How I cured my bad face breakout *WITH PICS*

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Hi guys. So, I'm going to show you guys the journey I went on from my skin looking to this when it first started breaking out to this to this at its absolute worst. To this currently updated, no filter. Yay. What I used, what I did, and some pictures and my journey. So, let's do this. Hi guys, welcome to the vlog.

[00:00:41]I just got a fresh pedicure. Look. Oh my god, this baby pink is so freaking cute.

[00:00:48]I usually just go for white or white French, but I was like, you know what? I want something like pink, but not too like wow. And like this is perfect. I think I might be like a baby pink toe girl. So cute.

[00:01:04]Hey everyone, how are you guys doing today? Um, I'm feeling emotionally, mentally great. Physically, I'm a little sore still. I started Pilates, but I'm still sore. And it was on Friday. It's Monday.

[00:01:18]Um, I just still have this and I lowkey feel like it's getting worse. Look at that.

[00:01:26]Like I feel like it's getting better here. It's not as red. But this is down here. It's like it's now spreading down here. And I can lowkey feel it. You can see it starting here. It looks scary. I know. When I was in high school, I was diagnosed with a condition. So it was my sister. The same thing. Um itchy red.

[00:01:45]They're not pimples. You can't pop them.

[00:01:48]Um so we were both like at separate dermatologists diagnosed with paradoxal dermatitis. And I have not had a flare up. And for since like high school, I've been like very diligent on my skinincare. But, you know, I thought like it went away. So, I would start using like other products. Like I'd be like, "Oh, I can't use foundation because I have this." Remember like early early pink sparkles days? I'd be like, "I can't use this moisturizer, this because I have a skin condition."

[00:02:14]Well, I think she's came back and I don't know why. I've I've tried changing my laundry detergent.

[00:02:21]We cleaned the whole house. It was before Mexico. So if anyone's like, "Oh, maybe it was something in Mexico." No, it was it was happening before Mexico if you guys remember. But I am going to do what I did back when I was in high school and that was literally just use Cetaphil on my face. So I am going to do that today. I'm going to pick up some Cetaphil. I'm so sorry I look like this.

[00:02:43]But you know what? I also I did stop drinking. So I don't know if maybe this is like detox. Well, it can be because it was happening while I was drinking, right? It makes no sense. So, skin sometimes makes no sense and can be funny and there could be a whole host of different things. I'm just really hoping that it isn't from my eyelashes cuz that's the only thing that like correlates like maybe the chemicals or maybe the misting or you know like anything the washing liquid fluid or something. I'm really hoping it's not that because it was around that time it started. But we will try Cetaphil first and if not then I'm going to have to go to a dermatologist and see what's going on. But you know like it's dry and it's itchy and we're going to hope our girl Cetaphil will help. The first thing on on today's list is getting some stickers.

[00:03:35]I literally I was like I want some stickers from this girl. She was like posting all these lots of stickers and I was like, I need I need. So, I got that one and she sent me a pink one that she hadn't posted yet. I was like, I'll take that one, too. So, I'm going to go grab those right now. It's for journaling. I love journaling. It makes me happy. It really does help my mental health. And then we're going to grab some groceries and I'll show you all the stickers that I got. So, let's go sticker it out and try to be in good spirits because this is the skin. Okay. Um, we're going to try not to think about it. Okay. You know, they say laughter is the best medicine.

[00:04:12]Is it gone?

[00:04:14]Is it gone?

[00:04:16]Just kidding. NOW I LOOK LIKE A PSYCHO.

[00:04:19]OKAY, BYE. Fun fact, as I'm stopped, this used to be one of like the not so nice bars in the city and it closed down. You guys are going to be like, "Oh, it looks really nice." Yeah, because they're renovating it and that's going to be Saskatoon.

[00:04:32]Wait, wait for it. First ever drivethru liquor store.

[00:04:37]That doesn't explain my city.

[00:04:38]>> It was one of the worst ones. Like that's where you would go like after the bar cuz I was the only one open really late or whatever. Like that's like Anyways, that's fun.

[00:04:49]I'm not the good. I got two sticker packs. Oh my god, I can't wait to show you guys them. You guys are going to die. They were $10 each. There's so many in here. My journal is going to be so cute. I'll show you when I get home. But let's go get my skin and some groceries cleared up. Okay, I was just grabbing some mushrooms and I came across these.

[00:05:08]I've never seen anything like this.

[00:05:10]These are broccoli sprouts. Like I've heard of sprouts before, you know, but like broccoli sprouts. There's a deli blend.

[00:05:19]Look at that. And then this is what caught my attention. This mixed bean.

[00:05:24]This is the one I got. It is organic beans. Like they look so interesting.

[00:05:29]Okay, so there's organic lentils, organic peas, organic aduki, and organic garbanzo beans, sprouts. I got this.

[00:05:38]That'd be so sick in a salad or one of my snack trays. And then peashoots. I see these all the time on the Food Network, and I've never seen them in person. Well, let me get my mushrooms.

[00:05:47]Okay, what for lunch? I really want a heat tuna, but I feel like that's super small. So, I am going to get one cut because they have it fresh right here.

[00:05:57]See that? Fresh Agie tuna. Let's get some.

[00:06:04]Perfect. Thank you so much. Thank you.

[00:06:07]Yummy, you guys. That looks a lot better. Delicious. Austin has been looking for this chocolate milk that has protein in it. So, like I got it. So, like I got it for him. Ew, I hate myself. I got some beets. I haven't had beets for a while. My mushrooms, some salads, my ai. I got the dong, apples, lemons, some avocado. I think we did pretty good. Oh, and there's new flavor of sun chips. Honey barbecue. Yummy. I think I'm done. Oh my god, you guys.

[00:06:41]Look at how cute. I don't need them, but look at how cute. Cape ride. Yeah. Oh my god, they have the cherry float. Do they evidence? Yep. Coca-Cola Zero. Look it.

[00:06:53]Cherry float. I need. Yes. Ballerina shoes is sold out everywhere. I keep looking like Walmart. I'm at Shoppers now. It's sold out. I'm just patiently waiting. Okay, let's get this skin right. Maybe I'll change makeup remover wipes, too. Maybe I'll just use baby oil for now. I'm just going to keep it really clean, but I need Cetaphil. I have this right now. So, I think we need to go back to gentle. Yeah, gentle.

[00:07:21]Gentle. Oh, they have makeup remover wipes, too. Oh my goodness. Okay, we might get the trio. Okay, this is what I would use when I did have my breakouts.

[00:07:31]I don't even want to try the little one.

[00:07:32]I'm just going to go straight into the big one. And then I'm going to get one of these moisturizing creams. There's only a couple left, so we're just going to go right into this. This is very dry to normal skin. I wish they had the gentle one. They don't. They have a gentle cleansing bar, but not like for hydration. So, I think I'll just grab this and I should be good. Okay, let's show you guys what I got. Well, the the cool things here are the bean sprout things. The beans. The beans. The organic beans. This is so interesting to put these in a salad or I just kind of want to try them on their own. Let's try them.

[00:08:07]>> Like, I love beans.

[00:08:08]>> Austin would gag. They literally have no smell. Let's try it. A spoon. A fork. I hate how I don't know if it's the camera settings that's or like orangey or if it's the lighting in here. I think it might be the camera settings. After this, I'll play around with the camera settings. But look at all like the different textures in there. To me, that looks amazing. Me being an organic early.

[00:08:33]I feel like that would be a textural nightmare for a lot of people. It's so fresh. It tastes like bean sprouts, but doesn't have the texture of bean sprouts. That's what I hate about bean sprouts. M.

[00:08:44]Oh my god, I love it. It has the texture of beans and like what I mean by so many different kinds of beans.

[00:08:51]>> Like an edomame I would closely relate that to. I love that. I'm obsessed.

[00:08:55]Okay, I got this to put into my matchas.

[00:08:58]A touch of pistachio because I do have a Dubai chocolate. I do have also a dark chocolate syrup. So, I thought I could make like a Dubai chocolate inspired matcha or something like that.

[00:09:08]We're going to try this right now.

[00:09:10]Cherry float. Anything cherry can be very medicinal, but did I get the Coke Zero one? I didn't. Huh? Coca-Cola Zero.

[00:09:20]Look it. I Wait, I'm not drinking it.

[00:09:26]I got the wrong one. It was right in front of me. I'm not drinking it. Okay, I'll try it for you guys.

[00:09:32]Oh my god. What a waste. Cuz nobody in this house just smells It smells like just cherry coke.

[00:09:42]Okay. It's not like medic. It doesn't taste like cherry medicine. Low key is a cherry coke. No. You know what? I do taste a little bit of vanilla. You know what? No, this is good. I screwed up.

[00:09:52]Um, but that's okay. So, I got my double trouble. Well, hopefully double not trouble. Double hell gentle skin cleanser and then some nourishing cream.

[00:10:01]And I opened it to make sure no one poked it or anything like that. It low key is giving OS. I got Oh, the stickers. Let me show you guys the stickers. So, I got two packs of them.

[00:10:14]This, wait, hold on. This is the one that I wanted. These were the awesome holographic motivational stickers. So perfect for my journal. I'll lay them all out. And then the second pack is the pink motivational stickers. Kind of the same thing, but these ones are holographic. These ones aren't. So, when I lay them all out, you'll know which is which. But I'm just going to lay them out. So, here we go. Are you Are you excited, everyone? Get your excitement up. Okay, so here are the holographic ones. I love these. They're so me. This one is my favorite one up here. I will not shrink myself for the comfort of others. I like this. Oh, hey Friday. I love I feel like I would get these as tattoos. Brighter days are coming. Um, where's my other favorite one? Where is she? There's just so many. What is this one? Smile. It looks good on you. Like these are things that I would say. Oh, here it is. Celebrate the little wins with that cake. Like I love that there's coconut. Mondays are for fresh starts.

[00:11:09]Drink water and stay pretty per when I'm I'm vlogging about or um journaling about Pilates. So this set was $10. I think that's okay. That's a pretty good price. If you go to Michaels or something like that, you could get like literally one sticker for like five bucks. So I think this is perfect and I will use them all. So I'm just going to stick these in my sticker drawer. Now on to the pink motivational stickers. Low key, there are Oh, sorry. There are a lot of Taylor Swift ones in here. For example, we've I'm just going to zoom in a bit. They've got the Lover CD, Devils Roll the Dice, Angels Roll Their Eyes.

[00:11:42]We got Cruel Summer. We have the Lover guitar. When I saw this one, I was like I I see a journal page with this on it.

[00:11:49]I love this is my happy place. I love this one here. Um where did she go? Oh, another Taylor one. We never go out of style. To the world, you may be one person, but to me, you are the world. I love that. It's okay to be happy. What is this one? Death by a thousand cuts. I don't know that. Some of these are definitely references. Like this. I do not know. I thought it said New York, but it says Yoyok. I don't know. I don't know what that is. Um, if you know, let me know, please. What is this? Draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man.

[00:12:22]Okay. Love me when I have a cat eye. I just love these. They're so cute. And these were $10 as well. So, I got all these for 20 bucks. I mean, 20 bucks.

[00:12:31]I'm fine spending that on happiness. You know what I mean? That's just me. Um, push yourself to be better. Another grateful one. Oo, this one's so pretty.

[00:12:41]I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings. That's got to be a quote from something. All my Swifties out there. I think he knows.

[00:12:49]I want that lip color.

[00:12:55]Okay, I think I changed. I was messing around with the camera. I hope the sound is okay. This is just a test clip cuz I felt like everything was so orangey toned. I think this is good. Oh my god.

[00:13:10]Also, I washed my face with the Cetaphil stuff and obviously not we're not going to see a dramatic difference right now, but I will tell you one thing. I'm less itchy and less like it almost feels like I like how do you explain that? like when you have a face mask on and you go like this to peel it. That's what my face was feeling like. Very tight feeling. I should have just said tight.

[00:13:32]Um I don't feel that. So, we're doing good. Okay. So, let me take you guys through my journey with my um skin condition breakout. So, basically, since I was a teenager, I've had a skin condition called paridal dermatitis.

[00:13:46]Now, I don't know why I've always called it paradoxal dermatitis. Um I have no idea why. I don't know if there was a shift in the universe or if I was mistaken or if it changed names. I'm just kidding. But I swear it was called paradoxal dermatitis, but that that's not important or relevant here. So, I have been uh breakout free, I would say, for years. My 20s were amazing with skin. I would get compliments on my skin. If you guys follow me from like the beginning of YouTube, you will remember that I didn't even wear foundation because of my skin condition.

[00:14:21]And I only use my special cream for my uh condition. And slowly slowly I was able to wean off of that. Use skin creams, face masks, different makeup and stuff like that. But then all of a sudden it just hit me like a truck a few months ago and it came back with a vengeance. Who knows why? But I would say it was maybe end Februaryish. I don't know why. Maybe it was a combination of stress or just hormonal changes. I have no idea. But basically, it came back and it came back with a vengeance. And in March, it was up and down and stuff. And April, it was terrible. Um, there are many pictures here from the past 3 months. At the end of April, that's when I saw my dermatologist and she prescribed pretty much the exact same stuff that I got when I was a teen. And yeah, so my symptoms are basically it is very, first of all, noticeable right on the face. It is itchy. It's dry, flaky, scaly. It hurt. It feels like your skin is very tight. Um, and when you itch it, it hurts. I don't know. It's just I have to be super gentle. Wash my pillowcases at least three times a week. Uh, change my towels often. Just be very, very clean on my skin, but there's no reason as to why it broke out or why it didn't. So, I'm glad that I could just see my family doctor because if it was something that she couldn't help with, then she would have referred me to a specialist. But let me show you what the worst day looked like versus today. Showing you guys this and how dramatic of a difference it is and how uh my doctor's help really helped me and the treatment.

[00:15:58]WOOHOO. OKAY, I went to my family doctor and she prescribed me this cream. You just need a dot of it and I have another refill and I probably will never need even the refill um because of how great this has worked. And this, I think, was the exact cream that I used when I was a teenager, too. And I know it says anti- rosacea, but it could be for a whole host of different um skin and dermatological conditions and stuff like that. It's not just for rosacea, uh before anyone's like, "Oh, you have rosacea." I don't have it. That's what my doctor told me and my dermatologists back in the day because I did see a few of them. And this is what the cream looks like. So, I mean, it helps me and I'm so thankful. It's not quite gone yet, but I'll give it a few more weeks and then I can stop using this and see what happens. Okay, everyone. So, I'm going to end the vlog here. There are so many days lumped up into one. My boob is about to fall out, but we are caught up finally into vlogs. Uh, the pink sparkles, famous words. We are finally caught up on vlogs. I will see you guys in the next one with current stuff. Bye, guys. Thank you so much for watching and being patient as always.
