things that MADE my skin WORSE

things that MADE my skin WORSE and ruined my skin healing journey in the first place. Starting with the most, I think the most detrimental one was the cycle of picking at my skin and then going out in the sun. Anytime you have a blemish, a dark spot, a scar, hyperpigmentation, and you go out in the sun and you don't cover it, you don't put SPF on it, you're like engraving it into your face forever. That's dramatic, but like, the sun makes it so much worse and it's going to be so much harder to get it to go away. Number two, like not understanding exactly how to take care of active acne because you're either the person that's too scared to put anything on top of active acne or the person that's putting way too much on top of active acne. And like, oh, it stings, it's working. I have to find that healthy balance. Okay, I need to take care of this acne without overbearing it. So like using gentle exfoliation or just gentle products. Number three is trying trending products whether they align with my skin or not. I wanted to love snail mucin so bad, but like, that clogged my pores like nothing else I've ever seen. And snail mucin was trending around the time that my skin had its big downfall. Comment any questions, bye.
