Nightly Skincare (Acne Flare Up)
I had never struggled with acne until my 29th year of life and that was when I deep dived into what would help combat this the quickest. I have combo skin and was traveling (airplanes) weekly! so I had to find a routine that worked in a pinch.
I use this every night, I used to use the Obagi toner but this honestly works the same for me and is a fourth of the price!

I use this a few time a week when my acne is flaring up, not forever and always. It works after like 2 uses! best acne control and even prevention wash Ive used (Ive used biore, neutrogrena, cerave)

I swear by this. It truly works! The second I feel a bump, I zap myself at night and the next day its either gone or the pus is ready to be gone!

Cetaphil Daily Foaming Face Wash 20 oz
This is the best sunscreen with 50spf that does not leave whitecast! I have gotten these for my mom and mother-in-law for the last 2 years!
I promise the benefits are real. I first tried this when I was in college, 2014, because one of my roommates swore by it. But back then, this brand did not exist so it was just nasty. Now, its bearable because of the mint flavor.
