Resourceful Girl

1. Wash With Salicylic Acid
Neutrogena Body Clear Pink Grapefruit Body Wash . Wash every day. You’ll keep your skin clear and reduce ingrown hairs.

2. Exfoliate Three Times a Week
The Body Shop Bath Glove. Exfoliating will get kid of all the dry skin cells and guard against ingrown hairs. Use your daily wash with the gentle exfoliating glove three times a week.

3. Moisturize In The Shower
Neutrogena Body Oil or Olay In-Shower Body Lotion. When you wash your skin, you need to add moisture back in (rhyme unintentional). Moisture = soft skin. In-shower moisturizers are pretty new, but seriously up the silky skin game. These do make the shower a little slippery, so be extra careful!

4. Moisturize After the Shower
Nivea Body Firming Lotion or Vaseline Cocoa Butter. I wasn’t kidding about moisturizing. You should be using a body lotion every day – any brand will work. Once you make it a part of your routine, it really doesn’t take that long and is so worth the  extra two minutes. You’ll save time if you get one with a pump. It’s also worth mentioning that no lotion you buy at CVS will get rid of your cellulite or transform your legs, but the firming lotions will superficially tighten your skin and stay on a bit longer.

1. Wash Morning and Night
Normal Skin: Philosophy Purity Made Simple Facial Cleanser
Acne-Prone: Murad Clarifying Cleanser
It’s crucial to wash the day off your face every night and it’s a step that a lot of women skip.

2. Exfoliate Once to Twice a Week
Normal Skin: The Body Shop Aloe Gentle Exfoliator
Acne-Prone: Neutrogena Clear Pore Daily Scrub (I know it says Daily on the bottle, but still only use this no more than twice a week)
This step will promote new skin development and get rid of old skin cells that can clog your pores. Make sure you use an exfoliator with a fine texture, more abrasive exfoliants and applying too much pressure can make tiny tears in your skin and actually cause breakouts.

3. Moisturize
Philosophy Hope In A Jar or Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture
Use a light moisturizer after you wash in the morning. Depending on your skin, you can also moisturize after you wash at night. Both of these products have SPF versions. If you’re prone to breakouts or if your pores clog easily, only use SPF when you plan on being outside. Although it’s absolutely necessary when you’re in the sun, SPF can clog pores over time.

4. Monthly Masks
Moisture: The Body Shop Vitamin E Sink-In Moisture Mask
Clarify/Firm: Boscia Luminizing Black Mask
Acne: Murad Clarifying Mask
Whenever you need an extra boost of moisture, some skin clearing power, or when you really just need a girly night in the tub, these masks will help do the trick.
