@Annie Tomlin Thanks, Annie!

@Heather3219716 Thanks for the comment! Getting enough rest definitely helps. My skin doesn't always break out when I'm overly tired, but it looks dull at the very least. Hope this story helped!

@Sadhie Wishing you luck! Definitely helps to go gentle on the skin. Like you, I kept bombarding my skin with products, but now I have a ridiculously simple regimen — and my skin is rarely angry. Good luck!
