People don’t talk enough about how much acne effects your mental health. The amount of depression and anxiety I was dealing with during this period of life was so intense. I hated looking in the mirror. I hated pictures. I didn’t want to see my friends and family. I stopped doing the things that made me happy. I felt like a shell of myself - so small and ashamed. I spent a bunch of time and money trying to find the answer to ONLY thing I thought would make me happy. And guess what? When I finally got to the place I thought I’d be happy at, I still found something to pick at and criticize. I had spent so much time being my worst critic that I didn’t know how to turn it off. It’s something I’m still working on. So please choose to love yourself in all states of being. Thick, skinny, acne, clear skin, it doesn’t matter. Turn your biggest critic into your biggest cheerleader 🩷 You are deserving of all the love, support, and kindness. Love u #acnejourney🥺 #acneskincareroutine
