[Personal] I want to stop taking birth control. But I'm really worried about my skin.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I am 17 years old and I have been taking birth control (Diane 35, oestrogen-progestogen combo, anti-androgenic) since nine months now, mainly against my hairiness and acne. Before I discovered this subreddit I thought the only solution for my skin concerns (which weren't even that bad, tbh) would be birth control and yes, it completely got rid of my acne. And when I established my current skin care routine (double cleanse, tone, essence, 10% lactic acid, 23% vit c suspension, moisturising and sunscreen every day) I noticed how glowy, healthy and even more supple my skin got. But I don't see the point of taking birth control anymore, since I'm not sexually active and especially since understood the meaning of proper skincare. So I've quit smoking and stocked up on evening primrose capsules, spearmint tea and cosrx pimple patches. I really am scared of "losing" my skin because of how much I love it right now. I'm planning on finishing my packet right now, so I want to be off birth control in 2 1/2 months.Has anyone experienced the same kind of problem I'm facing right now? I know I'm kind of making a big deal out of it, but for me, my skin is directly tied to my confidence. I'd really appreciate some advice.
