Ah, skincare. I never imagined that it was going to be something I’d be doing for my whole life. I remember being 14 and thinking, “When I turn 18, my acne will just go away! I can’t wait to be an adult!”
Unfortunately, that was not the case.
Who knew that at age 25, I would still be on the hunt for a miracle product that would regulate oiliness, even out red patches, and make those pesky pimples disappear overnight.

I regret to inform you that such a product sadly does not exist.
Now, I haven’t tried every skincare product in existence in order to come to this astute conclusion. I’ve simply tried enough to realise that if there was a miracle product, I probably would have found it by now because literally everyone would be shouting about it from the rooftops.
The thing about all those slick, shiny ads that pop up on social media is that they cannot possibly be real. I recently read a brilliant article by plus-size model Sarah Kelly discussing the experience of not recognising herself in photoshoots after all the editing. I know that it’s a very different scenario, but I can only imagine that the same kind of editing happens to the fresh-faced, dewy models on my Facebook feed swiping clay masks onto already flawless skin.
