My skin has always been something that I have struggled with. When I was in 8th grade, my mom started to teach me the importance of skincare, washing my face, taking off my makeup, a simple routine. However, at the same time, I started wearing makeup… I was sleeping in my makeup most nights which, looking back, seems miserable! I have no idea how I put up with it. Around this time, I started my period and my hormones were in influx. A lot was changing and so was my skin. It wasn’t bad but I would have the occasional pimple. It was no big deal! But then things started going downhill for my skin.
