Thanks. I still get affected by it .

hey girl, you really are my inspiration!! I have a long way for my skin to look like yours, but it's my goal. I am so thankful that I came upon your log, and have read it off and on the last 11 months. I've learned sooooo much from you!! Thank you for posting your journey and being so detailed in what worked and what didn't. You really have beautiful skin, and maybe the pinkness is just your natural tone. At least that's just what happens with me. I've looked through your other pics, and there appears to be no hyperpigmentation which is awesome. How did you get rid of it? So do you use a treatment all over to prevent acne? Or just wash and moisturize? You're awesome! I'm eternally grateful for you lol.

Thanks for the kind words. It means a lot. I actually uploaded more recent photos. Be sure to check back for them.

Sorry I haven't been updating and as detailed now, but my skin rarely ever breaks out, so it isn't needed .

Time helped. Don't suggest peels because they can cause irritation, but only if you have sensitive skin like me. Avoid the sun and if you must go in it, use sun screen. I heard it can take 6 months to a year for a hyperpigmentation to fade, so have patience.

Never use medicated face washes anymore. They are too harsh for my skin. Harsh skin can cause acne and other skin issues. I use Bioderma to remove my makeup and only water on a cotton ball to take the sebum off my skin. I try to avoid washing my face if I am just around the house.
