Since November decided to rear its ugly head, I am reminded of all the things I wanted to achieve in 2017 and that clear skin was one of them.\u00a0 You see, at the end of 2016, I promised myself that I would do my best to find a skincare regimen and lifestyle that would help me finally achieve I-woke-up-like-this skin. Before I go any further, in case you are new to my blog (Welcome!), I must mention that I have combination and hormonal acne-prone skin. That’s a lot, I know!<\/p>\n

Getting my skin under control without using any harsh chemicals or pills has been quite a journey. This year, I tried to treat myself to facials once a month (most months) which have helped a lot. However, because of travels, I haven’t been as consistent with them as I would’ve wanted to.<\/p>\n

To help with inflammation of my skin, I changed my diet a few times. I tried eating a vegetarian diet, a plant-based diet and now I am on a vegan diet. Since, my skin reacts to animal products so I will be continuing on that path for now.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now on to skincare. As a beauty blogger, I get to try many different products. I am grateful for the opportunity but I understand that it can come at a price. My skin constantly having to adjust to new skincare regimens and products can be counter productive. My skin is very reactive and let’s me know when something is not playing nice.<\/p>\n

As the year dwindles, I want to give it one last effort for 2017. So from now until the clock strikes 12 on January 1, this is what I will be doing:<\/p>\n
