THE END OF A BEAUTIFUL SUMMER

 Summer started very badly for me : the acne, some other little issues...I was very pessimistic about my holidays. Indeed I've decided to go to Sri Lanka and was scared that it would turn into a complete nightmare.vBut I was WRONG, it turned out beautifully....

Let me share the main highlights :

WEEK 1 : My friend's wedding 💍

I didn't know what to wear this so I bought this satin barbie pink dress. I loved it, got a lot of compliments but I won't wear it again since I'm unconfortable showing off my shoulders lol.

It was very nice,  I made a lot of friends that same night, I really had a good time.

BRUNCH at Lighthouse Colombo 

The next day, I got invited to a brunch near the beach. I was really fun. I made a lot of new friends in a dream landscape as you can see 😍

WEEK 2 : A good relaxing moment at Jetwing Blue

I went for dinner with my neighbors at this restaurant near the beach. I was so beautiful and delicious !

Saw my longtime friends after years. I was really cool 🙂

WEEK 3 : Horton's plains

We went on a 4 hours ride. It was a little bit tricky and tiring but I worth it, so many beautiful views 😍

And I end the night with a yummy room service dinner.

It made my day !

WEEK 4 : Colombo baby

It was the most awaited moment cause since I live in the countryside, going to the big city is such a thing for me. It was super nice and I got to go clubbing with the friends I made at the wedding ! 

That was my look. I kept it simple cause I don't like wearing too much makeup in hot countries. Got a lot of compliments and the vibe of the night was so good 💖
I met the sweatest girls and had such a fun night !

To conclude, It was a beautiful beautiful, relaxing holidays...I didn't have such a good time inYEARS. I just realize the importance of a good holidays. We need some time somewhere else, we need to get out of the work routine. It feels so good now...I am now back in France...with a peaceful state of mind...Almost sad to get back to work...but hey to taste a good holiday, you have to work hard first right 😜

I will get back to blogging often now cause I enjoy it and in a few years, I wanna read all this again to remember that life is good 😌

SKIN PROBLEMS

I've been stuggling with acne MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE GUYS Let me explain to you : Got my first breakouts when I was 15. I went to the dermatologist who put me on local treatments first. I got some few results but it never made my acne disappear for ever. He then put me on antibiotics, got my skin clean for months but once I stopped the treatment, acne got back 😅 So there wasn't really a permanent solution for my skin. Then by 21, I got that hormonal treatment called ANDROCUR This was the ONE for me...treated my hormonal acne for a good 9 years...my skin was acne free :

It was a REAL pleasure to put makeup on, I didn't need to treat and I just had to take the pill everyday. Everything was fine until when I got a letter one day saying that some researches has proven that ANDROCUR could give me BRAIN CANCER 😱 So obviously, I immediatly stopped the treatment and got a brain scan. Thank god, I didn't have anything 🙏🏼 After that, unfortunatly little by little, my acne come back 😭 it was really bad, especially being an adult and going through this again... So I went to my dermatologist again and he prescribed be ACUTANE...And let me tell you : BIGGEST mistake The side effects such as dryness, suden acne irruptions...were aweful...it would have been okay if it actually worked on me ! But after a year after I stopped the treatment, my acne come back guys 😭 I felt sooo bad... Of course doing a second round is possible but I don't have the strenght to go through it again... So I try to handle it with my own researches using the following products :

1. Sérum périodique by TYPOLOGY 

Every week you apply a different serum, it supposed to balance hormonal acne.

Felt like it worked 

2. THE ORDINARY Moisturising cream + CERAVE Eye Cream

This combo applied daily didn't break me out

THE ORDINARY Serums : Nacinamide & Peeling serum

Nacinamide helped with small spots and the peeling serum dried the spots 

This routine worked perfectly for me. I had some spots from time to time but nothing too crazy, the products did help. Everything was fine until I started working out...

Indeed, around april, I've decided to run 4 times a week to be shape. I got some nice results but at a cost: The sweat broke me out guys ! 

This is what my skin looked like :

That's bad right ? Not only I got acne, but i got left with very bad dark stains that takes forever to disappear.

I didn't go out for months cause I was very insecure. I tried to keep my routine but I didn't work.

I've decided to go to the doctor and ask for help, something temporary.

I got some antibiotics prescribed for a year : DOXYLINE

I know I'm not trying to solve the issue naturaly but I need to get my smooth skin back and feel confident again. It's really going to help me.Once everything will be fine, I will try some natural remedies.

I will keep you updated regarding the results.
