Struggling with Acne and Self Esteem

I have had that same issue. I dont really wear foundation anymore, even though I still have acne. I have learned that I can't use makeup to cover up what I dont like because that will just make it worse. I have found a skin care routine that works, and I don't have that much acne anymore. Oh! I would always wear mascara because I hated my short blonde eyelashes, but I started putting caster oil on them with a mascara wand, and they have grown and are really strong now! Yes, I do look better with makeup, but wearing it can make you look worse when you take that off. Try to look at it as improving your skin care and trying to accept that you look the way you look and make up can't change the way you look with it.

Accepting your skin the way it is is important but also if makeup make you feel better I don’t think it’s that bad. I’ve been trying to accept my acne and not make it worse with makeup but I’ve found that doing fun/a little more bold eye makeup makes me feel better. Small steps 🤷‍♀️
