Although most people who have ever had more serious struggles with acne would probably scoff at my version of "bad skin," I do break out now and then and it REALLY bothers me (probably because I usually have very clear skin, so a couple zits are really noticeable/distracting to me). I'm pretty meticulous about skincare most of the time, but keep going back and forth over the skincare products I think work best for me.
I used to use cetaphil religiously, have used various products from Clean & Clear and Neutrogena. I've twice gone the more natural/eco cleanser route and tried products from Burts Bees (two of which I liked, one of which I hated) and then one product by St. Ives, which I currently use on occasion. Go back and forth on whether I prefer scrubs or creams/gels. Been on and off about whether I feel like trying any of the fresh/all natural products from Lush.
I have a feeling I'm probably going to end up with a multi-product regimen, perhaps using one thing in the morning to wake me up and brighten/tone my skin, and what at night for a more hardcore clean and cleanse. I have combination skin so depending I can be oily in places and dry in others.
What do you guys do to clean your faces and keep acne at bay? Any products you live by or would recommend?
