Current Skin Care Routine + Acne Update
I’ve been counting my lucky stars lately, because my skin has been relatively tame and blemish-free. Although, I know it has nothing to do with luck, but rather the products I’ve been using. I’ve been pretty consistent with most of my routine, along with keeping up with my Curology prescription. I thought it was finally time to show you how far my skin has come since my last update, and since the beginning.
Watch the video below to see my before and afters… they’re pretty impressive.

I honestly feel so much more confident since my skin has cleared up. I don’t feel hesitant to leave the house without an ounce of makeup on, and I don’t need as much when I do wear makeup. The blemishes that pop up occasionally can most likely be attributed to hormones (especially right before I get my period), as well as my food choices. I can seriously tell when I’ve been eating too many sugary or fatty foods, because my chin will let me know!
I just got the new Neutrogena night time moisturizer. I haven’t opened it yet (still a few drops left of my old night time moisturizer), but I’m excited to try it. I’ve heard nothing but great things about it. Good to hear you also like it as well! 🙂
I hope it works well for you! I think it’s perfect for spring– super moisturizing but not heavy AT ALL
Yay that’s great news! I’m very happy for you! Acne sucks! 🙂 But always remember you’re beautiful and no acne can away from that.
Thank you! Yes acne is a struggle but you’re right– it can’t take away from true beauty 😀
