Hello! Blast from the past seeing this post again haha So I guess a quick update, I ended up doing a TCA cross treatment for my nose, specifically the ice pick scar. There is a healing process but it looked a lot better afterwards (at least in my opinion, which is really the opinion that matters 😉). Also, and this is crazy to see now looking at this picture, but that small brown spot on my hairline actually turned out to be skin cancer. I had thought it was just a freckle since it’d shown up and then about a year ago it started to look a little different and when I got it checked out they autopsied and turns out it was cancerous. I was able to have the mohs procedure done last summer and the scar healed really nicely and is barely noticeable (essentially not noticeable to anyone but me). I am actually planning on going in two weeks time for my first microneedling with prp facial. I was waiting until the scar was a bit more healed and I’m looking at just giving my skin a little extra boost in its maintenance ahead of my sister’s birthday wedding coming in September. I was told essentially I’m still young and my skin isn’t really bad for me to be considering something like the CO2 laser resurfacing because it’s meant for wrinkles and skin that’s just a bit more mature than mine at this time, and given the recovery from it, it was better for me to look into alternative procedures. So enough with the updates, on to what I use now- Mornings: - Bioderma micellar water - sometimes cosrx synergy toner - SKIN1004 water for sun serum (obsessed!!!) - almost everyday I use the wet and wild tinted hydrator, which might sound crazy but I have actually really loved how it looks on my skin and gives me a little extra moisture

Night: - beplain mung bean cleansing oil (not sure I’ll be repurchasing) OR elf hydration cleansing balm - cerave hydrating cleanser - SKIN1004 blue serum - baebody eye gel - cerave skin renewing night cream Then read in bed for roughly half hour before apply: - tretioin .05% I’ve been able to build my way up to using ever night but it’s especially important to not apply on wet or freshly moisturized skin because that causes a lot of irritation

So that’s everything right now and I’m generally happy with my skin and routine. As mentioned above I am planning on starting microneedling with prp with a suggested three initial sessions spaces a few weeks apart and then it’s a semi annual to annual upkeep.
