[misc] skin and self esteem

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Sorry if this is just a me thing, but I was wondering how you all kept your self esteem in tact during the troubled skin times?I've had adult acne and eczema, so my skin looked horrible. I was passed up for jobs and relationships during this time. And so much unsolicited advice. I hate selfies and am still bad at posing for pictures. I know it's all filtered and curated, but it stings a bit seeing my friends taking marvelous close ups.Now that my skin has calmed down, I stand taller now and have a lot more confidence, but I get called vain and feel guilty for spending on skincare, even though I'm supporting both my fiancé and my parents.Don't get me wrong, I'm a happy person and proud of who I am and how far my skin has come, but there's a part of me that still wants to hide sometimes. I was hoping we could get a thread of advice on how to maintain perspective going for anyone who needs it :D
