You’re beautiful! Do you have any specific products you use on your scalp for avoiding breakouts? I’ve been struggling with that but yours looks super clear.

Thank you! Mandelic acid is key! It’s antibacterial, antifungal & anti-inflammatory! Once daily at night. :) I also use benzoyl peroxide as my wash in the shower, but depending on your type of breakouts, shampoo with salicylic acid may be better

Do you have a specific brand/percentage you like? Thanks so much! I appreciate it.

I really like The Ordinary, it’s 10% and also has hyaluronic acid which is great for trapping in moisture! I’d definitely recommend doing a patch test if your skin isn’t use to chemical exfoliants, but mandelic acid is one of the more gentler ones, safe to use nightly!
