Back in 2017/2018 I was going through a pretty rough time in my life. First, I was a single mom, my relationship was probably at one of the worst places it had ever been at that point, I was homeless (on my sisters couch) and eventually my car! I didn’t have a full time job (just yet, but eventually I was blessed with one), so clearly calling it rough might be taking it a little easy on myself. I started to struggle with acne fareal fareal, end of 8th grade. Yes, I entered high school with acne.
Every teenagers worst nightmare. It started off as those closed off small bumps on my forehead, then it moved to my cheeks and little do I know, that’s when things were about to get real. Post high-school I started to take some steps to clear my skin. Some things worked, a’lot of things didn’t (YES, African black soap please come to the front 😩), but for the most part it did clear up, untilllllll we hit 2017/2018 and this shit show called my life had my skin looking as if I didn’t love myself.
Looking back at these pictures were very hard, but I’m happy that I’ve reached the other side and have now seen the light 💡Sticking to a strict regimen and remaining consistent is what has helped me see the side on the right and I believe if you also stay consistent you can achieve the skin you want to achieve. Don’t beat yourself up there is hope on the other side. These are the products that I SWEAR BY and what has worked wonders for ME.
PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10% – $9.77
This was the most important item in clearing my skin. It’s sooooo GOOD! They also have
a lower percentage for people with sensitive skin, that prefers to implement it low and slow.
CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser – $18.38
I used this on the days I didn’t use the benzoyl peroxide wash. This is perfect if you don’t want a wash that
Also serves as a treatment. It works best for people who have normal to dry skin.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream | Body and Face Moisturizer – $17.78
This is my evening moisturizer. It’s perfect because it’s thicker and makes me feel like I can lather it on and
overnight it can do all the work it’s supposed to do. I also have a daytime moisturizer I use as well as other products that I speak on in my Youtube video linked below.

Thank you so much beautiful. I feel as though we have to make having flaws a normal thing again. In this era of social media everyone wants to be seen as perfect , not knowing the same people they’re comparing themselves to don’t even look like that 24/7 if at all. Thank you for the comment 💕
