It never occurred to me the importance of a proper skincare routine until I entered puberty. At first, I had no idea what was going on, what was causing my skin to break out, until the last 2 years of high school. I can still remember the Biology teacher going through the material on the Reproductive Cycle, then explaining how estrogen and internal body changes contribute to acne.
