Preguntas y respuestas de expertos: Rutina de cuidado de la piel simple y efectiva para una piel clara, saludable y brillante

Se sometió a un curso de 6 meses de medicamentos orales recetados y en el proceso creó @_myskinstory para compartir el viaje de su piel, la transformación y ayudar a otros.

Cuéntanos más sobre tu experiencia con el acné.

Había pasado mis años de adolescencia con solo un grano ocasional. Sin embargo, a finales de 2015, volví de unas vacaciones de chicas y desarrollé acné adulto como una venganza.

Como maquilladora y esteticista, no cumplía los requisitos para tener acné, no podía tener acné. ¡¿Cómo pudo haberme pasado esto?!

En el transcurso de un año, seguí negándome , convencida de que mi brote de acné era solo un brote .

Mientras continuaba echándome productos en la piel, mi acné seguía empeorando. Mi madre me convenció para que viera a un médico e inmediatamente me ofrecieron medicamentos orales recetados, pero no estaba dispuesto a correr el riesgo (particularmente en defectos de nacimiento), así que opté por antibióticos y cremas recetadas.

Estas cremas eran tan fuertes que me despertaba por las noches sintiendo que me ardía la cara.

"Estaba en mi punto más bajo. Era inseguro, feo e inútil y no podía vencer el acné".

Finalmente acepté que la medicación oral recetada era mi último recurso. En este punto estaba en mi punto más bajo. ¡Me sentí inseguro, desconfiado, feo e inútil, por nombrar algunos!


¿Cómo nació @_myskinstory?

Un amigo mío me animó a ver a una bloguera que había documentado su viaje con medicamentos orales recetados en YouTube.

Recuerdo mirar y llorar todo el tiempo. El coraje que tuvo para ser tan abierta y mostrar sus emociones crudas ante la cámara me animó a crear @_myskinstory.

"Cada día, independientemente de lo feo que me sintiera, tomaba 3 fotos, 1 del lado izquierdo, 1 del lado derecho y 1 de frente".

Para mi sorpresa en los días malos, estas fotos que acechaban en mi galería de fotos en realidad me hicieron sentir mucho mejor, ya que pude comparar lo mal que estaba mi piel.

Avanzando rápidamente hasta 2019, Nunca pensé que sería capaz de sentirme seguro de mí mismo ¡y con mi piel otra vez!

Ha sido una enorme montaña rusa llegar a donde estoy hoy y ahora incluso puedo decir que estoy agradecida de haber sufrido acné.

Me ha enseñado mucho sobre el cuidado de la piel y he podido ayudar a muchas otras personas a través de mi propia experiencia.

Con tu experiencia, ¿qué recomiendas como rutina de cuidado de la piel para pieles propensas al acné?

Cuando me pidan mi opinión más valiosa y consejos generales para cualquier persona que desee comenzar su propio viaje de cuidado de la piel, mis DEBES tener en tu rutina deberían ser:

MAÑANA:

  1. Limpia: Utiliza un limpiador/lavado facial suave que no se seque ni cause irritación en la piel.
  2. Iluminar: usa el suero de vitamina C para iluminar tu tez.
  3. Hidrata: es importante mantener la piel correctamente hidratada, por lo que utilizo tres productos en este paso:
    • Brociado de agua de rosas: una fuente suave de agua para la piel.
    • Ácido hialurónico: ayuda a la piel a retener agua.
    • Clearly's Protective Moisturizer: ayuda a fortalecer y mejorar la textura de la piel.
  4. Proteger: Finalmente, siempre termine cualquier rutina con un protector solar de amplio espectro que proteja su piel de los rayos UVA y UVB.

 

TARDE:

  1. Limpieza: Lavar solo dos veces al día. El exceso de lavado puede irritar la piel y forzarla a producir un exceso de grasa.
  2. Hidrata: Repite los mismos pasos de la mañana:
    • Brociado de agua de rosas: una fuente suave de agua para la piel.
    • Ácido hialurónico: ayuda a la piel a retener agua.
  3. Tratamiento: Uso Clear Out (2 % de retinol) de Clearly Basics para hacer que mi piel sea menos propensa al acné, mejora la textura y ralentiza el proceso de envejecimiento de mi piel.

Si ya no tienes acné activo, ¿por qué sigues necesitando retinol?

Mi piel todavía es propensa al acné así que para evitar los brotes, todavía uso el Clear Out todas las noches para asegurarme de que la piel muerta no se convierta en obstrucciones dentro de mis poros¹.

En la superficie, el retinol funciona para mejorar la textura de mi piel² y para darme un brillo húmedo

Además, el retinol es el estándar de oro para el antienvejecimiento³: una vez que pasa de los 24 a los 26 años, comienza a perder el 1 % del colágeno de la piel cada año.

El retinol ayuda a detener la pérdida de colágeno y se recomienda comenzar temprano contra el proceso de envejecimiento.

"Recomiendo un retinol a cualquier persona, independientemente de su tipo de piel o preocupación, y es un todoterreno, que ayuda no solo a los microcomedones persistentes, sino también a la pigmentación, las líneas finas y las arrugas, además de brindar un brillo natural luminoso a todos se esfuerza por lograr".

¿Puedo usar cualquier producto a base de retinol? ¿Qué tiene de especial el Clear Out?

He usado una amplia gama de productos a base de retinol y NADA ha sido tan efectivo como el Clear Out. Usan retinol certificado por USP (grado más alto) y amplifican el efecto usando AZA, que es algo que NO PUEDES ENCONTRAR en ningún otro lugar del mercado.

Esta combinación es más suave y más efectiva que otros productos a base de retinol que he usado en el pasado. Mantiene mi piel brillante en su mejor momento.

¿Qué tiene de especial el Protective Moisturizer de Clearly Basics?

Está cargado con péptidos Estos son bloques de construcción de aminoácidos de la piel que estimulan la reparación de la piel. A medida que la piel se fortalece, vemos una disminución del enrojecimiento y la sensibilidad.

Este humectante fue diseñado originalmente para usuarios con medicamentos orales recetados para que pueda manejar las condiciones más difíciles de la piel.

"Es uno de los mejores humectantes faciales que he usado".

Incluso si algunos productos parecen costar un poco más que otros, lo animo a que se pregunte, ¿cuál de las siguientes opciones elegiría?

¿Cuál es tu consejo para mantener una piel saludable y brillante?

¿Cuál es tu mayor motivo favorito en el cuidado de la piel?

Dermaplaning se comercializa como una forma de exfoliante para eliminar las células muertas de la piel, así como el vello 'peachy alboroto' que en realidad se llama vello velloso. Este vello está ahí para proteger su piel de la suciedad, las bacterias, la contaminación y cualquier otra cosa que nuestra piel entra en contacto con todos los días.

Quitar este vello significa que es más probable que tengas brotes, piel seca y, en algunos casos, sé que causa acné en personas que anteriormente tenían la piel clara.

Los riesgos superan con creces las recompensas de este tratamiento facial; si desea una piel clara, suave y brillante, puede lograrlo exfoliando y manteniendo una buena rutina de cuidado de la piel.

So glad to have found these products!

Finding products that helped to control my acne without irritating my sensitive skin has always been a huge challenge. The clearly basics products have been my saviour, I can't recommend them enough ☺️

Definitely seeing improvements

I've struggled with acne for the last few years. I've tried many different topical things to clear it but nothing was working. I decided to try Clearly Basics and have definitely seen improvements! I've been using this combo for about 2 months and am loving the results so far. Obviously, my face isn't perfect yet but it's a marathon, not a sprint, and I understand that. Here's to consistency and better results as I continue my journey! I've attached some before and after pictures, all with a makeup-free face so you can see my honest progress.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Excellent and actually works

I am so incredibly impressed with the TLC for pore minimising - it 💯 works and has transformed my skin.

I’m in my 50’s and always had hormonal flare ups with larger pores as I age - this is a game changer and have just reordered my 3rd bottle !

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Adult acne is a new thing for me- I’ve had clear skin growing up so the outbreaks were very stressful! I did everything and anything I could, from watching YouTube reviews, trying out cult products to professional advice, but nothing quite did the job. So how the power duo panned out for me was definitely a pleasant (-ly hugeeee) surprise. I do acknowledge that my acne challenges are not on the extremely severe end, but I must say, emotionally the positive outcome of using both the power duo encouraged me to wear my skin as it is again. It’s really worthwhile trying as it is also a no fuss duo; hence the currently gild of my staple skincare products.

I saw a huge reduction in new pimples and any new pimples scars healed and disappeared a lot quicker

I have struggled with acne since I was 12 years old. All through my teenage and adult life my skin has been unpredictable and the breakouts have been constant and so frustrating. I’ve tried everything you could imagine but nothing worked reliably. Clear Out and lighten up have been a total game changer for me and I couldn’t be happier with the results

Tried every product out there from proactiv to slurp! None worked, they infact aggravated the condition! Tried clearlybasics as last resort and oh boy it works! Worth every penny! First time in 20 years, stepped out without wearing base makeup! Never thought this day would come!

This stuff changed my life!!!!
After reading the reviews I never thought it would work for me in the same way as it had for other people, as my skin was so bad and cystic. But after just a few months of using this and cutting down on dairy, my skin was 10 times better!
I’m still religiously using the Power Duo and don’t think I’ll ever stop 😊

I am 32 years old and still suffering from acne. I tried many things, but acne will dissappear and come back. Now I am using this product and my skin is getting better. Still I get some acne, but hopefully it clear all. But I am not sure how long I should use this product ?

Ive been using clear out for about 3 months and I have noticed a big change. Breakouts are minimal and my skin is looking and feeling much clearer. Im just about to start the clear out extra strength to try and clean out the remaining stubborn cystic bumps. Id like the pigmentation and scars to fade quicker, but Im sure they will in time. Overall Im happy with the product and can notice the change when comparing photos.

I love clearly basics so much!! My skin has cleared up amazingly, check out @myacnepage on insta or clearly basics website to see how far my skin has come while using their products. I love the power duo especially and recommend to anyone who has been struggling with acne or redness/hyperpigmentation and scarring

"""I have been struggling with acne for 10 years. This is by far the best product. I started out with brown pigmentation (acne marks) and a lot of tiny bumps of acne on my forehead, cheek and nose (kind of like sand paper). As soon as I started the Clear Out and Lighten Up, my acne bumps got smaller and smaller. My brown pigmentation began turning lighter (reddish pinkish).
⠀⠀
Initially, when I started using it, I didn't really get a 'purge' it was just a small amount of break outs which went away in a few weeks. Now my hormonal break outs are not as terrible as before, they still appear but barely noticeable.
⠀⠀
My skin is acne free, pigmentation are still there but they've improved tremendously. The Clear Out does not dry out your skin at all, even when I apply makeup on, it's not patchy."""

Started using the Power Duo approximately 2-3 months ago, the creams have really helped to improve my skin quality, it feels so much smoother. I still have pigmentation which I will be starting to use the Dark Mark Defense for. But overall VERY happy with the Power Duo

"Amazing!!

Never have I found a brand that is so gentle on my skin but works wonders.

The lighten up is the best thing for redness, the difference in just one day on my pictures below.

Can't recommend enough, especially for hormonal acne.

Thank you Clearly"

Before I started using Clearly Basics, I was using normal pharmacy products and this obviously wasn’t enough. I was having a lot of breakouts and cysts underneath the skin. I found Clearly through a giveaway which I participated and won, and I’m so glad it gave me the opportunity to try their products. 2 months in, I was amazed how powerful the products are, especially the Power Duo, and I absolutely love them. My skin has changed so much, it heals much faster now. I definitely recommend trying.

This company is honestly incredible! I have been struggling with really painful hormonal cystic acne for years. I was prescribed oral medication, but decided against taking it because of all the side effects. So I did some research and found Clearly Basics! I have been using the Power Duo for 3 months and the progress my skin has made has been amazing! It has cleared my skin without causing any irritation or sensitivity. I am finally at the stage where I can leave the house without makeup! My skin is clear!! The customer service is also very personal and efficient. I don’t have enough wonderful things to say about these products, they literally saved my skin.

Really lovely product range! The power duo is the first thing, after 6 years of searching, that has helped my hormonal acne. I've tried antibiotics, differin, epiduo and everything range going but my skin got burnt, the acne came back or just didn't work. Clealry have the balance just right of clearing out your pores to prevent acne and calm pigmentation without irritating the skin. Absolutely amazing stuff that has transformed my skin!

I've had acne since I was in high school. It was coming and going, but I never got rid of it completely. Last year, I had a few months without acne at all and I thought "Okay, great. This is it." But then it started coming back. So I went to see a doctor and they gave me some prescriptions. They didn't work. I saw an ad for Clearly Basics on social media once, and I was like, "This is great! But do I trust online products like this?" And guess what? I'm back here and I trust them completely because I've seen results. I started using Clearly almost 3 months ago, had a purging period where everything was just coming out. Now I'm in my third month, and I really like the results so far. My skin has cleared up, and there aren't any large bumps underneath my skin anymore. And it's just great, honestly. I didn't expect a product I bought online to be this helpful and useful. I wouldn't go anywhere else anymore after this.

I love what the Sensitive Skin Trio (Clear Out + Lighten Up + Protective Moisturizer) has done for my skin! I had tried so many things before trying these products out and my skin was at its worst and peeling horribly, but I noticed a difference within the first week of using these products. The So Fresh cleanser is so refreshing and it has worked so well without stripping my skin. And with the Dark Mark Defense, my dark marks have faded greatly in comparison to when I first started using it. Since starting Clearly, I have upgraded to the Clear Out Extra Strength and even with the stronger formulation, I don’t experience any sensitivity and my skin has never looked or felt better! My skin is not dull or dry, and even has a glow, and the texture of my skin has also improved significantly

"I have been using Clearly for about 5 weeks and I am blown away by results. I have no large lumps, which is awesome because they were super painful. My skin is smooth and soft and everyday I see my red scars fading. I had tried so many things from drug store brands to high end products for my cystic acne and nothing worked.
After months of struggling and literally hating my skin I can not believe how amazon it looks"

I have always struggled with acne ever since I was a teenager. Constant breakouts, constant red marks, fading into acne scars that I still probably have today. I found Clearly through social media and I was really taken in by their testimonials, so I took the leap. I started with the Clear Out + Lighten Up (Power Duo), and I really was able to see that any breakouts I was having would go away faster than I've ever seen and the Lighten Up would get rid of those red marks very quickly. Eventually I moved into the Clear Out Extra Strength and I was able to really feel like I was clearing out my clogged pores and really resetting my skin. I also added the Dark Mark Defense to really target those dark marks, acne scars that I've had since I was a teenager, and I was able to see the difference within the first month, which was really exciting for me to really target those spots that have been bothering me for years!

"I swear the Power Duo (Clear Out and Lighten Up) are a GOD-send! I've been using both consistently for 3 months now and my skin has NEVER looked or felt better! I haven't experienced a breakout since March and more than 80% of my hyperpigmentation is GONE!

I'm so grateful to have finally found a product that actually works for my skin!

If you're dealing with acne breakouts and hyperpigmentation, you should def research Clearly Basics."

Skin Type: Combination
Very happy!

Love the texture, the minty scent and the lather.
I wish the bottles were a bit bigger HOWEVER they are just small enough to fly with.

Skin Type: Normal
Comments: The only thing I now need to use to keep my skin clear.
The holy grail for clearing hormonal acne.

This is the only product that I have needed to keep my skin clear since discovering it about 2 years ago, after suddenly developing cystic hormonal acne at the age of 25. I now only need to use it every second night, so it's incredibly affordable. It has also never irritated my sensitive skin and it has faded previous acne marks to truly clear my skin. After years of trying expensive supplements/products/harsh prescription creams, Clear Out was the only thing that gave me long-lasting results.

Skin Type: Oily
Clearly Basics is the only product that has helped my Adult Acne

I have always struggled with dehydrated acne prone skin. Every month like clockwork I would get a new breakout on my chin or cheek area. These included large cystic acne that by the time they came to a head would take me months to clear. With new breakouts each month this created more & more spots before the first could heal leaving more hyper pigmentation spots that never have time to clear. Clearly basics changed all that for me. It gave my skin a chance to heal and reduced the number of breakouts each month. When I do get a new breakout it resolves itself quickly with less scarring and redness. Now that the acne is under control the products are helping to eliminate the remaining hyper pigmentation spots left from years of acne. I have not been using the product for long but I will continuing relying on this product and look forward to the day I can happily look in the mirror at a smooth clear & even complexion some day soon.
