I am someone who has never had acne. Like I've gotten pimples and zits and blackheads, but I've never really been someone to have like a full-on breakout. That was until 2019 and I woke up in horror with my forehead completely red and inflamed and covered in tiny, tiny little bumps and I had no idea what the hell was going on. I tried everything and anything and nothing worked until I found out what kind of acne I was having. Because if you didn't know there are different types of acne, bacterial and fungal. Let me start by saying I'm not a doctor, nurse, or demonologist. I'm here to share my experiences with fungal acne and what has worked for me. That being said I hope this helps.

As a girl who has sensitive and Rosacea on my skin, i’ve been looking for products that don’t burn/make my skin itchy. These have been amazing and have helped me during flare outs!

Sure! My favorite makeup gives a very natural and bright impression. When I applied it, my skin looked smooth and radiant, without looking heavy. The soft colors I chose created a fresh look and highlighted my facial features beautifully. I love how each product complements each other, creates a harmonious overall impression and exudes confidence. This makeup makes me feel ready to face the day with gusto!

I'm a huge skin care person. Never ever I skipped a day or even a morning or night without it. What got me into skin care is in high school my skin was super dull, black spots are everywhere, and always dry. Back in the days, chatgpt wasn't a thing. I googled really hard to find out what's good for my skin. My first brand that I really wanted to try was Laneige. I did not have money to buy it back then. I had to use my pocket money, sometimes skipping lunch, to save up for this “waterbank serum" that I had kept an eye on for almost a year. Money saved up, I went to the store to get my very first skin care. Not even a week of using it, that serum changed my skin to a whole lot better, not to mention, it got me really into skincare til now 15 years later. I realized that skin care is really important, from toner, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen, and sometimes face and lip masks. I always have it restock since then. I really want to share some of my favorites with everyone here and I really hope these skin care will work for you guys as well. I would be very happy if you guys also like them too! If you have any questions or need specific recommendations, I will be gladly to help, either here or on IG, or if you just wanna say hi, feel free. If you read til this part, know that i thank you so much and appreciate you. Cheers!
