Skin Care Sunday | Favorite Products for Acne

Hello!! It's been a while since I did a Skin Care Sunday post! Today I'm going to share my favorite products to use for acne. Most of these aren't specifically for acne, but they are what works for me and what I use to keep any acne or belmishes at bay. 

I do like to use mostly organic stuff on my face, but the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser has way less ingredients in it than other non organic face cleansers. I started using this about 2 years ago and it cleared my skin up really well. This isn't my current everyday cleanser, but it'd still one that I love and use quite often. 

The Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel is something I've talked about a lot recently but it also does really great things for my skin. It's very soothing to any problem areas on my face. 

Aloe Gel is a recent discovery of mine (for other than sun burns!) and I started using it as a spot treatment to help the healing process of blemishes. I have stated using it all over my face as well, after I use a toner and before my mousturizer at night time.  

 I have mentioned before that I love Michael Todd Skin Care and I had a set for Acne prone skin that was amazing. In currently using a different one, and it's no where near as good, but the first two products here are what I have left from the acne set. Michael Todd products are all organic and I've had really great results while using them. 

The Jojoba Charcoal Scrub is my favorite face scrub/exfoliater. I use this about twice a week and it's the best one I've ever used. Charcoal is great for your skin to draw out impurities!

The two face masks that I like to use are the Michael Todd Kaolin Clay Mask and the Lush Mask of Magnaminty. Lush also uses all natural ingredients and this is one I've been using for about 2 years also. It's done great things for any acne and oiliness in my skin. The Kaolin Clay mask is super gentle on the skin and always makes my face feel so clean and fresh. 

Spot Treatments

I mentioned that I like to use Aloe as a spot treatment but I wanted to share some other things I like to use too. 

-Face Masks. I sometimes just dab a little bit of either of my face masks on a blemish and leave it on overnight. It helps to dry up the spot.

-Toothpaste is also a good spot treatment that helps dry up blenishes. I leave it on overnight like I would the face mask. This is something I've been doing for 10+ years. 

-If I can tell a spot is infected I like to use peroxide or rubbing alcohol on it. This cleans the bacteria and helps to dry out the spot as well. I know some people say not to do this and it helps slow healing but it has always worked for me!

Favorite Lush Products- My Must Haves

Hi :) Today I'm going to share what my top favorite products from Lush are. I'm calling these my 'Lush Must Haves' because they are all products that I have fell in love with and keep repurchasing (or will repurchase). 

From left to right- Enchanted Eye Cream, Charity Pot hand and body lotion, Mask of Magnaminty, Tea Tree Water toner. 

Enchanted Eye Cream- I've been using this for a few months now and it's my favorite eye cream that I've ever tried. I was sold on this product because when I asked about it while I was in Lush, someone who worked there demonstrated it on herself. She put it under one eye and you could immediately see the difference between her two under eye areas. The one with the eye cream instantly looked brighter. I was amazed so I bought it lol! 

Charity Pot hand and body cream- This is my most recent purchase from lush. This small size of the lotion is only around $5 and it's one of those products that 'a little goes a long way'. This has a really unique scent to it that is kind of sweet (like chocolate but not quite chocolate) and I can't really put my finger on it or really describe how it smells. The scent isn't over powering like some of their products so it's really nice. This is really great for moisturizing and soaks into the skin really nice. 

Mask of Magnaminty- This is by far my favorite product from lush. I love this face mask and I totally sware by it. It's got a really minty/cooling affect and it's done such wonderful things for my skin. I've gone through so many of these and it's one I'll always repurchase. I have a full review for this here. 

Tea Tree Water toner- This is another product that I've repurchased and always will. This also have done amazing things for my skin. It's so refreshing and if you have oily skin I would highly recommend this to you!! I have a full review for this here.

Top pictures- Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb, bottom- You've been Mangoed Bath Melt.  These two are my favorite bath products from Lush. I can't leave the store without purchasing them. 

Dragon's Egg- Out of all the bath bombs I've tried this one if my favorite. It has a slight citrus scent to it and It turns the water mostly orange. This one is cool because after it starts dissolving it cracks open (like an egg lol) and a ton of glitter comes out. 

You've been Mangoed- This bath melt smells like heaven. Well, mangos but you know same thing. This also has a slight citrus scent but it's more sweet. Bath melts basically just melt in the water and are super moisturizing to your skin. I think (but could be wrong) that these are made with oils and they feel really silky while they are melting. I've also done a review for this here.
