My face is scary!

I've caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror in bright sunshine yesterday and I scared myself with how weird my skin looks.

I have

  • a fuzzy mini moustache (which is invisible most of the time apparently),
  • little fuzzy hairs on my cheeks and chin which become visible in the bright light and look really unsightly, - the worst thing is my skin looks like it has a "rough" texture to it BlushConfused especially around the forehead
I don't have any spots or blackheads etc so it must be just crappy skin.... Oh and let's not forget the awful yellow circles under my eyes.

I'm mid 20s and I have no clue if there's anything I can do to improve any of the things I mentioned??

My skin's a bit textured at present.

Don't forget that bright light makes things worse!

Lots of good liquids, healthy diet and personally I find a cold pressed oil like hempseed helps

Acids like glycolic or lactic should help with the unevenness and rough texture. Use a retinol a couple of times a week and a good heavy night cream to soften everything up.

Maybe wax your upper lip/chin if you're worried it's noticeable, but bright light is terribly unforgiving. The side light you get on planes is horrific.
