How I cleared up my skin (acne and dark spots)
HI! I never thought this day would come but here I am posting how my face used to look and I always caked on makeup to cover it up but it's been about 4 years since then. I never really took pictures because of how ashamed I was, I still breakout time to time but just a pimple or two not like before.
First things to do are to take care of your health because to heal acne, what we put inside our body is usually the culprit.
1. I don't eat meat/chicken but seafood from time to time I do.
2. I drink water now I rarely drank water!!!!!!!! I still don't drink plain water I always put lemons or cucumbers in it.
3. I avoid dairy when I can because I will definitely breakout.
4. Also no super greasy foods/food with too much sugar only on rare occasions.
5. Probiotics helped me for sure!
6. Don't use ANY facial brush no matter how gentle on active acne as it will just aggravate and even spread the germs to the rest of your face!
7. Don't over-exfoliate
8. Don't use creams that are too heavy they will clog your pores even if they say non-comedogenic
9. Use a thin consistency sunscreen to avoid clogging pores! And sunscreen helps to keep acne-prone skin from getting even worse with the sun's harsh rays
**IMPORTANT AS WELL** if you're very oily, don't dry out your face, it means it's dehydrated, drink tons of water and don't use mattifying things because your skin will just think it's dry and create more oil to hydrate it hence the super oiliness
Products:
PM:
Belif aqua bomb jelly cleanser/nature republic cleanser (I don't use oil-based cleansers as they congest my skin)
Makeup eraser - the small one
Kojie San Kojic Soap (orange in color, there's another one but the orange one is what worked for me)- can be found at Asian/Filipino stores/Amazon
Duvolle spin brush (was given, not a commission link just a discount code if you're interested!) -70% OFF PROMO CODE: YOUTH70

Duvolle® Radiance Spin-Care System: http://duvolle.com/
Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid/Cosrx AHA BHA Toner (I've tried the lactic acid from the ordinary it didn't work for me)
Bioeffect EGF Serum
Cosrx PHA Moisture Renewal Power Cream/Cerave PM Moisturizer
AM:
Either of the cleansers, not the kojie san because your skin will be too sensitive to the sun!
Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid/Cosrx AHA BHA Toner
Derma E Vitamin C Night Cream - it's not a thick cream if you have dry skin this wouldn't be enough! Supergoop Sunscreen/Nature Republic - both are great as long as it's the thin kind, thicker sunscreens break me out!
