I’ve been experimenting a little bit more with my skincare lately. For years, I was really hesitant to make any changes – it took me a really, really long time to get my acne under control, and to get to a place where I was comfortable with my bare skin. Since it took me so long to figure it out, I was so nervous to make any changes to upset the balance! But I feel like I have a better handle on what’s ok to change, what ingredients won’t irritate my skin, and what kind of products I like, so I’m a little more willing to switch it up or try something new. The most recent thing that I tried and ended up loving was the Drunk Elephant Bouncy Brightfacial Brightening Mask.

For as much as I love beauty and skincare, I don’t post about it that much. Typically, I have a very tried-and-true routine with both my makeup and my skincare, and don’t deviate from it too much. I have my skin figured out right now, but in my teens and twenties I had to be very very careful about the products I used, which led to me being very hesitant to use anything outside of my normal routine.
