Shared a part of this on threads but writing it on here to commemorate my 2.5 weeks of using the Lemurian set. I was a bit nervous to try this at first since my skin type is oily, acne-prone, and sensitive but I'm blown away at how well my skin has received this whole line. Salamat to Ate Lyn and the magic she imbues into everything she creates.
Background on my skin: I started breaking out consistently around my chin and mouth area as I've been masking since the beginning of Covid. Coupled with my bodily changes, stress from this constructed reality of ours, and an increase of dairy and heating foods in my diet my skin kept getting more inflamed and irritated. At one point I would often wake up with over 15 new pimples or inflamed areas around the lower half of my face. The skin around my mouth and chin was painful and it felt so demoralizing. I tried using numerous skin care lines and supplements to see what could help. Some would work for a little bit but then cause my skin to dry up leading to more irritation.
At the beginning of May I challenged myself to remove dairy from my diet and to eat more foods considered cooling in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Then in the middle of the month I began using the Lemurian skin care line. The combination of all of these changes has led me to feel comfortable in my skin again. Something I haven't felt since 2019. My skin is healing drastically, acne scars are fading, and my complexion is much more even, smooth, and calm. I still get areas of inflammation if I wear a mask for the whole day but it's way more manageable than before.
My current skin care routine: At night, if I'm wearing make-up, I usually double cleanse with grapeseed oil followed by the non-foaming cleanser. To help with my skin cell turnover and oil build up I also incorporate an exfoliating serum in between the peptide serum and moisturizer. I also take my time to let my skin absorb each step of the process.
In the morning I usually just rinse with warm water and then use the peptide serum, exfoliating serum, moisturizer the sunblock.
Feedback: I asked Ate Lyn to make a bigger size of the serum and moisturizer cause I ran through mine so fast but I understand that would increase cost. I'm going to experiment with my next order to see how I can stretch the serum and moisturizer to last a whole month.
Recommendation: If you're oily, acne-prone and have sensitive skin, definitely give this set a try! I absolutely love the non-foaming cleanser with the serum (smells divine) and the alchemizing moisturizer. Each product leaves my skin feeling nourished, balanced, and just so damn good!
