After studying off-campus for a whole year, hearing that we will be going back has me feeling…well, a little anxious. I don’t know about you guys, but thinking about the upcoming school year and preparing to go back to campus has me breaking out immensely. Then I thought, ‘what are some products that you’ve used in the past for your breakouts?’ And the first product that came to mind was proactiv.
Proactiv has been out for years and still to this day is helping people achieve clear skin. Take it from me: you should add the Proactiv Solution® Acne Treatment System to your back-to-college shopping list. It gently cleanses and exfoliates while attacking acne-causing bacteria in the pores and helping to relieve inflammation caused by acne. Let me break down the three-step regimen for you.
- Renewing Cleanser
-
I have very oily skin and this cleanser washes away any excess oil, dirt and impurities. It also has small exfoliating beads that help remove dead skin cells. I can’t keep up with overly complicated skincare routines, so I love that all three products can be used together in the morning and at night. All you need to do is massage a good amount onto damp skin for one to two minutes, wash it off with warm water and pat dry.
- Revitalizing Toner
-
As a next step, this refreshing toner helps remove the remaining dirt and dead skin cells while balancing your skin tone. Not to mention, it is alcohol-free so you don’t have to worry about it drying out your skin. Just apply a generous amount to a cotton pad and gently glide it onto your skin in an upward motion, allow it to dry. Don’t rinse after this step, simply move onto the next treatment.
- Repairing Treatment
-
The last step sometimes gets confused with being a moisturizer but is actually a light leave-on treatment with benzoyl peroxide that absorbs into the skin to treat that stubborn acne. It helps to heal the blemishes and prevent any future breakouts. Using your favorite moisturizer after this step is highly recommended. Apply a very thin layer all over the face, and let dry.
We love a quick and easy routine, and this three-step regimen is available on target.com starting at $36. Now, would you consider using proactiv for those breakouts? I know I will. I definitely don’t need the stress of getting ready to go back to school showing up on my face, especially before seeing all my friends. Thankfully, proactiv can clear that up for me. And if you have a different skin type, there are multiple systems that work for various concerns. When you look good, you feel good. Am I right? Happy back-to-college shopping!
