Skincare is something that I am incredibly passionate about.  This is because I feel more confident when my skin is clear. The most important things for your skin is to completely remove your makeup each night and moisturize.

These are my steps to maintaining clear healthy skin: AM

1.  Splash warm water on my face and take a wet soft facecloth to remove any surface pollutants.

2.  Use a small amount of mild face wash.  My favourite brands for face wash are Simple & Aveeno.

3.  Use a generous amount of oil-free moisturizer.  I am currently using the Aveeno Naturals moisturizer.


In the morning it is important to refresh my skin as well as maintain it's moisture.  I don't like to go over board in the morning.

Maintaining clear skin: PM

1.  Use an acne face wash.  My favourite brand is Clean & Clear.  I find that it works well.

2.  Then I will use a face toner because I will occasionally still have some makeup left on my face.  It is incredibly important to remove all traces of makeup before going to bed.

3.  Acne medication often dries out my skin so I must use a more intense moisturizer.  I will either use a nightime face cream such as Nivea, or a face oil like l'Oreal.
