My ACNE JOURNEY

Since primary 6 till secondary school , i struggled with bad hormonal acne and slightly overweight . This led me to have low self esteem and no confidence . I kept comparing myself with others and definitely took a toll on mental health .

It took me awhile to realise that i should get proper treatment because of how expensive and other complications that might affect my skin and health . I went to a total of 6 dermatologist, my skin wasn’t stable , i took medication and applied the cream provided . It was an on and off situation … didn’t really get any better . So i decided to stop all the medications and cream .

Finally , when i was around 20-22 ongoing , i decided to workout at least 3/4 times a week and have a balance meal , no fast food and snacks .I told myself i have to do this to feel better , look better and be healthier . I did this for around 6 months, sometimes i felt demotivated and tired but i preserved on . Within a year , I saw drastic change , i lost weight , i felt more confidence and much more happier and healthier 🩷🩷 My skin also cleared up a lot.

In a Nutshell , i would say it’s normal to face hormonal acne , don’t put too much pressure on urself . I know it’s tough but to those who are still struggling don’t give up , be it weight or acne . There’s always a solution even though it might take longer but it’s VERY MUCH OKAY !! I also came a long way to get to where i am now .

PLS TAKE NOTE :

1. Do ur research on dermatologist ( check the prices and the reviews of the place before trying )

2. Diet and exercise is very very impt , it will help a lot trust me

3 . Don’t be so hard on urself , pace urself , everything needs time

4. products and skincare wise is really trial and error , so i can’t advise much. I would say consult in skin doctors and see what is good and bad for you . Everyone is different it’s outcome will be different

5. Love urself and YOU WILL SEE THE RESULTS HEHHEEHHEHE 🩷🩷🩷 , surround urself with positive and loving friends and family that’s very very impt.

STAY STRONG AND YOU GOT THIS 🫶🫶💪💪💪
