What skincare products do you use and recommend? What skincare products do you recommend for oily skin? What's your skincare routine? These are some skincare related questions I've been receiving lately. To address all these questions, I decided to write everything I know in this post. Now, I'm not a professional or in any way an expert when it comes to skincare. So just to put a disclaimer out there that all the products I'm going to mention here may or may not work for you since we all have different skin types and there may be other factors affecting our skin, right?. But nonetheless, all the things I'm going to say are all based on my experience and research. I'm guessing that this is going to be a super lengthy post since I have a LOT of things I want to share with you. So let's begin!

My Skin's History

I never had super bad skin before, but during my sophomore year in college, I remembered, I started getting small bumps/ pimples/ clogged pores on my forehead and on my nose. I would also get gigantic pimples (mostly on my nose) every now and then. Obviously, it really affected my self-esteem back then. Acne Gels had been my best friend, but truthfully I really don't know if it helped cure my acne in any way. And since I originally have super clear skin, I thought it's going go away after a week or so, but it didn't, it lasted for a whole year. Fortunately after that, I was able to track what causes that nightmare which are my bangs, wrong base products, dirt, wrong skincare, touching my face, unhealthy snacks, etc. And now I'm proud and happy that my skin is back to it's true state hahaha! I'm blemish-free for almost 2 years now but I do get small pimples when it's that time of the month, but most of the time my skin is clear and happy.

Anyhow, This has been my skincare routine for almost a year now. I have oily-combination skin btw, my t-zone area can get super oil than the rest of my face. Continue reading to see tips on how to reduce oiliness :)

(l-r) ZA Total Hydration Fresh Foamy Cleanser, Fresh Lucent Toner, Dewy Moisturizer, Amino Mineral Refreshing Gel

I'm using ZA Cosmetics' Total Hydration Line for my daily skincare routine. I've been religiously using all of these for almost a year now and it didn't broke me out or caused any irritation whatsoever. As I said earlier, my skin is happy and clear for two years now, and Me sticking with my current skincare routine must have been one of the reasons why.
