Hey guys!! My name's Yaslin I'm Tainas Daughter and today I'll be taking over the Blog :) 

Today I'll be talking (writing hehe) about my struggle with acne

Ever since I can remember I’ve always had problems with my skin. During my early teens, I would get pimples in my forehead which made me feel like I was growing little horns. Then during my later teenage years, my forehead was filled with little bumps that would not go away no matter how much I tried. Finally my last two years of high school my face was completely clear I could go out and not be self-conscious about what people thought, and I was happy. 

But then I started working in fast food and everything went downhill. I would get pimples in my cheeks, something that hadn’t happened before. I wanted to hide my face and started using makeup which made my pores more clogged. It was a struggle between choosing to go out and let everyone see me without makeup and using makeup and making my face worse. I didn’t want to go out and face the world bare-faced so I started going to the dermatologist. After about two months my face was pimple free, unfortunately, I was left with hyperpigmentation. 

I tried everything; face masks, bleaching Creams, toners, and nothing worked. But one day I came across Banish and I decided to give it a chance. Nothing had worked as well as the Banish derma-roller, it made my hyperpigmentation lighter and my scars less visible. I was amazed by the results. The way a derma-roller work is by creating micro tears into your skin which tricks your skin into creating collagen. 

Every two weeks during the night time after I shower I soak the derma-roller in alcohol for about five minutes while in the meantime I clean my face with toner. After the two minutes have passed I begin derma-rolling by gently pressing it against my skin. It can be moved in either direction as long as you are lifting it off before every roll. after rolling it five to seven times I apply vitamin C serum or Rose-hip Oil. After I am finished using my derma - roller I soak it again for about 5 minutes and let it dry before putting it back in its packaging. 

As a college student, I am saving my own money to buy my products and I truly believe that everything I’ve spent on Banish products has been worth it.

Back in October, I've shared with you how U by Kotex and the Alliance of Period Supplies were helping women in need by donating two product for every purchase made through Walmart in-store or online, and the most amazing part was Walmart was donating $25,000 to the Alliance for Period Supplies. 

The main objective of this campaign was to build awareness of this issue. It's unbelievable that 1 in 4 women have struggled to purchase period supplies products in the past year due to lack of income. 

I am glad to say that thanks to your help and the amazing help of U by Kotex® and Walmart - 5 Million Period Products to women in need and  $25K to the Alliance of Period Supplies has been donated. HOW AWESOME IS THAT! 👍💕

As a THANK YOU for your amazing response to this wonderful campaign, you can now take advantage of the Motrin +UbK Ibotta offer.

What's Ibotta?

Ibotta is a smart new way to earn cash when you shop. It's better than coupons - giving you cash back offers at your favorite grocery and retail stores.

But wait. The campaign isn't over! 

You can still support this cause and women in need.  When you buy period supplies for yourself U by Kotex will donate 2 products.

Every woman at some time of age begins their periods. But did you know, 1 in 4 women have struggled to purchase period supplies products in the past year due to lack of income.

Can you imagine that something so basic and so essential for every woman is something that many women are struggling with? It's so sad that these women in need are affected in their daily routines by a product so basic that we should all be able to have at hand.

This is a product that we don't give much importance to and we don't realize that many women do not have this benefit. 

That's why something has to change ! And today you and I have the opportunity to help.

I am glad to partner with U by Kotex® the founding sponsor of The Alliance for Period Supplies. This new national organization that was founded in May 2018, is helping to ensure that individuals in need have access to essential period products required to participate fully in daily life. 

Their mission is to raise awareness of the millions of women living in poverty who miss out on daily life because they lack access to period supplies.
