Skin Care Journey By- Comprehensive-Ice-42
Introduction
Having acne-prone, combination skin has always been a challenge for me. Breakouts, scarring, and sensitivity made it difficult to find the right balance in my skincare routine. However, after years of trial and error, I have found a regimen that works for me. My skin is now significantly better, thanks to a combination of a consistent skincare routine and professional treatments. In this blog, I will share my daily skincare routine, the treatments I undergo, and the progress I’ve made.
My Skincare Routine 
I have learned that consistency is key when it comes to skincare. I do not frequently switch out products, as I prefer to let my skin adjust and reap long-term benefits. Here’s my structured routine:
Morning Routine (AM) 
- Cleansing: I start my day with a gentle cleanse using the Simple Gentle Face Cleanser followed by Benzonix Face Wash. This ensures that my skin is clean and free from any overnight buildup.
- Moisturizing: I use Ipca Acne OC Ointment, which provides hydration while keeping my acne under control.
- Sun Protection: Applying sunscreen is non-negotiable. I use Sunblock OC 45 to protect my skin from harmful UV rays.
- Makeup: When I wear makeup, I opt for a light, skin-friendly option like Rare Beauty Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer, which provides a natural finish without clogging my pores.
Evening Routine (PM) 
My evening routine is similar to my morning regimen but without sunscreen and makeup. I cleanse my face using the same combination of Simple Gentle Face Cleanser and Benzonix Face Wash, followed by Ipca Acne OC Ointment for hydration and acne care.
My Acne Treatments 
Chemical Peels 
One of the most effective treatments for my acne-prone skin has been light AHA/BHA chemical peels. These peels help with:
- Exfoliating dead skin cells
- Reducing acne breakouts
- Improving skin texture
- Lightening pigmentation
Regular peels have significantly reduced my breakouts and have given my skin a smoother appearance.
ALMA Pixel Laser Resurfacing 
To tackle my acne scars and pigmentation, I undergo ALMA Pixel Laser Resurfacing once every three months. This treatment has helped me with:
- Reducing the appearance of deep acne scars
- Evening out skin tone
- Stimulating collagen production for healthier skin
My Skin’s Progress 
Over the years, my skin has improved drastically. Breakouts are now less frequent, and my scars have visibly lightened. While my journey is ongoing, I am happy with the progress I have made. The combination of a structured skincare routine and professional treatments has helped me regain confidence in my skin.
Final Thoughts 
Managing acne-prone skin requires patience, consistency, and the right treatments. If you are struggling with persistent acne or scarring, I highly recommend consulting a dermatologist to find the best solutions for your skin. Everyone’s skin is unique, and what works for me may not work for everyone, but staying dedicated to a routine can make a significant difference.
