Ahaha, I love that face mask you did katy! I’ve been an aspirin sugar vitamin c mask as well since my teens, it’s really good at brightening the skin and also exfoliating and getting rid of those dead skin cells. Glad your makeup artist recommended it, it’s so good, I still do it to this day! Ah no way! You’re the first person who hasn’t been like “aspirin?!?!?!?!?!?!” hahahah! It is so so good!

My skin has always been a hell of a mess 😂😂😂
I did start using the Avene Cleanance series and I might finally have found sth that agrees with me, cleanses it really well and keeps it calmed down.
I try to use as less makeup as possible (stupid saying beauty comes from the inside has to be true, otherwise I wouldn’t have made the decision to stand the most important day of my life with no makeup at all 🤣), or use minimalistic non comedogenic tinted creme. All in all it works out more than well for me!
I’d recommend to give Avene a try! It’s a little bit expensive I guess but I personally feel so much better since using it!

I went to a dermatologist earlier this week because I'm getting married next year and I've been frustrated for years with my skin and want to make sure I look good for the photos, etc. I never knew exactly what the issue was and she determined it's all acne scarring from when I was a teenager (I had pretty bad hormonal acne and it started early for me too). So she recommended this plastic surgeon that can perform all kinds of skin care treatments, and specifically recommended microneedling and possibly a chemical peel. Unfortunately the treatments are quite expensive, like literally hundreds of dollars per session, but I'd really like to get my skin treated and finally not have to worry about it anymore. I'm going to see if I can set up a consultation with them and discuss what the best options are and figure out how much it might end up costing. In the meantime she prescribed me retinoid to use at nighttime, but I think it will take several weeks/months to really see any result from that.

I don't have visible skin problems, but every morning I wake up, my skin is as if smeared with oil, very oily ... Could it be related to my diet? I guess so. What I don't like about my skin is the freckles on my face. They appear in the summer. There are not so many and they are not very bright, this is especially noticeable up close. In the photo, I always try to hide it.

Also, if I eat a lot of sweets, then on my eyebrows, in my beard and hairline, my skin turns red, starts to itch. The doctor explained to me that it was a type of allergy that I developed when I was younger.

Years back I got the same suggestion but the woman told me it would be a kinda long process and I should better not plan anything for 4 or 6 weeks because I might look horribly red all the time?! That’s why I never thought about doing that though. Still, I’m getting older and I would love to get rid of that stress factor… Edit: but I’m curious how you decide!!

In the photo, I always try to hide it. I usually wake up with oily skin as well, but I have oily, acne prone skin. So either maybe you also have oily skin, or it could be diet-related (if you eat oily foods, for example). Maybe if you wash your face before bedtime that could also help. I notice if I don't wash my face or if I use a heavy moisturizer before bed I will wake up with more oily skin.

Treatments nowadays might be better, I haven't heard anything about you shouldn't schedule anything for 4-6 weeks. It maybe depends on what treatment you get and how advanced the technology is, how skilled the person doing it is, etc. Microneedling will irritate your skin and make it red but they should use a soothing cream after to calm it down and I don't know if it takes weeks for it to calm down, maybe more like a couple days. A chemical peel I know you can be shedding skin for like days, maybe even weeks

What I don't like about my skin is the freckles on my face. They appear in the summer. There are not so many and they are not very bright, this is especially noticeable up close. In the photo, I always try to hide it. Oh same here, I think its just that we may have oily skin, my pore opens sometimes to. But closes in winter lol. Oddly, I had brown spots (its due to sunlight only).. I'm not sure if I can call them freckles as I have a fair skin tone but I am not white. I got them removed from my face. Anyone who has acne problems - it could be hormonal, so get a hormone test done first. If it happens at times - pls don't pick on it. Get a sandalwood stick or pure sandalwood powder and apply it on skin, when I had breakouts as a teenager I applied them overnight and they helped. Its also good for the skin. Neem is anti bacterial and helpful too. If you have neem trees in your area, you can pluck and clean the leaves - make a paste and apply it on your face. You can also get ready made neem face packs/ face washes. Personally I'd recommend Himalaya - Neem face pack & face wash. I have oily skin so I always had pimples as a kid. Sandalwood & Neem always cleared them up & I have no scarring from my acne. Always wash your face after coming from outside and don't apply make up on your acne. It will make it worse. For skin brightening and cleaning - chick pea powder cleanses like no other, we call it besan here. I generally add chick pea powder, curd & a pinch of turmeric powder - and bathe with it. Just don't put too much turmeric powder , as it stains. Get organic stuff. you can just use chick pea powder for scrubbing/ cleaning off your face. It really cleans. ^^ The above are very common for skincare in India. Also be careful while using things like aspirin on the skin. I'm not sure but I have read it can irritate the skin. www.healthline.com/health/aspirin-for-acne#The-bottom-line

My cousin sister had acne scars too and she got chemical peeling done back in 2010. Its been 13 years with no visible side effects so far and we live in a very sunny place. From my experience, scar removing works, so good luck to you. Also when you get the treatment and are also using retinoid, just make sure you know all the precautions. I think you have to be careful to light exposure. Just get it done from the best.

I know this won’t make the slightest bit of difference because it’s all how you see it yourself, but your skins always looked good in any photos I’ve seen of you! Definitely go for it though if it sounds like it’ll work for you and the cost works out ok, especially for your wedding it’ll make the world of difference if you don’t need to worry about it in the lead up

I have a very light skin and get in the summer that hyper pigmentation wich is very dark brown, then I also have red acne scarring and where my skin is good it's light so 3 colors in my face, sucks! I also have oily skin. I've tried so many products, also from my pharmacy and they give me advice what to try, they always tell me to use a good sunscreen, 50spf for my face but now I have one for oily skin wich is great for my face cause a lot of sunscreen lotion is way too greasy. I use a teatree/charcoal soap and it gets a bit better now but it'll always comes back from time to time I suppose.
