'Just use vitamin C' is not a full treatment plan, y'all. There are different KINDS of hyperpigmentation and they need different approaches — swipe to see the breakdown I wish someone gave me years ago. Comment 'SPOTS' for a simple guide.

We are up early to get used to going to class early. The semester started today, and even though its a zoom evening class, I still did my facial routine. If I gotta turn on this camera, I can't look like this!

I cant say enough about Saltair and Ulta Beauty when I shop there! I saw this aand wanted to share this information on how you can pair your body wash besides the scent.

I can't say this enough: match your skin care needs to what it needs.🫶🏾🫶🏾
