How to Remove ACNE in Photoshop

Since I always talk about acne and different ways of getting rid of it, I thought of teaching you another way to remove it. Err, at least in pictures.

These days, it has somehow become a norm to use filters and other photo editing apps to make photos for Instagram and for Facebook a whole lot better. Here is a quick tutorial on how to remove your acne using Photoshop!

Th photo that I used in the tutorial was taken in 2012 when I had severe acne breakout. However, I thought it won't be appropriate to make you guys cringe because of the sight of my ugly acne so I decided not to post the "before" picture. Be sure to watch the video to see it!

I hope you like this quick tutorial. I thought it would be nice to have a tutorial in a different genre but still has something to do with skin and acne.

Foundation and Concealer Routine for Acne Prone Skin

I've already posted an old foundation and concealer routine tutorial last year but that was when I still had bad skin. Since some of you requested for an updated one, I decided to film one last Christmas. Which explains why there's still a tree behind me in January! hehe I got caught up with stuff that I only had the time to finally finish editing this video today.

Some people may be curious why my skin looks good in pictures and in videos. Aside from the skin care routine and skin treatments that I use, I also rely on makeup sometimes. 

Here's how my skin looks before and after applying foundation and concealer:

using my favorite foundation and concealer :

PRODUCTS I USED :

Too Faced Primed and Poreless Face Primer

Sleek Makeup Creme to Powder Foundation (Bamboo)

Etude House Sponge Applicator

Naturactor Concealer (151)

Revlon Nearly Naked Powder (020 Light Pale)

Those products are my favorites because they all work together to give me better looking skin. I have tried using each product alone and with another product but I have observed that they work better when used together, especially with my skin type. Though I recently got a Beauty Blender sponge so I will try using it soon instead of the Korean brand sponge. I'll let you know which one works better! ;)

Human Nature 100% Natural Sunflower Beauty Oil Review

I have heard so many good reviews about this Human Nature Sunflower oil. However, I never really dared to try it because I always advice people not to try a lot of products at once and just stick to the regimen/products that work for them. But I got so curious with this oil that I finally decided to give it a try. 

Using sunflower oil has a lot of benefits depending on how you use it. If you use it for cooking, it can help in lowering cardiovascular diseases, lower cholesterol, prevent asthma, cancer, etc., fight free radicals and so much more! When used on the skin, it helps retain moisture. It is also rich in Vitamin E that will help repair your skin. It also lightens scars and helps improve wrinkle appearance. 

WHERE TO GET IT : Human Nature Store - IskulSuplaysPlusMore on Facebook 

PRICE : Php 274 for 100 ml | Php 149.75 for 50 ml


Here's how my skin looked before using the oil

For full product demonstration and more information about the product, please watch the video below!

Some people asked if my current skin routine is not working anymore and why I keep on having breakout. The truth is, I don't know, either. The only consistent products I am using are the Eskinol + Dalacin and the Beausche soap. It's not always that I get breakout, though. It happens every 2 or 3 months. Huge spots, like what you see in the picture below, would grow on my face, especially when I am nearing my "period" week,

This is how my skin looked after 3 days of using the product.

Sadly, I failed to take photos of my skin thereafter. But if you want to see the final result, please watch the end of the video I have embedded on this post. 

LIKES :

• Fiipino-made product
• Inexpensive
• No weird smell
• No stingy feel on skin
• The oil somehow gets absorbed by the skin
• No further breakout occurred
• Lightened my acne scars 
• Mositurized my skin

DISLIKES :

• Not available on local stores/groceries
• The result is not abrupt, the user must be patient

Overall, this is a nice product to have. I like that it is very inexpensive and a few drops are enough for the face so the bottle would last for months. It also moisturized my skin and evened out my complexion. It was not very effective in removing my deep,dark acne scars, though. But for it's price and benefit, this is a really nice product to try. I would suggest this to people with only minimum acne. I will never suggest "oil" products to people that are still suffering from "severe" acne. For severe acne situations, it is always best to treat the problem first before beautifying the skin. Please CLICK HERE if you have other acne related concerns.

I hope you found this blog post helpful. (Online sellers, please DO NOT use my acne photos to sell/advertise your products that I never use. Thanks!)

Thank you for reading today!
