The Holy Grail of Make-Up and Skin Care
I will start by admitting I do not wear make-up a lot and usually go for the bare minimum. I recognize that I am a natural beauty and whole-heartedly embrace that. There are, however, a few make-up products that I have ordered from around the world, travelled miles to obtain, have not and will never replace.

I'm So Grateful for My Ex Job
I discovered my holy grail skincare product - The One, my ride or die, my deserted island product - approximately four years ago. I was working at a well-known beauty retail store at the time as a part-time assistant manager. I mostly did behind the scenes work, such as unloading truck shipments or changing marketing at ungodly hours in the morning before opening hours. Being a manager in a beauty store has its perks - including many, many pieces of gratis gifted to me that I wouldn't have been able to afford even with my employee discount. However, this isn't an expensive cream or foundation. My holy grail skincare product wasn't even for sale at this retailer. And it still isn't. And it probably never will be. But because I was a manager at this store, it led me to discover that I needed this product in my life and it changed the quality and feel of my skin almost immediately. There is no going back.

Exfoliation: Secret Step To A Smoother Skin
The whole skincare routine bows down to one thing: Exfoliation. And hands down, exfoliation feels heavenly. The feeling of having all the dirt and impurities washing off your skin makes your skin light and clear.

Take (skin) Care
When I was a teenager I read an article in Seventeen magazine about skincare that highlighted famous celebrities' best tips and tricks for radiant skin as they age. I looked in the mirror and for the first time, questioned how "healthy" my skin looked. The thought had never crossed my mind before. I furrowed my brow and - SHOCK!- a teeny crease formed between my eyebrows. Horrified, I ran out to my local drugstore and spent all my money on a little jar of Olay Deep Wrinkle Treatment. Back home I smeared the goop designed to attack aging skin onto my pristine forehead, relieved to have 'solved' the problem.

Favorite Skincare Finds From "Quarantine" That I Still Use Today
Well since then I've been s(afe)tuck at home. As a Taurus sun, that is far from a bad thing because that meant I had more time to take care of myself. It’s also pretty common for Venus-ruled astrology signs to be self-care enthusiasts so if you relate, you might have some Venus placements in your birth chart or aspects that activate a Venusian vibe.

Skincare Faves
I’ll start off by saying that I’m able to try out a lot of skincare and other beauty products due to the nature of the job I work in. It also helps that I’m not exactly loyal to any specific product or brand, so I’m always open to trying anything out.

From Spots to Wrinkles...
As a teenager, my skin was very pimple-prone! The only advice my mother could offer was....DON’T eat chocolate, it gives you pimples! I didn’t even eat that much chocolate surely?

Your Search for the Holy Grail is Over: My Extensive Beauty Bible.
I'm going to be honest. I'm bad at makeup. I'm good at baking cakes, but not at baking my face. By the end of the day I'm beat, but my makeup is certainly not on fleek. But that doesn't stop me from having fun with beauty products. And I can proudly say, at 28, I have finally found a makeup and skincare routine that works for me. It only took about a decade of trial and error.

My Acne Journey that led me to MetroGel.
As a child I never really thought that acne was ever going to be a problem because my mom never had any issues and my dad for the most part didn't have any issues. I should have concentrated more on my dad though. He would have a weird breakout once or twice out of nowhere.

The Long Skincare Journey
As you can see from my photo, I have some hyperpigmentation. Dry skin around my mouth and oily around my nose. My forehead? Oh the skin there is perfect. I should also let you know by way of introductions that the hyperpigmentation is mixed with acne scars, because, in spite of my good intentions, I touch my face. A LOT. I'm 43 with acne. Acne so bad that I could wash my face and put on makeup at 9am, and by noon be completely broken out. I'm also allergic to a ton of things and so finding a skincare routine that works to simply keep my skin quiet is no small task.

Top Day by day Skin health management Tips
'Delicate healthy skin' is administered by a couple of fundamental guidelines. Notwithstanding, even before we dig into the principles for touchy healthy skin, it's critical to comprehend what a delicate skin is. Touchy skin is one which can't endure any horrible conditions (natural/other), and which effectively gets aggravated on contact with unfamiliar materials (counting skin health management items). Hence, a few items are particularly marked as delicate healthy skin items. The level of affectability can anyway change from individual to individual (and relying upon that, the delicate skin health management methods differ as well).
