If you have been a reader of my blog for any amount of time, you will quite probably know that I have had a painful journey with my skincare. I´ve had non-successful doctors appointments and I´ve gone through my fair share expensive creams and face washes and still, the problem is here.
All my doctor says is "oh, its okay its just your hormones, or your age, try this..." and that's just another fob me off when to me its a lot more than that. (TMI but during my period is probably when my skin is at its clearest, so does that mean it isn't hormones?)
Not only am I aware of my skin and very self-concious of it but I've got scaring  and redness and it just isn't a nice thing to have to deal with on a day to day basis.
Due to a lack of my doctors help I´ve done my own detective work and come across three products that don't exactly get rid of the problem, but they definitely do reduce it and I thought I could only try and help a few of you out by sharing them.
If you are from the UK you most probably have heard of Simple, the skincare brand. Here in Spain it is almost impossible to get hold of so when mum went back to England for a few days I made her pick me up these and I´ve used them ever since.
Every night before going to bed I wash my face to remove my makeup from the day using the moisturising facial wash which leaves a lovely clean and soft feeling to my face and then although my skin is mixed (neither dry or greasy) I apply a thin layer of moisturiser.
I feel these have helped me cause they aren't as harsh on the skin as micelar water is and they are actually made for more sensitive skin.
Now this, is the game changer. After I´ve washed my face I apply a thin layer of Sudocrem to my scars/redness or wherever I feel I need it and by the morning it has usually all absorbed into my skin.  I wake up with super fresh and calm looking skin so I just apply a small layer of moisturiser which has SPF in which is amazing seen as I live in the sun, and voila, I am as fresh as a daisy and ready to conquer the day.
