I'm a college professor who in my free time loves to dabble in makeup, beauty and fashion. I may have no idea what I'm doing but I'm having fun with it.

My Skincare Routine
Oh Goodness I'm so slow with the blog updates! My apologies!
So as the video points out, I have trouble skin so my skincare routine is incredibly important to me. I am constantly fighting acne, discoloration, dryness, excessive oil and large pores. Thankfully my camera is so low-def that I almost look normal! :)
So here is what I usually use and do:
Olay Professionals ProX Clear
My standard is a 3-step routine by Olay Professionals ProX Clear.
I use the facial cleanser twice a day (when I wake up and when I shower at night)
The treatment gel (more like a lotion) I use at night before bed
The lotion I use twice a day (under my makeup and then at night after using the treatment gel).
Retails: $47.00 for the starter kit
I purchased mine from Walmart
St Ives Apricot Scrub
Twice a week I will use the St. Ives scrub in small circular motions, concentrating on areas with large pores.
Retails: $3.50
Bought from Walmart
Avon Genics Treatment Cream
Three to four times a week (especially in cold, dry weather) I will use the Avon Genics cream. This has the consistency of a body butter and smells yummy. When I use this I concentrate on the eye and neck area because of its anti-aging qualities.
Retails: $35.00

Avon Regenerist Flash Facial
I use this serum a few times a month. It is very concentrated and has a smooth texture. There is some shimmer to it when you apply it. This helps with pigmentation, resurfacing and pores.

Avon Clearskin Pore Scrub
The last thing I use twice a week which I did not mention in the video is my Avon Clearskin Pore Scrub. I love the minty tingle this leaves your skin when you use it! I didn't put this in the video because I had run out and just reordered more. So the St. Ives is a stand in. You can use either, but I would not suggest using scrubs more than a few times a week. You don't want to rub your skin raw!
Retails: $6.49 (sometimes on sale for buy one get one)

I hope that is a solid review for anyone wanting to try these products. Use what works for you and sometimes it takes a while to find that! My YouTube friend,and guru, Samantha Schuerman did a review recently on her channel for "Friday Favorites and Fudgeroos." Check it out! It's the Acne.org Treatment from www.danielkern.com. I'm interested in trying that out so I might review that in the future as well!
Cheers!
