1.
Like it or not, skin tone and texture affect your looks more than most think.
If you’re darker and have acne, hyperpigmentation, or textured skin?
People subconsciously rate you lower.
Especially in dating or social media.
2.
Clear, even-toned skin = youth, health, status.
Whether you’re black, brown, white, etc., “glass skin” is universally desirable.
It makes you look points higher even with average bone structure.
3.Brutal truth:
4.
But here’s the good part:
You can literally fix your skin.
50% of people stay acne-ridden because they believe in TikTok skincare garbage.
5. Acne Removal Protocol
Step 1: Medical-grade cleanser
Step 2: Moisturizer or hydrating cream
Use non-comedogenic products
Step 3: Exfoliate 2–3x/week
Step 4: Kill fungal acne
Step 5: Diet + lifestyle
6. Hyperpigmentation?
Use azelaic acid, niacinamide, or alpha arbutin.
These ingredients brighten dark spots without bleaching or irritating skin.
Be patient — it fades slowly.
7. Supplements
8. Accutane?
If nothing works, Accutane is the nuke.
You’ll need a prescription.
Expect dry lips, bloodwork, and 4–6 months of commitment.
But it wipes acne permanently for most.
9. Skin tone matters.
But clear skin matters more.
You don’t need to be pale — you need to be clean, even-toned, glowing.
That’s how you softmax without even touching surgery.
10. TL;DR:
Stop coping with filters and excuses
Fix your skin like your SMV depends on it — because it does
Use medical-grade products, be consistent, and don’t believe influencer BS
Bump this so someone finally stops using “natural organic goat milk soap” and starts fixing their face for real.
You don’t need perfect genetics.
You need discipline.

3.Brutal truth:
- If you’re lighter-skinned with clear skin → you already look “cleaner”
- If you’re darker with acne or hyperpigmentation → people assume poor hygiene or low status (unfair, but real)

5. Acne Removal Protocol
Step 1: Medical-grade cleanser
- Use Benzoyl Peroxide 5% (AM) → kills acne bacteria
- Use Salicylic Acid 2% (PM) → unclogs pores
- Leave on face for 60 seconds.
Step 2: Moisturizer or hydrating cream
Use non-comedogenic products
- Oily skin ≠ don’t moisturize. Dry skin worsens acne.
Step 3: Exfoliate 2–3x/week
- Use glycolic acid or retinol (not both on same day)
- This smooths texture, fades dark spots, and clears pores.
Step 4: Kill fungal acne
- Use Nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo as a face mask 3x/week
- Leave it on 5 minutes → wash off. Fungal acne ≠ regular acne.
Step 5: Diet + lifestyle
- Cut seed oils and added sugar
- Drink 2–3L water
- Change pillowcase 2x/week
- Don’t touch your face
6. Hyperpigmentation?
Use azelaic acid, niacinamide, or alpha arbutin.
These ingredients brighten dark spots without bleaching or irritating skin.
Be patient — it fades slowly.
7. Supplements
- Zinc (25–50mg daily) — reduces oil & inflammation
- Omega-3s (fish oil) — fights internal inflammation
- Vitamin A — only if you’re not on Accutane
- Probiotics — gut-skin link is real
