It's been awhile since I have posted, but with good reason. Since I am in the beauty industry, and have access to a lot of product, I have been gaining knowledge on great and not-so-great products, and now I have more information to share about what is working for me and my skin. Whoever said you lose the acne phase in your early adult years is a liar. I have had a serious bout with it for the last little bit. Probably because all of the makeup I wear to go to work is clogging my pores, and not to mention a few out of whack hormones. I try a lot of things to help clear this up, but it always seems zits are like weeds. You try taking care of one, and another will magically pop up. Shiseido is a leader in skincare, and has been since the 1890's, so I decided to give it a go with their products. I wash my face with Shiseido cleanser, take a super-soft cotton square (Shiseido also sells these), shake the bottle to my Shiseido Pureness Refreshing Lotion toner medicated with salicylic acid (0.5%) and pour some of it onto the middle of my cotton square and wipe it all over my face. I follow that up with the Shiseido Pureness Blemish Clearing Gel on a cotton swab for spot treatment (also 0.5% salicylic acid) on a zit. I usually do this twice a day, in the morning before I put makeup on, and at night after I take it off. I always use a moisturizer afterwards since salicylic acid can be very drying to the skin. I have been doing this routine for two weeks now, and I can say with confidence that I have not gotten a new blemish since I have been doing this, and that is a rarity since one or two always pop up every day. The toner fortunately prevents new ones from popping up. Not to say that I will never get a blemish again, and I am sure one will show its ugly face sometime, but the amount of clearing and healing of my face is immense, and I feel that my skin is under control. Shiseido products never cease to amaze me. There is a reason that the company has been around for so long. Their products really do work miracles, and they have a product for every type of skin and every problem.
