    Seeing the criminal on your chin reminds me that I'm almost glad I have rosacea. When my derm doc told me about all the things I could no longer have or do, I was sad at first. So now it seems my skincare routine has become rather boring, but I use the same simple products, read labels obsessively, and can say I've not had a breakout of any kind in several years. I'm 62, so hopefully hormones are completely stable - or absent - after thirty years of a dark scary ride with PCOS. I'm a happy camper, and I look like my mom did at the same age, which ain't too bad! Love your videos! Your explanations are wonderful, and my cats love my makeup routine too!
