Blume meltdown reviews2/11/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() I feel like so many people can relate because a lot of us had front bangs or side bangs." Definitely keeping my hair out of my face as much as possible and tying it up and letting my skin breathe is a big one that I wish I learned earlier. I learned later on that hair is a big cause of acne. I had really thick front bangs for a few years, and then I had really thick side-sweeping bangs. With my acne journey, I kind of always thought, 'Oh, when my acne is gone, then I'll feel more like myself again.' So that's also why one of the things we say at Blume is we use the wording 'naturally brave.' What we mean by that is feeling brave as you are in your real skin despite the days that you have spots and blemishes.īunny: "I think if I had to go back and give my teenage self advice, it would be not to have bangs glued to my forehead and hair covering my whole face and to tie it up when I went to sleep. I was a pretty confident kid, even though I was super nerdy, I always had glasses, and acne is probably the one thing that hurt my confidence. A big thing that I did is probably overexfoliating and using things that were just way too strong. I definitely just tried too many harsh products. Very similar to Bunny, I think it was something that I feel like we all kind of went through as teenagers. Taran: "I relate to so much of it because we both did the toothpaste thing. Then, I started seeing an improvement on my skin, and now I tend to break out generally around my period or when I make the mistake of going to sleep with my makeup on." It wasn't until I turned 20 years old, when I started venturing into clean beauty and actually understanding what my skin needs and what were the things that work for me personally. I didn't understand at that time that acne needs to heal. The treatments that I did on my acne made the situation worse rather than better. Toothpaste is the number one thing that our dad told us to use, and we used it for a really long time. I always resorted to really harsh treatments for my acne. I was also a picker, so I still have a ton of scarring and discoloration from that. I definitely had forehead and cheek acne.

Even though I couldn't have this brand as a teen, I'm so glad that Blume is there for the rest of my life, as well as the younger generations. Luckily, I spoke with Taran and Bunny Ghatrora to discuss it all. Growing up, I wish I'd had a brand like Blume to provide me with everything I need to get through the bells and whistles of all things puberty and beyond. The Ghatroras are on a mission to destigmatize women's health, encourage self-love while redefining self-care, and shift the narrative from perfect skin to healthy skin. They wanted to create a space where people of all backgrounds felt seen and normal - especially when discussing things like acne, puberty, periods, and sex ed. Blume and its founders, Taran and Bunny Ghatrora, set out to do exactly that.Īfter questioning why the world treats periods and women's health like taboo topics, the sisters created Blume to provide clean solutions for all things self-care. Although I wished someone would have just sat me down and openly talked about what puberty entails for young women, I wanted to feel less alone in my journey. Once I figured out what worked for me, I felt like I had some sort of control over my acne and my health. Of course, that came with years of trial and error, trying out treatments and prescriptions, and going to aestheticians and doctors. It took me a while to figure out that my acne was connected to my hormones and puberty. As the only one in my social circles who faced frequent breakouts, I felt out of place. I have dealt with acne for as long as I can remember, and as the years went by, it only got worse.
