Tips on how do I get an acne free face

Hello ladies! 

Today I'm gonna share some tips about how do I maintain a smooth and acne free skin ! 

Last year my face is very very very bumpy with full of red dots, small acne , big acne and large pores! 

Even foundation can't really cover well  :(  

(well of course, make up will make it worst . If you encounter such problem it's good to let your skin rest and keep clean until it recover) 

My worst face . One year ago . 

Tried a lot of different acne /combination skin care but none of them cure my problems. 

Until 

.

.

.

1) the suitable product for our skin!

Step 1 

CLEAN & CLEAR ESSENTIALS Foaming Facial Cleanser cleans skin and washes away problem-causing dirt, oil, and make-up to help skin stay clean and healthy. The rich lather is oil-free and gently removes dirt and oil without over-drying and leaves skin clean and refreshed.

Step 2

CLEAN & CLEAR ESSENTIALS Oil-Control Toner for Sensitive Skin contains salicylic acid acne-fighting medication that treats and helps prevent pimples.

Step 3 

CLEAN & CLEAR ESSENTIALS Moisturizer combines oil-free moisture with a proven acne-fighting ingredient. It can help to moisturize dry skin while treating and helping to prevent breakouts. It leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.

When I have acne problem the first thing appeared in my mind is Clean&Clear , 

I used it all the time while during my secondary school for 5 years!

 after collage my pimples is getting lesser & lesser probably hormone problem. 

and last year suddenly acne attack me again , straight away went to guardian get Clean&Clear products, it helps to clear your skin, prevent future breakouts and keep your skin looking healthy with our acne treatments. It took around 2 to 3 weeks to see the improvement of my skin.

best of all the price is very reasonable & I can get it anywhere :D 

2) Be happy & rested !!!!

Do something you like, you enjoy, you interested! 

people nowadays from 8am work until 6pm , dinner, shower and go to bed. 

where is your hobby? 

I like to hang out with friends , I like to listen music and movie ! 

-The sleep hormone melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland in the brain during hours of darkness and is switched off at dawn by the bright light of day. 

It helps you to sleep and regulates your body clock. 

-If you ignore your natural biological day/night rhythms by staying up very late, jetting across time zones, or working night shifts, you may pay the price with an out-of-synch body clock. Fatigue, lack of energy, skin problem , lapses in memory and concentration are typical symptoms.

Stress causes hormones to fluctuate and your body to produce extra sebum (oil), which can lead to acne. Stress can often also trigger you to eat worse and sleep less—both of which can contribute to making your acne worse. However, no need to stress more! You’d be surprised at how dancing around your room or laughing really hard with your best friend can help stress melt away.

3) drink lots of water!!!!!! 

Water Helps Keep Skin Looking Good. Your skin contains plenty of water, and functions as a protective barrier to prevent excess fluid loss. 

"Dehydration makes your skin look more dry and wrinkled, which can be improved with proper hydration,But once you are adequately hydrated, the kidneystake over and excrete excess fluids.

You can also help "lock" moisture into your skin by using moisturizer, which creates a physical barrier to keep moisture in.

4) Fruits & vegetables !!!

with lots of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is also a super antioxidant. It is needed for a strong immune system, radiant skin and helps blemishes heal properly. The best sources are blackcurrants, blueberries, broccoli, guava, kiwifruits, oranges, papaya, strawberries and sweet potatoes.

my favourite is broccoli & melon! 

Above is my tips on how to maintain an acne free face ! 

Hope it helps ! :D

she helped me squeeze out all the black heads and she said we have to clean them up, if not forever block there, no matter what skin care , how good is the skin care it also won't absorb into our face. 

SO 

my face is clean now, so I guess I can use better skin care now right =x

yea...without toner/essence for 2 weeks, I know how terrible I am 

so after the Mayfair facial I straight went to Pavilion Parkson SKII counter

This is what SKII beauty consultant get it for me, 

she said my skin is super dehydrate, that's why my pores, my pimples, my redness all came out 

due to Dehydrate, my skin will automatically create oil outside to protect my skin from dehydrate.

I am not oily skin, I am dehydrate ._. 

I got this set too ,

FACIAL TREATMENT CLEAR LOTION

This effective toning lotion with a mix of AHA and Pitera™ exfoliates dead skin cells and impurities. Its clarifying formula prepares the face for the rest of your skincare regimen.

TEXTURE

Light and watery, this toning lotion penetrates into the skin surface.

FACIAL TREATMENT ESSENCE

SK-II’s signature product, the much-loved and most awarded bestseller, Facial Treatment Essence has over 90% Pitera™, the miracle ingredient discovered over 30 years ago that remains essentially unchanged till today.

Its irreplaceable formula gently exfoliates the face and helps moderate the skin surface renewal cycle.

TEXTURE

This lightweight miracle water is quickly absorbed into the skin.

puffy sleepy eyes ._. took this in the early of the morning.

so basically I'll just put SKII Facial Treatment Clear Lotion on the cotton 

and wipe gently on my face. 

second step, I'll use SKII Facial treatment essence , also put a little amount on the cotton 

and wipe / dap gently on my face again. 

and you'll see some of the dead skin or dirty dust (or whatever) 

stick on your cotton.

TEXTURE

A small amount of this gel-type serum spreads evenly onto the face.

very very gently, very watery & not oily at all . absorb very quick into our skin .

I just get a small one instead ._. 

30ML 

this one 

is...if you wanna add radiant into your skin, you can get .

If you just want to make your skin texture improved , you can just hold this. 

wait your skin turn into not-bad , you can get this too add radiant .

ok, this is kinda rich, a bit oily for me. I only apply on night 

for dry skin you can apply on morning and night.

A luscious lotion with a blend of emollients and other oils, it penetrates the skin to effectively seal in moisture. It intensively restores balance to dry skin for a refined, radiant and even-toned finish.

TEXTURE

Rich and emollient, this milky lotion easily glides and blends into skin.

I've tried a lot lotion before, but most of them gives me a very oily feels, I don't really like it.

This one is still same, a bit oily, BUT better than the others brand. 

I also apply on night only. 

tried to all at once on day & night time, but i guess is a bit too heavy for my skin. 

so I just separate them to morning and night. 

The difference of Day 1 to Day 14. 

no more redness , no more skin tone uneven , Pimples much lesser .

skin texture improved a lot, radiant , not dull anymore .  

pores are slightly smaller too 

forehead still have a bit of pimples , but much much much better compared to previous 2 weeks.

Skin texture is totally different, my foundation can last longer, 

oil control is much better , now I can even no need apply any highlighter. 

my face already have natural radiant. 

yes, SKII is Very expensive, most of my friend told me, once you step into SKII ,

well, I guess yes? 

But there's a lot nice product out there too, I'll not only stick with SKII forever la. 

Hmm, so...yea. Why Not ? 

Expensive, but effective and fast .  Every women deserve it .

especially women over 25 years old, you better start to use anti ageing product already.
