$150 SKINCARE ROUTINE?!?? Is it worth it? 🤔

Hey pookies🫶🏽 Let’s talk skincare🧖‍♀️🫧

Growing up, I had acne BAAADD. Like between puberty, a teenage diet, & not drinking enough water, my skin was going THROUGH IT! It has taking me sooo long to figure out what works best for me as a sensitive skin girlie with combination skin. Some areas of my face get drier than other, so I need hydration. Since my acne and hyperpigmentation were so bad in high school, I’ve been focusing on products that’ll brighten/even out my skin tone, & we CANT forget the sunscreen. (Yes, black people need sunscreen too) After yearssss of trial and error, this is a routine that I firmly believe works for me, so I’m sharing it with you.

Let’s talk 🎙️:

What are some of your fav skincare products? 🤔💭

... Read moreInvesting in a quality skincare routine can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options on the market. For those struggling with acne and hyperpigmentation, like many sensitive skin individuals, a curated regimen is key. The routine detailed includes high-rated products aimed at reducing signs of skin stress caused by external factors. For instance, incorporating gentle exfoliants like Anua HEARTLEAF QUERCETINOLTM can help clear pores without causing irritation. Sunscreen, particularly broad-spectrum options like the DAILY UV DEFENSE SUNSCREEN, is crucial in protecting skin from harmful UV rays while preventing further pigmentation issues. Other recommended products include the COSRX Snail Mucin Essence and CeraVe Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser, both well-known for their moisturizing properties. These products balance hydration while targeting specific skin concerns. Remember, results take time; consistency in using these products, combined with patience, is essential. A successful routine not only brightens your skin but can also boost your confidence! Always assess your skin's unique needs, and consult a dermatologist if unsure about product compatibility.

They aren’t black owned. Maybe you’re confusing them with Topicals? The packaging is very similar. Either way, the products work good and adorable too
