[B&A] Brace yourself it’s a long one. My before and after of my crazy skin journey. Ive tried so many lotions and potions to try and get clear skin but things never seem to look up for me. Until my current skin care routine. My skin is far from perfect but, I’m happy with the progress thus far!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Acne cleared up I was left with horrible PIH and uneven skin tone. I couldn’t even recognize myself anymore. Acne is the first battle and boy is it horrible but the after math is just as bad. Well at least it was for me. I had darkness everywhere and it was not cute. And although it’s far from where I want it to be I had to be grateful and appreciative for how far I have came.I’ve tried countless of things to help my skin. Some made it worse, some brought the acne back full force, some burnt my face, some things worked and when I stopped using it, it will gave horrible rebound (more on this later). But my skin was just going hey wire and I didn’t know what to do, I would cancel my events, parties with you friends you name it.I was determined to get it at least under control and find something, my HG items for me. (side note: trying to find your perfect products takes a lot of trial and error) so don’t give up. So long story short I’m happy with how my skin is looking so far and can’t wait to see how much more it can improve!Things I’ve tried I just can’t use, no matter how well they may work for others. And if you want to know some reviews on things and why it didn’t work let me know!No No’s for me:• retin-a micro• retin a gel / cream• hydroquoine gel/ cream• TCA peels• any glycolic acids• ponds b3 cream• microneedling• differin• timeless vitamin c serum• benton snail essences• lemon juice• Aztec clay masks• neutrogena sunscreens• likas payapa soap• tea tree oil• squalane oil• African black soap• cerave PM/AM• cerave tub/ lotion• Thayers witch hazel lemon version• jojoba oil• lasers• good genes• MUAC fade serum/ fade peel• Benton aloe toner• IKB GEL• MD Complete skincare line• Image skincare line• Elta AM moisturizer• Elta Face cleanser• MUAC mandalic tonerLiterally everything! I’m missing a few but, most of these things either burned, clogged my pores, gave my allergic reaction, made things to sensitive or just didn’t give any results. Mind you I didn’t use all these products at once nor did I just use it for a second and give it up, I’ve been battling acne since 14 and I’m 24 now. So, I’ve used a lot of crap to say the least.Products that are HG and I love!AM:Cetaphil gentle cleanserCOSRX snail mucinElta MD UV clear spf 46PM:Cetaphil gentle cleanserThayers witch hazel (rose petal)COSRX snail mucinCetaphil daily advance lotionTazorac 1% cream ( my ride or die)LESS is more. Slow and steady wins the race.I also would love recommendations for some great lighters/ brighteners you use for pih and uneven skin tone!
