Ever since I entered adolescence, I’ve struggled with dark spots and hyper pigmentation. It seems like every single pimple I’ve ever had left a scar. In the past few years I thought I had gotten it under control, but my latent skin issues reared their ugly head once again. This time in the form of a terrible breakout on my right cheek. The active acne is starting to clear up, but my acne scars are a painful reminder.
Enter 1 Tone Beauty- A skincare line based here in NYC that focuses on clearing hyper pigmentation. I met with the one of the co-founders and she explained the whole skincare line to me and was generous enough to gift me a few items to try out. So far, I’ve been using the 1 TONE Face & Body Bar Soap every day. It leaves my skin feeling super clean and I feel like I’m already starting to see the dark spots fade a bit. I’ll update this post with before and after photos once there’s a visible difference.
Once a week I like to alternate between the 1 TONE Rice Flour, Raw Honey Brightening Mask and the 1 TONE Green Papaya, Pineapple Enzyme, B3, Exfoliating Cream Mask. Both masks are amazing, but I’m partial to the Brightening Mask. I used it before a photo shoot and my skin was absolutely radiant. It has a granular texture, but it’s not too rough. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for your skin after a night out or a long-haul flight.
The ongoing battle against my acne scars and hyper pigmentation continues, but I feel confident and optimistic about the future of my skin now that I’m equipped with the right products.
