A walk through my closet ; clearing my two-coloured face and incorporating simplicity while at it.
Alhough, those years are far gone and never will they come back to me again but, could I have forgotten what it almost made off my self esteem?Impossibly No.
Have always had a sensitive skin but I never paid close attention to it while I was growing up as a teenager, I literally can apply anything on my skin topically, you just had to convince me well enough, stating reasons why it is beneficial to my skin.
During the mid 20s, I could remember how my peers in school would bring unused condoms to school, not to make do with it in that direction you might be thinking right now but, to use it to clear their bumpy or pimples inhabited faces as a result of puberty. Thankfully, it worked for few of them and other fews ?They consistently used it, hoping for their miracles from the all clearing spermicide gel, Good for them!
My own troubles then was far from pimples, it was a skin issue, a skin problem that I couldn't cover nor hide because, it chose my face of all parts of my body.
There's no day in school, no day at home or anywhere at all that I wouldn't pity gesture from people, some people went as far as giving me a nick name Two faced, "was it that bad"?I don't know because I stopped looking at the mirror.
My face then, was clustered with circled of black spots, this was a result of taking the wrong drugs whenever I fell ill but I know better now.
THE PROCESS OF CLEARING MY FACE.
I opted in for black soap as my bathing soap instead of soaps with big names - I did made them by myself, Thanks to those "How to" YouTube videos.
I started taking lot of water owing to the advise of my Biology Teacher then
I shopping for any cosmetics product that had anti- black spot on it label, I was that desperate.
I began to pay attention to my diet - intake of lot fruits and vegetables.
Was there any changes at all after all these?Hold on tight, you'll see for yourself soon.
MY MINIMALISTIC CULTURE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO SKIN PRODUCTS.
Recently, I had to come to terms with shopping for quality instead of owning an heavy load of non potent cosmetic products however, anyone that doesn't know what works for his or her skin is likely to say this is, poverty mentality, it's a free world, everyone is free to own their belief.
Also, I go for cosmetic products with higher milligrams and grams especially, face cream and body cream because I don't like going in and out of shopping malls every now and then just for one item.
Again, I use cosmetic products that I can always afford not products that I will have to discontinue it use just because, I can't afford it anymore.
A BEEP INTO MY SKIN ROUTINE.
NIGHT ROUTINE
- My night routine is as simple as cleaning my face using skin toner(antiseptic) with cotton wool and applying my all multipurpose day and night face cream on my face.
DAY ROUTINE
After cleaning my face, I apply face serum collagen,leave it to dry and then apply face cream to seal it all up.
Afterwards, I apply the moisturizing hand cream,follow by body cream.
THE OUTCOME
These are the results of my skin routine so far, give your thought concerning it?

Quite an interesting revealing how you've traversed from a two-faced girl into a lady intentional with her skincare products. You had to ensure the constant and unwanted descriptions day in and out and that propelled you into finding near permanent solutions. Your face speaks of work well done.
Yeah,a lot of work you see right there.
Thank you for reading through. @jjmusa2004
You're welcome
Those products have done what they were required to do. Your face is glowing and it's beautiful. Whoever says that shopping for potent products over non-quality product is poverty mentality really needs to reconsider his/her line of thinking
You know sometimes quality product doesn't
equals to expensive products.
Some people believe that, if a product isn't pricey that means it can't be effective enought.
You're so kind with words,thank you. @oluchi31
