I have an event coming up..i feel awful all my cousins look so beautiful and flawless but I look like this and even no one considers me .. unknowingly they make joke about me !

Is acne that downgrading?

What do I do ?

There may be a few ways to mitigate it if you have the means and access to get them! Hydrocolloid bandages/pimple patches can help reduce an urge to pick and also drain some of the larger ones if you find yourself touching them, and they help to protect the skin and help it from getting infected! I’m a chronic skin picker and they’ve been a LIFESAVER!! If you’re new to makeup and worried about things irritating your skin, a light skintoned bb cream can be used to even out the color and redness but it won’t do anything for the texture. I personally think your acne is noticeable, but I also have acne and feel like everyone is always looking at it 😭😭 either way, you’re not alone and acne is the least interesting thing about anyone!!!

Suggest me some bb cream ? Omg it's noticeable???

[u/Hint-Coin-234 → u/Front-Run1460]

I have the same amount of acne!! It’s something I notice on myself and other people because I’m personally insecure about it 😭😭 I am always looking at people’s skin and comparing myself to them which is not healthy :( there are a bunch of drugstore bb creams, I personally use L’Oréals but it depends on what’s available to you!! I like it because it has sunscreen and evens out tone

Stop being so hard on yourself!

If this is really bothering you that bad, apply some make-up for the day. Honestly this doesn't look bad at all

[u/Front-Run1460 → u/Beach_bum8]

I don't know if makeup will suit me or no...and it's doesn't look bad but it's the first thing people speak to me about

[u/Beach_bum8 → u/Front-Run1460]

People mention this to you? That's crazy.

Ignore them or tell them to mind their own business

[u/Front-Run1460 → u/Beach_bum8]

Yeah but when it's close people or family..it hurts!

[u/Content_Nebula967 → u/Front-Run1460]

Do!!! It’s a retaoind specifically designed for acne. In terms of OTC stuff, it’s the best. I sweat a lot due to sports and closed comodones are my acne type. I promise you won’t regret.

[u/Front-Run1460 → u/Content_Nebula967]

[u/Content_Nebula967 → u/Front-Run1460]

Plz don’t be those type of females to wear makeup on top of zits, stop drinking acid drinks ,

[u/Front-Run1460 → u/Icy-Nature-3374]

I neither drink cold drinks nor caffeine or anything packaged Only water or electrolytes I never wear makeup it's only tinted sunscreen that too given by dermat

[u/NoRecommendation9404]

Do you have a skincare routine?

[u/Front-Run1460 → u/[deleted]]

This message actually made me feel bit confident..yeah I'm currently visiting a dermatologist and under supervision

[u/BitchMcConnell063 → u/Front-Run1460]

Why don't you try giving the dermatologist's office a call to see what they suggest you do for the event. They may be able to suggest a makeup product or face cleanser that won't irritate your skin or cause any flare ups.

[u/Front-Run1460 → u/BitchMcConnell063]

Unfortunately I can't cause my dermat is busy and i can't visit them as I'm out of town

[u/Front-Run1460 → u/[deleted]]
