New Skincare regime

For a good while my skin and I were getting along well we had a nice little realationship going on - I look after you and you look after me! However, in the past 2 or 3 weeks my skin has started to rebel.

My main problems are that my t-zone is very congested and has a lot of blackheads, I also have some scarring in my chin area from spots that I have picked and won't leave alone (I know cardinal sin but at least I can admit I do it - who doesn't love a good pick!!) On top of all this I can also be a bit lazy at the end of a long day and want a quick fix so normally rely on the good ol wipes to wipe away the grime of the day and crawl into bed.

I have decided to take my skin in hand and do something about it. I have made enquiries into getting a course of glycolic peels or microdermabrasion in the hope of getting rid of the dreaded blackheads once and for all, but 2 things put me off - the cost involved and the fear of having a complete breakout during the treatment!



So in the meantime I am just upping my skincare regime to see what I can do about it myself. I saw a great video The product that changed my skin by the lovely dazzledust25 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Bw72tmeHM about her miracle glycolic cleanser and am hoping to pick this up on sunday. In the meantime I am using my neutrogina 2 in 1 face wash to cleanse my face every night. Then I apply Clarins face treatment oil just before bed. This oil is gorgeous, the smell alone reminds me of having a facial and I wake up with super soft skin. I read somewhere that you should treat oily skin with oil and despite what you may think I think its true!!



My skin is beginning to improve but I am aware that I still need to tackle the issue of the texture and scarring and blackheads!! Hopefully the Profound skincare Advanced performance glycolic cleanser will be the answer to all my prayers!!
