Top skincare must-haves for oily/acne prone skin

Many people have oily/acne prone skin. Often times, they are focusing so much on getting rid of the acne, that they completely forget about treating the skin and preventing aging. The truth is, you can deal with acne while still preventing aging. You must invest to purchase the proper products. My personal favorite products for oily/acne prone skin are:

Cleanser: Dermalogica dermal clay cleanser
You can cleanse and leave it on the skin for a few moments. It really pulls out the impurities.
Day Serum: MD Skincare oil-free hydra pure serum
Very light and works well for daytime under an oil-free sunscreen. This serum pulls all the toxins off the skin leftover from the harsh chemicals in our city water.

Night-Time Treatment: Philosophy Help Me
Has the highest form of Retinol you can get without a doctor prescription. Retinol (Vitamin A) allows the skin to regenerate as you sleep. It rapidly removes dead skin cells and promotes younger, healthy skin.Weekly Treatment: Ahava Mud Mask
Amazing and a very potent mud mask. The salt pulls out the toxins and really cleanses the skin.

Remember to always use sunscreen as it prevents the scarring from acne called hyper pigmentation. Hyper pigmentation is a whole other monster, and it is best to protect and prevent from this as much as possible.
