Hey, I'm Michelle.

Long story short, I have had some type of acne since I was in my early teens, experienced pretty bad cystic acne in my university years, and am now somewhat clear-faced, with quite a bit of texture leftover from the damn experience! To top it off, my previous career working in a very dry environment has drastically 180'd my skin to dehydrated and dry, and I still get hormonal breakouts. Dealing with these skin issues for so long and being keen on researching products before purchase, I thought it was about time to start my own YouTube channel.This is a place for me to document and share my experiences with products I've tried, and I hope it helps you out in some way when it comes to your own concerns. I hope to eventually add more variety of videos in the future, but with the spare time I have, it's all about beauty!

In this saturated market, I hope you find my channel (and blog) helpful.

Thanks for stopping by!

xo, M

It takes more than skincare to achieve and maintain clear, healthy skin. The time has come, I am finally sharing with you all 6 main lifestyle habits I have implemented in my life, that I truly believe have greatly contributed towards clearing my skin! Please remember, YMMV: what works for me, may not work for you. Though I'd like to think majority of these habits would! Hopefully this video offers something different than what's on the internet, and that you enjoy the video in general.

Hey everyone,

I just published on my blog a review of THERAMID AZID 15% Azelaic Acid Treatment!

I haven't used Azelaic Acid since 2019. It was a 15% concentration that could only be found in prescription form like Finacea.

I really liked it at the time - helped with acne, reduce post-acne red marks quickly, left my skin looking bright and even.

When I saw this OTC product, I couldn't help but wonder if it could do something similar?

Review of my entire Niche Beauty Lab Haul will be shared on YouTube. I thought THERAMID AZID deserved a dedicated review first!

Hey everyone,

I reviewed all the other NIOD skincare I tried on my blog
michxmash.com/2022/11/24/review-niod-skincare-sdsm…

I wanted to get this review out before the end of the month so you could still take advantage of DECIEM's Slowvember Sales Event.

I hope it helps you figure out what NIOD skincare product may/may not be worth it for you.

Stay tuned for the video, it should be up next Monday!

Thank you to those who participated in my last poll - Monday will be the new posting day!

This past Monday I shared my body care routine. It's a fairly affordable, 3-step routine I've been doing for years now that helps to prevent back acne (AKA bacne). I also share before and afters of a bad cystic acne breakout I got at the beginning of June and how I cleared it up.

Enjoy the warm weather ☀️

Hey everyone,

Lately my uploading schedule has been random and I want to poll what dates you prefer. I used to upload on Sunday afternoons pretty consistently but have been playing around with random times during the week. Let me know in the poll what uploading day you prefer!

Whatever comes second may be the day where I do a bonus upload - I do have the odd occassion where I have a 2nd video I want to upload :D

The time has finally come - it has been 3 months since my last CO2 Fraxel Laser session. I not only show the before and afters, but also talk about my experience undergoing 3 procedures to improve my old atrophic acne scars.

Hey everyone,

I recently reviewed The Ordinary "Buffet" and "Buffet" + Copper Peptides 1%. I found out when planning this video that they actually are having a 23% off sale until the 23rd! Hopefully my review helps you in deciding whether or not these peptide serums are right for you and your skin needs.

Hey everyone,

Long time no skincare post!

In yesterday's video, I talked about something a lot of us with acne experience and this is my try at diving deeper into the topic. I shared my mental lows when I had bad acne and the mindsets that helped me get into a better headspace.

When it comes to clear skin, I truly believe it starts with a clear mind.
