Beauty Tips For Body Care
I’ve lurked on this sub for a few years after discovering it during a desperate google search in high school to figure out why my chin was breaking out (@ 15 year old me: it’s hormonal!). This community introduced me to the importance of a routine, the harms of using products such as toothpaste and lemons on my skin (I definitely tried both....as ashamed as I am now lol), and a general support system for people like me that were struggling with skin issues.Flash forward a few years, I have a solid routine and am now on birth control. Both have contributed to relatively clear skin, and I now get a lot of positive comments due to the time and effort I put into my personal skincare regimen. However, this past week or so, I started to break out on my cheeks and chin, which is something I haven’t experienced in quite a while.Initially, I was quite upset, as up until this point, I wasn’t really worrying much about my skin due to how well-behaved it has become. I started to stress out and think of all the possible things that I could have done wrong and started to reflect on how I have been feeling lately. I’m currently in the middle of a stressful exam season, dealing with a breakup, getting over a cold, and have been skipping on my usual exercise and indulging in rather unhealthy eating habits due to all of this stress.There’s not much of a point to this other than the fact that sometimes personal factors can influence the way your skin behaves, and sometimes you lose some of the progress you have made. And that’s okay! It’s not something to be afraid of! It is, however, important to keep in mind when you’re stressing out over a breakout. Be gentle on yourself. Don’t get frustrated if you aren’t always making the progress you want to. A pimple is temporary, but the effects of self-care and self-love are long lasting. I hope my little ramble can help encourage others who are feeling the same way. :)
