how to properly wash your face
this post is a bit of a spinoff from my last post, 'how you can reduce acne'. read it here.
now, properly washing your face has many benefits, such as:
removing buildup washing your face clears away dirt, oil and other unwanted debris, preventing clogged pores and acne breakouts.
boosting hydration regular cleansing can help to maintain proper hydration levels, which keeps the skin smooth.
maintaining clear skin it helps to manage the production of sebum and supports proper pore size, contributing to clearer skin.
enhancing the effectiveness of products clean skin allows for better absorption of skincare products like moisturizers and treatments.
promoting healthy skin by removing impurities and maintaining hydration, face washing contributes to overall skin health.
here's some steps, how to properly wash your face:
start by removing any makeup with a gentle makeup remover or micellar water. it's important to remove makeup because clean skin absorbs skincare products better, making them more effective. never, and i repeat NEVER wear makeup to bed. this will lead to breakouts and acne. your skin needs time to breathe.
2. wet your face with warm water. using hot water can strip your skin of natural oils and cold water isn't as effective at cleaning.
3. use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser suitable for your skin type and apply it to your face in a circular motion. make sure to be gentle. avoid scrubbing your skin harshly as this can cause irritation.
4. rinse off the cleanser completely with warm water.
5. pat your face dry with a clean towel. i use a face washer (which is like a tiny, thin towel) and change it every 2-3 uses. do not rub when you are drying your face, as this can irritate the skin.
6. apply a moisturizer suitable for your skin type to keep your skin hydrated. personally, i only use moisturizer in the mornings, mixing it with my sunscreen. at nighttime, i prefer to just wash my face and if i have pimples, i will apply a spot treatment.

Working advices for my gorgeous girlies that also struggle with acne because we don’t gatekeep here:
Double cleanse - use cleansing oil or micellar water to remove makeup and sunscreen bc just cleanser on itself won’t get rid of all products. It will lead to clogged pores and new breakouts - we don’t need that
Use sunscreen - UV actually darkens your post acne and makes it harder to fade it out. Also a lot of uv makes you breakout and may give you skin cancer, so use dat spf
Use paper towels when drying your face - your towel has way more bacteria than a single use paper towel, and you basically smear it all over your face. You may also use regular face towels - that’s more eco friendly, but you have to wash them after every use
Change the pillowcase - basic af but the more you use it, the more bacteria is on the fabric, and you put your face on it every night
DONT POP YOUR PIMPLES
Always check your skincare and makeup for pore-clogging ingredients. These are one of the main reasons why you breakout, so before purchasing any products - find them online, copy ingredients list and paste here. If it has any comedogenic ingredients - don’t get it, it’ll likely make you breakout even despite salicylic/mandelic acids in it. You may also download an app called Acne-Safe for free
Use retinoids - now DONT use shit like adapalene, unless prescribed. I do recommend using retinAl because it works faster than retinOl but doesn’t have such severe purging period. Remember to include it in your skincare routine gradually, or you’ll burn your skin
Eat right - also basic af but your gut health directly affects your skin. Obviously you will still breakout if you eat tons of sweets or junk food, even despite using good skincare. It doesn’t mean you have to restrict yourself from eating what you want, just know a golden mean
Don’t give up - having acne is challenging, you may avoid looking at yourself or taking photos, it’s a big insecurity for many, but you’ve got this. With some set routine and correct products you will one day reach that dreamt of clear skin, just don’t give up🩷
I hope it helps and if you have any tips yourself - share them in comments🩷

Hey there
I have pimples popping out since the past few days.And right now I’m on my period.But I didn’t used to have so many of these pimples.They’re not too big.And one has even left its mark on my cheekbone and I honestly hate it.I wonder how I can get rid of that mark and these pimples.And why I got them in the first place.
Hi love! It's really common to get more (or only get) acne during the week before or the week of your period due to the rise (Ovaluation to menstruation) or lack of progesterone (onset of your period) levels. These hormone fluctuations can increase the oil production in your skin, resulting in more clogged pores/acne.
Some of the best ways to help manage hormonal acne are through diet, skin hygiene, cardio/movement, and managing stress levels.
For diet, try to incorporate plenty of green vegetables, B vitamins, omega 3s/healthy fats, and plenty of fresh produce generally while avoiding dairy, soda, and highly processed foods.
For skincare, wash your face 2x/day, change your pillow cases weekly, towels at least weekly, wash your face and pat it dry with a disposable towel, don't touch your face without washing your hands, or consider trying retinoids.
Exercise, walks, sex, and meditation are great stress management tools. Also, for some people, birth control pills/IUDs are really helpful to control acne if you want to explore that option.
Hope this helps xx

My skin is clear for the first time since I hit puberty and nothing worked for me including prescription stuff and obviously it got worse when I started T but anyway I wanted to share what product I used and how in case it helps anyone else who’s been struggling to find something that fucking works
Noxzema baby
Get the one with eucalyptus extract
I suggest buying it in a store instead of online sometimes they leak during long distance shipping or are affected by cold/heat during transport
Target Walmart CVS Walgreens all seem to carry it
I got mine at Target, current price is $4.49 some places mark it up a couple of bucks
There’s a few different ones but this is the exact one I got so I don’t know if the others will work just as well or not
Buy 2 since they’re cheap this way you can put one on your sink and one in your shower if you’re like me and have problems doing things like taking your meds if they aren’t right in front of you etc. this will make it far more likely you’ll stick with doing it at least once a day I’m serious please buy 2 of them bc it won’t work if you can’t stick with the routine of at least once a day ideally twice
I wash my face in the morning when I wake up and then in the evening when I get back from work and take a shower that’s when I use the one in the shower; if you forgot to wash your face in the morning at least if you take a shower every day if you have one in the shower it’ll be easy to make yourself do it
I also use a very soft wash cloth to apply the cream, getting it wet with warm/hot water, putting a teaspoon size dollop on the cloth, and rubbing it in circular motions around my face very gently.
I think the soft wash cloth is important don’t use your fingers just hang one wash cloth over the faucet to dry and the other in the shower on the rack that way it’s right there.
Also once I’m done rubbing it into my skin I rinse the wash cloth of all the product and use it to remove the product from my face using the same circular motions whilst continually rinsing the cloth out. I think this is essential so you don’t leave any product on your face that may irritate your skin. You rub the product in deep with the cloth and then you remove the product just as vigorously with the cloth instead of a quick little rinse. Plus you keep your hands from touching your face.
Doing it this way twice a day (some days was only once a day) for 3 weeks now my skin is clear. I started noticing improvement after 5 days.
It’s the only product I’ve used that doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or tight after.
I don’t know if moisturizing your face with anything will affect the results but I did not use any other product on my face no moisturizer nothing. My skin feels normal not all oily or dry.
YMMV but this worked for me so maybe it’ll work for you

how to reduce acne (and what is acne)
acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. it typically results in whiteheads, blackheads or pimples that can appear on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders. acne is most prevalent among teens but can affect people of all ages. several factors contribute to acne, such as excess oil production, buildup of dead skin cells, bacterial growth and inflammation.
acne is not inherently 'bad' but it is a source of discomfort for many people. while acne itself is not a bad thing, it can lead to potential complications if not managed properly, such as scarring or emotional distress.
when reading this post, it is important to remember that everyone's skin is different and what works for one person may not work for another. i'd like to add that i am not a dermatologist, and this post is written with my own experience in mind as well as research online.
reducing acne involves a combination of skincare practices and lifestyle adjustments. here are some recommended actions:
properly wash your face cleanse your face twice daily to remove excess oil, sweat and dirt. some common face washing mistakes include using the wrong cleanser, over-washing your face, under-washing your face, the wrong water temperature and using a dirty washcloth. don't worry if this all seems confusing, here's a post on how to properly wash your face.
know your skin type use products suitable for your skin type only--oily, dry, combination or sensitive. you can find this out by visiting a dermatologist or (alternatively) researching the skin types and seeing which best matches your skin.
moisturise moisturiser curbs dryness, which balances oil production in your face and therefore helps to prevent acne. choose a non-comedogenic moisturiser to not clog your pores.
consider over-the-counter treatments think about acne treatments with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.
stay hydrated drink plenty of water to maintain skin hydration. good hydration helps to maintain skin elasticity, supports the skin's protective functions and prevents sunburn, sensitivity and oiliness. women should drink about 2.7L of fluids every day (including water, other beverages and food).
limit makeup use minimal makeup and ensure that it is non-comedogenic. don't stop wearing makeup if it is something you enjoy, however, try to limit it in acne-strong areas.
don't touch your face this is a big one, and yet so many people do it. keep your hands away from your face to prevent the spread of bacteria. seriously, you use your hands for so much--you don't want the germs of everything you've touched on your face.
limit sun exposure protect your skin with appropriate sunscreen. and remember to re-apply! limiting sun exposure also reduces skin cancer risk. balance is key, though, because the sun is necessary for vitamin d production and maintaining circadian rhythms.
exercise regularly physical activity can help reduce stress, which may contribute to acne.
enjoy a healthy diet eating a well-balanced diet can support skin health. consider reducing dairy and high glycemic foods. a diet with a low glycemic index may help balance hormone levels, which is the same effect when insulin spikes occur less. essential nutrients promote skin health and help to repair and maintain the skin barrier.
invest in stress management find ways to reduce stress, such as journaling or going for a walk. stress can worsen acne. this is because, under stress, the body's healing process slows down, meaning acne can take longer to heal and become more severe. stress hormones can also increase oil production, leading to clogged pores.

Honey is a fantastic natural ingredient that can effectively hydrate the skin and fade acne scars. Its humectant properties enable it to attract and retain moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and supple. Additionally, honey contains antioxidants and antibacterial properties that help fight acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. When applied topically, honey promotes the healing process of acne scars by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. So, incorporating honey into your skincare routine can be a beneficial and natural way to achieve hydrated and scar-free skin.

How can deal with acne?
Here are some tips to manage acne
Dealing with acne effectively involves a combination of good skincare habits, treatments, and lifestyle adjustments. Here are some tips to manage acne and promote clearer, healthier skin:
1. Follow a Gentle Skincare Routine
Cleanse Twice Daily: Use a mild, non-comedogenic cleanser morning and night to remove excess oil, dirt, and makeup without irritating your skin.
Moisturize Daily: Even oily skin needs hydration. Choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin balanced and prevent it from producing more oil.
2. Use Acne-Fighting Products
Salicylic Acid: A gentle exfoliant that helps to unclog pores and reduce inflammation.
Benzoyl Peroxide: Kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces oil production. Start with a lower concentration (e.g., 2.5%) to avoid irritation.
Tretinoin (Vitamin A Derivative): Promotes skin cell turnover and helps prevent clogged pores. Prescription-strength Tretinoin (like A Ret 0.025% Gel) is effective for moderate to severe acne but should be used under a dermatologist's guidance.
3. Avoid Touching Your Face
Avoid picking or squeezing pimples, as this can lead to scarring and spread bacteria, making acne worse.
4. Use Non-Comedogenic Makeup and Sunscreen
Opt for products labeled "non-comedogenic" to avoid clogged pores. Sunscreen is especially important, as it protects against hyperpigmentation and irritation, particularly if you’re using acne treatments that make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
5. Eat a Balanced Diet
Foods high in sugars and dairy have been linked to acne flare-ups in some people. Focus on a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains, and drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
6. Manage Stress
High stress can cause hormonal imbalances that lead to acne. Incorporate stress-relieving practices like exercise, meditation, or hobbies into your routine.
7. Consult a Dermatologist if Needed
If acne is severe, persistent, or causing scarring, a dermatologist can recommend stronger treatments like oral antibiotics, hormonal treatments, or retinoids for better control.
Managing acne takes patience and consistency. With a well-rounded approach that includes good skincare habits, acne-specific products, and a healthy lifestyle, you can significantly improve your skin’s health and appearance over time.

Face icing
Facial icing is exactly what it sounds like, the process of applying ice to your face. Low temps causes blood to rise beneath the surface of the skin, which has a variety of benefits.
The benefits of icing your face
Reduces swelling, puffiness and tenderness : The cold helps help drain excess fluids from the lymphatic system, which also help decrease facial puffiness.
Lessens the appearance of under-eye bags : The same lymphatic drainage that reduces overall puffiness can specifically reduce the appearance of a puffy under-eye area. Gently icing under the eyes can help release fluid buildup, drain toxins and cause a tightening effect.
Brightens your complexion : Who needs top-of-the-line highlighter when an ice cube can give you the same glow for free? Icing constricts the blood vessels is your face, which can lessen the appearance of pores and wrinkles and make you look lighter, brighter and more radiant overall.
Free and easy to do : You don’t need any fancy equipment or expensive products to ice your face. For exactly zero dollars, it offers an easily accessible way to tend to your skin care needs.
How to safely ice your face
All you need to ice your face is, well, some ice. But Scarso doesn’t recommend it applying it directly to your face on its own, as it could cause irritation and redness.
Instead, wrap an ice cube in a thin cloth, which will protect the skin on your face and your hands, and begin to lightly massage your face. “Rub the ice around your face in a circular motion,” she advises. “You want constant movement.”
Lightly massage the following areas:
- Around your mouth
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Forehead
- Jaw
- Nose
Don’t let the ice rest on any portion of your skin for too long, as it could cause that aforementioned irritation and redness — and even frostbite. And do remember to moisturize after icing your face so that your skin doesn’t dry out.
My personal recommendation and opinion : As someone who suffers from acne, I do not recommend buying the Ice cube mold. The idea that I will icing my face with an ice cube and then put it back in the freezer or add some water to the mold and not be able to disinfect it the right way definitely turned me off the idea of buying this product. But this is my opinion on this product, everyone has a different experience.
