[Research] Have you ever had the clear skin of your dreams then fucked it up again by trying new things...

I don’t think I’ve ever had the clear skin of my dreams, but I remember my skin was alllllright when I knew fuck all about skincare and just used whatever cleanser I had on hand and a moisturizer.

I discovered this and went from 0 to 100 and bought so much random shit and slapped it all over my face. Breakouts. Everywhere.

In response, I tried to counteract this with an “acne cleanser”. My skin got even worse. Just purging, right? LOL. It took me 2 bottles of this stuff to make me realize it was causing breakouts.

Now I’ve finally got things under control after a tooonnnnn of research. But I’m still left with so many scars from that god awful ordeal :(((( rookiest of rookie mistakes.
