face wash miracles

Okay, I'll be the first to admit that I've always had terrible face washing habits. I would go to bed with makeup still on, forget all about moisturizer, and just continued using a face wash even though it wasn't doing much for me. And I got by pretty okay with all of that...until this year. Stress breakouts galore! So I knew something had to change in my routine, and I had to make myself get some better habits. Which honestly, have worked miracles for me (we're talking my face clearing up after only a week!). So of course, I thought I'd share my little miracles with everyone! (PS this is not a sponsored post at all. I just had really great experiences with these, and thought I would share them!)
First of all, would be my Clarisonic. I finally jumped on the bandwagon, and it was a fantastic decision. You can actually feel your skin getting cleaner and healthier when you use it. My skin is so much brighter and just....nice now. I've been recommending it to everyone and anyone!

Second would be the face wash I switched too. The one I had been using just was not working for me anymore, and I was already using an Aveeno moisturizer, so I decided to just make the switch! And I am SO SO SO glad I did! I started using these last Sunday, and already my forehead has cleared up considerably and my skin just looks cleaner and feels moisturized. 

morning: wash, moisturizer // night: wash, moisturizer

In the morning, I'm using a foaming cleanser meant for complexion clearing, along with a daily moisturizer (with SPF of course!). At night, I'm using a detox scrub along with a hydrating nighttime moisturizer. Can not say enough amazing things about all of these!

So if you're looking to change up your skin care routine, or are having similar problems to me, give these products a try!

Have you discovered any face wash miracles?

the best face wash (but really)

So I guess I should start this by saying I am definitely not an expert about face wash and skin types, and I tend to just stick to the same kind without really thinking about it. I also don't have bad acne or anything, but I do get breakouts pretty often (thanks to my bangs a lot of the time) and blackheads are just no fun.

But on a whim a couple weeks ago, I got the new Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser. My only reasoning behind it (which is awful) is that I'm a sucker for new beauty trends, and I thought it was cool that the face wash was dark blue. (I know, I know. AWFUL reason to buy face wash.) However (thankfully), it's easily the best face wash I've ever used. I alternate using it with my standby scrub face wash, and I absolutely love it. I haven't had any breakouts since I started using it and I've definitely seen a decrease in blackheads, which I have never seen happen before! So basically, this beauty trend is actually legit and really does work. Plus, it's one of those face washes where it makes your face all cold and tingly, and who doesn't love that?

(PS, this post isn't sponsored. I just thought I'd share this with you guys because it really works. Although if Biore wants to pay me to talk about it, I wouldn't say no! ;))

Is anyone else a major sucker for beauty trends? Which ones have worked for you?
