I’m going to share the things I’ve been seeing real results from while taking care of my skin lately.

The first thing I want to recommend is cleansing oil. I used to wash my face with just a foam cleanser, but since I started double cleansing with cleansing oil, I definitely feel like my pores are less clogged. In particular, it used to be a long-standing concern that sunscreen residue wouldn't come off properly, but that has been resolved.

The second tip is layering hydrating toner. I found that applying a thin layer two or three times instead of wiping my face once made a difference in my skin condition the next morning. I think it's more important to properly use what you already have than to buy one expensive product.

The third step is finishing with aloe soothing gel before bed. It feels like it calms irritated skin, so just doing this makes a difference in my skin condition when I wake up in the morning. None of these three things are anything fancy, but doing them consistently has noticeably stabilized my overall skin condition.
