Skin Care Routine!! :D

     I've been so busy!!!! AHHHH!!! But I finally have a day off and this next week seems to be back to being pretty chill. Hallelujah!
     I was gonna post another... critique of Ikemen Desu Ne, but I figured I should talk about something I like, that I haven't talked about yet. And that is *drum roll* skin care!!!!
     Well... I like it and I hate it... or rather hate that I really have to have a strict routine. I'm def not the person that can not wash their face and never ever break out. (I have friends like that and its like, "daaaammmm, you got good genes!!!") I'm in my... I'll say early 20's (oh my gosh I revealed something! XD) and I started to get acne in like... 8th grade I think. But it wasn't bad, it was like one or two every so once in a while, and throughout high school I had worse eczema (yeah I got that too, basically REALLY dry skin, if you don't know) than I did acne. It wasn't till I got into college that my skin actually got worse. However... I think it got worse cause I was allergic to something, I'm honestly not sure what, and so I completely started over with my skin care routine and did a lot of research.
     So, a few rules that I try to follow for skin care are: no fragrance (artificial or "natural"), as few ingredients as possible, and keep it simple in terms of amount of products. Right now, I literally only use 4 things on my face. To cleanse my face, I use coconut oil (the Trader Joes brand-- I started out with olive oil, then I went to coconut, then avocado, and back to coconut cause of research and the fact that coconut is cheaper than avocado XD), then I use Paula's Choice Clear Anti Redness 2% Salicylic thang, and then Shea butter (i use the unscented Alaffia brand)and if I am going outside, I use the Paula's Choice Resist Super Light SPF 30 thang XD Yup! That's literally ALL I use on my face. Currently anyway. I'd actually like to use a facial oil/serum as well, like, maybe the Paula's Choice Vitamin C one, but right now... I aint got that money to really spend yet x"D
     But yeah! That's my skin care routine, for my face anyway (actually, for my body skin, I just use Aveeno, cause, yeah eczema. :/   Ummmm, if you have any questions, I guess feel free to ask. I think the only one I'd ask myself I didn't know, is why the Paulas's Choice brand so much? And really, I like them because, even though its not "all natural" or whatever, like coconut oil and shea butter, it is free of common skin irritants, which is what.. well... irritate your skin and can cause acne and redness and all that annoying stuff. So yeah. Along with my skin care routine I try to eat healthy, because your outside is a reflection of your inside and if I want my outside to be healthy, I gotten fuel my insides correctly. :)
     I think that's about all... Have a great day and talk to ya later! ^_^
