty — specifically, my left butt cheek, if you should know.
Is that TMI? Probably, however it’s not like I’m the very first person (or the last) to get a agonizing pimple on their bum.
Joka tapauksessa! When Neutrogena as well as Walgreens asked if I was down to switch up my acne-fighting game with their #LetsSolveIt campaign as well as take the quiz at SolveMyAcne.com, I thought, “Good timing!”
I’ve had excellent luck with Neutrogena skin care over the years, as well as I dig Walgreens (I utilized to go there on my breaks everyday when I worked in SF), so I stated “sure!”
Getting back into the swing of things at institution after summertime break is stressful enough. who needs the added tension of a poor breakout? get professional skin care recs with the Neutrogena #LetsSolveIt campaign by taking the Acne-Fighting Quiz at SolveMyAcne.com, as well as feel fabulously positive in clearer skin.
First step: the quiz. as well as it’s not one of those quizzes that they state is only going to take two minutes however ends up taking 20. It truly is just a handful of simple questions.
Niin kuin…
Based on my answers, right here are the four products the quiz suggested for me as well as my combo dry/oily skin:
Oil-Free Acne tension manage Power cream laundry ($8.99): This creamy, oil-free deal with laundry works without stripping or drying the skin. It includes salicylic acid (2%), as well as cucumber as well as eco-friendly tea extracts, to fight breakouts while decreasing redness as well as clearing up oil.
Rapid remove maximum stamina Acne treatment Pads ($9.49): These soft, textured oil-free pads likewise include salicylic acid (2%), as well as they’re soaked with something distinct to Neutrogena called MicroClear, a proprietary innovation scientifically proven to push medicine deep into pores to both fight the acne you can, as well as the acne you can’t, see.
Oil-Free wetness sensitive Skin ($10.99): This lightweight water-based moisturizer doesn’t include alcohol or any type of fragrances, so it’s suitable for sensitive skin.
Body remove Body laundry Pink Grapefruit ($8.49): Pink grapefruit. Those are the magic words for me best there. This gloriously grapefruit-scented laundry likewise includes chamomile, eco-friendly tea extract, vitamin C as well as 2% salicylic acid to treat body breakouts on the shoulders, back as well as breast while keeping new breakouts from…breaking out.
I like the concept of a whole acne regimen that only includes four products. I can deal with a four-step process, so I put my routine skin care favorites aside, as well as I’ve been utilizing these for two weeks.
Step 1: Acne tension manage Power cream Wash
Every morning as well as evening, I washed my deal with with the Acne tension manage Power cream laundry (which smells mildly minty). I like exactly how it leaves my skin feeling somewhat tingly (it’s a great pick-me-up in the morning!), as well as that it doesn’t make the dry parts of my skin feel tight or otherwise uncomfortable.
Step 2: fast stamina Acne treatment Pads
Then, best after utilizing the deal with wash, I wiped one of the fast stamina Acne treatment Pads around my face, paying special interest to the bit whiteheads along my jawline as well as around my forehead. At that point, there was typically some leftover product on the pad, so I’d likewise wipe the areas where I was breaking out on my breast (as well as that a person frustrating pimple on my bum).
Step 3: Oil-Free Moisturizer
After utilizing the pad, I completed up my deal with routine by moisturizing my deal with as well as neck with the Oil-Free Moisturizer.
And I did this every morning as well as night before bed after my shower.
Step 4: Body remove Body laundry in Pink Grapefruit
Lastly, while I was still IN the shower at night, I utilized the Body remove Body laundry in Pink Grapefruit around my breast (and, again, my booty), as well as then my routine body laundry to laundry all over else.
Tulokset
As I stated earlier, I’ve had truly excellent luck with Neutrogena skin care products over the years, so I was stoked to try these four, as well as the only one of them I believe I’ve tried beforeon vaaleanpunainen greippi kehon pesu.
Olen varmasti löytänyt parannuksen ihollani viimeisten kahden viikon aikana, erityisesti pimplesin ympärillä reunalla, jotka ovat – yay! – missään ei löydy.
Ota tämä, Zits!
Minulla on vielä yksi pieni whitehead minun leuka … mutta se on nyt siinä, missä ymmärrän, että se on mennyt pari päivää.
Olin hieman huolestunut siitä, että pyykinpesu ja tyynyjä kuivuisivat posket (jotka ovat jo niin, niin kuivat), mutta he eivät ole vielä. Olen todella kuin heistä sekä suunnitelma jatkaa niiden hyödyntämistä.
Vai niin! Sekä oletus mitä? Ajattelin, että voit saada paljon enemmän bang teidän Buck, jos leikkaat tyynyt puoliksi. Kyllä, käytän saksia, joita pidät lääkepankkiin.
Hei, Walgreens sekä Walgreens.com ostajat! Tee 3000 Walgreens Balance-etuuspisteitä ostaa 15 dollaria tai paljon muuta valita Neutrogena-tuotteet 28. elokuuta 2015.
Kuten öljytön kosteusvoide, öljy-alueet minun käsissäni todella pitämällä se, kuten otsani, nenä sekä leuka. Minun posket, jotka ovat aina eepoisesti kuivia, vaatimus paljon enemmän kuin tämä, joten minun on kerrottava ylimääräinen, rikkaampi kosteusvoide päälle.
Voin edelleen hyödyntää sitä tapahtumassa, kun ihoni nousee paljon enemmän kohti ylimääräistä öljyistä puolta, mutta uskon, että se todennäköisesti toimii paljon paremmin, jos sinulla on suoraketjuinen tai tyypillinen iho.
Mitä kehon pesu, wow! – Se haisee hämmästyttävää. Pidän Crisp Citrusy Tuoksuista sekä tämän kivistä.
Ja se toimii myös hyvin, koska rintani breakout ovat käytännössä täysin poissa. Ei paljon enemmän aggro punaisia pimples, samoin kuin jäljellä olevat muut ei-aggro pimples, jotka ovat pieniä sekä näyttävät he ovat viimeisissä jaloissaan. Lisäksi se ei kuivunut ihoni.
Zit minun bum (olen hullu, vai eikö se olisi erinomainen nimi bändille?) On myös vähemmän agonisointi sekä pienempi.
Kaiken kaikkiaan minulla oli erinomainen kokemus näistä akne-taistelutuotteista, samoin kuin tunnen paljon positiivisempaa selkeämpi iho.
Olen valmis sinulle, syksy!
Ystävällinen yhteisön charmin addict,
