Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'll try and keep this long story short...I posted a thread about 4 months ago on how I fell into a very toxic cycle of work related stress, social anxiety, skincare issues and OCD related compulsive picking. Because of this, I probably left my house 2 or 3 times for social interaction in 6 months other than normal life related things.Growing up I had little acne but later in my teenage years I started gaining some more frequently. I'm a pretty vain person so I decided to get on benzaclin & differin for about a year or so to help. My skin was amazing and I was really happy! I stopped out of habit and slowly my skin got worse. I wasn't educated on skin care products or skin care best practices so as it got worse, I made it even more worse.It wasn't until January of this year till skin related issues took control of my life and mental peace of mind however. I am self employed and currently building a startup but I also have been dealing with a lot of other things. All of this stress manifested into negative habits like avoiding social interaction, picking at my skin, etc. I finally came to a point after reading SCA to turn my life around and pursue fixing my skin.So when I thought things would get better, they actually didn't. Starting in March, I began the Acne.org treatment thinking it would be of help, I was wrong. It drastically changed my skin and did way more harm than good. This put me back into a very bad state.When I finally realized that the Acne.org treatment wasn't for me, I decided that focusing on moisturizing was key before I tried anything else. I stopped the Acne.org treatment and only moisturized and used a light cleanser for a month.Now we're here... I decided to give Differin another try, and I should have from the start. I also should have just gone to a dermatologist but my CSP didn't allow me to go out of fear.So guess what?! I've only been on Differin for a week & 1/2 and my skin looks so much better than it has before! I can finally smile in the mirror for once and I have so much more hope! I just pray that my skin doesn't purge because the first time I was on Differin I didn't purge.I really wanted to make this post to just say have hope and keep fighting, do NOT let your mind and skin take control of your life. You're stronger than that.(but I also wanted to say moisture is key and Differin is amazing ;) no I'm not endorsed by them lol)
