This blog is basically a collection of all the products/food/techniques that I use or believe in order to combat my naturally troubled skin!
Acne: So BASICALLY this whole acne thing started when I in early high school and that was probably due to the fact that I was just a teeny bit anorexic. In any case that settled and I started to have acne prone skin when I moved to Canada to do my degree. Since then my skin has had its ups and downs and I have used a number of different antibiotics, topical medicines, lifestyle behaviors, you name it to combat my acne.
Scarring: If you've got relatively hardcore acne - you've got scarring. I haven't yet done laser, had a peel which was HELL (I'll post about it at some point) and I use some other techniques to lighten the scarring and smoothen out my skin.
Oily Skin: This has been my skin type since puberty, and while it didn't bother me pre acne issues because I would just go wash my face and still have flawless skin. Now with the scarring and occasional acne that I get I can't really do that because hell - I'd be washing off all my goddamn makeup. And lets face it oiliness has become less acceptable over the years. People are have become like anti-oily skin or something. Except for when it's dewy make-up. Dewy my ass. This is going to be a default make-up look for most oily skinned girls.
Beauty: I'm also somewhat into beauty and beauty products, and it's always a quest for me to find the right products and right shade since I'm biracial. I'm just into looking good in a way that's consistent and neutral. I have an unhealthy obsession with finding the right foundation shade.
Posting regularity: This is going to be patchy at best but I see this blog more as a civic duty than an everyday blog. Plus if I reviewed products I would have no money. And I already have like no money so...
