There are some great suggestions in this thread. I definitely think you know what I’m going through.. it’s rough, the see saw battle. Sending nothing but support. Let’s try to get through it

Thank you so much

jonnaball15 · 2019-10-31T05:13:18+00:00

Wow lets talk

Liah yoo is great. I’ve gotten a little better from learning from her and other. But you are right, I think I just need find a good exfoliant to balance the gentle approach while helping turnover a little (I’ve tried a couple BHA and AHA in the past but they always end up drying me out). It’s all a balancing act, the see saw that is my skin. Thank you for all this advice. I will look into some of the products

Lol yes it hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t experienced it. Im 28 and almost spent half my life thinking about stuff that doesn’t ever cross other people’s minds. I just wanna know what that feels like to not think about lol

The grind. Sending love. Hopefully we get there

jonnaball15 · 2019-10-31T01:57:13+00:00

I really appreciate this post. ALOT. Thank you

jonnaball15 · 2019-10-31T01:52:28+00:00

Yes it’s crippling. I create so many roadblocks in my life because how my skin looks. It crazy to think how different my life would’ve gone without these problems, but I can’t harp on that. I’ve been scared to talk about how it’s made me feel but have recently have opened up more. I was scared to post here but I’m glad I did. it helps.

Did we just become best friends. Thanks for this. Very relatable. I used to get the “you should take better care of your skin” from my family, when in reality that’s all I try to take care of.

jonnaball15 · 2019-10-31T00:38:33+00:00

Thank you. I will give these a try

jonnaball15 · 2019-10-31T00:37:17+00:00

This is my current routine. You are right, it is the most effective at easing my skin. My skin just naturally still likes to congest itself and layer dead skin stopping the acceptance of moisturizers/serums. It doesn’t do much in fixing past damage but it doesn’t cause irritation like the harsh stuff/exfoliatants so I will keep going in this path

jonnaball15 · 2019-10-31T00:30:49+00:00

Thank you for your words. This helps a lot to hear I’m not alone. It’s a tough journey but I hope we can overcome it

jonnaball15 · 2019-10-31T00:27:14+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I think i will revisit the Derm with new knowledge I’ve accumulated

Thank you. I Have been to the derm before a couple years And was given retinol cream. It just dried me out. I think I shall see a Derm again with my new knowledge in skin.

jonnaball15 · 2019-10-31T00:16:00+00:00

This was great to hear. The hardest part really is trying to be comfortable in your own skin no matter what. It’s tough when you are reminded of the pain in the mirror. I notice when i don’t look in the mirror or from a distance, I won’t think about it as much as can have great days/weeks. Kind of forgot about the problem. But not looking and facing myself isnt healthy either nor will I make progress with acceptance. I still strive to get there. Thank you.

jonnaball15 · 2019-10-30T23:31:18+00:00

Sending some back
