Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi redditors,I am a 25yo female who has had acne since the age of 13. I moved countries 2 years ago, and since then my acne has been the worst it has ever been and just seems to be getting worse. All over my face (especially cheeks and chin and down my neck). Also on my back and chest.I have tried absolutely EVERYTHING in the book and I mean everything. I am on a dairy-free and gluten-free diet (and I love all things dairy and gluten so this was so hard to give up). I take Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Zinc, Circumin, apple cider vinegar, etc.I have tried every skin care product there is and have spent thousands these past few years on the hope that THIS new skincare product will be the one to finally help me. Done all the DIY natural products/masks. Right now I am using the Avene brand but I have really tried every brand, and change every few months once I don't see an improvement from what I am using.I don't wear much makeup because it just seems to clog my pores and make my acne worse, but I am so embarrassed to go outside without makeup. My skin is so oily as well and at the age of 25 I'm just embarrassed. I have the skin of a pubescent 15 year old. It makes it hard to meet people (i.e. significant others), because I just feel ugly.I have seen dermatologists and tried medication (accutane) in the past but I really would prefer a more natural approach and don't like using harsh medication especially since none of it has worked for me.I am losing hope. I kept thinking the older I got it would eventually just get better. And I have searched for what in my new country & environment could be causing it (apart from stress of new language / place) but I have found nothing. Especially at my age, this is something NONE of my peers or the people around me are experiencing, which makes it even harder for me.I know there is not much advice anyone can give me. Everyone's skin is different and there really isn't much anyone can say that I haven't tried. I am just feeling very down at the moment and would appreciate any words of positivity from fellow acne sufferers / people who understand and have been through the same thing / anyone who has cured their acne and can tell me that it will in fact get better some day.I appreciate any kind words. And to all of those who have cured their acne, never ever take for granted how lucky you are and how precious clear skin is!!Thank you all :)
