Here’s What Happened When I Changed My Skincare Routine

Acne has been an annoying part of my life since I was a teenager.  While my breakouts are A LOT more manageable now; I’m still very self-conscious about my skin after years of unevenness, acne scarring, cystic breakouts, etc.  These days, most of my breakouts are hormonal breakouts that pop up before my period, make me feel ugly for a week or two and then slowly heal afterwards.  Last month, I decided to change my skincare routine to see if using a few different products could help my skin.
