It happens to the best of us: we try a #skincare product, and we get a reaction because of it. The types of reactions you can get vary, but I specifically got allergic #contactdermatitis in the form of #photocontactdermatitis. Being an allergic reaction, my skin was irritated, itchy, splotchy, and puffy, and as a result there’s specific ways of treating it: a LOT of TLC, being gentle with your skin, and nourishing and protecting it. To see what exactly I used and my reasoning for it, check out the video!
***I’m in NO WAY a doctor or esthetician, nothing in this video is me prescribing a product or ingredient as a cure. These are what I used in my situation and my reasons why, based on my own skin concerns and skin type, and my experience and research with products. I ain’t looking for no lawsuits. If your condition is SEVERE severe or persistent, please seek medical attention!

This channel is pro-Black, pro-BLM, pro-Black Queer + Trans Folk. Black lives matter all day, every day. Below are a list of several organizations you can donate to, much like my team and I have, to help fund bail for protesters who’ve been arrested, as well as several Black-run, Black Women-run, and Black queer -run organizations doing amazing work for their communities. Please donate if you’re able to, share, and leave any other organizations you personally support in the comments below as well! Remember, even if you’re physically unable to protest, you can still donate, sign petitions, and educate your friends and family to call out systematic and interpersonal racism and demand justice for the Black community. Also, please take this time to support Black-owned businesses in your area and across the U.S.
