I have acne. My skin has been like this for almost three years. I’ve honestly tried so many treatments but none have worked for me. Having acne is not fun. I wish I had clear skin, but I don’t. Having acne is my biggest insecurity. My self esteem has suffered tremendously because of my skin. I don’t wear makeup because I’m afraid my skin will break out. Whenever I go out I’m worried that people are staring at me. I know that feeling pretty can be difficult, but in the end you have to realize that you are more than just your insecurities. You are so much more.

Skin Care Don’ts 🙅
- Please don’t put lemon (or any citrus fruit) juice on your face! 🍋Lemon juice increases photosensitivity and can lead to chemical burns. There are safer alternatives, such as regulated AHAs for exfoliation or vitamin c serums for brightening.
- BAKING SODA IS BAD FOR THE SKIN. I’m sorry, but it’s a fact. Your skin is acidic at a pH level of about 4.5. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is very alkaline at a pH of 9. Throwing off your skin pH like that is not good for you. Toothpaste has the same problem; plus toothpaste has a bunch of skin irritants in it’s formula.
- Don’t use nose pore strips. They’re a huge gimmick. Those black dots on your nose are sebaceous filaments, not blackheads. Look it up. They’re natural and can be minimized through proper cleansing and BHAs. Pore strips can make your pores LARGER and also cause broken capillaries. I’d personally like to tell Biore to fuck off with their shame-based marketing.
- Avoid hot showers/baths. 🛀 I know, it feels great! Unfortunately, the hot water strips your skin of its natural oils, leaving your skin dry and unhealthy. Also, if you feel lightheaded after a hot shower/bath, that means you’re dropping your blood pressure with the heat. Again, not good for you.
- If a product burns your skin, DON’T USE IT. The burning does not mean it’s “working”. You can have a tingling effect from exfoliating products, but they should never burn.
- Don’t over-exfoliate. I want to cry when people say they use scrubs every day! You should exfoliate physically 1-3x a week, depending on your skin. You can chemically exfoliate more frequently, but you still need to be careful. Raw, red, and flaky skin is not cute. 😡
- Don’t use a bunch of new products at once. Patch test; it’s always worth it. It sucks when you wake up in the morning with a bunch of zits and irritation and you don’t know which one of the 5 new products you tried was the culprit.
- STOP TANNING! ☀️️ Sun exposure is THE worst thing for your skin. Sun exposure accelerates aging and puts you at risk for skin cancer. Avoid excessive sunlight and wear sunscreen every day.
- Be wary of essential oils. Sensitive skin can be easily irritated by these seemingly natural ingredients. Natural is not always full-proof.
- Don’t be aggressive towards your acne! BHAs and tea tree oil are great PREVENTATIVE ingredients. Once you have active acne, time (and AHAs) are the only thing that will make it go away. You can’t scrub it off, sorry.
- Don’t pay a premium on anti-aging skin care.💰 Anti-aging is all in prevention. Stay hydrated, limit stress, don’t drink (to excess) or smoke, and use sunscreen. No cream will undo years of damage, even if it costs hundreds of dollars.

Acne Tips 😊🍋
- Take a break from makeup, even if it’s just cutting down on products, your skin needs to breathe.(or you could have makeup free weekends/ take everything off once you get home)
- The sun is great for your skin so soak up as much as you can (of course while wearing sun cream)
- Try using less harsh products and use gentler products such as tea tree face wash or witch hazel face wash (extra chemicals can be harmful)
- Ask a pharmacist what products are best for your skin.
- Go to your GP and try medication if nothing has worked ( don’t give up on trying because some medication didn't work, it takes time to find what works for you)
- Ask to be referred to a dermatologist.
- Try cutting out parts of your diet such as meat or dairy as some foods can irritate your acne.
- Work on accepting your acne while you go through this process, follow Instagram pages such as @unesjomajo and @doddleoddle who have personally helped me realise that we can be beautiful with acne.
Remember that this process takes time, but you aren’t any less worthy because of how your skin looks. We are all beautiful no matter what shade or texture our skin is, and we must love ourselves before we let others bring us down.

QUEEN HELENE MINT JULEP MASK
This is by far one of my favorite drugstore products. Ive been using this since my High School days. It’s honestly is a life savior; this product not only treats acne really well. It also serves as a detox as well. You can honestly feel this product work. Sometimes I put this as a spot treatment when I get an occasional breakout. It dries it up pretty quickly or it heals it; depending on the stage of the pimple. This is so affordable and you can find it almost anywhere considering is a drugstore product. There are several imitations of this product but theres nothing like the original. I recommend this for people with low to mild acne; if you have more aggravated skin I suggest looking and going to a dermatologist. But this product overall has helped me when I was In High School and I for the most part continue to use it.
