My Weekly Routine

I read an article in Cosmo a while ago that listed the most important things for great skin.
1.always use sunscreen
2.exfoliate
3.use porestrips weekly
4.use a mask weekly
5.stay hydrated and moisturize
6.sleep

I already did most of these things. I am guilty of not getting enough water or sleep. I also never thought pore strips were useful, but I am a convert to pore strips. They are better than I remember them being.
So once a week ( usually Sunday) I do a mask. I use Neutrogena Deep Clean Long Last Shine Control $8.39. First I exfoliate using the apricot scrub then I apply the mask and leave it on until it dries. After I rinse it off with hot water (same temperature as in the daily routine.)

 

 

Next I apply water to my nose and use a Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strip $8.49. I leave this on for 10 minutes then peel it off. Okay I'm going to be honest with you it does hurt a little to peel this thing off your face, but as my momma always told me "beauty is pain."  I rinse off whatever little bit of chalky residue might be left behind. I then apply the Garnier spot correcting products as I do everyday.

 

 

Another great mask is the Proactive Refining Mask $10.95 (@ Sears) or $20 (@Proactive website).

You can also find it on Ebay. I got this one as a free sample!! (stay tuned and I will also keep you in the know of free samples too!!)

The directions say use 2-3 times a week, but for me that is excessive. Once does great for me even though I have oily skin. This stays on for 10 minutes until dry then you can rinse it off with warm water. You can also use it as an acne spot treatment.
