Beauty Tips For Body Care
We talk a lot on here about products, routines etc. but not so much about the psychological, social aspects of having bad/challenged skin . . .It’s been about a decade since I’ve had truly bad acne, but I’ve noticed that I still have some quirks. When I’m walking around in public and I hear people laughing, I almost always automatically assume they are laughing at me. I have some trouble with eye contact, and I have the hardest time maintaining “natural” eye-contact, because my inclination is always to drop my eyes. Worst of all, I generally consider myself a warm, loving person, but when I think about what I endured in middle school and high school . . . I’m far from my ideal self. I realized that I have a problem when one of the people that was not so nice to me was in a grave accident, and I was vaguely disappointed that he hadn’t died!I had quite painful, severe cystic acne that I tried (and completely failed) to cover up with awful cakey foundation/makeup, and during my worst break outs, strangers would stare at me, people would point etc. It was disfiguring and dehumanizing, and I hated my parents for not letting me see a dermatologist. For all that, I’ve found it easy to still love and forgive my parents, but the people at school who barely knew me, and yet went out of their way to torment me? Nope. I’ve found no redemption for them in my heart, and that troubles me.Anyone else??
