My Skincare Routine: Part 1



Picture Credit: The V Effect

Many women notice that as they grow older, their skin becomes dry. I am no exception. When I was a teenager, I was spared the indignity of teenage acne but my skin was fickle, oily and prone to breakouts. Like many that age, I tried every skincare gimmick advertised on TV---pads, skin creams, foams, toners...you name it, I tried it. If I could have only eliminated oil from my skin...

In my twenties, the oil calmed down a little bit so I was pretty happy. I was on the birth control pill and the hormones helped prevent any potential breakout from starting.  By that time, I was out of college and into my first couple of "real" jobs. The income allowed me to step up my skincare routine and I began purchasing skincare systems from department stores. Clinique's system was the first one I tried. I'd use it until it was finished and try another one, never to be satisfied.
