Skincare Made Simple for the Twenty-Something
I got an early birthday present in January, a few months before I started my twentieth trip around the sun that, honestly, I could've dealt without. See, I was fortunate to have minor (if any) skin issues in my teens. The occasional small, hormone-related pimple on my chin or nose—nothing that wouldn't go away on its own in a few days. But the start of the new year brought me breakouts like I'd never before encountered. I've been battling stubborn cluster breakouts that are so long-lasting that I can no longer blame them on my cycle, and I have gotten used to the appearance of acne scars on my cheeks. 'Acne face mapping' told me it has to do with respiratory issues (fairly positive I'm fine in that area of health); countless articles have told me to change my pillowcases often and clean my phone screen (but, like, when do I ever hold my phone up to my face anymore? Do people still make phone calls?); and I'm sure there are many other reasons for cheek breakouts that the internet has come up with - none of which really seem to click with me or my lifestyle.
