What are your skincare secrets?
I was just wondering if anyone has any skincare secrets they use to keep their skin fresh and blemish free. I have blemish prone skin and I have spent WAY too much money trying to find something that works for my skin. I have tried accutane ([erscribed by my dermatologist, Proactive, and many over the counter acne treatments and none of them have given me the results that I want. So, please share your skincare secrets with me 
Cleaning your skin is a must! You also need to protect it. 80 percent of aging is caused by the environment and free radicals.
Your skin is on a 21 day cycle so don’t expect immediate results after starting a new regimen, wait 3 weeks before deciding it doesn’t work. Okay…
Cleanse, Repair and Moisturize… Yes moisturize. All skin types need moisture.
For acne prone skin I’d recommend Clinique or Prescriptives.
For a cleanser, try something that has salicylic acid in it. Clinique is best for this. For a repair product, you can choose Prescriptives acne serum or Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair (which might I say will solve almost any skin care problem) As for moisturizer, I’ve found Estee Lauder’s oily formula to be the best.
Exfoliation is also a must. For that try a gentle one such as Clinique 7 day scrub.
*Of course you can find similar products in drug stores, I am just not familiar with any of them. The key ingredient is salicylic acid in the cleanser and hyaluronic acid in the repair and/or moisturizer.
I know this is a lot to throw out there but acne prone skin is the most difficult to treat. It depends greatly on if your skin is dry and irritated or just extremely oily.

you need to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. Eat very healthy food, no junk or anything with high sugar. make a face mask once a week. Ulta has a really good avocado one out of a tube. use a good makeup remover (i use sisheido, or something like that). ummm dont wear bad makeup like drug store stuff. but im surprised acutane didnt work. Maybe do the neutragena clean and clear? ive heard it works

1) Drink a ton of water
2) Wash your face 2-3 times per day w/ an oil free face wash
3) After you wash your face, apply lemon juice evenly all over, especially where you are most prone
4) use a non-comedogenic moisturizer every night
5)never sleep in your makeup
6) use an oil-free, non-comedogenic, high quality sunscreen of at least 30 spf (no wrinkles later)
