Beauty Tips For Body Care
Acne sufferer here, and I'm sure those in a similar situation know what I'm talking about-- using layers of makeup to cover up your spots, yet still nothing can take away from the raised and swollen bumps on your face, and worrying/thinking about how everyone can tell what a mess your face is, especially as a no-longer teenager.After a couple of years enjoying clear skin under a derm's care, my acne has resurfaced the past few months, and in painful, swollen cysts. I am now in the waiting period to get on Accutane. In the meanwhile, I'm trying to not do what I did the last time my acne was bad: shut myself up in my room, turning down opportunities with friends, and too afraid to take on life because of my skin. I feel self-conscious, but I don't want to look back and regret missing out.So a mantra I've been keeping close to mind is that I'm more than my skin. Having good skin won't add to my self-worth, just like having bad skin doesn't take it away. Don't get me wrong-- skin is important, and it's important to have the right care-- but I shouldn't beat myself up and constantly agonize over it.So here's to those in a similar situation-- you are more than your skin. You are beautiful and you have worth.Cheers to our skincare journeys, hoping that with time, the right medical advice, and the proper tools, we'll be closer to healthier skin!
