Clinique 3-step Opinions/Reviews?

The tough thing about this is what may work for me won't necessarily work for you because of different skin types (I have combination skin). Now acne may be somewhat hereditery but there are certain things you can you to minimize the impact of the acne. First off, washing your face so often can actually make your acne worse because when you wash away the natural oils onyour face, it unbalances the balance of your skin and your skin has to overcompensate by overproducing more oils which results in more acne. Wash your face at night only and in the morning, just splash a bit of water on your face but don't over do anything. Unless you've been out splashing around in the mud, your face is NOT dirty. The first time I started washing my face in my teens is when I actually started developing acne... As for the clinique 3 step system, I would go to the clinique desk and ask for a sample set first which they usually give for free. They will ess your skin and give you the 3 steps which are proper for yor skin. I have used it and I found it to be just ok- nothing special. I actually found the toner to be really irritating and drying and caused more breakouts at times. But it may work really well for you. Try a sample! The best product I ever used for acne is the ocean salt scrub from the Lush store which is AMAZING. The sea salt, lime juice and vodka kills your blemishes and exfoliates so well so your pores aren't plugged up. You shouldn't use it more than twice a week though as a scrub/face wash because it is potent and could hurt your skin if you over-use it. You can even use it as a spot treatment because the sea salt will dry out the zit without killing your skin. So in conclusion, be careful that your not washing your face too much because it can make the situation worse and don't use harsh irritating soaps and give the 3 setp system a try. But- try BEFORE you buy!
