Feel really down about my skin. Pics included

[Katiekiara]

Lately I’ve been really envious of people who look good naturally. I look awful, after years of piling on makeup and being unable to recognise my true self I’ve decided to try and tone down but I’m battling with my skin. I have red marks on my skin I’m presuming from acne when I was younger. I also have really bad purple and blue veins under my eyes and I hate them, I think it’s due to the thin skin. I’m so sad about this. I know there’s bigger problems in the world, I’m currently going through a miscarriage maybe that’s why I’m feeling sorry for myself, just wondered if there’s any treatments or creams anything that would help either problem

Afraid I don't have any advice regarding treatments or products. However I'd like to say that you have beautiful eyes, lovely colour and shape, also great full lips!!
One of my friends has scars on her face and I never notice them because she has a lovely face and I think you do too 😊

And also
I'm sorry about your miscarriage

Some of The Ordinary products get great reviews for old scars etc. There are lots of vids on YouTube which may help. So sorry about your miscarriage, pamper yourself. BTW, those lips are to die for 😀

Hey.

I have started using the ordinary products and I cannot even begin to tell you how much it has cleared my skin up.

They have a regime guide, depending on what you want to achieve with your skin and it shows you which products you need for morning and night.

All really affordable too!

Hope this helps. Sorry to hear about your miscarriage x

Your eyes are beautiful and you have lovely full lips !

I have just ordered some products from the Ordinary.There have been some previous threads about great results for oily skin if you search.Unfortunately I call it the ageing skin category
Sorry to hear about the miscarriage. look after yourself

Another vote for The Ordinary here. You can email Victoria Health with pics of your skin/skin info and they'll recommend a regime. It's really affordable too and I've found that the products really work.

When I went through a miscarriage I felt the same - down, low and pretty grim about myself. I found investing in some new skin care so I could create a self-care 'ritual' each morning and night made me feel loads better even before I started seeing results.

I'm so sorry for your loss - look after yourself and be kind to yourself. And for what it's worth I really don't think your skin is awful at all - maybe in need of a little TLC but honestly it's no where near as bad as you think, you have a lovely face and beautiful eyes. I know when you feel down about yourself it doesn't matter what other people say but try to see the good too! :)

You are beautiful and your skin doesn’t look at all bad to me 💐

Sorry for your loss.
You have a beautiful face, really you do. Murad is nice for younger skin, scarring etc.

So sorry for your loss. 💐

You are really beautiful you know.

You look really pretty to me too, OP

So sorry for your loss .
You are genuinely beautiful, gorgeous eyes, stunning lips and your skin looks fine to me.

You’ve all made me smile Thankyou :) I’ll have a look at the products you mentioned, maybe I was just being silly xo

I cannot help but just to say that you are very beautiful, and your natural beauty really outshines any slight skin flaws.

Oh you are so pretty! So footy about your miscarriage. I'm also not too confident about my skin, but have a low maintenance kind of attitude to my looks. I wear decent foundation well mayched to natural colour which basically just evens things out a bit and makes me more confident,but I wear no other make up. People usually think I don't wear make up at all. Would it work for you to do a good foundation but minimise everything else? You have lovely features so dont need much help really!

Footy should have sorry! Weird auto correct!

There is nothing wrong with looking after yourself and self-care at a time like this can only be a good thing. Bearing in mind your hormones may be contributing to lower face break outs, you can easily get improved clarity.

If I were in your place, I would be double cleansing in the morning and evening and for a day cream using:

theordinary.com/product/rdn-vitamin-c-suspension-30pct-in-silicone-30ml?redir=1 (if you are not going out and wearing make up)

and night product: theordinary.com/product/rdn-mandelic-acid-10pct-ha-30ml?redir=1

and if you need a good cleanser or moisturiser go to Aldi for their: www.aldi.co.uk/c/specialbuys/health-and-beauty/skin-care

And if you have any spare money, spend it on a massage, good book, meal with friends. Hope you start feeling better soon xx

The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin seems to be going a good job on a couple of old spot scars of mine. And they aren't just red marks, they're little craters. Definitely worth a go.

Look after yourself just had a MC myself it does make you abit crazy. You Look stunning to me! Take care xx

Thankyou all, you’ve really put a smile on my face :) xxx

So sorry for your loss 💐

I agree you are lovely and your eye colour is wow

I think it could be hormonal, so I think the above recommendation if massage good book and meal out with friends so perfect
