My skin is normally very dry, dry patches, peeling skin especially in the winter. I struggled with really bad hormonal and cystic acne from the ages of 13 to 17. As a poc I tend to develop a lot of hyperpigmentation and scar very easily. It also takes a very long time to get rid of my scarring. Because of hormonal fluctuations caused by my PCOS my skin also fluctuates throughout my cycle. I struggle with dullness and my skin can sometimes tend to look pale due to my anemia. But after a lot of trial and error I think I've found a basic routine that works for my skin atm. That may change in the future as I try out more products and also as the weather changes I may swap out my more heavier products for lighter and more refreshing ones. Thanks to this routine I have no more dry patches. My skin is soft and bouncy and has a nice dewy glow to it alhamduliah. My acne is 90% under control but I do get the occasional breakout here and there especially after I finish my period.

Only use this when my skin is dry or dull. If the weather is hot or humid I tend to skip this since it's on the heavier and more oilier side. As it's winter atm I use it daily.
