My skin care: what worked for me

🌸So as someone who used to struggle with break outs, scars, and hyperpigmentation(since I was 13) I went through a series of products (Proactive, curology, St.Ives, etc.) when none of those worked for me, I saw the snail mucin serum go viral and said “Fxck it, what’s one more product to check off? “

🌸I got my hands on it and was amazed at the results and thats where it started- From there I found the following products and haven’t looked back.

I wish I had of found these sooner instead of running through products and *essentially* useless advice from to many people. My skin is now glowing, clear, and I don’t have to worry about clusters of break outs any more! (No seriously now when my cycle comes I get 3 pimples at most)

I mean years of dark marks and scars GONE ( I saw results with the mucin in about 3 weeks, the rest took care of my skin in a year) I get compliments from folks about my skin (which 13 yo me could never fathom 😂) So I hope this helps you too❤️ I’ve been using these for 3 years now.

🌸MIND YOU: What worked for me won’t work for every single person, this is just what I found works for me- my skin was a combo of dry and oily and prone to break outs.

All of these can be bought from ULTA-

🌙I use the toner and serum at night and wash off the next day🧖🏽‍♀️

🌙This routine makes my skin feel so good after I take off a full beat 😩💄

🌙Do not over use the toner, it can dry your skin out! Put a few drops on a cotton ball and swipe over the skin

... Read moreWhen it comes to skincare, choosing the right products can be a game changer, especially for those dealing with breakouts, scars, and hyperpigmentation. The use of snail mucin has gained popularity due to its ability to hydrate, brighten, and heal the skin. This potent ingredient, often found in serums, works effectively to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of dark marks. Products like The Ordinary's Glucoside Foaming Cleanser and Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner are also vital in a successful skincare regimen. These products help clear pores, gently exfoliate dead skin cells, and maintain healthy hydration levels. Users have reported significant improvements after consistent use over several weeks, noting how their skin feels smoother and looks more radiant. It’s important to remember that everyone’s skin is unique, and products that work wonders for one person might not yield the same results for another. Therefore, always conduct a patch test before introducing new products into your routine, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin. For those with oily or combination skin, layering products like serums and lightweight moisturizers can help in finding balance, ensuring that no area of the skin becomes overly dry or oily. Ultimately, understanding your skin's needs and adjusting your routine accordingly can lead to a healthier complexion.
