The only skincare that works!(for me:)

Hey ya'll!!!! I know I haven't written a post in a while, but I have recently mae a resolution to start really keeping up my blog and youtube channel inseta of slacking off. Afterall I really do love blogging an making videos an it's a great way to make friends so I will be updating a lot more often!

Now, on to the reason for this post-skincare! I absolutly love Proactiv since I started using it years ago. It really clears up my very acne prone skin, which I was never able to do throughour high school with regular drug store products.

The only issue I had was that if I used it everynight, as I do with skincare, I would get these unbearable dry, irritated patches on my cheeks:( I somewhat recently told my sister(and fellow esthetician) about it and she got some different skincare for me through the spa she works at. Apparently this stuff had worked really well for her and my sister has beautiful skin so I was super excited to try it.

It was horrible!!!!

Not only did my skin break out like crazy, but the super thick moisturizer made my face into an oil slick. No amount or different type of makeup was able to hide the eruptions going on all over my face. Now, my sister advised me to be patient and that the cleanser was just bring all the bad stuff to the surface before it got rid of it. So I kept at it, hoping to see improvments soon. 3 months later, my face still looked nasty....this was the worst breakout of my life!

Needless to say I have stopped using the products and returned to old reliable:) I'm very happy to be using Proactiv again and my face is clearing up quickly. I did find a solution for the dry spots too...I went to my local health food store which also carries some skincare and hair care items and I picked up a natural moistuizing mask. Once a week I put the mask just on my cheeks (occasionally on my chin and forehead as well) and any irritationa nd redness immediatly goes away.

Soooo, I have come to the conclusion that Proactiv is the only skincare line for me, since it is the only one that's ever made a difference in my skin.

Does anyone else use it or have used it in the past? What do you think?
