Real Skin Story 💬 | Finding What Works

Acne flare-ups aren’t ugly — they’re real, and this is mine. 💬

When my skin was at its most inflamed, I made a choice: instead of hiding, I still went out. Grocery runs, a baby shower, drive-thrus — I refused to let self-consciousness keep me home. I showed up with courage and confidence, even when my skin felt like it was working against me.

💚 What truly helped me heal? DOUBLE CLEANSING!! 👀

I started using the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil followed by the Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser, along with soothing + barrier-repair products. Together, they calmed the redness, balanced my skin, and reminded me that skincare isn’t just about appearance — it’s about care.

Healing isn’t a perfect before-and-after. It’s patience, progress, and learning what works for you. ✨

If you’re in the middle of your skin journey, know this: you’re not alone, and your skin doesn’t define your worth. 🤍

I can honestly admit that finding a good skincare routine is trial and error. What works for my skin may not work for yours… and that’s okay. What I can tell you is, that you have to remain consistent. Sometimes we don’t see the benefits from skincare for up to 12 weeks. I’ve been using this co

Self Tan Secrets - for sensitive skin! ☀️✨

My skin type / genetics doesn’t love the sun so I have always been one to self-tan! When I’m out in the sun for too long I burn, get as red as a tomato for a couple days and eventually blister and peel if it’s bad enough, even if I wear SPF. So self tanner has always been a good alternative for me
