FADE DARK SPOTS FAST! 😲 Brown Spots, Discolouration And Hyperpigmentation ✖ James Welsh
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Today I want to talk about dark spots and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation….specifically this old thing on my cheek, and how I’ve managed to fade it quite significantly in the last couple of weeks!
If you follow me on instagram, you would’ve seen some of m y journey with this aggressive under the skin spot that….i picked. I aggravated the inflammation further and its left me with a nasty dark spot.
So before I get into what I’ve been doing, less talk a bit about post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, that I’m going to refer to as PIH from now on, occurs after injury and as the name suggests, after the skin has been inflamed,
This triggers melanin-producing cells (whose name I can’t pronounce, to release excessive pigment, leading to a darkening of the inflamed / injured skin and can remain on the skin from anything between 3 - 24 months, depending on factors like skin colour and the type of injury or inflammation.
The most common type of inflammation we see on our own skin is of course spots and acne. Especially when we pick at the spots, and aggravating the inflammation further!
These often leave dark flat spots on our skin that often appear dark brown or grey.
PIH isn’t dangerous in anyway and doesn’t need curing or fixing as it does eventually go away on its own, again in the space of 3-24 months. So you can just leave it alone and it will eventually go.
However, if like me, you’ve picked a nasty spot and you don’t quite think the massive dark spot on your cheeks suits you….or your career is based on that state of your skin, there are certain things you can do to speed up the process of removing the PIH.
You can of course go to a dermatologist and get a chemical peel, I had a mild one before this dark spot and found it to be very effective. And a course of laser treatments will help to speed up the process…HOWEVER….who has the money?! Not me.
So i hope this video can shed sopme light on how you can fade, get rid of and reduce the appearance of dark spots, acne scaring and pigmentation FAST!

Remember that skincare is extremely personal to everybody's skin. What works for me, may not work for you. But I hope my videos give you some good ideas for products, techniques and Ingredients to try.
Also, i'm obviously not a dermatologist or a doctor, so all opinions on products and anything else i'm presenting, is results and findings from my own experience and research.
And that's why i'm here, to share my research and my findings that go further than what is said on the bottle or google!
But, everything I present is always a discussion for you to join in with :)
If you have any serious skin concerns, please see a dermatologist / doctor.

Dark spots are THE WORST it takes 2 seconds to destroy ur skin but 2 months for it to heal and return to normal 😫😫😫😫😫
omg exactly!!!!
Ohh you are so right... hopefully it goes till Christmas... 😟
2 months? I wish
@@narutouchiha5464 Exactly.. its been 5 months and those things JUST started to fade.
Right ugh and I don't even touch or pick it
"If anyone says they're using lemon on their skin I will block you and delete you from the internet..."
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh James!
kelly1827 😂😂😂
I never used lemon because my skin is very sensitive and I suppose it must be quite aggressive
kelly1827 made me smile at the end of the video 😊
But I do drink lemon juice though 😂
I seriously LMAO 😂😂😂

What about darker more brown skin tones? I’ve read AHAs are not as safe and can make dark spots worse or potentially burn skin??
Damn!!😄
Dark spots is my last enemy to clear skin i passed the pimple stage the oily stage and now just this the dark spots is left because of you james i made very very good improvements on my skin thank you again
ahhhh thats so good to hear!!
How did you fix pimples? I really can't get rid of them. i am very sure it is because of the quantity of sugar i eat yet i have no control whatsoever :)
Same here, got my pimple situation under control, except the occasional one. But I have to get rid of my dark spots, especially on my cheecks cuz I was killing my skin with bad shaving practices.
@@Mi.123mi i challenge my self to not eat dairy, no other liquid intake just water, 1-2 gallons of water everyday, drink a lot of water before bed, eat vegetables (a lot) ,exercise (just to keep your blood flow going to i guess make your hormones in a good mood, sleep (8 hours), and use products for your skin type
@@Mi.123mi oh yeah i forgot don't put vitamin e cream if you have oily skin
My problem is when my acne scars start to fade, a new pimple will pop on the same spot! So that will become a new acne scar 😩 it never ends
Update: my skin is getting better, tho i still get hormonal breakouts 😒 1-2 angry pimple. Morning routine is wash with water only, no cleanser (but i make sure i wash all the nasties at night) Then apply hydrating toner, BHA and Klair's midnight Cream (holy grail!). at night i just add a cleanser in my routine, then same routine. When going out i just swap the BHA to an anti aging serum to make my skin plump. Hope this helps someone going through a bad breakout. We can do this! 👊
Same for me😧
😭😭
I don’t know for sure but I’m guessing that’s because there will still be bacteria under the skin, maybe use a BHA that penetrates the skin more?
me too😓
Yes.. basically what's happening to me. I didn't even pick my zit but it always leaves marks.
Acne Stages:
Stage 1 (Acne)
You passed..
Stage 2 (Acne Spreading)
You passed..
Stage 3 (Dark Spots) {BOSS LEVEL}
😂🤣🤣
Lol so true!!
I’m on da last stage
😊😊😊😊😊
I dont even have active pimples anymore, just dark spots and its ANNOYING AF. Might as well use my money for my own good lmao. Thanks James! Alsothatprofilepicturetho
Eugh it’s so annoying isn’t it?! All that hard work to get rid of spots and acne then your left with the scars! It will take time but they’ll go ☺️
James Welsh I can’t get rid of this fricking scar it’s so hard to get rid of It’s been a year since I got it and it is still visible.

I actually don't mind dark spots. I think it sorta suits me, but I know eventually it'll fade. As long as it's not excessive
Hey James + anyone reading - I'm a 20 year old guy who was always insecure about my skin, however since Feb 2019 my skin has improved so much.

@@JamesWelsh Thanks, to any other males on this channel (I presume not so many) don't feel awkward to implement a solid skincare routine into your daily routine. Self care is super important.
@@user-ld8dj7pp4c skincare routine please, what products do you use?
Dandi Satria Hey. I just updated my comment with the routine I currently use.
What LRP spf do you use?
I just want to go makeup free for 2020. That’s my skincare goal ♥️😊
Love that goal
Ahhh had the same for 2019 and then had THE WORST breakout in July 😭 still dealing with dark spots 😒
Amen😫
✌✌great minds think alike
I just want to be able to get away with that "no makeup" makeup look.
I love how you made it clear that dark spots aren’t harmful. You didn’t shame dark spots but gave logic like, “but if feel like it doesn’t suit you, here’s what you can do”. That’s powerful. The less we shame skin the more accepting we can be! Thank you! 😌
my dark spots usually lasts from 3 months to 24 years 🙃 melanin sucks 😭
London's Rock At least melanin slows down ageing and offers some protection from the sun.
😭😭😭
Girl 101 *excessive melanin sucks :( dark spots make u look older
beam me up beam me up unfortunately
You're bugging Melanin is everything too bad you're unhappy with your skin color.
"umm, I didn't pick it... at first" lol. Me every time I get a spot on my face.
SAME
I just want to say that I love the little icons in the upper left showing if you bought it or it was gifted. Thank you for the transparency!
Hey! Ahhh glad you noticed them!!! Did you know what they all meant or do you think I should put a little key in the description box? 🧐
@@JamesWelsh At first I thought the money meant the price or something but I think the next was the gift icon and I figured it out. A little key might help! Not a bad idea.
Pls put the key
bro his voice is the most calming thing ever
Best skincare guru I’ve come across on RUclips hands down.. his voice literally makes his videos 10x more better idk why 😅😭
A tip I have is after applying your sunscreen as normal, go back and put a dab extra on the dark spots. This helps cover it more and also ensures it does not get missed.
Ty
This human being’s skin is out of this world. I can literally see the light reflecting back from his forehead! I mean I can’t!
Ingredients to look for fading scars:
1. Niacinamide
2. AHA
3. PHA
4. Vitamin C
5. Alpha arbutin
Glycolic acid is one of the best along with niacinamide.
Yellow is so your colour😍 looking like a snack damn!!!!
Ohhh thank you!
@@JamesWelsh Where did you get that shirt? I have a friend that I really need to get it for.
As soon as I heard LOONA, I knew I could trust this man🥺
Thank you for being so informative yet enjoyable to watch. I’ve been struggling with acne, now scarring and your videos have been so helpful. I’m thinking 2020 will be a year dedicated to ALOT of skin care and more education of such ✨ Your videos are much appreciated.
It makes me really nervous as a POC when I hear about products used to treat dark spots that do so by inhibiting melanin production. I struggle with PIH, but I don't want to accidentally start bleaching my skin
check out Dr. Vantia Rattan on youtube! she is a brown woman who specializes in treating hyperpigmentation in POC
Will this work on fading away my sins???
yes! but apply the products to your soul!
@@JamesWelsh James does not sin....
Apply it to your comments on RUclips 🙄
@@JamesWelsh hahahah
@@JamesWelsh 😂🤣👍🤦🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
“However, who has the money for that ?... not me ..” 😂
Not me even but still watching lol
You tubers! lol
This...THIS IS WHAT I HAVE RN AND IT CAME UP ON MY RECOMMENDATION. Idk why i didn't search it up on ur channel when I literally watch u everyday.
Lol "it has a heartbeat" so true tho. That's what it feels like.
“Who has the money for that?, not me” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😭
I also don't have😭😭😭
Now u have
U r a youtuber.
I fade dark spots in 2-3 weeks for ~$25 for a few months supply. I get alpha arbutin, niacinamide + zinc, and the azaleic acid lotion from the Ordinary, and I use it every evening on my entire face.
It used to take months for a new dark spot to fade, and my darker skin tone means hyperpigmentation comes easily, so these products have definitely made a difference for me :)
😂
Thank you! I love that when I click on your links to products they arent $300 serums. I always brace myself to see the price tags but I am always pleasantly surprised with the stuff you link :) I've found my favorite toner because of you (I'm Fromm rice toner) and the ordinary niacinamide. 👏👏
I love james pointing at random places on the screen where i think he wanted to include information but just forgot.
That shirt is fire 👏
thank you! have no idea where its from haha
James: I just wanna mention that PaTieNcE is key here...
Me, watching all youtube videos at 1.5x the speed just to get through them faster: 👁👄👁 yes
Me too lmao, I even watch on 2x speed if what's being said is still comprehensible at that speed
oh my goodness, I NEED this in my life right now. James taking me to CHURCH with these tips! ty
Haha!!! Glad you liked the video 😝
Hyperpigmentation is the last and hardest part of my acne journey, I’ve done my research and know what ingredients use but it still doesn’t fade to the extent I’m happy with
Man, these comments!! Everyone is so nice, sharing their knowledge and their tips!
I'm a simple lady.
I see James, I click.
I see his skincare routine, I buy.
*Even though I'm currently unemployed with no income and it has been this way since April now.* 😬
Your mimikyu is the guardian of your skincare 🥺
YESSSS this is my biggest skin problem. I've been able to improve my skin care a lot but this is the last thing that has been bothering me. Thank you so much for posting this
I get dark spots from almost every single spot I get, and they stay red and noticeable for months even though I NEVER pick my spots, the most I do is put an acne patch on it. It's so frustrating
same :'( im so upset
Same
Lucy may you it’s the acne patch? I’ve heard that sometimes that gives people dark spots but I’m not sure 🤷♀️
@@SamG-tw2iz I get them even when i don't use an acne patch though. it doesn't seem to make a difference
Lots of sunscreen reapplication might help?
What i love abt your videos is that it doesn't have any annoying ads in between,, i can focus to what u say.. Thanks,
james ur skin is literally goals....u bring so genuine tips and products that really work ....❤
aw thanks so much!
I notice that when ever my skin starts to get sensitive, the cerave foaming cleanser for normal and oily skin helps alot. I know James doesn't really like cerave lol, but it helps.
I e been using The Ordinary Nicatinamide and Zinc for a week and I’m in love. Thank you for the recommendation. I can’t use aha/bha/pha so I’m really happy to have found something that doesn’t irritate my skin!
Looking forward to seeing the results.
The fact the we dont have this much money for this cool skin care products but still watch james and wish to have skin like him wowwww
Was watching Robert when notification popped up. Sorry Robert , James my favorite twin! Lol i looooove skincare.
awwww haha well thanks for coming over!
*Btw guys what he had wasnt a pimp it was a boil, people often confuse the two. A mutiple headed boil is called a Carbuncle. How To tell the difference is pimple are soft, small, squishy, always have a head and pop easily. Boils are hard, tend to grow bigger, most of the time start off without a head and won't pop, and then once it comes to a head once popped don't have a "satisfying" burst and may slowly leak and the bump won't go away everytime when you pop it ..if it even pops. Same with a carbuncle, only difference is that it will have a bunch of different heads.*
Pimples come with puberty or in adulthood due to a hormonal imbalance in adults and the main cause of pimples is that your hormones go crazy which raises your androgens, with your androgen levels higher you will have a higher production of sebum (the oil that comes from your pores/hair folicles). The sebum over production due to the excess of androgens in your body happen so often that it gets clogged up in your pores faster than you normally wash it away. As the oils clog up and harden in your pores it traps bacteria in your pores (think of it like the bacteria gets trapped in the oil and brought into your now very open pores. The bacteria causes an inflammatory response in your body which your white blood cells come and attack hence the pus and pimple appearing in the pore. When it's black heads or white heads it's just the accumulation of the oil mixed with dirt, debris, deadskinCells and not the bacteria, hence no pimple!!
That's why the way to keep your pimples and acne under control when you're a teen or an adult with hormonal acne is to Constantly wash your face, be prescribe topical treatments which both keep your oil production at bay while also fighting bacteria that's prone to be on your skin etc.
Now with boil prone skin a person who frequently gets boils and carbuncles which they confuse for a big pimple and acne that is a person who is prone to Staph and a boil is essentially a Staph infection. Staph lives mostly in your nose hence why is it harder to get rid of all together and transfer back onto your skin with everything you touch frequently (pillows, bedding, your phone etc.) Being prone to Staph does NOT mean that your dirty by any means. Much like the bacteria that causes acne it is impossible to eradicate but can only be kept at bay by constant skin care.
Staph bacteria that transfers onto your skin gets into your pores and goes deep into the deeper layers of your skin hence why it has a harder appearance than acne, doesn't have a head right away and doesn't pop often even when "popped" because it gets so deep down into the skin.
Hope this helps ❤️
I wish I had skin like you 😍 My struggle has been non stop acne and dark spots after 😭 I don't know what went wrong but nothing has been helping me so far.
Love that you include and understand the needs of those with rosacea! I know the pain of it and although I don't suffer from severe breakouts anymore, the redness and skin sensitivity continues! Your channel has helped me understand what ingredients can cause a flare up and my skin has never felt better and looks much less irritated. Thanks for your thorough and indepth content!
“If anyone says they use lemon on their skin I will block you and delete you from the internet” the only proper response
Don't forget the honey with it..

You have helped transform my skin already!!! So happy with my results. Sensitive, acne prone, rosacea, combination skin..thank you. I tell everyone about you!!
Is your skin fine now? What'd you do to fade away the PIH? Update please
Milk cleanser, snail serum and an amazing Vaseline like sunscreen. I don’t use any acid on my face or anything that would strip my natural oils. All my redness is gone.
I really love the fact that he's sitting there in a pikachu shirt while mimikyu is sitting behind him, watching :D
Hey finally found a youtuber who discuss about oily skin because everyone seems to have dry skin I've been binge watching you videos and order some k beauty products from yesstyle hope I can see a difference in my skin.!
I used to be so concerned when back in the day Id get one pimple now i wish it was just one T_T
sheyla lopez felt that
can’t wait for James and Hyram own skincare brand
I’ve had a dark spot for over 6 months. Hopefully this works still even though it’s been so long. Because I’m so insecure about it. I don’t think I can wait up to 24 months!!!!
I liked your point about keeping these areas hydrated, and being patient. Your skin needs nurturing to heal, not a full scale attack. This video made me take a look at the dark spots I had when I initially bought some products for PIH and they have faded a ton!
Lord knows I needed this video! My skin is currently subsiding from a collection of “out of nowhere” breakouts on my cheeks. (Still have 2 active spots left 😭) but the dark spots are taking their sweet time to fade
3.24 when he says who had the money for that. Not me. Priceless thanks James for being super relatable
James: 11:54 - "JUST PUT IT ON."
Me: SIR YES SIR!!!
Can I just say I love how you mention SUNSCREEN more than ANYTHING else on this video? I love when you took ALL that time to research your acids and products and what was good combo's and what wasn't and you STILL said, Forget all the other stuff. If you're not gonna wear sunscreen you are wasting your money anyway. That alone shows how much you care.
Retinol has done everything for me! Unclog pores and fade any dark spots!
I started using it and already seeing a difference cause I’ve got pigmentation EVERYWHERE on my face after terrible acne. And I use vitamin c!
In how many weeks it worked for you?
Can a 15 year old use retinol?
Great video as always, James!
You should do a video on skin purging vs. breaking out! I feel like not enough people (including myself) know how to tell a difference between the two! Thanks! 💖
Oh perfect that time of the month just left some demons on my face!
hope this helps!

I've had dark spots on my face that don't want to leave, like ever. Instead of a summer vacation its turned into a lifetime vacation 😪
The acids have helped me tremendously. I had eczema dark patches and the glycolic acid toner and lactic acid helped a lot. Now I'm doing vit c and alpha arbutin at night to completely remove the rest
Finna add this to all of my playlists because PIH takes over my life

The background describe in 5 words: cute,nice , pretty, beautiful and aesthetic.😂 These is how much I'm in love with the background.
Just what I needed!!! Been dealing with a sudden outbreak of acne on my cheeks for the past few months. I wanted to get The Ordinary's Niacinamide but I think Arbutin and Transzemic Acid is more suitable for me.
5% Benzoyl Peroxide has been tackling my angry pimples really well. I feel like my skin is very stubborn. I have a PHA mixed with niacinamide but it hasn't been responding to the product at all. I recently put The Ordinary 10% Lactic Acid in and it made a huge difference. Did not have any bad reaction to it even though it is a higher concentrate. I might try not mixing the PHA right after or use it in the morning only.
I'm still on the hunt for a good cleanser though. Currently using Innisfree Olive Cleanser, it isn't heavy but maybe not suitable for my skin. I want something slightly stronger 😂
Edit: have used Some By Mi cica spot treatment and Cosrx aha and bha toner which didn't do alot for me. Exfoilate twice a week with The Cure.
When it comes to acne tips, it may seem backwards but you will get the best from people who suffer from acne.
IVE LITERALLY THINKING BOUT MY DARK SPOTS AND YOUR VIDEO POPPED UP LMAO THANK YOU JAMES!

i've never been sad about a paula's choice purchase tbh their calm line did wonders for my dry and sensitive skin during the winter
YOUR SHIRT 💜
For me, and I can never stop repeating myself, Niacinamide faded away in two months the dark spots that were bugging me for nearly a year. After that, when I get a pimple (wich also stopped ocurring as often) I use an hydrocolloid patch on it and it works magic!
This was very interesting. I will be 60 years old in the Fall 2020. Can you please recommend a facial regiment for women like me in their 50-60's years of age? If you can not, please direct me to an influencer and a specific company that makes great products for us.
Your videos are very informative and that's what I like. NO BS.
Have a great day!
Ugh i never pick my skin, but whether I get a tiny spot or cystic spot, i get dark spots that last YEARS.
As a recovering skin picker this video was priceless! Thank you James ♥️
I started getting bad acne on my lower check area mid August of 2019 and it’s beginning to look like scars. I don’t pick at it or touch it ever. I wash my bed sheets every week and blanket every other week. Just when I think the acne will heal, new ones pop up on top of the older ones leaving really bad dark spots/ scars. 😭
Stephanie Pham hmm, lower cheek? Do you mean around your jawline and below your cheekbone? If so, it’s hormonal acne and I have the same thing. It. Is. The. Worst. Hurts SOO badly, and then immediately scars when the pain goes away. The scar will stay there for literally 5 months even with a good exfoliating routine and not picking at it at all.
Sophia Blackthorn it’s only on my left beneath my cheekbones! Currently I’m doing a better job of eating healthier and drinking more water. No new spots but hopefully it’s stays that way!
I must say - I absolutely adore you! Your videos are so well made, beautiful editing, lovely shots of you showing/using the products, concise explanations, and you always look fabulous!
I don't get dark spots, but red ones. Beautiful! Best treatment for those: Adapalen and/or tretinoin.
Tretinoin is good for spot
Mohammad Numan Does trentinoin work good for Post inflammatory erythema? Does it help fade?
Hey James, just a quick question. Could you please please please give a step by step overview of how to incorporate these products into your daily skin routine (AM/PM) to get rid of PIH? I would be forever grateful! loving your videos. They are really helpful
Request- how to fade discoloration around the mouth. I have used so many products and nothing works.
Try the niod 30% etheylated vitamin c every night. Doesn't sting and feels like a soothing oil. It got rid of my discoloration around the mouth area completely.
Sounds like melasma? Look into that maybe.
Just the video I've been waiting for! Thanks to you my skin just keeps getting better n better!!
LOOOOL ommmg! "if anyone says I use lemon I will block you" im crying!
I was going to jokingly say I use cucumber water lol
also keep saying "loads" in every video please!
LOOOOOL! thanks for watching till the end!
Consider an at-home peel. Something mild like a Mandelic 40% would help. Daily melanin inhibitors with alpha arbutin or hydroquinone will work as well.
6:25 are we not going to address the poltergeist in your house?
Hahaha i was going throught the comments looking if anyone else had to go back and see what fell there. 😂😂
Kintija Anspoka same here 😂
Seriously!!! There’s no comments mentioning this. I played it over so many times, it appears to be a picture! I think it’s pretty cool and love how he just went back to the video. I would have left my house 😂
I saw it too
Kintija Anspoka I saw that
A cystic pimple is an infection. Use a washcloth wet with hot water and press it gently to the pimple until it cools down. The hot washcloth treatment is good for other skin infections, too.
OK, this time I'm going out for dinner... I can't watch it yet 😭 hehe 💕💕

I went for Moroccan food tonight my lovely, it was so good 😁 loving the video as always
Could you do a video where you just do an AM and PM routine for getting rid of dark spots? Like the products you use here or are currently using, but just in order of use for daily use. Or if it's like Day 1 this, and Day 2 this then repeat. If that makes sense. I'm doing my best to learn but it is hard to keep track of what ingredients interact with others and which ones and can be applied at the same time, or during day or night time.
Lol exactly, it’s never ready to be picked🙄 I put aloe on and try to forget them
Maybe this will help:

I love how you say that dark spots aren't a problem and it's just cosmetic. People always say that I'm suffering from acne or hyperpigmentation and although that's true to some extent, I. E. Confidence is knocked, you feel body conscious, people might not look you in the eye etc. However, I don't think using language like suffering, or saying terrible helps these things. In fact it makes people more stressed about their skin (which can ofc can trigger more acne) and also demonises essentially stuff ur skin is just going to do. I feel as if by normalising acne, people will feel more okay with themselves (also lessen skin related stresses which in turn can help their skin) and also obviously combat commercialisation and capitalism.
Anyway irrelevant rant over but I just wanted to say it's refreshing to see someone phrase skincare language in more objective terms rather than sounding like they're going to war with their skin especially when even the dermatologists use negative terminalogy.
Much love xxx
"Dark spots usually last from 3 months to 24 months"
Me: Ahh yes... wait... "MONTHS"?!
Hello James! I’m going back and viewing videos I haven’t seen. You are so educational. Love it!
Rosehip seed oil...is fading my dark spots....I have extremely sensitive skin...I was wondering if you make a vedio on medelic acid 20%
So glad I found this, been dealing with this for years, I’m convinced it’s impossible to get rid of hyperpigmentation 😭 WE MOVE
i had a spot just like that on my cheek too... it hurt like hell and i'm usually a picker but i didn't pick it and i think i should've because it's been a few weeks and it's still on my face, doesn't hurt anymore but it's like "swollen" and looks like a dark spot........ i'm sick of it and at this stage i literally can't pop it or whatever because i think it's not inflamed anymore 😭
Take a rag with hot water and press it on the spot fir 5 mins then wait til the next morning
@@addianyjoseph7481 Yes! I wish I had known that as a teenager. It would have saved me some bad permanent scars.
@@addianyjoseph7481 omg i only saw this now lmao... it's gone now but if i ever get another one i'll do that, thanks! 💕
1:19 “I didn’t pick it.....at first” I FELT THAT 😩
Lasers and chemical peels give people with dark skin further post inflammatory hyperpigmentation!
I've noticed this after using BHAs! I thought I was doing something wrong because my skin would become about 2/3 shades darker
Bc we think we don't need sunscreen
Courtney Campbell exactly
DM Punk has your skin resumed to its natural shade ?
@@dynamitedynamite2737 it took about 4-5 days of a stripped back routine to go back to normal. I found applying the Misha time Revolution fte straight after cleansing did wonders!
Thank you for the shout out for sunscreen! And you are so right - if someone thinks they hate the feel, they should check out items from Korea and Japan. I use Etude Sunprise. Less than $10 and it sinks in so fast.
Sunscreen, good. Lemon, bad!! 😝
James, I genuinely need your help. I'm suffering from hormonal acne and textured skin and dark spots. Can you please suggest me which products should I use from The Ordinary skincare line, please?
Get a benzoyl peroxide wash
If I meet james in person I wana hug him and Robert both together and give them a hugeeeeeee kiss to both of them. They GIVE ME LIFE EVERYDAY
