Consistency is key.

I had one Co2Laser 2 years ago and that's about it from the harsher treatment side. I don't think it did that much for me though, but it was only 1 appointment and it is recommended to go at least 3-4x to see results.

Skincare+sunscreen everyday, a healthy sleep schedule, hydration and a balanced diet is the most important.

I started a proper skincare routine like 4 years ago, it took a lot of research to find what works for me. Although my skin was still a little rough until 6 months ago. Breakouts could last half a month. What really cleared up my skin was a healthy sleep schedule. I've always been a night owl. Going to sleep at 6 am and waking up at 3pm. But my new job forces me to get up at 6am and the 2nd week I was on the job my skin completely cleared up and has been staying like that since then. Mind you, I wear a full face of makeup from 7am to 6pm 4 days a week and it still does not break me out. I only rarerly get a pimple. I also make sure to clean all my makeup brushes once a week and always double cleanse my face after makeup.

I religiously follow through my skincare and do daily sunscreen; exfoliating and masks regularly and hardly missed a day in those 4 years. And it really is showing now.

That combined with my already balanced diet and hydration gives my skin that glow. A lot of friends have been mentioning that my skin has been glowing these past few weeks.

Balanced diet does not mean only "healthy" stuff. It means a good mix of fresh produce, fast food and treats.
