My Current Skincare Routine
In the pursuit of radiant, healthy skin, our journey often starts with a quest to find the perfect products. But behind every skincare routine lies a unique story, and mine is no exception. Picture a teenage me, grappling with the daunting challenge of cystic acne that seemed to defy every remedy. It was a battle that greatly tested not only my patience but also my self-esteem.
