 my personal clear skin regime!
hey everyone, im a 19 ear old universit student who has pcos. i started showing symptoms from the age of 13... and up until now m two main problems had always been the acne and the crazy hair growth...but for the past 3 months my acne has been under control and i can proudly say i have clear skin now. ive tried a lot of different products but heres my daily routine:
Morning - 1) wash face with clean & clear makeup
removing cleanser
2) use olay regenerist thermal skin polisher (optional but highly recommended...seriously leaves your skin baby soft and eventually lightens pimple scars)
3) use garnier skin naturals "pure" astringent toner with a cotton ball.(if you need to shave do it now and DO NOT use toner after shaving!!)
4) use 2-3 pumps of vichy normaderm anti-imperfection hydrating care.
Night -1) wash face with clean & clear makeup removing cleanser
2) use toner.
3) use vichy moisturizer.
Also: - make sure you scrub once once or twice a week. it exfoliates your skin and reduces ingrowns. i do this in the shower.
- try not to touch your face too much...trusts me it makes a huge difference!
- i dont use liquid foundation...i find it clogs my pores and causes pimples. instead i use mac studio fix powder foundation. its perfect because its an oil free powder that provides quite a bit of coverage for stubble shadow and scars plus its perfect for the summer because it hides the shininess of my oily skin. you might need to use a concealer with this though.
Ok thats pretty much all ive figured out for myself - i have medium-oil skin and i used to get atleast 1 new pimple everyday until now. so i just wanted to share this with you all....now to deal with my body hair...anyone know any good gyno/endo with experience with pcos in the city of montreal (canada) ? let me know pls!
Thanks and good luck!
