How I Finally Cleared My Skin After 13 Years of Acne

About me
Over the years, I’ve spent thousands of dollars on dermatologists, prescriptions, chemical treatments, facials, and trending products. Some gave me temporary relief. Most made things worse. And no matter what, the acne always came back.
Eventually, I reached a breaking point. I was tired of chasing quick fixes and covering my face with products I couldn’t pronounce. So last year, I did something different: I stopped everything.
I made a promise to myself to get to the root of the problem. I started researching what it really means to be healthy—not just on the surface, but from the inside out.
Here’s what I changed:
I removed all harsh, chemical-laden products from my skincare routine.
I installed a water filter in my shower to reduce skin-damaging chlorine and heavy metals.
I simplified my skincare: only clean, natural ingredients like beef tallow, clay masks, and natural oils.
I started eating whole, unprocessed foods—no seed oils, no refined sugar.
I created a consistent nightly routine using tools like the dermaroller and natural moisturizers.
And most importantly, I stayed consistent.
None of this was easy. It required discipline, a lot of trial and error, and patience. But it worked.
My skin today is healthier than it has ever been—not just clear, but strong, balanced, and resilient. I no longer chase the latest trend. I don’t rely on medications. I use ingredients that I trust, and that my body recognizes.
This website, SkincareBrief.com, is my way of sharing what I’ve learned. If you’re tired of harsh treatments and want real, lasting change, I hope this helps guide you.
I’m not a doctor or a brand. I’m just someone who figured out what works—and it all started with going back to basics.
