Beauty Tips For Body Care
Just a little background info, I'm a 17 year old guy from Canada who lurks here once in a while, and I'm very sociable and open about a lot of things. I'm also very confident, and I don't think I'm ugly by any means. More importantly, I'm all for, and I gather everyone else here is too, beautiful and blemishless skin.However, I unfortunately wasn't blessed with this kind of skin. And my skin is something I'm not so open about. Now, just to be clear, my facial acne isn't my biggest concern, or even a concern at all for that matter, since I barely have any. I did when I was younger, like 12/13, but after I started using Oxy Pads my face cleared up in a month or two.Now, the tables have turned. My face is suddenly clear but my back is nearly DESTROYED with scabs and pimples, and it brings me down every time I wake up to the time I roll over in my sleep.It's bothersome for several reasons, the main one being that it's FUGLY as hell to look at. It's great that I'm in college now and meeting new people, but I know when I get into a committed relationship, I'm going to have to eventually take off my shirt confront my S.O about it, since it's not the least obvious thing in the world.And, of course, I know that for most couples, especially the ones that frequent this sub, skin is isn't the biggest concern when it comes to being in a relationship. In fact, I understand that I shouldn't really pay attention to what others think, especially because I'm really not one to care about things like this if I'm not the "victim".In other words, if my boyfriend had bacne like me, that wouldn't stop me from talking to him. I acknowledge and appreciate the humanity in everyone.Except my own. But of course, that's why I'm here.To start, I'm not completely oblivious about skin care, since I know a few things, but compared to you guys I'm a sad, empty tin can just waiting to be filled.For a long time I was using Oxy Pads and Oxy Face Wash to get rid of my facial acne, and for the most part, it worked. That is, until my face acne stopped. All of a sudden, when my bacne started to get progressively worse, Oxy was not able to tame it and it just got way out of hand. I kept buying it, knowing it wasn't really working anymore, and desperate to find any other products.I next tried Clearasil, and that failed like a burnt ham on Christmas, so I tried Cetaphil. And while Cetaphil makes my skin feel pretty alright, it's not getting rid of any acne, which I heard was a common criticism of the product."Maybe I'm just not doing it right," I thought, and continue to think. But I still use it in desperation like all the other products.And it goes without saying that I'm currently going through a self-improvement phase, physically and mentally, and skincare, along with training and schoolwork, is a great part of this self improvement. I haven't been to a derm yet, since I'm kind of broke and shameful. If it's more than necessary that I need a derm, however, I could stretch my wallet a little and force myself to get one. But starting at home or on the shelves is ideal for me at this time.When I'm at my lowest, feeling depressed, I occasionally do some research on this sub and the rest of the Internet on how to mitigate bacne but that usually leads nowhere. I just keep coming back to Accutane, which I heard is effective, but the process in lengthy and expensive.I hope you can all help me in someway or another on my path to self-fulfilment. I can't bare waking up to a new patch of zits on my shoulders anymore, or falling asleep and picking at it until I bleed and start the cycle over again.Cheers.
