3-Month Skincare Progress Report.... I'm Acne-Free!

Hi!! Please accept my apologies for the lack of posts. I am in the middle of studying for the California July Bar, and have been hitting the books hard. However, I did want to take some time to talk about my skincare progress since my last post.


My topical skincare regimen has not changed. I apply Onexton religiously EVERY morning to my t-zone. Additionally, I apply Ziana every other night to my entire face. I also make sure to apply my Elta MD Clear UV SPF 46 every morning.

The oral antibiotics did not work out for me. I guess my body is quite sensitive to antibiotics because my stomach did not take well to any of the three different ones my dermatologist attempted to put me on. Despite my body not agreeing with antibiotics, I am super pleased to announce that I have been acne-free for the past three months. Even during my monthly visit, I have not had any hormonal breakouts. This is the first time in my life where I have not broken out. It feels so amazing. I still have to deal with the texture and scarring from my previous years of breakouts, but it really is life-changing to not have to deal with any active breakouts.

I highly recommend Onexton and Ziana for those with cystic and hormonal acne!!! Wishing you all the best in skin and love... <3

    I have used this process and my skin is completely free from acne. My skin looks oil free and fresh. Don’t go for the expensive laser treatment and post laser therapy, and follow these methods.

    Keep utilizing it will simply ease sensitivities and bothersome skin. In the long run, rather than treating the maturing skin issues, it aggravates skin further and harms are more than advantages. After the exhaustive examination and cautious investigations, the vast majority of the hypersensitivities and dangerous skin are fundamentally brought about by the petrochemicals fixings in the skincare items. brows

Manomai: Skin Care Based on Your Blood Type

Image
Did you know it only takes 26 seconds for your blood stream to absorb what you apply topically?  That is why it is important to think about what ingredients are in your skin care and other beauty products you apply topically.  I came across Manomai  when I first started beauty blogging, and truly became fascinated with their approach to skin care. I reached out to them, and they kindly agreed to send me a press sample to review for you guys.  Manomai's founder is a believer in Dr. Peter D'Adamo 's Blood-type Diet, which basically c onsists of eating the right foods for your blood type, in turn making you healthier and lose weight. She wanted a moisturizer that aligned with her beliefs in the Blood Type Diet, but also met her strict guidelines:  pareben-free,   mineral oil-free,  fragrance free,  cruelty-free, and  artificial color free. So, she developed 4 moisturizers with 4 special blends to uniquely match each of the  blood types  -- the Around-the-Clock

Differin Gel: What I Wish My Dermatologist Would Have Told Me...

Image
When my dermatologist prescribed Differin gel aka Adapalene, I thought, “Awesome! I’ll just put this on my face, and ‘Voila’  -- I would be acne free.” I was incredibly wrong! After two nights of applying Adapalene on my face, I began to break-out with cystic acne, my skin became super sensitive,  burned when I splashed my face with water, and the skin on my face began to peel. After experiencing these negative side effects, I did some research on the manufacturer’s website, WebMD, Google, Instagram, Youtube, etc. So, I want to share with you what I learned… How does Differin Gel/Adapalene work? Differin gel/adapalene is a type of synthetic retinoid. It is one of the mildest forms available. Retinoids help your skin slough off (or  desquamate ) dead skin cells at a more normal rate. Sloughing aka exfoliating your dead skin cells is beneficial in that the dead skin cells don't bind together and clog your pores. When your pores aka oil ducts are clogged, you get acne!

My Current Skincare Routine

Image
My skin has been terrible, and when I get breakouts, they are scarring, painful cystic acne blowouts that I would get on my chin and on the sides of my nose. They generally occur with my monthly period, or just after. I am not one to pick them because when I did the scarring would be even worse. I was courageous enough to let my cystic acne take its course, but it made me never want to leave the house. If you have read my Adapalene post from a year ago, you will know that my first dermatologist prescribed me that one cream, gave me zero directions, and sent me on my way. Not surprising my face never cleared up. Instead, I still had acne, my skin got flaky, peely, dry, irritated, and just plain terrible. I really resent my first dermatologist for doing that to me. So, I stopped using Adapalene, and began trying a bunch of over-the-counter acne treatments, from Paula's Choice to natural, organic brands with salicylic acid and tea tree oils, and the whole gamb
