How To Get Clear/er Skin ~
Disclaimer these are just tips I've found helpful so they may not work for everyone!
► Double Cleanse Your Face!
Washing your face with an oil-based cleanser, then a water-based cleanser is a really good place to start for clear skin. I've been doing this for a while and I barely breakout, just be consistent.
► Use Toner!
After cleansing, toner takes care of any impurities that still may be on your skin depending on if you wear makeup. This also helps your skin get the most out of skincare products. You want that mask at it's full potential.
► Clay Face Masks/ Mud Face Masks
(1-3 Times A Week!) These type of masks clean your pores and also are great for when you have breakouts. If you haven't cleansed/cleansed properly for a few days, use a clay/mud mask after cleansing to make up for it and keep things on track. Oily/acne prone skin types can do these up to 3 times a week while other skin types can do this less.
► Let Your Face Air Dry After Cleaning!
If you don't wash your face towel often, or are worried about bacteria, wipe off most of the excess water with your hand and let your face air dry after cleansing. This is also useful if you have sensitive skin, personally my skin feels better doing this.
►Wash After A Workout!
If you're really sweaty and still have things to do the rest of the day I would cleanse so that sweat isn't on your skin. Double Cleansing isn't necessary because all you need is a water-based cleanser since water-based cleansers take care of sweat. So cleanse with any micellar water/foam cleanser/facial bar you want and if you don't want to moisturize again, spray on some facial mist. I like doing this to refresh myself.
► Cut Out Soda!
I know it may be hard but it'll be work it! Cutting out sugar in general is great but if you just cut out or drink less soda, that will make a difference as it's loaded with sugar. Even though diet doesn't personally make me breakout, I limit the sugar so that my skin isn't dull.
► Drink Water!
If you don't want to eat healthy at least drink more water so your skin is getting some love! I know a healthy diet doesn't help everyone in having clear skin but water is important.
► Wash Pillow And Pillow Covers!
My mom taught me this and it honestly saved me and my skin! If you're ever going through a break out that just seems to not go away (Looks more like an irritated break out) I suggest washing your pillows and pillow covers, as they are covered in bacteria and other oils.
► Sleep!
This is obvious because sleep makes everything better.
