Everything I do to even my skin tone with lasting results

Hello, Gorgeous!

I have had trouble with my hormones and it literally shows on my face. I solved this long ago and it is a constant journey to keep it up. However, I have found a way with years of experience to cut down on products, spending, and significant results with these tools to make your complexion look balanced with the least effort.

Here is everything I do to keep my skin tone even and balanced with lasting results:

The fundamentals

It is imperative to get the essentials out of the way. You cannot put lipstick on a pig and call it day. I notice that no matter how much I use skincare products or a really blended makeup look, my skin will still look uneven if I do not do these powerful moves: 

• Work out – Sweat out the dirt and shower. It helps your hormones function properly.
• Sauna – good for your heart and glow (optional) 
• Eat well – Food is medicine. Get your nutrients and stop eating packaged foods.
• Sleep well – Your hormones will thank you and skin will look more even.

This is the ultimate basis that is simple, extremely doable, and usually free. The only thing here that is not free is sauna (if you do not have one in your home or access as part of an existing gym membership) and food. However, still make decisions wisely. Control where you can.

Working out does not necessarily mean going to the gym. It can simply be getting your steps in walking outside or with 1,001 errands or work. I like to keep a consistent sweat for an hour if I am focused on a workout. This opens up your pores so you can clean them when you shower. You will literally glow.

Evenness on my face appears gradually as I do these things and keep this steady routine. It definitely helps, but you will need extra help outside of this. However, doing these fundamentals will put you leagues ahead in terms of results. 

Frequency: I do these things everyday.

Laneige Cream Skin Toner & Moisturiser

Since I started using this as a lightweight moisturiser for Summer, I tested out my other products in comparison on separate days. This all-in-one product has me amazed at how gentle yet powerful Korean skincare is.

My face looks more balanced versus heavy creams that block my pores and end up generating more dirt, blackheads, and whiteheads on my face. Also, it balances out my complexion quite dramatically making redness go away and relaxes my skin.

It is so simple yet so life-changing. Not only do you cut down on products, but you get the results you want without overspending. I cannot believe how light, easy, and impactful it makes my routine. No more serums, oils, or moisturising creams. Only this.

It is perfect for no makeup days and natural adventures on the beach and hikes. All you need is a good SPF. You will love seeing yourself in the mirror at home during your toilette or simply lounging around the house. 

Frequency: I use this every morning and night. When I shower/wash my face.

Lumecca IPL Photofacial

Originally, I got this years ago and have scheduled a session this coming week. When I initially tried it, my face looked immediately even. I was astounded at the instant results. 

This has moved higher up on my list as I have so many broken capillaries, weird dark patches, and a dark area around my mouth that formed during my start of puberty. It is hormonal and never went away unless I got an IPL laser treatment. 

I vividly remember smiling at myself nonstop in my rearview mirror as I was driving home from the session. Intense makeup will forever be optional.

IPL Lumecca is a high-powered form of Intense Pulsed Light therapy made by InMode that targets pigmentation and redness in the skin.

Here’s what it actually does:

What it treats

Lumecca is best known for clearing:

• Sun damage / dark spots
• Freckles
• Age spots
• Redness (like rosacea or broken capillaries)
• Uneven skin tone

How it works

It sends intense light pulses into your skin that:

• Break up pigment (brown spots)
• Constrict blood vessels (redness)
• Stimulate collagen production

Your body then naturally clears out the damaged pigment over the next 1–2 weeks.

What results look like

• Spots often darken first, then flake off
• Skin looks brighter, clearer, more even
• Many people see results in 1–3 sessions (fewer than traditional IPL)

Why people like Lumecca specifically

Compared to regular IPL:

• Stronger + more precise
• Faster results
• Fewer sessions needed
• Works well on stubborn pigmentation

Downtime

• Minimal (a little redness for a few hours)
• You can usually go back to normal life the same day
• I had no redness and my skin looked even and immaculate. 

Frequency: Results can last up to 1-2 years, but I would get it done once a year to keep on top of my skin looking healthy and radiant.

The ultimate SPF: Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50 by Supergoop!

I feel like I do some felony level yapping on my YouTube channel every time I post a grwm. This is ceaselessly the most formidable item in my everyday arsenal when applying makeup or simply going out for the day.

My skin GLOWS and looks scarily even when applying it, in the midst of using it, and coming home at the end of the day. The reason I notice a difference is because I do not use makeup when I go out before 12pm. 

Frequency: I use this every day I go out in the daytime.
