PLEASE STOP SAYING YOUR SKIN IS ‘BAD’. It always pains me when people describe their skin as ‘bad’. “My skin is so bad”, “my acne is horrible” or “my texture looks vile”. I used to do this all this time. And all it ever did was make me feel worse about myself and my skin, because even if I didn’t realise it, using those negative words exacerbated my insecurities and destroyed any self confidence I had left. It wasn’t until I stopped using those words to describe my skin could I take a step back and realise that I wasn’t bad and I wasn’t ugly - I just had acne. Your skin is not bad, it is normal. Please never forget that.
