[Personal] I’m finally going to a dermatologist instead of trying and failing with internet advice and product recommendations.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
After so many failed skincare routines, I’m finally caving and going back to the derm. I’ve tried almost everything under the sun. Nothing worked. No matter how much research I do or how many product recommendations and advice I get, my acne would still be persistent.I don’t know why it took me so long to go back. I managed to heal my bad puberty acne to one or two pimples a month when I went to the dermatologist in my early teens (though it took a few years), and just a little over a year ago my skin was almost clear with just a few light marks. All while following my derm’s routine.But somehow, I hit my 20s and my acne came back strong. My skin is full of PIH/PIE and I always have 3-5 big pimples at a time. I guess this made me distrust my derm for some reason because her routine suddenly failed on me. I had my doubts, too, since it was a topical antibiotic routine and it never changed even after 5+ years. It was so stupid that I didn’t just go back. Instead, I turned to the internet, and thought that the advice I’d get online would help my skin better than my derm could.I’m kind of embarrassed that I would have to admit to her the ridiculous amount of serums and actives and creams I’ve tried like a crazy self-medicating amateur, but I’m going to take the plunge and trust a professional to take care of my skin.Sorry for the long rant, I really just wanted to get this off my chest.
