💛 My Skincare Journey: How I Cleared Acne and Found My Simple, Real Routine

 

               When I was 19, during my school days, I went through a tough phase — emotionally and physically. One of the most frustrating things I faced was acne all over my face, especially on my forehead. The bumps ranged from small to big, and it really knocked my confidence.

I desperately wanted to find a solution but didn’t have the courage to try many things. The only thing I attempted at first was steaming my face, hoping it would help clear my skin. Unfortunately, it didn’t work.

The Struggle: Combination to Oily Skin & Persistent Acne

Back then, I hardly did anything for my skin except sometimes using powder to cover the acne. I also had a bad habit of constantly touching my pimples — which only made things worse, leaving dark spots all over my forehead.

Over time, I researched and sticked to my own rituals ,some important habits that really helped me manage my acne:

• Don’t touch your face unnecessarily (this is so hard, but crucial!)

• Eat healthy and cut down on sugar and dairy products

• Drink tea with jaggery instead of sugar (I add only a little milk, just once a day)

• Avoid cheese, paneer, and curd frequently — I consume them but only occasionally

• Drink adequate water

• Get peaceful, quality sleep

• Keep yourself happy and stress-free — this is the magic ingredient!

The Magic Product That Changed Everything: Sebamed Moisturizer

After trying many products and routines, I found one that truly worked for me — Sebamed Moisturizer. It’s a little pricier than what I usually spend, but totally worth it.

• The moisturizer is a clear gel, very lightweight with no smell, and feels like nothing on the skin.

• I used about three packages in total.

• After a month or two, my acne stopped breaking out. The dark spots began to fade.

• My cheeks started to glow, and I received many compliments on my skin!

After my acne cleared, I experimented with different moisturizers, but nothing worked as well as Sebamed.

My Long-Term Go-To: Pilgrim Oily Skin Moisturizer

Later, I found another moisturizer that fits my budget and skin type perfectly — Pilgrim Oily Skin Moisturizer.

• It has a light liquid consistency and mild fragrance.

• It dries quickly in about 10 seconds.

• After using it for two years, I rarely get pimples — maybe one a month or, in rare cases, 2–3 that heal quickly.

Post-Acne Bumps & The Power of Simplicity

After clearing acne, I did experience small bumps and some dissatisfaction with various products I tried. But thankfully, no serious skin problems occurred.

I also discovered a face pack — which was actually my first blog post — that was a game changer for my skin. Applying it twice a week made my skin even, bright, and gave me a natural glow.

My Simple Skincare Philosophy

• No fancy or complicated routines

• No heavy makeup (which can worsen skin problems)

• Keeping things simple, easy, and consistent

This approach helped me keep my skin calm and glowing without stress.

Final Thoughts

If you’re struggling with acne or skin issues, remember this: You don’t need to try every product on the market or follow complicated routines. Sometimes, gentle care, healthy habits, and the right moisturizer can work wonders.

And always, keep your mind peaceful and your heart happy — that’s the true glow from within.

Try It with Care: A Quick Note

Hey, just a heads up—I’m sharing my personal experience with these moisturizers, but I’m not a skincare consultant or dermatologist. Everyone’s skin is different, so please patch test any new product before using it all over your face.

If you notice any irritation or discomfort, stop using it and consult a skincare professional.

That said, these products really worked for me, and I hope they help you too! Feel free to give them a try gently and see how your skin responds.
