How I Got Rid Of My Acne: 6 Months Progress ✨

I was scrolling through my photos gallery and I realized how much my skin has changed over the past few months 🥹✨

⚠️ Let’s clear things up: I still have pimples every now and then, especially during PMS. But, compared to the past, my skin has significantly improved.

☁️ Acne Meds

A huge contributor to my skin’s progress is acne meds.

Since we are entering June, it is officially the 6 month mark of my prescription meds journey. Honestly at the start, I was pretty hesitant on starting this, but going on acne meds has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in 2023. You can read the full details of my clinic, what I took and how fast it helped here . But be warned: my doc has some controversial opinions about moisturisers and sunscreen.

Overall, the medication has significantly reduced my breakouts 💯 The past month, I have decreased some intake so that I don’t become overly dependent on it (my other reasons include laziness and forgetfulness 🤡). BUT, despite reducing my intake, my breakouts are minimal.

☁️ Cleaning my environment

When my skin was at my worst, I was staying at another place for 6 months. The room I was in was VERY dusty (to the point that I had migraines everyday) and due to some circumstances, I couldn't change the bedsheets.

So, this is your reminder to change your bedsheets and clean your room.

☁️ Stop touching your face lol

This was something my boyfriend had to keep reminding me. Like me, he struggled with acne in the past and he also took acne meds. But, his biggest tip is to stop touching your face 👈

☁️ Avoid inflammatory foods

This might not be applicable for you, but I know my skin can get triggered from inflammatory foods like dairy and candies 🍬

So I started to reduce my consumption of them (not saying that I stopped them completely, but it’s definitely a lot less than before).
