Hello beauties! The past few months have been an absolute whirlwind for me, but I'm happy to say that I am back in full-force blogging mode! Since I hope to do quite a bit of skin product reviews and tips, I thought it would be a good idea to write a short post just explaining my skin - freckles and all!
1. Let's start with the basics: my nationality. I am mostly Norwegian and German, with a little hint of English. So what does that mean? I'm very fair with freckles! In the winter, my freckles are almost unnoticeable, but they quickly darken up in the summer. And as fair as I am, I do have the ability to tan if I use the right products.
2. I do have history of skin cancer in my family, so I am very careful about protecting my skin from the sun! Look for an upcoming post on how I protect myself with my favorite sunblock products.
3. I have combination skin! If you don't already know, it means my forehead, nose, and chin are all oily while my cheeks are dry.
4. I have very acne-prone skin in the areas that are oily - especially my chin and forehead. But, after working with a dermatologist to find the best acne medication for me, I have been almost completely clear! I very rarely have a breakout and if I do, it is usually very small. However, please remember that I am not a professional, so I always encourage people struggling with acne to speak to a dermatologist to find what products work best for them! :)
5. I have Keratosis Pilaris (KP) on my arms and legs. What's KP? Basically, it's a very common and genetic skin condition that causes little red bumps and a rough texture. When I was young, my case was pretty severe, but as I've grown older, my KP has become very mild. By finding the right products that work for me, I have been able to reduce the appearance (and annoyance!) of KP.
