Adult acne can have many causes which may include your daily skincare routine or lack of it, hormones, stress, sugar, dairy, & makeup. Even though adult acne can be very frustrating it is a common issue.
I am not a board-certified dermatologist, but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn last night. All kidding aside, I am sharing information about the new Avon Skin So Soft for Acne Prone Skin.
The Concern: Acne Prone Skin
The Fix: For Your Face
As with any skincare routine, we like to start off with a cleanser.
Foaming Cleanser–Discover a gentle facial cleanser with plant-based scrub that gently clears away dead skin and impurities. Soothes and conditions skin with rosemary, madecassoside and mint extracts. Free of synthetic fragrances.
PRO TIP Using salicylic acid in a daily routine is suitable for any skin type. As a “lipid-soluble” ingredient that can effectively penetrate pores, it is especially helpful for oily and blemish-prone skin. But even if you don’t have blemish-prone skin, it can help boost radiance! According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, salicylic acid can help improve the overall appearance of skin with continued use over time.
Treat your face with a soothing dab of “ahhh” on irritated skin. Leave-on formula dries clear with gently exfoliating salicylic acid to get smoother, softer, and more radiant skin. Formulated with rosemary, madecassoside and mint extracts known to soothe skin. Free of synthetic fragrances.
Effectively cleanse and clear away dead skin and impurities without dryness or irritation. Formulated with rosemary oil, a natural refreshing astringent. This special formula offers deep cleansing as the gentle scrub exfoliates dead skin and impurities. Smooths skin and cleans deep down to your pores without leaving your skin dry. Free of synthetic fragrances.
Comfort your skin with a deeply soothing gel that helps visibly improve skin tone and texture with a cooling sensation. For body use only. Contains glycerin to help moisturize, allantoin to help calm and soothe, and panthenol to help hydrate and visibly smooth skin. Leave on, and dries clear. Free of synthetic fragrances
Eye skincare is an important part of any skincare routine. The skin around the eyes is delicate and sensitive, and can easily show signs of aging and fatigue. Using gentle and hydrating products specifically formulated for the eye area can help reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines. It’s important to be gentle when applying products around the eyes and to use your ring finger to avoid applying too much pressure.
What causes dark circles and wrinkles under my eyes?
The dark circles under your eyes can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, lack of sleep, allergies, dehydration, and aging.

Have you heard the phrase “double Cleanse” lately?
A double cleansing method is typically used to remove your makeup and sunscreen first to clear the way for your regular cleanser to cleanse the skin, instead of having to work its way through layers of heavy makeup and sunscreen.
Complete your clean skincare regimen with a clean beauty formula of nurturing, sustainable ingredients. Boasting a Super Greens blend of broccoli sprouts, brussels sprouts, moringa oil, and green tea, this balm helps boost the moisture barrier as it dissolves makeup and impurities. For normal, dry, combination, oily and sensitive skin types. Responsibly packaged.
Fun fact: The double cleansing technique first became popular in South Korea and Japan before catching on in Europe and then North America.
Follow with your regular water-based cream or gel cleanser, then finish the rest of your skincare routine as usual. A great water-based cleanser is belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb Jelly Cleanser, a jelly-to-foam formula that contains amino acids and glycerin-based cleansing agents to gently remove makeup and impurities without stripping skin of moisture.
WHEN TO DOUBLE CLEANSE
Generally, you’ll want to double cleanse at night to remove the sunscreen and makeup from the day.
In the morning, one cleanse usually does the trick, however, if you have very oily skin, you may want to double cleanse. Double cleansing can also be helpful if your regular cleanser isn’t removing enough excess oil, but using a stronger cleanser leaves your skin feeling dry and tight.
WHO SHOULD DOUBLE CLEANSE?
If you have normal-to-oily skin, are prone to breakouts, or wear heavy makeup, double cleansing is perfect for you.
If none of the above applies to you, think of double cleansing like a face mask or a targeted treatment and add to your routine as needed—like a day that you wear caked-on makeup or experience especially oily skin.
If you have sensitive skin, you can still double cleanse, but we recommend you use gentle products. Try an oil-based cleanser or balm paired with a cleanser formulated for sensitive skin, like Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser. This gentle cleanser features a whipped cream-like texture that softly glides onto the skin to effectively remove makeup residue while moisturizing.
Cleansing with oil is beneficial as it helps dissolve all types of makeup and helps remove sunscreen. Every oil works differently and some might argue they work more efficiently than ingredients found in cleansers.
Cleansing oils designed for your face have an edge over pure oils because they contain an ingredient known as an emulsifier. This allows oil to mix with water and form a milky emulsion, making it easy to rinse off instead of leaving a greasy residue like pure oils can.
DOUBLE-CLEANSING GUIDE
– Add cleansing oil to palm of hand or balm to your fingertips. – Use fingers from opposite hand to apply to dry skin. – Gently massage in circular motions, including your eyes for about 30 seconds or until you feel the makeup melting. – Rinse with lukewarm water or gently remove the cleanser with a soft, warm washcloth. – Follow with your regular cleanser and apply to damp skin. – Gently massage in circular motions, avoiding the eye area if not intended for the eyes. – Rinse. – Pat your skin dry. – Finish your skin care routine!

Previously I posted, defining what a skincare regimen is & the steps to take to personalize your regimen. Then I went with the steps to help you choose the right products for you. We’ve discussed cleansers, treatments and now we’re moving on to moisturizers.
First, we want to go back to the earliest of questions previously discussed, “What’s your skin type”? Do you have dry,oily, combination, or even sensitive skin?
BEAUTY TIP- Keep your day moisturizer away from your eyes. Day moisturizers may contain sunscreen which may cause your eyes to burn. Use a separate eye cream.
In the evening you will want to remove all the impurities your skin attracted during the day. Things like sweat, air pollution & your makeup need to be removed. During your rest, your skin, with applied moisturizer, works harder to repair the damage you put it through. Night creams tend to be heavier than day creams to replenish moisture & help reduce signs of aging.
Travel size bundles are another way to experience a skincare regimen before committing to full-size products. This luxurious line, Mission Luxerev takes over 2 years to produce & uses fermentation technologies.
The ultimate in skin performance, our luxury night crème indulges your skin with a supreme experience and rewards it with immediate and long-term results on most visible signs of aging, including deep wrinkles, creases, expression lines and skin firmness. 1.7 oz. net wt.
With Black Pearl Extract, known to enhance skin’s ability to retain moisture, our advanced performance night crème dramatically improves visible signs of aging. Born in the exotic waters of Tahiti, the black pearl is known to improve skin’s ability to retain moisture. Our luxurious yet lightweight night crème, infused with black pearl extract and our highest-level Celluvive anti-aging complex, helps repair the look of all visible signs of aging* while immersing skin in radiant moisture for the ultimate transformative experience.
I’ve covered Part 2 of Skincare Regimens, “Where to Begin” to create your personalized skincare regimen. It’s time to get started with those right products for your concerns.
Now, remember the 3rd STEP- “Give it Time” You’ll need to give your new regimen time to work with your skin. Depending on the anti-aging products you choose it may take 6-8 weeks to see results with consistent use. As you age your concerns may change & it’ll be time to revisit your anti-aging regimen to update it.
I am available to set up skincare consulting appointments.
So far I’ve talked about what is a skincare regime & how to choose a cleanser. Our next step is choosing treatments. Yes, I said treatments as a plural because you may want to target more than 1 concern. Some treatments are suggested for night use, while some are only used a couple of times a week & some treatments are for every day.
First, we cleanse our face then we add the treatments. Treatments may come in the form of a serum, a cream, an oil, or even a scrub. You may use more than 1 treatment at a time. Eye treatments are included in these choices. Your eyes are surrounded by more delicate skin than the rest of your face therefore the treatments are different.
Have you ever said, “Oh it’s ok for my face so I’m going to use this on my face & my eyes?” Then your skincare burns your eyes. That’s because some skin care products, usually day creams, contain SPF. If you’ve ever gotten sunscreen in your eyes, you know it burns.
TIP- Apply your treatments from thinnist to thickest.
Again, we go back to your concerns. You choose the areas you want to target.Maybe you are noticing some fine lines and wrinkles appearing lately and you already have dry, sensitive skin. You can check out all 3 categories below & in each product description search for all your concerns.
By clicking on the concerns below you will be brought to several choices of skincare treatments. A great bonus is you will see products in several categories because of the multiple concerns they target.This allows you to address several concerns with 1 product.
