Beauty Tips For Body Care
Ever since coming off hormonal birth control ~4 years ago, my skin has suffered from regular cystic acne flare ups across my jawline/neck. Be it related to hormones, stress, dairy, sugar/carbs, insect bites (eww) or yeast — just about anything was giving me multiple hard nodules of pussy, red, PIH aftermath acne that lasted WEEKS and would often flare right back up in the same spots.I tried so many things: betonite clay masks or various acid peels (AHA/BHA) helped a bit, but my skin was often dry and irritated from the vinegar or active acids. Various moisturizing products helped but often broke me out worse (snail cream, y u betray me?!) and I was basically at a stand still.But on a whim, one day I tried moisturizing more... slugging it up, super thick... with the Trader Joe’s aloe vera gel mixed with 4-5 drops of rose hip seed oil.Oh my god guys.Oh. My. God.Cystic acne? Almost entirely gone and flare ups are way less common/severe. Red marks and scarring? Rapidly fading. Closed comedones? Barely seeing them now.Oh yeah, and my eyebrows and eyelashes are growing.PRAISE BE TO THE SKINCARE GODS FOR I HAVE FOUND MY HOLY GRAIL!So to anyone who bothered reading this: if you have super sensitive, “f*** your plans have some cystic acne instead” and reactive skin like me.... maybe you just need an ultra bland, healing moisturizer!Yay!
