Clean & Clear Pore Perfecting Morning Routine!

I have never had really terrible skin growing up but I do always seem to suffer with blemishes and blocked pores, just like many people do. I'm always uncomfortable and feel the need to cover them up or hide them away but some days I really don't want to put lots of makeup on and pretend they are not there. The last few weeks I have been feeling really contentious about my skin and the condition it has been in but I try to remind myself that I am being really silly, why should we feel bad about the way our own skin looks? They are only a few spots. Everyone gets them and so I shouldn't feel the need to cover them up or hide away because its's natural and it's just me! Rather than looking at covers of magazines and feeling upset that I don't have skin that appears to be perfect like theirs, covered in makeup, I have decided that I should just embrace my skin for the way it is! It’s okay to let everyone see the real me.

Clean & Clear came to my skin's rescue when they sent me their Pore Perfecting Morning Routine. It really helped me understand how important it is to take care of your skin and to be able to clear it up and feel comfortable! It has also really helped me understand 3 important steps to better skin and what to use. Up until now, I had been lost in a world of what to use and in which order to use them but nothing has been easier than their 3 step routine that has been leaving my skin feeling so much better.

It all starts off with Step # 1 Cleanse using the Clean & Clear Deep Action Cream Cleanser. Simply squeeze a small amount of this pore cleanser on to your hands, lather up and apply to your face. Avoid contact with your eyes, swirl it around your face, and once rinsed, pat your face dry. It leaves you feeling a fresh tingly sensation. My face felt really cool and clean after using this. I love the fact that it cleans your skin of any oil, dirt and makeup up that might be on your face after a long day and having that really clean feeling makes it feel like everything has been completely removed. I just wish it would lather up a bit more than it does. It is more of a cream lather than a bubbly lather which I prefer so I can really feel where it is on my skin, but that has no effect on how clean it leaves your skin!

Step # 2 Tone with Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Astringent; this is simply a toner for blackheads. I didn’t realize how important it is to tone in your morning skin routine, this is where I used to become lost. It's really important to get any dirt that is left in your pores and all you have to do is soak a cotton pad with this toner and wipe all over your face, focusing on your T-Zone where all the dirt really builds up. This contains salicylic acid which is a medicated ingredient to help your pores and blemishes. I find that this has a little bit of a medicated scent and I wish it did smell a bit nicer because the moisturizer also has the same ingredients but has a lovely scent. So it is best not to put too much on the cotton pad or it can become too much around your face but it's a step that can't be missed because it really helps to clean out your pores.

Lastly is Step # 3 Moisturize with Clean & Clear Essentials Dual Action Moisturizer containing acne fighting ingredients! This face moisturizer helps treat and prevent breakouts and spots but keeps your skin moisturized. It is oil free which means your skin doesn't feel oily or greasy after using and all you have to do is apply a small amount to your hand and massage into your skin. It smells lovely and leaves your skin soft to the touch but be sure not to over use it as it does contain medicated ingredients.

I can't thank Clean & Clear enough for sending me this little box of skin rescue, not only has it helped my skin but it has really helped my understanding on how to properly take care of my skin! Getting into a good skin care routine and taking good care of my skin are so important because it means I can embrace not having to wear makeup when I get a blemish. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 for you to have a good skin care routine too because Clean & Clean has lots of different routines for your skin type, hopefully you can all embrace your natural skin too!
