Beauty Tips For Body Care
This may seem like a dumb post and I will probably end up on circle jerk for this, but I'm not sure where else to talk about this. This will probably get long.I spend so much time on my skin. I think about it constantly. I've been a skin picker for years and skincare has greatly helped curb that issue. For that I am forever grateful.My skin was always my worst nightmare. Bumps all over. Every single pore had stuff hiding below the surface just begging to be picked at. And nothing seemed to help.I finally (with help of this sub) came to the conclusion I had fungal acne. Began to treat it and switched my routine over to fungal friendly. WOW. Everything cleared.That was months ago. I've maintained my routine well since then with little to no swapping out of products.But even when I think my skin is clear. Whenever I go to the mirror, I see things that could be extracted. Little pores of white gunk that could be clearer. Black heads around my nose. Everyday. No matter what.I'm always stuck in this cycle. A blackhead! Quick get the oil cleanser! Small bumps, not today fungus! Quick get the Nizoral! Pores clogged? Not on my watch! To the sulfur mask!Always wondering. Is my moisturizer causing these tiny clogged pores? Is my fungal acne coming back? What am I doing wrong?When I don't pick my face, my skin is clear. Or so it seems. It looks good from a distance. It feels smooth. But upon closer inspection I see hundreds of imperfections.I know no one looks at my face this close. I know it doesn't bother anyone else but me. I know it. I tell myself this. But today, its just not good enough.My question is this: Is there really "perfect skin?" Any derms or professionals here I'd love to here from you on this. Will there ever be a time I can look in the mirror and see zero clogged pores, or really just stuff that can be extracted? Am I actually doing something wrong in my routine if I still am able to extract sebum from certain places on my face? Do women I see with porcelain skin really have skin like mine if I was to look that close? Does anyone have a routine that keeps their face flawless at all times and I just need to keep honing my regimen until I get there?Any input here is welcome. My face and skin has been my obsession for as long as I can remember and I apologize for all the rambling. Sometimes I feel like the mental part gets its grip on me and doesn't let go. I greatly appreciate the support here.
