The skincare routine that worked for me (explanation and links)

[RhodesiaNotZimbabwe]

Intro
My skin was pretty oily before this, and I had bad acne around my lips, chin, and nose. I would almost always have some sort of new breakout popping up, and my skin looked awful. If this sounds like you, this post might help a lot. Now I haven't had any sort of acne/pimples in months; my skin texture is smoother and more even, and my sebaceous filaments are almost invisible now.

All of the links for the products I use will be at the end.

AM:
1. Wash face with warm water
2. Use hyaluronic acid serum across the whole face
- Make sure it is fully absorbed and spread out before you move on to the next step.
- This helps a lot with making your skin softer/smoother while making it appear more hydrated
- Make sure your face is still a little damp before you apply the hyaluronic acid.
3. Use azelaic acid
- This helps a lot with redness and hyperpigmentation
4. Apply moisturizer to your face
5. Apply sunscreen
- Consider reapplying sunscreen throughout the day if you're going to be outside a lot

PM:
1. Wash face with warm water
2. Apply your cleanser across your face and then wash it off with water
3. Apply your moisturizer to your face

Accutane (Very Important)
I think this is the biggest game changer for your skin, and it has given me the best results. I take a 30 mg pill once every 3 days.

Extra:
- Drink enough water (3-4 liters per day)
- Sleep at least 7 hours
- You can buy a headband or anything that can be used to hold your hair back to make applying stuff to your forehead easier.

It may have made it a little smaller, but I haven't been checking/comparing the differences in my nose since starting, so I'm not 100% sure if it did/how much smaller it made my nose. Probably minimal difference.

I haven't stopped taking Accutane yet, but from what I've seen with other people, yes.
