  • ✨ π’”π’Œπ’Šπ’ π’„π’‰π’†π’„π’Œ ✨ it's been about 5 months since i posted about my acne so i thought i was long overdue a check in with how my skin's currently doing. prior to november i was working an office job and didn't have to wear a face mask for the majority of my day. now i can be wearing them for up to 15 hours a day. everybody knows masks can cause a whole variety of skin problems, acne being very high on that list. i'm currently on day 9 of 10 days annual leave so my skin is not currently as irritated as it has been. but looking back at the photos i took in august my skin has come a long way since then. slowly but surely. i was recommended @dermatica.skin by @carolinehirons last year since i wasn't getting anywhere with seeing a dermatologist because of covid. i've been using it since june and can really see the difference it is starting to make. they tailor the formula to you and your skin care needs. i'm currently on a mix of adapalene, benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin. it took me a long time to notice the results and even now it's always jarring when i haven't seen a friend in a while and the first thing they comment on is how much better my skin looks. it's been something that has killed my confidence for years so for myself and others to see an improvement in it - that honestly is something i'd only ever dreamt of. long may it continue. 🀞🏼
