Things I wish I did sooner to help my skin and this is the skin in question. I definitely don't have perfect skin now, but it has come a long way. So firstly, I wish I stopped experimenting with skincare. I was using different products nearly every single day and my skin did NOT get better until I started being really consistent with my routine, which I know is really, really boring, but unfortunately it works. And secondly, I wish I just left my skin alone. Picking and popping did absolutely nothing for my skin. It literally just damaged my skin barrier. You know when you see super even skin tone? I can promise you they are NOT picking and popping at their skin. They're leaving their skin alone. Into skin picking patches like this, I absolutely love because they create like a protective barrier over your skin. So it makes it a lot harder to be picking and popping. These ones even have ceramides. Most blemish patches use only plain hydrocolloid, but CeraVe Blemish Barrier Patches are a notable exception formulated with three essential ceramides, which is really rare for patches. They are called the CeraVe Blemish Barrier patches and they reduce the appearance of blemishes within 3 hours. And thirdly, I wish I looked more into my stress levels. I was eating Whole Foods for my skin. I had the perfect skincare routine and my skin just was not budging. And it got significantly better when I started looking after my mind too. Things like reducing and trying to get more consistent sleep. Really hope that was helpful and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
