Never in a million years did I think I would post something like this, but I hope sharing my experience will help someone else who may be battling the same war with their skin that I've been battling for 5+ years. My skin has always been my biggest insecurity. I would break out all over my face, my skin would bleed, and I'd have to wear tons of makeup to even have enough confidence to go through a Dunkin Donuts drive-thru. The picture above doesn't even capture how bad my skin really got - I couldn't even look at myself when my skin was at its worst. I have spent literally thousands of dollars on quick-fix acne treatments, including big brands like Proactiv, and including medication. Nothing ever worked, and honestly, most products I tried just made my skin worse. But... NATURAL SKINCARE HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!!!! I made the switch to natural products last year and my skin has sincerely thanked me. My acne has diminished, my scars have faded, and my skin is supple and soft. Makeup now feels like an enhancement instead of a necessity... some days I don't even wear makeup. Coconut oil has replaced my makeup remover wipes. I only use organic face wash (shout out to Pacifica, whose products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free). I make face masks with essential oils, activated charcoal, turmeric, and honey. I moisturize with rose hip oil. My skin has neverrrRrrRrrrRrr been clearer and I'm so happy with the results. To those of you struggling with your skin: be patient (it took between 3 and 6 months to see substantial results). Be good to your skin. Wash and moisturize daily. Stay away from harsh chemicals. Give your skin time to breathe. Give your skin time to heal. And if anybody would like any face wash/mask recommendations, feel free to PM me. :)
