Hi Haley.I'm Michelle and this is my foundation free story.


I learnt about skincare at a very young age like 13. My skin is originally good (not a perfect glass skin but it can be considered good). My skincare routine was simple; cleanse and moisturize.My skin was normal without any pores. Whenever I am stressed, I get pimples here and there occasionally. I watched youtube in my free time and I envied how good the skin of korean girls were. So, I started using everything they used without knowing whether it was good for my skin or not. Later, I found out that my skin barrier was broken due to excessive amount of unnecessary skincare. I started getting fungal acne and my face was always oily and greasy. I never went to school barefaced. When i saw youtubers encouraging foundation free, I was like " well you have good skin". although i wore makeup, people would comment on the texture of my skin and dullness of my skin. I followed all ten steps or korean skincare method and threw in some extra steps sometimes and my acnes still didn't go away. Then I found your channel and Liah Yoo's channel. You had proof about going foundation free and Liah taught me about how simple skincare is better for your skin barrier. So, i started wearing less makeup and people(most of the people) at school commented me on my uneven skin tone and acne. So, I started wearing full-faced makeup again. The thing about people is they are gonna comment whenever they like. so, i screwed their opinion and didn't wear any makeup to school other than lipstick. I went to the  dermatologist regularly and stayed healthy. My skin quality got alot better although i still had fungal acne. I only wear tinted moisturizer now to school and I'm trying to love my skin no matter what. It's a difficult process tbh.

 I'm sorry for my weak english.I hope it's not very complicated. <3
