Happy Sunday🍂! Today, I am sharing with you my favourite products to achieve an even skin texture. Struggling with acne most of my life, I’ve always looked for solutions to make my skin feel soft and smooth. So, today, I wish to share with you what worked for me and what I would recommend 😍!
Now, let’s get into it and don’t forget to check out my previous post: MAKING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR MENSTRUAL PHASE.
The Best Products For a Smooth Skin Texture
Exfoliating Toners 💦
The first category of products on my list is exfoliating toners. Exfoliating toners are key for a smooth texture. They remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, help control acne and smooth out bumpy skin.
Above are some of my personal favourites, but my go-to one is the Anti-Redness Exfoliating solution by Paula’s Choice. It’s gentle, effective and soothing.
The Watermelon Glow toner by Glow Recipe is a wonderful option for drier and more sensitive skins. It has a great cocktail of actives to gently exfoliate the skin and contains hydrating agents like watermelon extract, hyaluronic acid and cactus water to nourish the skin. It does contain fragrance so beware if your skin is not tolerant.
Exfoliating serums 🫧
Serums with exfoliating properties are another way you can achieve a smooth and soft skin. They are heavier in texture than toners and are generally more hydrating.
If you have a sensitive skin or a weak skin barrier, I’d highly recommend the ceramide barrier serum by Cocokind. It has a wonderful blend of ingredients to nourish the skin while gently exfoliating it. One of the main ingredients is in fact lactic acid which is a gentle active.
The exfoliating serum i personally use is the Beta Hydroxy Acid by The Inkey List. It comes at an affordable price and does wonders to acne-prone skin. The main ingredient is salicylic acid which is the perfect active to target acne and unclog pores.
The last item on my recommendation’s list is more categorized as a booster and it’s the 10% Azelaic Acid by Paula’s Choice. Azelaic Acid is a powerful ingredient that brightens, smoothes and perfects the skin. It really helps evening out skin texture and at the same time, soothes redness. It also works well with other actives. It’s truly an amazing ingredient. The Paula’s Choice one also contains salicylic acid which is, again, amazing to target acne.
Retinol serums ✨
The third category of products to achieve a smooth skin texture is retinol. Retinol is a key ingredient to achieve a healthy skin. It targets many skin issues, including uneven skin texture, and allows to you have a more bright complexion. I personally use it twice per week, whenever I am not exfoliating.
Back when my skin barrier was damaged, I loved to use the Super Antioxidant serum with 0.01% retinol by Paula’s Choice. It’s safe enough to use every day and is actually extremely hydrating and nourishing. The one I’m currently using is the 0.3% retinol with 2% bakuchiol treatment to target fine lines, deep wrinkles, enlarged pores and loss of firmness.
