I've never had perfect skin.
Don’t worry, this isn’t a pity party. But I’ve tried an endless list of skincare products in an attempt to calm my skin and give it the nourishment it needs. After destroying my skin barrier and forking out more money than I’d like to admit on skin treatments (which only worked as long as I kept going), I slowly built a routine that helped my skin rather that harmed it. While my acne reduced slightly, it never fully went away.
One of the skin treatments I tried was L...

But as life got busier, the reality of growing up se...
