thought vomit @ 1:25am
So it’ll be the end of my 2 weeks using Differin Gel (over the counter retinoid) on May 25th. My skin texture is SMOOTH and when I mean SMOOTH I mean smoother than baby skin. I still have a lot of hyperpigmentation left over so after my 3rd week is complete I’m going to add alpha arbutin ( from the ordinary) into my skin care routine. But the side effect that I am experiencing is DRY SKIN. ya girl has/had oily skin since she was out of her moms cesearian belly. So having dry skin is a new thing for me as I’m now looking for more hydrating primers and foundations because all I have is matte everything. I did experience purging in my first week and it was a blow to my confidence for sure. But skin is skin and we have what we were given and all that matters is how we treat ourselves because of it. :)
