That dreaded task of washing your face before bed; as women we all know it too well. It feels so good, yet its so tempting to just crawl into bed and forget about it. I use to just forget about it, I thought “whats the point? I’m just gonna break out anyways!” Until I discovered that I’ve been doing it all wrong!
I was minding my own business one day, tapping through Instagram stories when a girl that worked at Colourpop Cosmetics said “If you aren’t DOUBLE cleansing you’re doing it wrong.” Instantly I thought to myself “are you serious?! I already have to wash my face once and now you want me to do it again? All before I can go to bed.” Seemed liked a lot to me. 😛 But basically what this girl was saying is that you want something that will rid your face of all the make-up so that you can then cleanse with something that will rid your face of all the dirt and oil that’s underneath. Seems pretty smart, right?
So the next time I was in Ulta I thought “what the heck! I’ll try it.” I was already using a great face wash that took all my make up off so whats one more step? I stumbled onto Soap and Glory purely by accident, their packaging really drew me in.
I cant say I really struggled with acne but then again I thought that always having 2 to 3 pimples on your face was totally normal. Until I started using this method and realized it’s not! Since starting this the only time i get acne now is right before my time of the month and even that is rare!
You probably think I’m going to try and sell you some really expensive face wash, right? WRONG! What I use is totally affordable! And the best part? One bottle has lasted me over a year! (this is just what I use that has worked really well for me, I think with any 2 step system you’ll see results. I just love how affordable this has been)
For the 2 products I’m gonna share it costs right around $20 bucks. I have the best luck finding both at Ulta but every once and awhile I get lucky at Target. Its getting harder and harder for me to find Step 1 so I usually end up ordering off amazon where its the cheapest.
That’s it! I’m telling you implementing these 2 steps have been HUGE in my skincare routine. I’ve been doing it for over a year and I never break out anymore! My skin is very sensitive and very dry and neither of these products irritate that in the slightest! Its an added bonus how affordable they are! I also haven’t experienced any hormonal, pregnancy acne for the past 7 months so that’s a win win in my book!
SO if you’re one that wears make-up everyday, you aren’t double cleansing and you struggle with acne I highly suggest giving this a try! It has completely changed the face washing game for me and on days where I don’t wear make-up I just use the Vitamin C wash, I think that alone has changed the way I wash my skin. I actually look forward to washing my face just for the simple fact that it keeps my acne away!
