For the first time in my life, I have clear skin!

I know this sounds so frivolous and wrong in the middle of a pandemic, but I could have cried with happiness when I woke up this morning.

I've had bad skin since I was 14. Nothing ever worked and tbh, my lifestyle always got in the way.

I honestly feel like a new person.

What's your secret? The hormonal acne on my chin is atrocious! Well, not so much the spots but the scarring they leave.

Ooooooh well done! What's your routine :)

Don't feel frivolous, skin is so important

What did you do to achieve this thing I can only dream of ?!?!

Imagine me telling other people what works. Honestly. I spent so many years crying, buying hideous amounts of make up...

morning

  • cleanse every morning with Bioderma micellar water
  • moisturiser (my go to brands are Glossier, LRP and Elemis, depending on mood)
  • suncream
  • If I have been going to Aldi I put on just a little tinted moisturiser to even out the redness)

sometimes another dose of moisturiser throughout the day if I am feeling dry. Must get one of those little spray bottles from LRP.

evening

  • I always use hot water and a flannel to make sure skin is perfectly clear
  • Glossier Milky Jelly cleanser for anything left
  • another quick wipe with micellar water
  • moisturiser.

I have to say, I'm really forcing myself to do the 8 glasses of water a day also. I've been eating the same diet and my weakness is Diet Coke. That definitely has an impact on my skin.
