OMG that was soooo dramatic(LOL) why do I start every post so dramatically. Basically I’m gonna tell you guys how I keep my skin from looking gross. Having healthy skin is extremely important to me, I mean it totally should be because the skin is the largest organ of the integumentary system. I honestly don’t know where that knowledge came from…..just kidding Google obvi. ANYWAY, I recently became obsessed with skincare and having “perfect” skin. My skin care routine is really simple but hella effective. It’s pretty much the same as anyone else’s ” cleanse, moisturize…. and all that jazz”. But there’s one product I used that saved my LIFE. Again dramatic(LOL), Acne.orhg is literally a product sent from heaven. No this isn’t sponsored( I’m irrelevant). There products are the reason my skin is flourishing. Well not in these pictures below(obviously LOL)
As you can see, my skin wasn’t terrible but I had a lot of little pimples and some scaring.
I was prone to larger pimples on my forehead and nose #killmenow. BTW let’s not talk about how NON-EXISTENT my eyebrows were…this was CLEARLY a rough time for me(LOL)
I was never “embarrassed” or felt weird about having acne, It was just another thing people go through that sucked. The only time I felt like acne was slowly trying to ruin my life(LOL) was when I became more into makeup. My makeup would look AMAZING, eyeshadow perfect(..eh), eyebrows were literally #goals, my highlight was blinding all my haters( what hatersLOL)…BUT then you look up and see a HUGE planet on my forehead(sigh). So once I realized I was ugly and I couldn’t live like this anymore(JK) I started looking more into skin care and what can help me become…well less ugly. This is why I LOVE Youtube, you can literally find ANYTHING on there. You wanna learn about makeup…Youtube, you wanna learn how to cook…Youtube, you wanna learn how to become an astronaut and fly to space!…Youtu- okay maybe not for that. So I stubbled across a beautiful Youtuber by the name of Alyssa Forever. She’s beautiful and her skin, makeup, hair is ALWAYS popping. Seriously look at her!…#jelly.
She made a video about Acne.org and how it basically changed her life. I was a little hesitant because…lying on Youtube is a thing(duh). However!, when I saw her before and after pictures… I WAS SOLD!. Of course I didn’t just watch her video, I honestly watched so many Acne.org videos because if there’s one thing I hate…it’s wasting money on things that don’t work. Luckily for me, it worked wonders and it’s the only thing that TRULY works for my skin. So basically what it is, it’s a 3-step regimen.
First, you cleanse(obvi) their cleanser is really great. It’s not overly drying and it’s perfect for sensitive skin. If I’m being completely honest… you don’t really need the cleanser. That isn’t what “changed” my skin. A cheaper dupe for their cleanser would be Cetaphil. Anyway.. next you would use the “treatment” which is benzoyl peroxide. Now hold on, I know that sounds like something you wouldn’t want to put on your face but it’s only 2.5% of benzoyl peroxide. So it’s like totally fine..right? This is by far the most important step, the benzoyl peroxide really dried up my pimples and reduced my acne scaring which is what I wanted! #blessed. The last step is also very important and that is the moisturizer. The treatment and moisturizer work hand and hand, because the treatment DOES dry out your skin( which is kinda annoying) the moisturizer really does a great job at..well moisturizing your skin(LOL). I can’t express enough, how much I love this regimen and I will continue to use it FOREVER(lol). You guys are probably like “tati we get it you like the products.. but where are the results though?”. You guys clearly don’t know me by now( I’m hurt tbh), as I always say….I gotcha covered.
I love my standard ” hand on forehead” pose(LOL). Why am I not a model yet?. As you can see( said every Youtuber ever) my skin has cleared up tremendously. Of course my skin isn’t perfect but it’s a lot better than what it was originally. Can we also talk about my eyebrow GLOWUP! That’s another post for another day( honestly the best decision of my life). Well that’s the story of how I became pretty. What’s your favorite skin care products, let me know in the comments down below!
