So, continuing from my last post\u2026<\/p>\n

Use a cleanser and facial scrub on a daily basis to remove excess oil produced overnight and during the day. Don’t forget that make-up residue can clog pores as well. Not sure how many of you are aware that sunblock cream can easily clog pores too. As we are entering the beautiful summer season, the cleansing step becomes the most important step to preventing breakouts.<\/p>\n

If your skin condition is more normal to oily than you can use a gentle facial scrub on a daily basis; otherwise, use it once or twice a week to avoid dehydrated skin. BTW, one tip: you can use the excess scrub on your hands and elbow before it rinse off from your hand.<\/p>\n

Here are some products that I or my husband have used. My husband has oily skin and is easy to get skin bumps, and I mean \u201cbig\u201d bumps. It\u2019s impossible to have pure, natural elements in everything in our life. Therefore, I tend to like plant based products when it comes to skin products. Most of them smell very pleasant and some can be very “woody” smelling or too floral. It just all depends on what plant extracts were used in each product.<\/p>\n

Mychelle Dermaceuticals – Fruit Enzyme Scrub<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"MyChelle<\/a>The beads are so fine that you can hardly feel it \u201cscrubbing\u201d your face compared to the usual scrub sold on the market. The lemongrass exact gives it a light lemony smell. You can certainly \u00a0use this product on a daily basis even if your skin is on the dry side, it depends on how dehydrated your skin is; I only use it 1-2 times a week. I\u2019ve also used their sun block cream, which I will talk about in a subsequent post. This brand offers many other products which I\u2019m excited to try. So if you have tried their other products be sure to let me know your opinion and give feedback.<\/p>\n

Sonya Dakar \u2013 Bergamot Wash<\/strong><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.sonyadakar.com\/shop\/bergamot-wash<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Bergamont-Wash-Irritation_1\"<\/a>This is the very first product that I used in the Sonya Dakar product line. I\u2019m into natural ingredients (as you might be able to guess by now), and with my science background I certainly appreciate Sonya Dakar founders’ mission to combine \u201cScience & Nature\u201d to perfect women\u2019s skin quality. I immediately fell in love with this cleanser, not only did it effectively remove debris from my skin, it also moisturizes. Even though it says for Irritation, it\u2019s good for all kinds of skin in my opinion, and it\u2019s a perfect vehicle to prevent breakouts when your skin is in normal good condition, and it\u2019s an excellent product to have in your bathroom shelf as a controlling agent if you tend to have quite a few breakouts.<\/p>\n

Sonya Dakar \u2013 Mud Lavender Wash<\/strong><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.sonyadakar.com\/shop\/mud-lavender-wash<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Mud-Lavender-Wash-clear\"<\/a>After I was 100% pleased with the Bergamot wash, I purchased the Mud Lavender for my husband to try. He has oily skin and easier to have breakout knowing \u201cMAN\u201d probably more resisted to use \u201cskin care\u201d product as part of their daily routine. My husband was quite impressed with the product, it\u2019s very effective to remove the excess oil that produce over night. Since then, he used it before his shaving in the morning, and used at night whenever he feels oily on his face. His breakout has been under control since and also his oily condition has been improved and I haven\u2019t had much chance to performed any exaction in the last a year or so. \u263a I used it myself one or twice of month as well as \u201cdeep cleaning\u201d purpose. It not only gives me extra layer of treatment to prevent the breakout, but also lightly removed dead skin from the UV light damage so that it light up my skin tone which I really enjoy it. \u263a<\/p>\n

\"Sisley_Buff&Wash<\/a>\"Sisley_Phyto-Blanc<\/a><\/p>\n

My all time favorite facial cleanser. I started with regular Buff & Wash Facial Gel 20+ years ago. The beads are not large and yet not super fine but it\u2019s not rough like sandpaper on your face. As you apply onto your skin with circulating motion, I felt the beads will slowly absorbed into the skin I believe it\u2019s because the \u2018GEL\u201d that provided the such effect, and it cleans the skin and gently buff away the dead surface cell; and, leaves with freshness, smoothness, radiant to the skin. The best thing is you don\u2019t need facial cleanser before this step, simplified my busy, hectic morning routine.<\/p>\n

Few years ago, the FDA finally approved the \u201cwhitening\u201d skin product for US market, I was super excited. I normally obtained my Sisley\u2019s phyto-blanc product oversea so, I would treasure this phyto-blanc Buff and Wash facial gel that I\u2019m only limited this product used during summer season. I like to keep my face \u201cwhite\u201d which mean I don\u2019t like the color pigmentation due to UVA\/UVB sunlight damaged. Because the natural plant exact and the lemon, scutellaria and white mulberry extracts combined to helps on the complexion. Because of Lemon and other plant exact oil, both products provided the sensational of aromatic smell. Very relaxing and pleasant to your sense of smell on every morning to begin your busy day.<\/p>\n

All right, as sizzling summer is approaching, beaches are calling, don\u2019t forget to take care our precious appearance while we are enjoy the beautiful season of all 4 seasons.<\/p>\n
