Skintastic

I have had some skin issues since I turned 20 and this summer my frustration reached its peak.

So I reached out to you fools for your advice. So I’d like to update Courtney, Mike, my Pops, Aunt Darla and Starshine because they shared their stories/offered advice.

When my mom came to visit in Portland we went to Sephora and asked them to HELLLLLLLLLP me!

We met a woman who went through the same thing as an adult. She said stress was a huge factor so to begin with she “detoxed” herself aka used a lazative to remove all toxins from her body.

At this point I was desperate…OK I’ll do it.

(this was not fun and i’ll never take a laxative, ever, ever again. I was crying, and lying in the shower and was out of commission for almost 48 hours. this might be TMI but both ends people, both ends.)

She also took us to the Boscia section in Sephora.

Boscia is a preservative free skin care line that has products with what they call “Botanical Blast” that fight bad acne. The company does not advertise and is made in Japan. The products are expensive but I have to say…

TOTALLY WORTH IT!

They are so gentle and they work for me. I don’t use the whole entire line anymore.  I started with all and found that all I need is the face wash, oil make up remover and moisturizer.

Now to fight zits on the spot at night I use Benzoyl Peroxide ($1.97 @ Walmart) and during the day a new product by Neutragena ($9) it fights zits with salicylic acid and it is also supposed to fade acne scars.

So that, my friends and awesome advice givers, is where you come in. As this is my most recent skin issue.

HOW DO I GET RID OF THESE SCARS?

I can’t fully see a difference with this new Neutrogena stuff, so if you know anything help a girl out!

Thanks in advance!
