a moisturizer but I use it as a sleeping mask <3 I only use this on my pore care days, after the clay mask !! both of them are so good together, the only products that really minimize my large pores <3

lifestyle routine
“healthy lifestyle means healthy skin” trust me, I learn this the hard way :( it's just not skincare you need to focus on, but you also need to practice healthy habits to have a healthy skin <3 and here's what I did to helped clear my acne:
THE MAGIC CURE ✨ still can't believe how quickly i've seen results !! in just 4 DAYS, I noticed that my cystic acne was no longer painful or inflamed yet the acne is still present but I can feel that it’s healing. and in just 2 WEEKS, my cystic acne ...<3
garlic + honey (every morning on an empty stomach)
not a magic cure like garlic and honey, but it truly works !! the more I drink this, the more my skin glows and my complexion brightens making my skin look more healthy and radiant <3 it’s also great for detoxification and gut health !! remember, a healthy gut leads to healthy skin ♥️ watch this video for the recipe !!
ABC juice (drink after taking garlic & honey combo)
this is the first viral clear skin juice i have tried and yes, it works well at reducing inflammation and acne but it takes time and consistency <3 i alternate this with ABC juice, for example this month is for turmeric shots and next month is for ABC juice <3 watch this video for the recipe !!
turmeric & ginger shots (every morning on an empty stomach)
coffee can stimulate stress hormones (like cortisol), which may worsen acne in some people !! and matcha is a good alternative since it's high in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and gentler on your hormones <3
matcha instead of coffee
