Glycolic acid cleansing pads are great. I use superdrug ones but Nip&Fab do them also. I am also a former acne sufferer and I find these the best for dealing with scarring and pores.

Also any kind of anti ageing skincare will work great (even if you are young and don't need it) as they are designed so smooth skin.

Please don’t say you cut out wine and dairy

Primer will make your skin look better, NYX pore filler is good.

Paula's choice bha toner. It takes about 4 weeks to see an improvement and the first week you'll wake up to an oily face as it loosens the oil in your pores.

It's truly amazing. I use it once nightly.

I know water plays a big part of good skin but i don’t drink much of it partly because it makes me feel sick I can’t stomach it

I've been using skin and me for about 6 months and have never had such glowy skin. It has fixed my acne issues as well. I no longer feel the need to wear any foundation for the first time in my adult life.

I signed up using a referral code at the beginning and am happy to pass mine on as well if anyone was considering trying it out.
