In this video I’m breaking down the main reasons your acne is not clearing, because trust me—I’ve been there. I struggled with acne for over 10 years, and getting it under control took way more than just buying random products online. While I do my makeup, I walk you through the small habits that quietly keep bacteria on your skin and stop your skincare from actually doing its job. I talk about things like not washing your pillowcases and bedsheets often enough (and why I always recommend switching to a silk pillowcase), plus why using a bathroom towel to pat your face dry can keep reintroducing bacteria. I also get into skincare routine mistakes, like not tailoring your routine to the seasons (my summer skin and winter skin need completely different things), and using way too many active ingredients at once. And my bonus tip—because people always ignore it—is washing your makeup brushes. If you take anything from this, it’s to strip your routine back, keep things sanitary, and learn what your skin is actually asking for so you can finally create the best scenario for your acne to clear.
