💎 Hit or Miss? Random Skincare Experiments

- Works for an hour, then skin goes back to normal. While it provides an instant mattifying effect, it doesn’t deliver long-term benefits. However, it can be useful before special occasions for temporary oil control.
💌 Final Thoughts & Skincare Tips
A well-structured skincare routine helps tackle acne, pigmentation, and KP while keeping skin healthy and hydrated. Here are a few additional tips to optimize skincare:
- Consistency is key! Sticking to a routine ensures long-term results.
- Patch test new products. Avoid irritation by testing new formulations before full application.
- Hydration is essential. Even oily skin needs adequate moisture to maintain balance.
- Use sunscreen daily. Protecting your skin from UV damage prevents premature aging and hyperpigmentation.
