glazed donut! #skintok #skincareroutine #oilyskin #skincareproducts #skincaretips

I put a quarter of a cup of moisturizer on my face twice a day. How on earth do I not break out considering the fact that I have oily skin? I'm not a dermatologist. I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a story. I used to have a lot of acne on my forehead on my jawline and I was using all of those products that are intended to be used for oily skin. The gel moisturizers, the drying toners. I don't know why I used those for years thinking that's what I was supposed to use. At the same time, I was breaking out. I swear it was not until I started to lather my skin in oil and moisturizer that I finally stopped breaking out. And I don't know if it's correlation or causation, but the wetter my skin is the better. If I don't go to bed looking like a glazed donut, then my skin suffers. I have to be careful explaining this because I need you guys to know I am not using I end skincare products. There is not a million fragrances in the products I'm using. I'm using simple products like vany cream. I even mix cats or oil with my vany cream. So nothing is irritating to my skin. There's no added fragrance. That would be very different if you were using a thick moisturizer that was heavily scented. I really don't think it would perform the same way. Now before everyone with oily skin freaks out in the comments, I realize everyone's skin is different. I'm not saying this will for sure work for you. If you refuse to take pictures of your face like I used to because your acne is so bad and you have oily skin, please consider auditing your skincare routine, especially if you tend to gravitate towards products that say for oily skin. Try a simple skincare routine. Products that have been on the shelves for decades that have a good reputation for a reason. Again, might not work for you, but definitely worth a try.
