Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'm in my 30's and I still have really bad acne. Sometimes my face is clear, but when I develop a pimple, it is BAD: cystic, raised, brutally red, and takes months to go down - and then it leaves a bright red mark in its wake. You know the type. I am working with a dermatologist and have a plan in place, but there is some acne that has been on my face for literally years.No one else I know in my age range has skin like mine. All of my friends and coworkers are acne-free so I feel particularly embarrassed about my condition.I know that supposedly people don't notice acne or whatever, but honestly there's no way you could miss my blemishes, even when they're covered up. Because of this, I plan meet-ups with friends around my skin and I never go out when it's really bad. I'm thinking of calling in sick to work too.I know this is unhealthy behavior and I want to stop it. I want to care less about my skin and more about important issues beyond me. But looking in the mirror often reduces me to tears. I have so much shame - and self hatred- that comes from my blemished skin. And it feels all-consuming.If anyone else out there has felt down about their skin and wants to commiserate, I'm all ears. Or if you have advice for me about how to stop ruminating about my bad skin and think of other things, I would appreciate that very much too.
