Hello Lovely Humans!

Today, we’re talking about my annoying friend, ACNE. You know, the total a** hole acne who makes us want to curl up with a face mask on and binge watch an entire season of a Netflix show, while eating a tub of ice cream? Yeah, that friend…

Before I get started, I wanted to tell you a bit about my LENGTHY history with the annoyance that is acne. Let me say, it has been an ONGOING and highly frustrating relationship, over the years.

It all started for me in the 6th grade. While many of the other ladies in my class had clear and shining skin, I was a bit ahead of the game and became a pimply princess around age 12! I remember being so horrified by all the pimples on my face that I would cry to my Mom. And these weren’t just a few pimples… There were many times when I had pimples all over my face!

As I got older and went into high school, my acne THANKFULLY subsided for a good 6 or so years. However, my junior year of college, they started to resurface again out of the blue!! Cue the tears once again. There is nothing worse than feeling like you don’t want to leave the house unless you have so much makeup on that you don’t even look like yourself anymore. And lemme tell you, I’ve been there.

Thankfully, getting my hormones in check has been the real game changer for my skin! If you missed my recent interview with the woman who helped me heal my hormones & in turn heal my acne, check it out here. If you struggle with cystic acne or you feel acne is negatively affecting your life, I highly suggest you get your hormones checked out!

Anyway, after about 6 months of working with my hormone specialist, my acne began to get much better. Fast-forward to today, and I am pimple free (thank goodness) about 95% of the time! This all being said, I absolutely can relate to how much severe acne can affect the way you feel. If you are currently struggling, I feel for you!!

Today, I wanted to share with you a line I’ve found that has been amazing for improving the overall texture of my skin and has helped SO much to heal old acne scars, TULA skincare!

If you are someone who struggles with acne, you know how annoying it can be to not be able to use products that aren’t made for “acne prone skin.” For YEARS I would dream about using a moisturizer that wouldn’t break me out and would help calm old acne scars while healing current blemishes. Voilà, TULA’s line! I started using TULA products about 5 months ago and have honestly been hooked ever since.

Whenever I try a new product on my skin, I’m always VERY hesitant because my skin is so sensitive and can obviously (ugh) be prone to breakouts. With the first wash of TULA’S Purifying Face Cleanser, I was hooked. I’ve found that all of TULA’s products are incredibly balancing and calming to my skin. The minute I put them on my face, I can see my skintone become more even and have really noticed this even skin tone benefit over time!

They’ve helped me immensely to create that “healthy glow” and help me feel confident to go makeup free. All of TULA’S products use “probiotic technology,” which basically help to restore and maintain the perfect balance on the skin. The probiotic technology is exactly what helps to create that radiant “no makeup” glow that we all dream of!

Okay, so before I talk your ear off let’s get into which of TULA’s products I CAN’T live without.

1. Purifying Face Cleanser

This guy is the real MVP. Honestly, it really just brightens the skin from that very first wash. I like to use this stuff every night to remove makeup and brighten up my complexion. If I do happen to have a breakout, OR an acne scar I’m wanting to get rid of, I truly notice that the redness has faded after using this cleanser. It also smells incredible!!!

2. Hydrating Day & Night Cream

I mentioned above going my whole life and wanting to find a luxurious and hydrating cream that DOESN’T clog my pores. Well, this is that cream. Just like the cleanser, this moisturizer REALLY does the job of hydrating and healing acne scars at the same time. If you have oily/ acne prone skin and have struggled finding a moisturizer, this stuff is your new bff. It also feels so luxurious putting it on that I often find myself putting on a second coat, just because it smells so amazing. I have received so many “your skin smells SO good babe” comments from Dylan since I started using this stuff, HA!

3. Exfoliating Treatment Mask

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably see me rocking this bright blue mask very often! It really pairs perfectly with the two products listed above. I love to throw it on after a workout or hot yoga class because it again, calms redness and evens skin tone. What’s really cool about it is that it goes on like a mask and washes off like an exfoliant. It basically does the job of both an exfoliating scrub AND a mask in one! It says to leave it on for 5 mins but I typically leave it on way longer because I love the light feel of it & I’m lazy. (; When you wash the mask off, you scrub in circular motions and it leaves skin incredibly soft.

Some of TULA’s other products that I swear by are the Revitalizing Eye Cream, which I like because it absorbs super quickly compared to other eye creams. I hate when I have to rub an eye cream in forever. This one is creamy and absorbs quickly to brighten around the eye area! I have also recently been using the Pro-Glycolic Gel and the Illuminating Serum. However, my all-time favorites are the products listed above. They are efficient, get the job done, and won’t make us oily skinned gals break out. Amen to that!!

I’m going to be talking about acne a bunch more on this blog to tell you about certain supplements I take along with dietary changes I made to improve skin health. Acne is such a bi*ch and if I can share what’s helped me to possibly help you, I will be a happy gal. I would also love to hear what’s worked for you, acne and skin wise. Let me know what you like as far as skincare, so I can try it!

I recommend trying the “Discovery Kit” because it’s such a good value, and a good way to try the products. 🙂

My final note on these products, is you can still use them if you don’t have oily skin. The interesting thing about the “probiotic technology,” is that it basically “meets your skin where it’s at” and will balance out whatever may be going on with the skin. Whether that’s extra hydration, wrinkle fighting, or calming acne scarring. Cool, right?
