I Did Full-Glam For The First Time in Months - This is What I used on my Cystic Acne-Prone Skin:
It’s no secret that I have extremely sensitive, acne-prone skin. I’d typically do a full face 4-5 days a week leading up until September (when I used an at home one-time-size dermaplaner and i’m pretty sure gave myself a bacterial infection on my face).
It was that moment where I stopped using all of my heavy foundations, bronzers, and creams - and stuck to simple ingredients and a faux-foundation (that’s actually good for your skin) when needed.
I took pride in this (and my pledge to not use filters online), but lately i’ve been in a funk. I’ve gotten into the comparison trap and feel like something is off. Something is missing for me right now. So what better way to figure out exactly what that is by channeling my highest version of myself with a makeup overhaul at Target?
