I believe in doing the best you can right now to get to your future goals. I tell my friends all the time to start working on their future selves NOW. That being said, I certainly did not see adult Acne in my future, uh uhn.

 I did my best, stayed consistent and here I am, almost acne free. Almost because of stress and Skin care routine lapses.

Whilst I’m obviously not coming from a position of power, believe me when I tell you I’ve come a long way.

Today, I bring you the Lazy Girl’s Guide to clear skin.

The most important thing is finding the cause of your acne so I recommend seeing a dermatologist. I apparently had teenage acne (due to over secretion of sebum/“oil”) so I came up with what I call the acne triangle.

 A simple explanation would be this: the skin produces oil, dirt gets on your face and you obviously have dead skin cells. The combination of these things leads to dirt getting trapped, creating an ideal environment for germs to flourish, your skin reacts and boom. Acne.

Much like the fire triangle, I figured, delete one of these parameters and you’re able to combat acne.
