Well friends, I have a special episode for y'all today. I am talking about skincare — specifically about acne. Even more specific than that, I am talking about the different acne-fighting ingredients found in skincare products.
This episode came about when I was confused about what ingredients to look for in products, ingredients to avoid and ingredients not use in combination. I also decided I should stop taking advice from people who were not experts on the subject — and when I mean experts, I mean people who are not dermatologists.
I did the research (All the information came from Allure.com, what can I say they are the beauty expert) to learn all the major skincare ingredients and finally find out who should use products with what ingredient. I am talking about Niacinamide, BHAs, PHAs, Arbutin and more.
Also, today is the last episode of Season 2 — YAY! But on a happy note, Season 3 will start this Friday with a Fall GRWM.
