Hi Friends,

If you’re here, I’m dropping some of my favorite skincare products. I have sensitive, combination skin that's easily accessible to fungal acne. I am not a dermatologist. Always check ingredients or do a patch test before trying a new product. I’m recommending products from sites I use. Everything is hyperlinked below. Jolse has a 4-6 weeks process time, FYI, but you can find most of these on Amazon (make sure to buy directly from the associated brand).

REMINDER: Always give yourself time before incorporating a new product into your routine. A cleanser and moisturizer should never make you break out. If they do, then you’re probably allergic.

Drink water. Wash your face. Wear your sunscreen.

Love Syn
