Hello from Alexandria, VA!

A skincare enthusiast who has recently been doing a ton of my own research to determine what skincare products are worth the money, and where I should invest when it comes to skincare. Currently really struggle with hormonal acne around my period, scaring, congestion, and uneven skin tone. Also starting to see signs of fine lines around my eyes and forehead (I’m 28 years old) and really want to keep aging at bay because I refuse to get Botox (haha). Also very interesting in incorporating retinols, but am a beginner, so looking for advice there as well.
