Taking Control of My Sensitive Skin

As an athlete, I’ve always struggled with combination skin prone to breakouts. Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t shake off the self-doubt that came with it. It wasn’t until I was in college that I decided to take matters into my own hands and consult a dermatologist.

A New Regime

The doctor prescribed me a trio of creams, ointments, and pills to tackle my skin issues. After a few months, my skin started to clear up, and I felt a surge of confidence. However, relying on medication wasn’t ideal, and I wanted to explore alternative solutions.

The Cost of Clear Skin

As I became more mindful of my finances, I realized that the monthly cost of my prescriptions added up quickly – even with insurance. I began searching for more affordable and natural solutions.

Discovering DIY Skin Care

I stumbled upon a world of homemade masks, scrubs, ointments, and toners that could be made using everyday household items. I was amazed by the positive impact these natural remedies had on my skin. The challenge was sifting through the countless recipes and recommendations online.
