Hey friends! Just wanted to open up a little about my skin journey and share the skincare routine that finally helped me.

Back in high school, I honestly didn't pay much attention to skincare. One day, I woke up with a huge breakout on my forehead, and it quickly spread across my entire face.

Eventually, I found a routine that worked for me—and stuck with it consistently. Here's what helped me the most!

1. Cetaphil Face Wash

This gentle cleanser worked really well for my sensitive skin. It's often recommended by professionals for a reason—it cleans without stripping the skin.

2. Garnier Micellar Water

I used this both as a makeup remover and toner. It made such a difference in calming my skin and keeping it fresh.

3. Cetaphil Pro Sunscreen/Moisturizer

This two-in-one product was convenient and helped with hydration. Since I have very oily skin, I'm still experimenting to find the perfect moisturizer—but this one didn't cause breakouts.

4. Baby Johnson's Powder

After applying my skincare, I use this to manage my super oily skin. It helps control oil overnight and prevents clogged pores in the morning.

5. Oxy 10 Pimple Cream

A real game-changer! It contains 10% benzoyl peroxide, which helped dry out my pimples quickly. But it can be drying—so moisturizer is a must. If 10% is too strong, they also have a 5% version.

If you're struggling with acne, please remember this—your skin does not define your beauty. Looking back at those old photos, I realize now how beautiful I already was. Confidence makes a world of difference. So be gentle with yourself, and don't lose hope—clearer skin comes with patience and love!
