My face can’t really give a testimony to the products I want
to highlight since along the way, I’ve experimented with other brands that
really didn’t agree with my skin. My skin, for some strange reason quickly gets
darkly scarred if ever I give in to the temptation of touching a bump or
pimple. What’s worse, is my constant battle with PMS that dispatches a new batch
of acne that tempts me to touch. While I’ve discovered a few brands over the
years that don’t cause my skin negative reactions, I’m still very open to
discovering more organic-based products that contain fewer chemicals.
I have a friend, who was a University roommate that still
has flawless skin and she rarely uses makeup. Her secret? Water….just water! She
rinses with water! Someone asked her how she got rid of the oils on her skin, and
again she simply responded “Water”. As a Chemistry expert, she knows that most
of the skincare products we use contain chemicals that are too harsh for our
skin.
Unfortunately for me, the one product I can swear by is
pretty harsh..but it actually works! So here are some of the skin-care products
that I’m really fond of:
#1
This is amazing!!! AAAAAND it actually works!! It stops
pimples from maturing and has prevented many catastrophes in my life, once I
acted swiftly.
#2
So, as far as I can tell, this has been working well also. I
don’t seem to have breakout issues when I use this wash. It may be a bit harsh
for some, but effective.

If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it…. No need to change a
product if it’s been working! I was introduced to Clean and Clean products, as
a teenager when a representative came to my High school. As mentioned in an
earlier blog, moisturising is very important. For me, that also means extra
help to prevent acne. My sister told me that the tingles she felt on
her face after using it was scary for her. Not a product for everyone I guess...

Clean and Clear has been such a household name for so
long and hasn't caused me any problems, so it makes sense that I try out other products that they have. I was told
that these washes are more suited to dry skin, so I should really be using their
cream-based versions. However, I just love the feel of dry, clean skin after
and the lovely subtle scents of both products.

So this was a discovery I stumbled upon. In my search to
diversify my options, I looked to organic and plant-based products. I was
informed that Tamanu oil would naturally help eradicate dark spots. Just a warning, according
to my husband, it smells terrible, so I suggest you mix it with some other
product or oil that can make the scent more tolerable.
Nice read Cherisse. I usually don't have problems with acne but, like your friend, I also have been using soap and water . I don't believe in using too many chemicals or makeup on my face. Was interested in seeing the natural products one u posted , the last one , but the pic is a bit unclear. Very interesting info on the products thanks for sharing !
ReplyDeleteOhh...Thanks for the feedback. It's Tamanu oil. Will amend for clarity :)
