I added these two to my routine two days ago! I’m super excited to see if they can help address the red spots (post-inflammatory erythema) and dark brown spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) left over when pimples disappear.
Do you have experience with azalaic acid or vitamin C serums? Share your success stories pls!
This is what’s left of my eyebrow tattoo after 1 year and 4 months. It doesn’t really look like anything but a really faint shadow. It was really beautiful and defined maybe for half a year before starting to fade.
Does anyone have experience with tattooed brows? How did yours age? Would you do it again?
I’ve been struggling with mental health issues that made me let go of good hygiene habits for months. In that time I only used bar soap for my skin, which really messed up my barrier and aggravated my acne. About 11 days ago, I started a new routine to predominantly address my breakouts. All the hydrating stuff were just supporting characters to my main objective: get clear skin.
In the process of this, I realized how much restoring my skin barrier can do. Even with residual breakouts, my skin felt and looked healthier.
It’s not in a perfect state now. I’m still learning about how to juggle actives and barrier-restoring products. I also am struggling to understand and address my underlying redness. But these past few days made me hopeful for the improvement that is to come.
