How I Got Rid of Breakout and Transform My Skin completely!!?
( No Equipment Required)
📷
Hello beautiful~ Over the past year I have been struggling with hormonal acne that took over the chin and jaw area of my face. I did an INSANE amount of research to try and find natural cure for it. I did not want to take birth control or any kind of hormones but rather try and naturally balance my own. Here is everything I learned and what I did that FINALLY healed my skin.
Before going into detail, I would like to explain about my skin condition: sensitive skin, a mixture of oily, pustules around my jaw and under my neck due to hormonal conditions.
WHY I GOT BREAK OUT?

How my skin got swollen
Moving to a new place is all smiles and selfies… until that annoying pimple pops up. The first few day I came to Canada, It was a nightmare to my skin. The weather is too cold and dry compared to back home. Just right after going home from a quick shopping outside, literally my face got red and itchy, the acne ran from both sides of the face down to the chin and the neck. My face got swollen up so bad.
It kept getting worse because my skin got allergic to the new environment plus the hormonal changes.
MY SKIN CARE ROUTINE/PRODUCTS THAT SAVED MY SKIN! Then I put myself into a proper skin care routine. Because I am busy all the time, I keep the skincare routine simple and keep my face as clean as possible. These are golden rules I have followed:
1. Stop using all make-up products on the skin to help keep the pores cleared and clean. They also potentially the reason for your breakout! (back then I used to get addicted to the Cushion trend OMG big mistake sorry pores)
2. Perform basic skin care routine in morning and at night: Double cleansing!! The number one rule of skincare is cleansing your skin thoroughly to get dirt, pollution and oil off of it. If you take your skincare routine seriously, you probably know this. But, what you didn’t know is that double cleansing is the right way to get clean and glowing skin. The two-step process makes sure your skin is clean and fresh and every last bit of sweat, dirt, oil and makeup is washed off your skin, leaving it radiant and healthy. I have used Make up remover by Bioderma + La Roche Posay Cleanser. Here the tip: Always try to wash your face with the tip of the pinky fingers around the nose and palms gently, avoiding pressure on the skin causing wrinkles (No you go soft on your skin treat her like your treasure), apply lotion, serum, and apply acne cream to the acne areas. Try to gently tap the sensitive areas to avoid hurting/popping the acne.

3. Take up exercises: By increasing blood flow, exercise helps nourish skin cells and keep them vital. Working out helps tone muscles, of course. That doesn’t have a direct affect on skin, dermatologists say. Going to the gym, get sweated, eliminate toxins, release stress and sleep well. Do it again.
4. Eat clean: I have developed habits of drinking warm lemon water every morning plus 2 primrose oil capsules. Not only that I sip lemon water all day from my reusable cup, eat lots of green vegetables and say no to fried foods, salt, sugar such as fountain drink, Tim Horton and fast food. I always try to make food at home and be loyal to boiling or steaming cooking method. The result is I did save huge amount on eating out plus my body got so much lean and healthier inside out.

5. Do facial 1-2 times / month: I got professional facial treatment at the spa. The goal is to keep your face clean so that the skin care process is better absorbed. The most important thing is to choose a reliable spa and salon.

6. Sunscreen is our skin PROTECTOR. I use the Juice Beauty Oil-Free moisturizer SPF 30. Juice Beauty is a brand of organic skin care that is extremely healthy, and environment friendly. It absorbs well and I haven’t got any clogged pores from it yet! I could be out in the sun all day for exercises and still feel clean and moist with the sunscreen on. Remember to put sunscreen 20 minutes before leaving the house and apply every 2 hours under the sun. I have already noticed that it seems to be improving my skin texture which was a nice surprise! Love it and want to try more from this line. (Juice Beauty please sponsor me!!)
7. Last but not least: Wash pillowcases every week. Pillowcases contain lots of dead cells, dirt and not to mention drool of ours!! Every 2 days I flip the pillow upside down before going to bed and wash it every week. People may wash their pillow case every 4 days for the better but I’m lazy and afraid of ruining the pillow covers material so I always have some pillow cases in case to change and wash.Products that I have used (and loved):
Face Cleanser La Roche-Posay
Make up Remover : Bioderma
Face Spray : Rose Water
Blemishes Treat : Tea Tree Oil
Sunscreen Juice Beauty Spf 30 Oil Free Moisturizer/ Elta MD SPF 46

Helu có ce nào ở nước ngoài lúc mới sang bị break out tùm lum như mình k?? Ngày đầu sang đây vs mình là ác mộng. Thời tiết qá lạnh và khô so với ở Vietnam. Chỉ cần ra đường đi chợ thôi là về nhà mặt mình đã ửng đỏ khó chịu và nó lan từ hai bên mặt xuống cằm và cả cổ. Mặt thì sưng như heo huhu. Sau đó mình đưa mình vào khuôn khổ. Vì cũng đi lại bận bịu suốt ngày nên mình tiết chế qá trình skincare đơn giản và giữ mặt nguyên thuỷ nhất có thể. 1. Dừng tất cả sản phẩm make up trên da cho da đỡ bí (hồi đấy mình còn bị nghiện cushion ạ) 2. Thực hiện quy trình chăm sóc da cơ bản sáng tối: double cleansing ( tẩy trang bioderma + srm la roche posay) rửa mặt bằng đầu ngón út qanh cánh mũi và lòng bàn tay thật mềm mại, tránh tạo áp lực trên da gây ra nếp nhăn, đắp lotion, serum vit c, và bôi kem trị mụn vào vùng mụn . Cố gắng chỉ tap lên da thật nhẹ nhàng tránh làm thương tổn vùng da mụn. 3. Sinh hoạt “sạch”: tập gym => toát mồ hôi, đào thải độc tố, da đỡ bí bách ( bên này k hdong thể thao thì rất khó toát mồ hôi nhé), ngủ ngon và sâu hơn. 4. Ăn “sạch”: chanh nước ấm mỗi bsang+ 2v primrose oil, uống nc chanh loãng k đường cả ngày, ăn nhiều rau xanh và nói k vs đồ chiên rán, muối đường nhiều như Coke, fast food. Mình luôn cố gắng chế biến đồ ăn tại nhà và trung thành vs luộc hấp nướng. 5. Đi làm facial: 1-2 lần/ tháng mình đi lấy mụn ở spa. Mục đích là giữ mặt sạch để qá trình skin care hấp thụ tốt hơn. Qtrong là chọn 1 dc đáng tin cậy, có vệ sinh và thay dụng cụ thường xuyên là ok. 6. Kcn khi ra đường. Mình sd kcn của hãng Juice Beauty 1 thương hiệu skin care organic cực lành và bôi lên cực mê.
