My Holy Grail Skincare Routine (UnSponsored)

My skin type: Oily, Acne-Prone, mild rosacea, big pores/ very red/ very sensitive

After years of trial & error, I’ve found what works best for me. These products have been magical for my skin!

When looking for advice & a new skincare routine, you have to be super careful where you get the recommendations. Many influencers are promoting products that pay them to promote- even if they don’t actually use them! This is especially common if they are posting for them. (A lot of influencers with large followings post NOTHING for free).

This post is entirely genuine & real products I purchased & paid for.

Here it goes:

Step 2: Paulas Choice–SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant My miracle in a bottle for rosacea, acne (hormonal, cystic, blackheads) and redness! Made my skin glow overnight.
