Night routine for acne prone skin
The good news is that this is a lazy girl night
routine. Being lazy and also having tonnes of acne can be a pain in the butt
hence I came up with this three step routine which you can follow every night
before going to bed.
The products that I use are:
- The Body Shop tea tree face wash – Rs. 695
- The Body Shop tea tree oil – Rs. 695
- Sephora Moisturizing Body Lotion – Rs. 800
I know that these products are overpriced but I don’t like to
compromise the quality of my products when it comes to my face. Also I have
tried hundreds of face wash for my stubborn acne and found this one to actually
work on my skin however you can use any face wash that suits your skin. About
the body lotion that I’m using on my face, I don’t have any facial moisturizer
and I’m too lazy to hunt for a good moisturizer therefore here I am
embarrassing myself on my blog. You can use any moisturizer that you like. Anyways
Step 1
Wash your face thoroughly using the face wash. Make sure your
face has no greasy feel after rinsing. Not keeping your face clean is one of the causes of acne as it provides suitable conditions for bacteria to grow. This is a key step to get good results.
Step 2
This is the most important step. Take few drops of the tea
tree oil using cotton or a cotton swab and press it gently on your pimples.
Make sure you do not apply it anywhere else since tea tree oil is used to dry
the pimple hence if you apply anywhere else it will end up drying your skin. If
you feel the tea tree oil is very strong you can dilute it using coconut
oil.
Step 3
As I mentioned above that tea tree oil is used to dry out
pimples. It will tend to dry out your skin. Also since we got rid of the
natural oils of the face by using face wash it is now time to moisturize your
skin. Take some good facial moisturizer and evenly apply it to your face. If
you’re feeling extra lazy you can even add a few drops of tea tree oil to your
moisturizer and apply the mixture to your face hence skipping the 2nd
step.
Note: Do not
expect to notice any changes immediately after 2-3 days. It will take few weeks to see visible results. I will however not say that this has given me
100% results but I can surely say that it has reduced my acne by a greater
extent and using the moisturizer has in fact made my skin softer. You can never completely get rid of acne without making changes to your diet, but that is a whole new story. Stay tuned if you want to learn more about tips to get rid of acne. Please share and help more lazy fellas out.
