A Guide to Taking Care of Your Skin

Your skin type matters

You may suspect you have dry, oily, or sensitive skin, but do you really know your skin type? Knowing your true skin type can help the next time you’re in the cosmetics aisle. In fact, using the wrong products — or even popularized Internet hacks — for your skin type could worsen acne, dryness, or other skin problems.

Read on to learn:

how to build your own skin care routine?

how to treat specific skin concerns like acne or scars

which DIY skin hacks aren’t healthy, even if they seem to work

Building a daily skin care routine

No matter what your skin type is, a daily skin care routine can help you maintain overall skin health and improve specific concerns like acne, scarring, and dark spots. A daily skin care routine has four basic steps you can do once in the morning and once before you sleep.

1. Cleansing: Choose a cleanser that doesn’t leave your skin tight after washing. Clean your face no more than twice a day, or just once, if you have dry skin and don’t wear makeup. Avoid washing for that squeaky-clean feeling because that means your skin’s natural oils are gone. Cleansers known to work well for all skin types include Cetaphil and Banila Clean It Zero Sherbet Cleanser.

2. Serums: A serum with vitamin C or growth factors or peptides would be better in the morning, under sunscreen. At night, retinol or prescription retinoids work best. Makeup Artist’s Choice has an effective vitamin C and E serum and retinol available.

3. Moisturizer: Even oily skin needs moisturizer, but use one that is lightweight, gel-based, and non-comedogenic, or doesn’t block your pores, like CeraVe’s facial lotion. Dry skin may benefit from more cream-based moisturizers like MISSHA Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Cream. Most brands will label their products as gel or cream on their packaging.

4. Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen with at least 30 SPF 15 minutes before heading outdoors, as it takes a while for sunscreen to activate. Darker skin tones actually need more sun protection because hyperpigmentation is harder to correct. Try EltaMD’s sunscreen, which offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

Choose products that fit your skin type and sensitivity, and remember to read the labels. Some products, such as retinol or prescription retinoids, should only be applied at night.

For all skin types

Stay hydrated.

Change pillow cases at least once a week.

Wash or wrap up hair before bed.

Wear sunscreen every day and apply 15 minutes before going out.

Start with a basic and simple routine to see how your skin reacts. Once you’re comfortable, you can then add extra products such as exfoliants, masks, and spot treatments to boost your skin’s health.

And don’t forget to patch test new products, especially if you suspect you have sensitive skin. This can help you identify potential allergic reactions.

To patch test a new product:

Apply a small amount of product on your skin in a discreet area, such as the inside of your wrist or your inner arm.

Wait 48 hours to see if there’s a reaction.

Check the area at 96 hours after application to see if you have a delayed reaction.

An allergic reaction may include irritation, redness, small bumps, or itchiness. If you notice these symptoms, wash the area you tested with water and a gentle cleanser. Then return the product and try another that better suits your skin type.

DIY hacks to avoid (even if everyone does it)

People report wonders from using DIY hacks like lemon juice and toothpaste for common skin problems like acne bumps and dark spots. Even award-winning actress Emma Stone claims her skin care secret is baking soda. But the truth is these hacks may cause more long-term harm than benefit because they can damage your skin’s barrier.

Avoid these DIY hacks

Lemon juice: It may have citric acidic, but it’s far too acidic and can cause dark spots to appear after sun exposure. It can also dry and irritate your skin.

Baking soda: At a pH level of 8, baking soda will stress your skin, significantly decrease your skin’s water content, and cause dry skin.

Garlic: In raw form, garlic can cause skin allergies, eczema, skin inflammation, and watery blisters.

Toothpaste: The ingredients in toothpaste may kill germs and absorb oil, but they can also dry out or irritate your skin.

Sugar: As an exfoliant, sugar is too harsh for the skin on your face.

Vitamin E: Topical application of vitamin E can irritate your skin and is not proven to improve scar appearance.

Some of these ingredients may be all natural and cost-effective, but they aren’t formulated for your skin. Even if you don’t feel immediate side effects, these ingredients can cause delayed or long-term damage. It’s best to use products formulated for your face. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist before trying DIY applications on your skin.

How to treat skin problems?

There are ways to tackle skin problems without damaging your skin. Just remember the number one rule of skin care: Don’t pick! Picking at acne, blackheads, scabs, or other skin problems can cause open wounds or darker skin spots known as hyperpigmentation. Open wounds can lead to infections, more acne, or scars. The deeper the wound, the more likely your skin will scar.

Here are some scientifically backed ways to treat problem areas.

Acne

Acne treatment depends on how deep or serious your acne is. Overall skin care is the most important step in treating acne, but for mild acne you can use nonprescription products from your local drugstore such as:

salicylic acid (Stridex maximum strength acne pads)

benzoyl peroxide (Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10 acne medication)

alpha hydroxy acids

adapalene

tea tree oil

Always apply sunscreen after using these products in the morning, since they can cause extra skin sensitivity.

For immediate, inflamed, and individual pimples, you can also try acne patches or stickers. These are clear, thick patches that work as spot treatments to help promote blemish healing and prevent infections. Like blister bandages, acne patches pull out the fluid, sometimes overnight. It’s best to use these before you sleep as makeup can’t cover them.

Sebaceous filaments

Sebaceous filaments are tiny, cylinder-like tubes in your pores that are whitish yellow. These are often confused with blackheads, but blackheads are actually a type of acne that’s oxidized. Sebaceous filaments can make your pores look bigger, and you may be tempted to remove them by pinching your skin or using pore strips. But these methods may have more side effects than benefits for your skin, especially if you don’t do them properly.

Overtime, you can also cause:

irritation

open pores and infection

dryness

redness

peeling

Topical preparations containing retinol or retinoids can help keep pores clear and clean. You may also find benefits from massaging your face with mineral or castor oil for one minute.

Another way of removing sebaceous filaments is with an extraction tool. This is a small metal instrument with a tiny circle at the end.

ALRIGHT HORMONAL TEENS WHO HAVE ACNE PLZ LISTEN UP CUZ I WISH I'DVE KNOWN THIS SOONER

(Btw if you do HAVE acne it's not that big of a deal, if anyone is judging you for it they've got their own issues. However sometimes we don't want acne because it makes US feel not very pretty or handsome or good inside, and that's why we choose to change it)

If you're like me, you have a lot of acne because

1) maybe you're neurodivergent! Washing bedsheets and pillow cases is hard, or you sleep on pillow pets and you don't know how to wash them

2) You pick at your skin! It happens, your brain needs to be stimulated, it doesn't make you bad

3) FUCKING GENETICS 😡 THANKS MOM

4) Poor diet! Whether that be for mental issues, no access to healthy foods, or you just prefer it, that's okay

5) You're on other hormones! Like, estrogen or testosterone, like meeeeeee

6) You forget to wash your face every day

7) You're stressed out! Life is a lot

Whatever the reason may be, hopefully some of this stuff will help you out. I felt like maybe I didn't deserve to take care of my acne because it would make me "less real" of a person (thanks mom), or because I didn't have a good diet and didn't wash my face every single day, three times a day

First things first- my skin texture is oily, very oily especially after testosterone, and I sweat like A. LOT. So I get a lot of white heads (small pimples that have a 'head' or visible white bump, that you can easily see), and a lot of blind pimples. Blind pimples are pimples that are painful, underneath the skin, and don't have a head. You can feel them if you drag your finger across your skin, but sometimes you can't always see them. They may show up as a red bump on your face, but without a head, and they feel very deep

For white heads, I use specifically Hero: Mighty pimple patch, the original (image below). The red box basically. But I pop the fucker first!! That way the patch sucks up all of the stupid shit in my face. It works for me! I know the instructions on the box are like put it on an unpopped white head or whatever, that shit didn't work for me.

Next! For blind pimples!!! I use the micropoint for blemishes shit, the blue/teal box. This stuff doesn't get rid of it usually, but it does help me get it way within a week. This stuff helps it come to a head on my face, from there I can pop it, stick the original patch on my face, and be good to go. Usually it takes 3 weeks to a couple of months to get blind pimples off my face, which PISSES ME OFF LMAO. They hurt too. You can also use hot water on a rag to soothe them, but that's never worked for me.

I have a lot of scars and dark spots on my face. It's just what happens when you pick at it, nothing to be ashamed of. For this, I use two things.

The first- Micropoint for dark spots. This really helped soothe my skin, and made my scars a lot smaller.

And also, my new favorite, color correcting green cream, rescue balm. This also made my scars just WAAAYYYY smaller, and did a better job for me than the micropoint, but both do the job for me.

I also wash my face with Cera Ve Oil Control facial cleanser!! This shit was SOOO GOOD for a lot of blind acne around my ears, but not really around my cheeks. It does definitely help me though, and it does prevent a lot of white heads that I would otherwise get. It also helps get rid of blind acne I get on the backs of my ears??? I don't know how they get there BUT FUUUUUUCK DOES IT PISS ME OFF! I also use it on my chest, my shoulders, and my back. Anywhere I get acne, boom, use it as a wash. I also use normal body wash AFTER the oil control. I'm just a sweaty boy, what can I say?

A lot of this stuff is around $15, and so it can be expensive as hell getting it. I've things like Persa-gel 10, Sr Ives Acne Control, normal hand soap, clean and clear morning burst, Biore, face masks... so many things. It's not even funny how much money I've spent on my face.

And truthfully, none of it worked. People say stick with it until you see a change, but if it's been a month or two, you should be seeing results.

I've tried more inexpensive options, but my face is very not into inexpensive options. If you have access to this stuff, this is exactly what worked for me, but a lot of it is just finding products your skin likes.

I don’t really talk about Beauty much on here anymore but

I wanted to just talk about my skin care routine because I just started one recently and I actually am seeing an improvement in my skin. I have combo skin and a decent amount of adult acne.

Morning:

Bliss-Make Up Melt Dry/Wet Gentle Jelly Cleanser

Clean and Clear-Persa-gel 10 if needed

Moisturizer (I use brandless but it’s just meh, I’ve ordered another one from another company and hope it’s better)

Evening:

Bliss-Make Up Melt Never Greasy Eye Makeup Remover

Bliss-Make Up Melt Dry/Wet Gentle Jelly Cleanser

Bliss-Pore Patrol Clay to Foam Purifying Cleanser

Moisturizer

And then twice a week I use The Ordinary’s AHA 30% BHA 2% peeling solution

My skin is doing pretty well. It’s soft but not oily and my acne is doing better (it’s also partially hormonal so what can I do).

#beauty #skin care #bliss #the ordinary #sounds like an ad #its not #i just found these products to he affordable and they work for me

Looking at some of your recent posts with pictures has made me jealous of how beautiful your skin is. How are you doing that?

Awww, thank you! My skin and I have been locked in a battle since I turned 13 but it seems to finally have settled... 18 years later. These days, I'm pretty happy with the regiment I use for my oily-as-fuck T zone.

I wash my face with lukewarm water and Soap & Glory Vitamin C Facial Wash.

I treat my usual problem areas (forehead & corners of my mouth) with Persa Gel, aka 10% benzoyl peroxide. (Once you start using Persa Gel, you have to keep using it. If you stop, your former problem areas will become problem areas again.)

I moisturize with Soap & Glory The Fab Pore microsmoothing lotion. It gives your face a really nice drink.

So, I do this in the morning and before I go to bed. Although while it helps cut down on the oiliness, I still have to use an oil-blotting sheet or two throughout the day.

And... that seems to do the trick! I also recommend Cetaphil gentle face wash and Lush's mattifying face lotion, Enzymion.

My Nightly Skincare Routine

If I wore makeup that day (5/7 days at least I do) I wipe my makeup off with a Neutrogena makeup wipe ( I use either Mi cellular water or Neutrogena eye makeup remover for my eye makeup).

If I take a shower that night (which I do usually every other day) I use the Neutrogena face wash in Pink grapefruit while I'm in the shower and let it sit for a few minutes while I am washing my hair. I use a Burt's bees intense hydrating cleanser to help deeply remove foundation and concealer in my pores. Then I use the 'Yes To..' Tomatoes detoxifying charcoal acne cleanser, I rinse my face with warm water not cold (idk if that makes a difference or not). If I have a really red and big pimple I use a dot of Clean & Clear Persa-gel 10 Maximum Strength on that pimple to help it go away (for lack of a better term). I then use a Neutrogena acne moisturizer in Pink Grapefruit on my nose, forehead, and jaw because that is where I am dry the most and where most of my acne is. I then use the Vasanti Brightenup! Enzymatic face rejuvenator and the Befine food skin care Night Cream all over my face.

I have a weird breakout along both of my cheeks right now (like 5-6 pimples that I would consider "bad" and deep in there). This has only happened once before and while I usually have a couple of zits here and there, this isn't normal for me. What would you suggest to get rid of them and heal my face?

Double Cleanse: Make sure to use a good makeup remover & cleanser to get off all makeup, sweat, & dirt. My favs: Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser + CeraVe Foaming Cleanser

other options: Banila Co Clean It Zero Resveratrol & Drunk Elephant Juju Bar

Clay Mask: I really like the Colleen Rothschild Clarifying Detox Mask because it has clay & an acid to exfoliate.

other options: GlamGlow SuperMud & Sephora Mud Mask Purifying & Mattifying.

Extra step: Use a hydrating mask afterwards so you don’t dry out your skin. Glossier Moisturizing Moon Mask & GlamGlow ThirstyMud

BHA / Benzoyl Peroxide: Lately I’ve been loving the Paula’s Choice 9% BHA. I use it where ever I'm having break outs. I leave it on over night.

other option: Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10

Spot Masking: Whenever I have really deep pimples I like to leave a clay mask on for a couple of hours, just in the spot with the pimple to really soak everything up. Currently I use Origins Clear Improvement.

other option: Pur Minerals Dirty Girl

Chemical Exfoliants: When I’m breaking out a lot I’ll use my chemical exfoliants daily, at night. options: Paula’s Choice 2% BHA & Drunk Elephant TLC

Don’t forget to change your pillow care, try not to touch your face, & clean your makeup brushes.

what is a cheap pimple/acne spot treatment? like really inexpensive

I’m a huge fan of Clean&Clear Persa-Gel 10. It’s like $5 for 1 fl oz which lasts me forever since you only need a tiny tiny bit. I use it at night because it does dry white. Use cautiously on sensitive skin because the amount of benzoyl peroxide in it could be irritating. I use it all the time and I find it clears up spots very quickly.

$18.89 for a pack of 4, or $4.97 for a single tube

DailyClear Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream is another inexpensive choice. It has an absorbent base with a matte finish, and claims to “vanish”, so this may be a better option for daytime. Apparently there is a reformulated version on the market with fragrance and alcohol in it, so be wary when purchasing. 1 fl oz is about $5.

$17.17 for a pack of 3, I couldn’t find a verified version of this product on amazon as a single tube.

I hope this helps!

Deep Cleansing Oil

Getting a facial is a relaxing but pricey endeavor. Fortunately, you can make your skin smoother, softer, and less irritable by giving yourself a facial and re-creating the professional experience right at home. You can use commercial products, homemade mixtures or a mix of both to create the perfect DIY facial in the comfort of your own home.

Understand the importance of washing your face. Washing your face removes all of the oil, sunscreen, and everyday pollutants from the environment that rest on the facial skin. It also helps prevent clogged pores, which in turn reduces the likelihood of developing breakouts. Finally, cleansing your face helps prepare the skin to absorb the products that you plan to apply to it.

Washing your face is something that you should do at least twice a day, even if you don't plan on giving yourself a full facial.

Pull back your hair from your face using a hairband. Wash your hands thoroughly and remove all of the makeup from your face.

Use your regular makeup remover to clean your face of any products.

Use a commercial facial cleanser or wash. There are plenty of options out there, from $1 beauty bars to $40 cleansing lotions. Many estheticians, however, note that you don't have to spend a ton of money on a cleanser and that it is more important that you get something that is specific to your skin type.

As a general rule, gel and foam cleansers are more suited for combination/oily skin, while cream cleansers are more suited for normal/dry skin types because they add a little extra hydration to the face.

If you have mild acne, you might want to try a cleanser with salicylic acid in it. Salicylic acid helps unclog pores to resolve and prevent lesions on the skin. One good option is Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Power-Cream or Power-Foam washes.

4Make your own homemade cleanser. You can also make your own cleanser using a few ingredients you probably already have on hand. Here are a couple of options:

Mix together 3 tbsp fresh apple juice, 6 tbsp whole milk, and 2 tbsp honey. If you want the cleanser to be more of a warming cleanser, then pop the honey in the microwave for 10 seconds before you add it to the other ingredients.

Place 1/2 tablespoon of oats in a food processor and pulse until powdered.

5Wash your face with the cleanser you have selected or made. Wet the skin using warm water. Then, apply a quarter-sized amount of cleanser to your face with an outward circular motion.

Once washed, rinse your face clean with warm water and pat it dry. Rubbing the skin vigorously on a towel will only redden and irritate your facial skin.

Use a spot treatment. Apply a spot treatment that you can purchase or make at home. Salicylic acid is one of the most commonly used acne spot treatments because it works to clear out the clogged poor and get rid of dead skin cells that help facilitate breakouts. Benzoyl peroxide is another commonly used acne spot treatment, which works by killing the bacteria that causes acne, which in turn alleviates the inflammation caused by said bacteria.

Some recommended spot treatments include Malin+Goetz Acne Treatment with active sulfur and salicylic acid and Clean and Clear Persa-Gel 10, which is a 10% benzoyl peroxide solution.

For DIY spot treatment, apply either tea tree oil or toothpaste to the affected area. Tea tree oil, which is an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory oil, is a great home remedy for people with sensitive skin because it doesn't typically dry out or redden the skin like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid do.
