Treat Acne at Home, Advice from a Professional

Want to know how to treat acne at home? I am going to give you all my secrets!


There are two skincare book reads I highly recommend -

Skin Cleanse - https://a.co/d/0qu7MeC
Eat Pretty - https://a.co/d/4u0HLE9



You will need the right products. I put together a kit you can purchase here.


And you will need to use them. Make it a daily ritual!

• Basically you want to start with a good face wash, and if you wear makeup you will want to do a double cleanse. Take your time doing this and make sure your face is truly clean

• Toner/Treat - this step can be done all over or in just the areas with acne

• Moisturize

• Once to two times a week mask. I love this product! Mix with a little water, spread on and leave on for 10 minutes. Then wash away. Can also be used as a spot treatment.

• Want to take it to the next level, get the Beauty Wand to add in light therapy treatments and calm inflammation.



There are a few supplements to add to you daily routine:

Probiotics

B Complex

Fish Oil or other Omega rich oil

Zinc


And WATER! Drink lots of water!


If you are a makeup wearer switch to clean beauty products and stay away from makeup with the bad ingredients, see attached list. A safe way to do this is to shop stores that have already done the search for you, like Credo, Whole Foods or Fox & Doll Shop.

Wash Your Makeup Brushes!

I often get asked "How do I wash my makeup brushes"?

The best thing to do for washing your make up brushes is to use a very gentle cleanser, kind of like you're shampooing them. It helps to have a silicone brush or mat to rub them against, see below. Rinse them out very well, rub or squeeze them on a towel very gently to get the excess water out but to keep the original shape. Reshape them and lay them flat to dry, I use a special drying rack that I have dedicated to this but even just on the edge of a table is good, so they are sort of hanging off.  

A few favorite cleaners are:

Sonia Roselli Brush Soap

Rebels and Outlaws Brush Soap

The Masters Brush Soap


Dr Bronner Castile Soap, I like the lavender

This is the baking cooling rack I use for drying mine after washing. 

And if you really want to get pro about it I recommend this amazing little gadget from BrushDoc. Especially if you are a pro make up artist with lots of brushes to wash this is definitely worth the investment. I also love the companion soap that is sold with it.




If you have brushes with lots of waxy or greasy product you will want something to break that down, think foundation, concealer and lipstick. One of the industry standards is Cinema Secrets. The smell of it is a little intense for me so I found a alternative that I prefer.

This collapsible silicone dish is also a great addition to your brush washing tools.

And for sanitizing your brushes what you will need is 70% alcohol.
