MY JOURNEY TO CLEAR SKIN
Hello Beautiful People,
Who doesn’t
want a clear beautiful glowing skin? I never had a happy, clear, glowing skin. Unfortunately,
that’s just something I did not get in my goody bag of genetics. But nevertheless
I have horribly annoying, dry, sensitive, acne prone skin. Good news is that I know
I’m not the only one out there that struggles with stubborn skin. While that doesn’t
really make those “bad” days any better, I have tried a lot of products and
have learned a lot of tricks.
Being honest with you guys I don’t really need all that make
up and I don’t even put on a bb-cream at its simplest on a daily basis. Just a
bit of moisturiser on my t zone because it gets really dry and I'm good to go.
Despite the fact that I have not been used to so much
make-up I tend to break out pretty easily. So yes, I do try and do everything I
can to manage my skin and keep it healthy.
I know I’m not alone when it comes to moderate/severe acne,
so hopefully this will help a few of you. If you do suffer from acne, just know
that people don’t notice your blemishes as much as you think and you are
beautiful individual inside out. Everyone has some kind of insecurity, so don’t
let your acne get you down! Now let’s get to it
Having said I had horrible acne it is for sure that I have
tried a wide range of facial cleansers over the time. I would like to share all
of the cleansers I have used and which I have found to be more suitable for
dry-sensitive skin.
[1] KERACNYL
FACIAL CLEANSER:
This was the first ever cleanser I have used for my acne which
was supposedly the dangerous form of all times. I had third degree acne when I was
16 and pretty much at college level. Now the very first thing I did is consulted
my dermatologist and she recommended keracnyl cleanser and some ointment which ran
out of my mind for my acne. It was a pretty good one and it then became my holy
grail product for 3-4 years. I would break out once in a month but it wasn't that
severe. It took almost 2-3 months for my acne to go off and I had absolutely
minimal spots and gracefully I didn't have any scaring.
It was initially priced at Rs 300/- and then after 2-2.5 Yrs
approximately the price shot up to Rs 430/- . Despite me using it regularly for
years I would have acne every now and then. Not so severe though. But also because
the price range I decided to discontinue it.
[2] DERMADEW ACNE SOAP:
This acne bar caught my attention when my younger sister was
using it. She had minor acne and so the dermatologist
recommended her to use this acne bar. As
I was already in search of a cleanser I switched on to the dermadew acne soap
and noticed that it works pretty much
fine in reducing my acne spots and also active acne. It was pretty reasonable at
a price of Rs115/- . The only flaw I could relate to is it would make my skin
so much dry but it was not bothering me much because my routine already had a moisturizer.
[3] NEUTROGENA
OIL FREE ACNE WASH:
I was using dermadew for almost
a year and then during winters I couldn’t bear with my dry skin and moreover I had
almost clear skin during these years, Just an active pimple during those days
of the month and then it would vanish. I decided to try out a subtle acne face
wash which I would continue using as a staple product in life. I gave Neutrogena
oil free acne wash a try and got addicted to it. I almost finished 4-5 bottles
and still use it.
I would recommend people to use
this product if they have acne prone skin as a regular face wash with a scrub
from its own range.
Over the years I have noticed a
unique behaviour of my skin. I call it unique because I tend to usually break
out in the last three months of year and
have been noticing it for the past 3-4 years and the rest of the months I
have a clear skin.
From the past 2 months I had
series of weddings and I do not understand what came as a triggering factor. My
skin broke out so much . I immediately started using dermadew with two of the
ointments which my dermatologist recommended me (Faceclin and adalene nano gel).
These three products are a life
saver for my skin. They suit my skin type and I often use a moisturizer which
is aloe based (elovera) if the soap tends to dry out my skin.
So this was it. Hope you guys enjoy and have a
good day!
Xoxo,
Amal ansari
