Dear Kenni,
Thank you for your question about facial care.
I will start by answering your last question regarding mild skincare products:
All skincare products must be mild and not contain harsh and irritating ingredients. This also goes for all types of ethereal oils and fragrances.
I will recommend you the following products to keep your skin clean, healthy and protected:
CLEANSING PRODUCT TO USE MORNING AND EVENING
Which in a gentle way removes dirt and other things from the surface of your skin. Please note, that blackheads are not caused by dirt in the pores and therefore they cannot be cleansed away.
CRÉME TO USE AFTER CLEANSING
That contains antioxidants, so your skin is protected from free radicals that will destroy skin cells.
That contains exfoliating ingredients, which will also help with removing blackheads. Look for AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid, for example glycolic acid or lactic acid) or BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid = salicylic acid), which contains moisturizing ingredients, for example glycerine or hyaluronic acid.
The only difference that there has to be between your day crème and night crème is that your day crème has to contain sunscreen, that protects from both UVA and UVB rays (for example a physical sunscreen like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide).
Evening: Perfect Skin Moisturizer.
Day with sunscreen: Perfect Skin Day Protector.
I hope you have a lovely evening.
