[PSA] Vaping and breakouts - I want to bring this up!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey everyone,I really want to bring this up in the hopes to maybe help someone out who was going through this.Long story short - I got sober about 1.5 years ago and was smoking cigarettes. My skin looked amazing. I’m 28 years old and never really had skin problems. About 8 months ago I switched over to a juul. I didn’t realize it at the time but my skin started to deteriorate. Slowly, but it was getting worse and worse.Over the past 6 months I’ve seen my skin go from perfect to having cysts come up on my face. Over the last 3 months I’ve been really trying to figure out what is going on with my skin. Trying out new products etc. But my skin was just literally getting worse no matter what I did. On top of that it was always extremely dry and sensitive.So 1 month ago I straight up has a panic attach looking at my face. I’m just confused and I have NO IDEA what is going on. I’m 28 years old...why am I having cystic breakouts and my skin is not healing properly.At first, when I thought vaping could be a culprit my skin wasn’t so bad at the time and I thought to myself, why would vaping effect my skin it’s better than smoking? Right? Wrong.After I had the freak out I decided to look back at when the breakouts started and try to pinpoint wtf is going on. So I thought vaping could be the culprit. I googled vaping and cystic acne, and low and behold there are tons of stories of switching to a vape and cystic acne occurring.,..This was more than enough of a motivation to just throw away the vape. So I did. I threw it away and I haven’t looked back. Within days I noticed my skin getting its normal color and texture back, acne was healing up fast.I’m back on a very simple routine to help heal my face after these past couple months. I’ll maybe add an AHA in after a month or two more but I just want my face to heal right now.I don’t know what in vaping lead this to happen. Some say it’s a high PG content or whatever, I don’t really care and whatever the hell it was it was ruining my face. Literally... also, it wasn’t a reaction where I woke up after my first day with the vape and it was horrible, it crept on extremely slowly from little breakouts to cystic acne within 4-6 months. Sure quitting wasn’t easy, but I’m an ex addict so I’m kinda used to withdrawing and also all I had to do was look at my face and that was more than enough of motivation.I’m hoping this helps someone who is possibly going through the same thing. I thought it would be my duty to explain this with the hopes it could help someone.....
