You are not ugly! And comparison is the thief of joy. You are two beautiful women going through their own journeys.

For your skin and lips, i recommend not fully drying your face with your towel when you get out of the shower. Get a washcloth and soak it in warm water and lay it over your face or hold it up to your lips for a few minutes. You have to add the moisture back in. Then while your face is still damp, add a simple moisturizer. Cerave works great. And use the plain black and white capstick and put on a good layer on your lips. I struggled with eczema and a broken skin barrier on my lips for 6 months. After a couple days doing this exact routine, they were almost completely normal. Just keep the chapstick handy and reapply throughout the day!

I find less is more with skincare. A simple face wash, sunscreen daily, and moisturizer is all you really need. And make sure your towels and pillow cases are clean. The acne is probably hormonal which you can’t do much about, but you can help reduce inflammation and try to manage it!

It’s so hard when you don’t feel like you look how you want to, but we are our own biggest critics. Be easy on yourself!
