Creative make-up vlogger shares secret tip to getting rid of her pimples

Many of us enjoy watching beauty vloggers work their magic and transform themselves into our favorite celebrities and cartoon characters but, sometimes, all that makeup can take a toll on our skin.

In an episode of GMA Public Affairs "Dapat Alam Mo," YouTube star Letisha Velasco said putting on lots of makeup on a daily basis for her videos has caused her to have massive breakouts.

"Kapag nagmake-up [ako], 'yun talaga. Kinabukasan, asahan mo na may tigyawat ka kasi nga medyo madami 'yung nilagay mo," she said.

"Sa hormonal imbalance daw po, kasi nga nasosobrahan daw yung hormones [na pang-lalaki]… kaya imbes na maging glowy at maging [makinis ako], parang lumalabas yung oiliness, yung mga acne ko, ganyan and puyat na rin po and sa kinakain din."

She tried several treatments to get rid of them, but Letisha knew the best thing yo do was change her lifestyle.

One day, she decided to give herself a "make-up" break.

"Dati, talagang araw-araw akong nagva-vlog, araw-araw akong nagme-makeup [pero] naisip ko na 'What if alagaan ko din naman 'yung sarili ko?'" she said.

"Naisip ko, 'Hindi lang [dapat] 'yung ibang tao 'yung pinapasaya ko, dapat yung sarili ko din alagaan ko din',"

Breakouts can be stressful, but Letisha wants everyone to know that she got over it by loving and believing in herself.

"Umiiyak pa nga ako minsan, kasi syempre parang sama-sama na lang ang stress ko nakidagdag pa to, wag na lang nating pansinin,"

"Matulog kayo nang maaga, eat healthy, basta alagaan lang natin ang sarili natin."

Letisha Velasco, also known as "Leti Sha" on YouTube, has wowed many with her inspiring make-up transformation videos where she transforms herself into celebrities like Ariana Grande and Jennie of Blackpink, as well as fictional characters like Princess Anna and Moana.

The beauty vlogger and creative make-up also has a "road to kinis" serye which reached up to 1.5 million views on YouTube. — Margaret Claire Layug/LA, GMA News
