[Personal] I stopped covering my scars and acne

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I had good skin as a teen, no horrible breakouts or texture issues. In my later teens, I had mild acne on my cheekbones and chin, and to this day I get the occasional breakout on my chin (tretinoin did wonders for reducing the time and amount!).Where I struggle is PIE and scarring. I am very pale and a pimple or sore or cut even appearing will give me a mark that lasts for months and months. I used concealer and BB cream religiously, and colour correcter never gave me an even base to work with. Around August last year, I unconsciously abandoned everything aside from eye makeup.I got some well meaning advice from people to wash my face, use this or that due to a nasty, painful cystic acne outbreak. But after that, I got on tret and the major outbreaks stopped. My face still has bright pink spots and my chin is a semi-permanent shade of pink.But nobody cares. I didn't stop getting positive attention, nobody stares at me, my boyfriend didn't and doesn't notice. I'm not getting makeup on my clothes. It's less time staring in the mirror to blend my makeup, less to carry around. Thankfully I don't have overly critical people in my life who would make comments about my lack of makeup or red spots.I wouldn't say it's confidence or acceptance. I don't care anymore is more like it? If someone is staring at my face, they need to look at theirs.
