#giftedbyMurad UPDATE ON MY ACNE STORY! So as many of you know I am fighting with acne as a 49 year old woman. It was pretty bad y’all and got worse by the day! I had deep inflamed cystic acne that was super painful. So on January the 9th I decided to quit anything that could be the culprit: sugar, eggs, dairy and ALL SUPPLEMENTS (including protein shakes, collagen powder). Around that time I also stumbled on a thread on reddit about the Vital proteins collagen powder that caused for many women breakouts- especially on the chin area. This is exactly where I have the worst breakouts!

The craziest thing happened after I quit all my supplements! After around 3 weeks the acne moved to my neck and 2 weeks later I had acne on my belly! What? And then it slowly went away- just like that! After 8 weeks I have no cystic acne anymore. I just still have here and there some breakouts- but they are not that deep and inflamed anymore! I feel so relieved! I have re-introduced eggs to my diet and that does not seem to be an issue. So, in case any of you beautiful women also suffers from acne: do you take a collagen peptide powder? If so, this may be the culprit! I believe it was for me! 

A big thanks also to @Murad for sending me these acne products a couple of weeks ago when they heard about my acne story! That was so thoughtful!

So here is my evening skin care routine! I am using Tretinoin  (Retin-A) for about 1.5 years now and I am starting to see some really good changes- especially on my forehead wrinkles: they are getting smoother and less pronounced. I started using Tretinoin every 2-3 nights and slowly worked my way up. Today I can use it every night. I will shed every couple of weeks, but overall I rarely get irritated anymore- sometimes my neck gets irritated. I will then take a little break. Overall I think it is the most powerful ingredient to actually do something against wrinkles. I am using currently 0.05% and I will probably soon switch to 0.1%.

#giftedbyMuradskincare 💚 It’s true! Retinal (short for Retinaldehyde) is 10x more potent than Retinol! The @muradskincare Resurgence Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Treatment contains Retinal that it is encapsulated - so it is 2.5x more effective than free retinal. Powerful, smart aging skin care here! #muradskincare

Here is what I do now for a couple of years to hide my frown line! This is NOT SPONSORED! I BUY THIS STUFF MYSELF!!!
1. Apply a wrinkle patch to smooth my frown line out while I do my makeup
2. Squeeze out the tiniest amount of Dermaflage. Really: the tiniest amount. 
3. Mix it together.
4. Apply a very thin layer right on your frown line.
5. Gently press the purple silicone pad on the skin for about 30 seconds. This will give the skin a skin like texture.
Not gonna lie: the application takes practice! I do this now for years, so I am a pro but even I mess it still sometimes up. Then I just take it off and start all over again. You will need a couple of tries to get it right. Unfortunately you can’t apply any makeup or powder on top of it as it will make it more visible. Sweatproof, waterproof and lasts all day (psst: sometimes I even let it on overnight AND the next day!!!). Cheaper than Botox and I don’t put any toxins in my body! Frugal tip: I buy Dermaflage on Amazon in a 4 pack for $81 (there is a 10% coupon)- so it is $20.25 per tube. One tube lasts me 2-3 months of daily application. Any other questions?
