For SPF that fades dark spots, they recommended "Anessa Perfect Milk, Biore UV Oil Control Base, [and] Ultrasun Tinted Ivory."

LOOKING LIKE A SNACK

The beauty fan admitted that by the end of their regimen, they look a bit on the shinier side.

They said this is due to the most important step of their routine — hydration.

"Keeping the skin moist will help in healing, especially when using actives," they said.

"Actives" refer to active ingredients, such as retinols.

"I always load up moisturizer — and a thicker one at night," the beauty fan added.
