Beauty Tips For Body Care
I started seeing an acne specialist and had my first visit today, which includes a facial treatment and peel. So, I didn’t put on makeup to the appointment (seemed excessive, like styling your hair before a cut). I’m also not supposed to put anything on my face post-peel.I spent a bus ride to the clinic and back and a good hour at a cafe afterwards with nothing on my face. I can’t remember the last time I’ve left the house without at least some concealer. I’ve had some level of acne and hyperpigmentation for a decade. I know logically that no one cares what my face looks like, but there’s so many years built up of hating my skin and feeling uncomfortable.Was pretty surprised how okay I was without makeup today. I’m a little hyper aware of how nice everyone else’s skin looks though.I mean, the sub is called SkincareAddiction, but I feel like we don’t talk about the downside of the obsession sometimes. I don’t want to be obsessed with skincare, but I became that way because of insecurity. My skincare goal was always “to feel comfortable without makeup”, but it turns out I am pretty comfortable without it even with the acne. Why was I waiting for the magical time when my skin was “good enough”?I don’t have a super specific question, but I’d love to discuss anyone’s thoughts related to this. Anyone have similar experiences with makeup and bad skin? At what point do you feel your skin is good enough?
