Feel ugly on my upcoming b-day

How should I start? I've been a picky user eversince, I never won any giveaways (which is fine). My main purpose of using this app is to know how to get rid of this acne/pimples that goes back and forth. I felt that it's useless to buy products cause no matter what I used, nothing helps. I'm still behind my face mask and doesn't have any confidence of showing my face. Tomorrow is my birthday and I felt dejavu,cause when I had my bday before, I have an acne and still now,nothing changes, it became the worst. I felt so ugly and ashame to face people. Others might say "OA, your acne/pimples are so minimal compare to others" which is true but I never invalidate their feelings cause whether we suffers the most or the least, we are still suffering right? Tomorrow should be the best day of my life but seeing myself like this in a mirror I'd rather want to be lonely. I'M SO UGLY!!! DARK SPOTS,WHITEHEADS, PIMPLES/ACNE MADE ME LOWER MY SELF-ESTEEM. I'M TIRED OF FINDING A PRODUCT THAT SUITS MY SKIN AND JUST WANTED TO GO TO A DOCTOR..HAISTTT😟But I don't have money for that, I'll just stop at this...I don't want to think anymore cause no one will help. I'm hopeless now... I'm tired of fooling myself.. just wanna say goodbye to my bday 😐

Hey girl, sorry to hear how you feel about this. It can be so hard to accept ourselves with our flaws. But honestly it's the only way we can become happy not always wanting to be or look perfect. Self acceptance is the way to happiness. Even with the best skincare we can sometimes have acne. Especially when it's hormonal BUT skincare can do a lot. Can you maybe share with out what your current routine is and what you've been using/trying in the past? That way we can maybe think with you 😊 I hope tomorrow you may wake up with a fresh feeling that despite your skin you may have a lovely day. You deserve to enjoy your joy wether your skin looks amazing or is flawed with acne. It doesn't make your value any less and it absolutely doesn't make your ugly. Honestly I would love to have jaw bones structure like you. You seem to have a beautiful face shape and it is sad that acne distracts your from your beauty. Tomorrow don't fool yourself. Just look in the mirror and see the person behind your skin. Love her, love her deeps and tell her she is amazing and beautiful with every flaw she has. We are deserving of love even in our "what we ourselves call ugly" state. That loved feeling starts with us. Even if others would love us or are not even bothered by our flaws. We can never feel accepted and loved if we don't accept ourselves first. Such a hard procces but it's so important. When we can do that gives us a freedom inside that is priceless. It takes time, one step at a time. For now I want to wish you a happy birthday, may you still feel loved & celebrated 🥳❤️ and we are here to look at your skincare journey with you. We are happy to look at the products you use and see if these seem to suit your skin😊

Firstly Happy Birthday! Wish you a great day! We all struggle with things in life, I just want to take the time to say that it’s important to love yourself. I know it’s hard but mindset is everything and it does help. We can focus on the good instead of the bad. The blessings instead of the hardships. Maybe ask for money so you can visit a dermatologist for your birthday present! Lots of love ❤️

Hey there, sending you love and 🥰 I break out frequently this year, I can relate with how you feel as I had an important meeting with my huge acne, not even concealer and hide it's presence. Sometimes, I would just describe the acne scars as star constellation on my face. There are a few approaches I am trying to compare which is more effective. Having sensitive skin, it limits the type of products I can use. Anyway, which products had you tried?

Happy Early Birthday to you! I just want to let you know that I too at times feel like this journey to healthy skin is not rewarding and feel hopeless. HOWEVER (and it honestly should be in all CAPS), just know that it does get better. It’s not fooling yourself, it’s the fact that you try hard to achieve your goal of healthy skin and for those who try hard and want something very much things get better. Please, enjoy your birthday and your youth because one day you will want to look back at your life and I really don’t want you to feel like you missed out on experiences because of your skin.

I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. Acne can be incredibly challenging and it's understandable that it's affecting your self-esteem. Remember, you are not alone in feeling this and your feelings are valid. While finding the right skincare products can be a journey, it's important to be patient and kind to yourself throughout the process. It might be worth considering seeking professional help from a dermatologist if you're able to in the future. In the meantime, try to focus on self-care and remember that your worth extends far beyond your appearance. Surround yourself with supportive people who love and appreciate you for who you are. Birthdays should be about celebrating yourself, so try to find ways to enjoy the day and engage in activities that make you happy. Take care of yourself and remember that there is hope for improvement.
