How To Benefit in More Ways Than One From Banish on National Acne Scar Awareness Day
/
When Banish brand founder, Daisy Jing, discovered her first pimple in the 3rd grade, little did she know how long and arduous her struggle with acne would be and where it would take her. She went through years of dermatologist visits and trying every product known to mankind to which she had no luck. It wasn’t until right before she was about to get laser surgery that she discovered using a certain face tool along with a Vitamin C Serum that would become her lifesaver, thanks to a plastic surgeon’s recommendation. Her skin improved massively and the rest is well…history.
Banish was born on September 25th, 2013, to which Jing and the brand created National Acne Scar Awareness Day, as an effort to promote awareness and create conversations around acne scars, how it affects you mentally and how it beats down your self-confidence. It’s a day to show off that beautiful face of yours no matter what your skin texture is and get the point across to not be ashamed of your acne scars. By having first-hand experience on dealing with the challenges of acne scars and a lower self-confidence in the past, Jing says these things help to get you out of those lower points. “Focus on the positives about what you love about yourself. Try a new hairstyle, a new outfit, new nail color. Zooming out and looking at yourself 360 can get you out of the mindset of 'trying to fix your skin',” says Jing. “Focus on helping others, or random acts of kindness. When you take the focus out of yourself and onto helping others, you realize you're worth so much more than your skin!”
This year, on September 25th, in honor of the brand’s 8 year anniversary on National Acne Scar Awareness Day, they are offering the following discounts:
This acne-fighting and scar recovery prides itself on making natural skincare formulas that are made fresh. Jing explains, “…we create small fresh batches of each product daily, which allows us to use fewer preservatives. It’s the difference between frozen/canned food versus food that is made fresh-to-order”. We recommend starting with the Banish Starter Kit ($195; orig. $263) or purchase individual products such as the 4.5-star Vitamin C. Creme ($49) or the 4.5-star Pumpkin Enzyme Masque ($49) based on your specific skincare need.
