HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN POST ACNE

I broke my skin barrier by over exfoliating because I was getting rid of hyperpigmentation. I was using chemical exfoliating ingredients on my forehead every day until I saw three volcanoes erupting from the surface of my forehead.

As a beauty content creator, I panicked but I have to keep it cool and always remind myself that all I need to do is take care of my skin barrier and be patient.

So here are the products I use post acne:

Anua Heartleaf Soothing Toner - this toner is so good at soothing and hydrating my skin. Pro tip: apply it up to 7 times letting it dry in between applications. This trick is called 7 skin layers popularized in Korea to get that hydrated and dewy skin.

Murad Environment Shield Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum - this is more like a Vitamin C which I make sure always use during my morning skincare routine. Aside from being an antioxidant, this also helps in fading my dark spots.

Cerave Daily Moisturizing Lotion - ahh.. Nothing beats a good ceramide back into my skin for a healthy skin barrier. I just love having this on hand for situations like this.

Summer Fridays ShadeDrops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 - I like to use a physical/mineral sunscreen when my skin is sensitized. This sunscreen aside from being a physical sunscreen does not leave white cast on me and also keep my skin hydrated.

Let me know your holy grails!
