Week 41: Banish Acne Scars

Welcome back beautiful people!

Looking back on the content that I provided in 2016, it was slim pickings. I would like to apologize for leaving a lot of you hung and dry for majority of 2016. I intend to post a lot more in 2017 (aiming for roughly 1 new post every week). I also intend to take my skincare regimen very seriously in the new year. There were many times this year that I neglected my routine and obviously faced the consequences when it came to my skin.
Let's make 2017 amazing!
As for this week's blog post, we've got a blast from the past set of before photos. These were taken March 3, 2015 so roughly 1.5 years of difference! Check out that difference of eyebrow thickness, it's like night and day! It's actually quite hard in a way to look at these before photos but also very uplifting at the same time. I can't even believe how far my skin has come over the past year and a bit. I also can't believe how bad my acne actually was back in 2014/2015. It's pretty crazy to think that sometimes I think my skin looks bad today, without remembering how far I've come along. Hence why I love creating these before&after acne posts!

I encourage all of you who are on a skin journey to take pictures of your progress every step of the way. Because we see our own faces each and everyday, it is hard to tell a difference in our skin, however, our skin is in fact changing everyday (little by little). Being able to have progress pictures to look back on really show you how far you've actually come! Never ever be ashamed of your skin, whether it's active acne on your face, or scars that were left behind! We're all in this together and we know that acne is a completely normal and human thing!

Week 40: Banish Acne Scars

Welcome back wonderful people!

Definitely starting to get back into the swing of uploading (and I thank you for your patience). I've had a couple little friends popped up on the left side of my cheek and on my chin and I know exactly why they showed up. P M S. Yup, it's that special time of the month and of course it wouldn't be complete without a couple pimples popping up. I've also noticed a lot of little bumps on my forehead which I believe is directly related to my eating habits lately. I haven't been eating super healthy like I normally do, thus the consequence of clogged pores and the little bumps.

I was sort of at a plateau in terms of how my skin has been looking lately which I think is a result of many things: poor eating habits, not getting enough sleep, not drinking enough water, etc. etc. The birth control does however still seem to be working (in terms of my hormonal acne), and using the Banish Acne Scars M Banisher roller is slowly but surely helping with the new scars that have popped up. Onto the before & after pictures, shall we?

The before pictures were taken from Week 7: Banish Acne Scars blog post which was posted on February 22, 2015. Quite a long time if you ask me, however, this is to be expected. I've said it before and I will say it again: fading your acne scars takes time. Rome wasn't build in a day people, and clear skin doesn't happen overnight. Stick with your routines, drink plenty of water, and eat tons of fruits and veggies!
