Your Teenage Acne Might Not Go Away

- Adult acne exists and it might not just be teenage breakouts, but that is ok! You are beautiful and your acne does not define you❤️🥰 #acneisnormal #normalizenormalskin #adultacne #hormonalacne #acnejourney #acnepositivity #acnefighter #acnecommunity #acneconfidence #realskin #acnepositivity #skinpositivity #shorts
As someone who suffered YEARS from acne, its an inflammation. It indicates thats something in the body is NOT ok and you shouldn’t ignore it.
EXACTLY. As someone who did not have teenage acne, but had it pretty bad as an adult, its not okay and its curable. Mine was caused by a severly damaged gut. Their are many many treatments for acne, both allopathic and natural. First step is to change what you eat and check you gut flora.
Thank you, the comment I was looking for. I get accepting yourself and loving yourself the way you are and I wished I loved myself more when I was going through this but I don't think we need to normalize acne like it's a "skin type". Acne-prone skin and oily skin are skin-types, but constantly acne-riddled skin can be an indication something isn't right.
The reason teenagers are always told "it's okay it'll go away" is because their bodies and hormones are changing so much but as an adult with more stabilized levels of hormones it shouldn't be a constant.
I get the frustration and I get how adult acne destroys your self-esteem, I have been there. It's not the kind of acne you can just "wash your face more" and be clear of it so it is annoying when people try to give you advice like you hadn't thought of it. I think the message of this channel is beautiful and we should be kind to people no matter what their skin looks like but it just may not always be correct to ignore constant inflammations of the largest organ on your body.
@@balticprimal1306 How do you recommend we do this? I still have acne prone skin, not severe but it's oily and super sensitive
Was just gonna say this! Dairy caused a lot of my acne, as did a hidden autoimmune disease, I believe.
Stress and other foods can cause terrible acne as well, the trick is finding the cause and eliminating it
Edit: common food sensitivities that may cause acne (that are in general terrible for your body and gut) are gluten, dairy, sugar, processed foods, preservatives, food dyes, grains, soy, etc
Right off the bat, I'm screaming SOS. Polycystic ovarian disease causes severe acne and a lot of Dermatologists and OBGYNs miss it. Food sensitivity too. Changing soap and hair products. Getting an infrared heat face mask to kill mites that are aggravating the skin too.
It’s also really important that people stop thinking that acne is something dirty, like you can have great personal hygiene and still get acne
Yup, most of the time it's hormonal. For me it always gets worse around the time I'm menstruating.
Acne is mostly genetic.
Yes but whether it's hormonal, genetic, diet, etc. acne is acne & needs to be treated.
@@misssmisssymaria but it’s not in some cases
Yes! My husband struggled with acne for years & has scars from scrubbing his skin to the point of bleeding, because his abusive parents told him that he was "too dirty" & "not scrubbing hard enough" 😣
This is literally the channel I needed so bad. I love this so much and you have no clue how bad I needed this 😊

when i started getting my acne in my face, my family and friends immediately judge me and blaming me for my acne, i'm suffering. fighting for my acne, fix my lifestyle, eat healthier food, and fix my skincare. and then my acne is slowly gone after months of fight almost a year. and then i realize, acne is making me live healthier and happier, acne is teaching me that nothing is useless. if you are an acne fighter, keep fighting!! don't fight for your acne, but fight for your healthiness and happiness. it all will pay off. sometimes acne is telling you that your body isn't healthy, because if you're body is healthy then your skin will do to. tips from me is don't forget to eat vegetables and fruit, do some workout, and skincare is less is more! sending love for y'all acne fighter ❤❤❤
Thx❤❤
I worked out everyday, ate healthier than most, had impeccable hygiene, and drank tons of water but my skin was still shitty
@@Dothwa if so, i suggest you to go see a doctor or skin specialist maybe they could give you a medicine for your acne if needed, don't give up okay? hope this helps ❤️
Hey just know God is here for you it is not your fault don’t let that get to you it’s ok to have it
I’m 35 and my acne didn’t go away until I was 31. I was convinced that it was never going away. I ended up dropping out of college because my acne was so bad and I was embarrassed to go to class. There were a handful of times where my acne cleared up for probably a week in my 20’s and I remember being so happy and absolutely heartbroken when it would return. One time in particular when I had a clear skin week a modeling scout approached me and gave me her card to connect on modeling for a major agency. My acne returned like 3 days later so I threw away the card. Acne truly ruins lives.
This….
My acne was so bad when I started class in high school. All people around me was busy with their crush, date, made friends with others, doing teenagers things. But I was too shy to even doing my presentation in front of class. I became the last rank in class, my score was bad bad and bad in almost all of subject in class. And in the second grade of high school I think please I can't live longer like this. So I started got my confidence, I don't care about my acne anymore. And I boost my rank to the top 3, the third in class. All people amazed how I can do that, they think I had no brain. Went on to university, I graduated with the best score in my faculty. And now I'm 28, still have my acne, it will worst each 2 years, heals, worst, repeat the cycle. But I don't care. This is me, everyone's not perfect. So what if we struggling about acne. Cheers up my dear acne friends, you're not alone...
If it's really truly bad, you can get a doctor to give you some prescription accutane
@@Powerroni yep
I used to have a severe acne, i jus used dove and aveeno daily moisturizer. Now i have a clear skin and never change to any brand. Ive been using this for 12 years now. I hope it helps others too
I hated being told I was dirty or "just wash my face." I was washing my face way more than the average human and still got acne. It's caused by underlying cause I had no control over. Smh. Thank you for showing us this. I needed this.
I had a guess that it's on your imbalance hormones in your body?
Hmm, what does your diet look like? What fluids do you consume? Are you physically active? Do you wash your face every day? Do you moisturize? Do you drink a lot of water?
When you wash your face use hot water and a loofa scrub gently and then apply your soap or whatever your using. Scrub gently one more time to get the soap lathered on your face. Rinse all that off and then blast your face with cold water. As cold as your shower goes. Then take a microfiber rag, wet it with cold water and dab your face with it a few times to reduce inflammation. Do this three times a day and say goodbye to acne. Once in the morning, once when you get home from work/school/midday, and once before you go to bed. Also, you could avoid eating foods with an absorbent amount of sugar. Oh and drink lots of water. You could even ice your face once or twice a week if you feel that, or use acne cream once every other day.
You can put all the product you want on your face and the only solution will still be diet.
@@darlafreeman7319 no it's not the diet. There is actually really less scientific evidence for that. Most of the times it's just genetic.
You go girl. And remember you are beautiful

Edit: OK, seriously, I thought I was alone with acne but now we have this whole acne community supporting each other.❤
It’s diet, not necessary the bad stuff you’re eating, but the lack of nutrients, so the inflammation comes in. Fruits and veggies, but most importantly ZINC
@@FortuneFunnelsometimes it's not, I have a really good diet but when I was 10-14 I had TERRIFYING acne and it only cleared up once my hormones stopped going crazy

I needed this… my adult acne is much worse than my teenage acne.
@meat3994 Same dermatologists are so helpful
Have you tried fungal cream? I went to the dermatologist and they didn't suggest anything fungal. I tried a store brand fungal cream and saw results within days. It worked for me, maybe it could help someone else
I'm 72 now and had problem skin since I was 10. I'm taking through prescription - metro gel. Helping a lot but takes time
just wash your face
@@caseinnitrate2004 that doesn’t always work yknow
TYY! I got acne when I was 8. In elementary school everyone bullied me for that, they all had a perfect skin while I had a lot of acne. I'm 13 and my friends still have the perfect skin they always had while I'm here with horrendous acne since 3rd grade. I always feel bad when talking with someone, they're staring at ur face while Ik my face is covered in acne. All my friends have teenage problems but no one has mine so they can't help me. I'm trying tons of skincare products and healthy food regularily, but NOTHING CHANGES. All my friends don't even wash their faces and eat all they want while their skin looking normal and perfect. What the fudge😔
i have acne too. i wish you went to my school because i always feel so alone with it, like nobody else has it. ik im not alone and i hope you know ur not alone either!! at the end of the day i’m sure you’re beautiful and all that matters is how u feel🫶
Acne at 8?? Damn girl. Acne that early gonna destroy your self confidence girl. Even I got it when I was 11. Now I'm 80% better but still under confidence is printed in my subconscious mind. I subconsciously avoid myself in the mirror, lighting, camera, trouble talking to people face to face. Don't let it print on your mind as well. Treat em asap otherwise they can leave deep scars hard to handle in future. And yes don't listen to parents when they say it will go off automatically
I started getting acne when I was 11 in the pandemic so I panicked at first but i searched it up on internet and thought it was normal and I was so confident with those but when the pandemic was over the schools were reopen i noticed none of my friends has it and I was kinda insecure about it but I still was confident but then in the middle of 7th grade my best friend who left school before pandemic came visiting and her skin was clear and perfect and my ex told me that he got a crush on my best friend 🙄and he constantly kept asking about her and all that affected me much and I thought he didnt liked me coz of my acne I started going crazy over it my self esteem just dropped so down and I started taking extreme skincare and when it was summer vacation i work on it soo much and at 8th they almost were gone and I got a haircut as soon as I enter the class everybody just stared at me but not my crush but rn I totally got rid of acne and now I'm insecure of my body and I think people don't like me but my bestie coz I'm so skinny I'm working on it too I growed a little bit but my height I'm way insecure about myself but rn I'm gaining confidence and improving myself coz of me moral: no matter how u change urself ur still gonna feel insecure just be urself and be confident they way u are and uk what the healthiest skin a teenager can have is a acne prone skin so don't be ashamed of it
My story similar to yours. I got acne at like 9, it wasn't that painfull, but still visible, uncomfortable and constant. I'm 18 now and it didn't go away as everyone told me.
I feel so insecure about my skin, acne really destroys your confidence because you don't see it happening to people around you, especially when you're so young. I'm so sorry you had to deal with being bullied for acne.
I also had kinda traumatic experience with dermatologists, they didn't make a smallest effort to help me. I'm scared to visit a doctor at the moment, so I'm just learning how to live with acne.
You are so strong and you deserve the best. It's a hard journey to go through. You are not alone. Your looks are not what defines you. Be kind to yourself and don't let dealing with acne take over your life. There is so much more to life ❤️
I knew a girl who had many pimples on her skin because of some internal issues. Go get a blood test and get checked out. Also visit a dermatologist. You never know, maybe a good treatment will help you. That girl, I know has healed and her skin looks so much better.
my mum had adult acne, she always was insecure about it, i never understood why, to me she was beautiful, we should normalise more people with textured skin and acne, it’s normal, almost everyone has had it, that doesn’t make you less than others, you are gorgeous btw girl, love your content ❤
p.s: i never got this many likes before, im glad some agree with me in this :’)
Acne is ugly that's probably why she was insecure 😕
We don't have to "normalize" anything, but skin condition that certainly it's not right. What we have to do is stop judging and mocking about how people look, we should be less superficial
@@alfredogonzalez2857 yeah but almost everyone has pimples or acne, and if you don’t you probably had in the past but anyways, the point is that it’s normal to have texture in your skin, not everyone has glass perfect skin, not even celebrities, we should stop judging and try to be more understandable that having imperfect skin is part of being human
@@JolyneCypher that's not helpful at all, saying acne is ugly isn't gonna help, it's just negative, it's just gonna make people who have acne insucure.
@Lolo
It's the opinion of that person and that's fine
U don't have to find acne beautiful
Infact I don't either
But what's disgusting is judging ppl for it eventhough everyone had at least 1 in their lifetime
It's not shameful or anything but it's not beautiful, and that's ok no one is perfect
I had horrible acne for about 4 years before I saw a dermatologist. I thought I was ugly and it caused me so much pain just to smile because of the inflammation. I was given medication and about 6 months later, my skin cleared up completely. Although,I wish I'd seen your channel in the 4 years that I spent hating my face, then it might not have been so bad. Regardless, I love the positivity ❤
how long did it take for the dermatologist to see you? because I can't seem to get a booking
@@justruchir About 4 weeks. My family doctor pushed me through though so I didn't have to wait as long
@@justruchiras an indian waiting for dr appointments fun for us...
What medication did you get if I may ask?
@@goodvibes6666not really. We have several doctors around every street. Just getting appointments at GOOD doctors is challenging.
I have had such a hard time with my acne recently. I just feel like I'm surrounded by so many people that have perfectly clear skin and it makes me feel ugly. So to see how gorgeous you are with acne is just such an encouragement. Because it is really hard, I've been crying a lot because of it, because I've felt alone and like nobody would get it. However, your videos have helped me a lot 💛
If you used all creams and ointments in the face, maybe the problem lies on your imbalance hormones especially if you're androgen is high than your estrogen.
You should treat your hormones first and problems inside, before you take any ointments on your face.
I’ve been feeling the same way. I literally hate looking in the mirror and I work in cosmetics/skincare and it’s been extremely discouraging. I’ve always struggled with breakouts and acne and have always had a low self esteem. This video definitely made me feel better though. Sending you love and positivity beautiful ❤.
I used kojie san soap for my pimples. And it dried mine, maybe it can help yours. Itchy needs acidity.👍
Avoid oils, dairy and animal products. Don’t put coconut oil on your face. Do these things and your skin with clear up and be beautiful soon.
@@connordrake5713 THISS. My dermatologist gave me antibiotics to treat my acne and it did nothing. My gp then put me on birth control and my acne vanished within 3 months. Turns out i had a hormone imbalance. If you have acne and also notice youre growing excessive hair and your period cramps are really bad, it is likely a hormone issue
I had horrifying cystic acne on my back, chest, and face. Also psoriasis on my hairline. Parents wouldn’t take me to the dr. because it will “go away” one day and “I lived through it”. So I got a job to be able to purchase cleansers and makeup. Tough years.
i hope you’ve been able to see a professional about this since, or that you’ve at least found ways to manage and deal with it ❤
You can treat both cystic acne and psoriasis with your diet.
Go on an elimination diet with beef and water for 30 days... You'll see crazy improvement in both conditions.
Then slowly add back in foods to find out which ones trigger your psoriasis and your acne.
I did this with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and I've got both in complete remission with my diet. My diet does contain some carbs, and some occasional fruit and veg, but is MOSTLY beef, egg yolks, and hard cheeses.
That's what's working for me, but the beauty of the elimination diet is that, what works for me might not work for you, and you can do some experimentation and find out exactly what works for you.
I’m so sorry you went through that 😢 I went through something similar, my mother would buy very cheap products that didn’t work on me but refused to actually take me to a dermatologist when it got worse
@@speedyllama8380 found an American in the wild. But man, seriously, this is the most stupid "advice" I read today, and I checked twitter
@@strawberry_punch_art And yet... I used to be crippled with psoriatic arthritis, and now we go on trips backpack camping 60 miles in 6 days.
But yeah... Terrible advice. 🙄
As someone who is a teenager and has acne it is very important for me to be reminded that acne is ok and the i am not the only one suffering from it.
Yeah we're not the only person suffering from this ❤😊
Me to
They aren't a skin type and it's not okay. They are curable and you can totally help them. It doesn't make you any less, but you do need to take care of it
Same here, im so insecure about it😢😢 we can get through this together tho!😁
@@annaagapova3583 not everyone has the luxury to get acne that can be cured. some acne types can only be cured with age. People with acne don’t just live with it and accept their fate they try a lot of methods, they try many doctors but with no luck. It’s hard to get rid of hormonal acne. And skincare does not help. It dissapears around the age of 30
As a preteen , I started having severe acne at 10, I tried products I tried everything, I was made fun of because of that and because I put on weight due to puberty (eg: my hips widening ) it was difficult seeing other people my age who had flawless skin, gorgeous eyes and perfect bodies, (stick figures ) no one on RUclips helped me, they all catered to older people and hence when I tried to fix my acne it didn’t work, it made it much worse. It’s nice to see someone else who is telling me it’s normal.
Please people, do food allergy and tolerance test. Milk and peanut cause acne. A lot of people have issues because of what they eat. No mater what you use if you don’t take out the root cause it will keep coming back
Almost in literal tears-
I've been called,
"Pepperoni face" by 4 people.
and somebody once said to me,
"Well at least I don't have acne"
and..
"(name) you've had that pimple since like last year"
Acne should be normalized. Nobody else should go through *name calling, being made fun of for having acne, being jealous because your friends or family have perfect skin*
Because it is perfectly normal. I got so insecure because of mine to the point where I enjoyed wearing the mask, and started to cover my mouth whenever I smile or laugh. Even with the mask, I'd cover my face unconsciously. I still though just so I don't get sick, and I'm still a bit insecure. But this made me feel a lot better, because I've never seen somebody else with a lot of chin acne like me.
This is very relatable I I loved having a mask on during COVID and had severe acne. I still have a lot of acne scarring. The product that I use is called emuaid and if your family can afford it, it really helps. I noticed results within a week, and it didn't take long for the results to get really good. My pimples reduced in severity drastically. I still get acne but you can't really tell from a distance anymore! But regardless, once when I was in 6th grade, someone asked me what it was on my face and having to explain that because I was basically the only one in the grade with severe acne was so embarrassing. Also had tons of looks and judgement. You are beautiful and don't let anyone make you feel otherwise. Anyone who bullies you about acne it shows they are a disgusting human being, not you
Oh and btw emuaid is alcohol with pink stuff on the bottom, I apply every night with a cutip. The alcohol ensures that you know and feel it works, it's the only thing I was able to stick to because the pills tasted horrible and the creams felt useless. It also gave me an artificial tan basically otherwise I would be a lot more pale lol...
This has happened to me , I'm only in 6th grade it's been since 2nd grade
@@C3r4J I'm so sorry you're going through this ik people can be mean/annoying but just know it's not your fault and acne can't be controlled. If someone tells you it's your diet, just know that says more about THEM than you. The pain is real and no one deserves to go through that. Know that you're beautiful and your skin type is not what defines you or your beauty, both physical and mental.
My chin is considered real estate to my pimple.
I literally didn't have acne *until* I was an adult. Turns out it's hormonal, and I'm just now taking steps to help treat it. It's rough right now, but it isn't a character flaw. I have to remind myself of that.
What steps are you taking?
I have same issue cause i suffer premenstrual syndrome and I'm taking progestin control birth pill and a detergent with salicylic acid
Me too but it hit me when i turned 21. It wasn’t too bad so OTC stuff worked great especially salicylic acid. It returned as mascne during lockdown and again… salicylic acid was my bestie along w glycolic acid. Currently at 26 dealing with hormonal acne from a plan b i took and guess what is helping 🤣 SALICYLIC ACID i swear it is a MIRACLE and so is glycolic acid but SA is the best i swear
There is a reason for acne, your body is giving you a sign something is happening on the inside…I know myself as at certain life stages my acne was way worse then yours and when I listened (it was leaky gut in my body) then my skin got completely cleared.
Not always the case
Inflammation makes sense-
It's not always the case, Petra.
@@slsilver481 yes it is always the case that if you are getting bumps, something is wrong. Bumps are a reaction to either something external or internal.
@@slsilver481 It kinda is. Perhaps it is not something severe that it would cost you your life but it does mean something is not good inside of you be it due to stress, food, or habits. Because it is one thing to get acne but it is another to get inflamed acne like the person in this video. Do not get me wrong, her message is very positive and much needed but I would advice her or someone like her with inflamed acne to get a full body checkup if possible or relax a bit.
as someone who is super insecure with everything this helps a lot because this make day so much better. thank you.
This video is so relatable. I started having acne at 11 and I am going to be 30 this year and i still have acne. I have just started accepting my skin as it is.
I was diagnosed with severe acne. I barely noticed because I was confident and loved myself. People forget about it after the first 5 secs of meeting you if you act confident. I asked people from that time if they remember my acne and they said no.
But I was literally diagnosed by the doctor.
It's like being tall. Walk with the confidence of a model and its stunning. Walk hunched and hide behind everyone else and your height looks weird.
so true, one of my biggest crushes in highschool had horrible acne but he had an amazing smile and was a wonderful artist and really sweet and funny and acne just gets forgotten about when you actually care about the person behind it!
@@gobosMommy My dear friend, as an artist gotta say You don't know how much you boosted my confidencethw day I started doing art I just believedbthat I signed the contract of eternal Bachelorhood💀😂
Diagnosed?? You don't need a doctor to tell you you have it. Just look in the mirror.
@@ASmith-jn7kf a lot of acne is caused by a specific type of bacteria that they can test for with a skin swab so that might be what they meant when they said diagnosed.
Yeah i had horrible acne too from a really young age like 12 and i was diagnosed with genetic acne, after i did accutane it calmed down and now im mainly left with scars and i get small pimples now and again it depends on my diet and hormones now tbh
I’m so afraid to look straight someone’s bcz I think my acnes are so uncomfortable to them 😭 and I’m always struggling this acne problem but this video is comfort to me and I realized it’s a normal thing
Thank you so much for this ❤️

Don't be afraid girl, you're beautiful and unique♥️ I hope you become more confident don't let the world tell you about yourself (telling this to myself aswell)
Dont afraid I bet you are beautiful, with acne or without. I had pretty bad acne and I was so insecure about it. But always remember it’s a normal thing, if you still struggle you should get a dermatologist prescribed pimple spot or anything else, made my skin so much better. I hope you will feel better and confident, acne is a normal thing ❤
@@gardenscapeNastya easy to say for people with good skin. Acne is terrible and I look bad with them
@@Ja99prod Acne is a normal thing it shouldn’t be considered terrible though I do get where you are coming from I don’t have the best skin but it’s in pretty good shape but that’s because I have been taking care I had pretty bad acne but then I went to dermatologist and they recommended. I use pimple cream just place on it and it works very good but there’s other like you can use acids double cleanse sunscreen and just take care you need to find a good routine and what your skin requires
As a 51 year old with acne prone skin i understand the pain.I was commented on ,made fun of and there was no medical help available in the small town I lived and grew in.
I tried every home remedy for my face and later on when I shifted to a metro city i received medical care for my condition.To this date I have skin breakout but I have learned to deal with it.
Adult acne, cystic acne, and oily and acne prone skin is GENETIC, and there’s no magic “cure” for it. Don’t let people make you feel like you’re dirty, like it’s your fault, like you’re diseased, and should be pushed aside. You’re beautiful, you’re capable, you’re worthy, and you have a right to be here, in this space, just like everyone else. ❤️
Acne is a result of an unhealthy lifestyle and diet. A very small portion of acne suffers are because of “genetics”. People eat 200 grams of carbs a day and milk and wonder why they have acne. Peoples insulin is shot. Genetics is the excuse people make to not have to eat properly and consistently. Acne is diabetes of the skin.
People again again realized you that it was a big problem and what you did to your skin
some mafaka told me that i was the only one with "pimples" and i was ugly.. while they looked like a whole goldfish. My acne is pretty much normal teen hormones acne... and all of the other students hide theirs with make up and all.. like bro atleast im honest
@@KrishanKumar-ec1chnot everybody can give their body the right things or is able to know what that is for them. health looks different on everyone. i live in america and i see our healthcare system. and our schooling system. most people don’t choose to not live in an area they can purchase the right food, not be able to afford it, not have enough time to exercise or sleep, they don’t choose to bankrupt themselves for an education and stress over the money we have to spend for the most basic stuff like a degree and a yearly checkup. we can’t all go see dermatologists. there’s so much in science that we just still don’t know, so there might be more to this than even the most professional of professionals understand. having acne isn’t anyone’s fault. it’s not like they haven’t tried to get rid of it, tried all your simple fixes to no avail. sorry for the rant but rlly what i mean is it’s still not as simple as “you need to go on a diet”
the fact that people still disagree with this is astounding 😢. obviously, lifestyle factors play a role and for some people, fixing those can change the skin condition. but for everyone not suffering from acne who never has, their lifestyles are rarely any better. my friend with the clearest skin ever literally survives off of fried chicken and burgers, overeats, NEVERR exercises, doesn’t wear sunscreen, only cleanses once a day with NO moisturizer, basically doesn’t ever care for their skin. they don’t have to. their body doesn’t freak out when they put it through stuff. mine does. i don’t even know if that’s gonna fix it. and i started ranting again but yeah, i hate how many people are like “just wash your face” 😂 when they know literally nothing
As a teenager, I really needed this message. And I hope that everyone else agrees that everyone's skin is different. 💖
35 and still battling acne! Thank you for bringing awareness!!
Not even benzoyl peroxide, tretinoin and salicylic acid?
@@mayamorabito1669 I have tried everything. The only thing that helps is not eating sugar. My face clears up if I stop sugar.

I feel u. Im not a teenager yet either and i have acne. I feel sort of an embarrasment and feel like people are always looking at me and judging my acne. But then i realise when i see people w acne i never ever think of it or judge them or think theyre not clean".
@Itz_Tuana this. I've had acne since I was 9 and still do. I used to always think people were looking at my "ugly" acne filled face. It's gotten better over the years, and I've recently realized how much happier I am when I don't care about what I think people think about my face. Yes, I still want to get rid of my acne, but I've learned to love myself and accept the fact that it isn't going to randomly disappear one day. ❤
I really needed this. This is like a big hug to my younger self. I've always had dry, sensitive, acne prone skin. Which is just a FaNtAsTiC combination 🥴
Moisturing broke me out, and products made for acne made my skin crack and flake. I just felt gross; my extended family always pointed out my skin at family gatherings. My skin was on display 24/7, and I felt so uncomfortable and angry with myself. I was able to get my skin under control with the help of a dermatologist. But to this day, I stress out if I break out (which is typically hormonal acne now) and see all the scarring, so seeing messages like this are a breath of fresh air for my mind and soul.
Thank you so much ❤️
i relate to this a lot, i have really flaky and oily skin (yes, somehow it's both) and i have a lot of acne- and a lot of products have just made it worse- plus makeup also breaks me out so i can't even cover it up. so i know how u feel and im so sorry this stuff happens to you :((
I have exactly the same problem as you both!! Like idk how I have oil acne prone skin that’s also dry and flaky but it’s here and it’s so horrible sometimes but I’m learning to hate it less ty for making me feel less alone x
I feel you. Me too =/
Plus I have also suffer from dyshidrotic eczema, wow
@@JoanKSX oh no that's terrible :( one of my friends has eczema and it seems like such a burden. i'm so sorry you have to deal with all that.
My acne is like this, i'd like to go to a dermatologist but the process man
Life is too short to care about these kind of things. Make the best of what you got. You go girl
We need more people like thid
as someone that suffered from years of cystic acne, this would have been such a big comfort for me. working on your health is of course always a priority but having something to tide your feelings over is also crucial. it’s hard when you meet people and what they see first is your deepest physical insecurity.
so relatable 😢 it’s so hard to cure acne too when you’re stressing about it (and other things). i can do the diet, water, exercise, skincare, and even the sleep to an extent (despite having ADHD related insomnia since literally forever) but the stress management is where i fall short every time.
Thank you for spreading awareness about this. I’m in middle school, and I have acne, yet I feel like nobody my age is struggling with it like I am. These kinds of videos just make me feel like I belong ❤
But I am struggling with acne in middle school.But I am good now Alhamdulla .Bcz I lost my acne 😊😊
I’m in high school and still struggle with acne so remember you’re not alone, we will overcome it one day
thank you so much 😭i struggle with acne a lot and lots of flat acne patches and scarring. it’s annoying because last week it was totally clear and then boom i totally broke out and my face is insane. I feel so insecure about it and ads are always shoving down perfect skin into my face. thanks so much for this ❤
I feel the saaaamee😞😞
I am a man and yes it hurts my self esteem too. I get it around my forehead and t zone. Getting shots their helped a lot.
Girl same but also, Panoxyl. It’s been a week and alllll my cystic acne from my chin is practically gone and I’m never acne free, ever 😻
@@Daazeee thank you so much 🥰
And there are also instances when you never had acne when you were a teenager but started developing an acne prone skin when u were in your mid twenties. Like what happened to me. Thank you for showing realistic views of acne. Keep shining your glow! 🥰
Your openness is so needed in this world.
I struggle with adult acne, too. I thought it would go away after my teen years were over, but it didn't. I spent years not knowing why I had to suffer from adult acne, too. I suspected it was caused by an imbalance of hormones, but I wasn't certain. Years later, my OGYN told me i had PCOS. The PCOS caused my hormones to be imbalanced. So now, I've learned to accept it and use skincare products to manage my acne with realistic expectations. I recommend you get checked for PCOS. It doesn't solve your acne problem, but there's a sense of relief knowing the cause of your adult acne.
I had acne since I was in 6th standard and my mom used to tell me it will go away and I'll have a perfect skin when I'll be older but no I still have it. No matter how many products I used to get rid of my acne, I changed my diet, no matter I eat healthy but It still exist. So now I kinda accepted that it will never go away and I'll have to live with it. Sometimes I feel low when I see other girls same of my age with a perfect skin but thn I just think that I have different kind of skin and that's fine. It's totally normal having acne. And seeing you so comfortable with your acne and talking about it in such platform you really boosting confidence of so many.
Me too started having acne around 12-13 and now I’m 19 and still struggle with it
My acne only went away when I finally stopped using products on my face. No makeup, no face washes, no peelings, no creams. Within a year it was all gone. Now I only use water and a light cream. I still get breakouts from time to time, but nothing as terrible as when I was using all those products that just irritated my skin more. Best thing you can do against acne is use minimal or no skin care products and most of all hands off of makeup until it has healed.
Same here suffered years teething to have a clear skin used expensive products it was all making it worse changed products at last pears face wash Nivea moisturiser and retinol skin cream helped
I am 19 years old and I am going through difficult days because of my acne condition and I want to thank you because after watching this video I really feel better about myself❤
Thank you for your video, and I hope that one day everyone will understand that acne and pimples are normal and know that those who are involved in these problems definitely want to have good and healthy skin, so stop reminding them that their skin is not in a good condition💔
i thought for a long time my acne wouldn't go away, its finally better, but when i had it very bad it was so embarrassing that i didnt want to even go see my friends because i thought they would judge me. im so happy its almost over. the rudest comment i ever got that offended me was " do you even wash your face " i tried so hard to get rid of it because i cared what people thought about me
It doesn’t matter at all. You look gorgeous with or without acne, so you don’t have to worry about it.
I dont even have acne, i only have a few pimples and my friend told me several times “you have so many pimples it looks like your face is about to explode” like girl i dont even have that many 💀 and then i told her “you have too” and she said “yeah, well, atleast mine go away, not like yours” then i told her “mine go away too” and she said “yeah sure 🙄”
Like wtf 💀💀
drop her
My 9yo cousin makes fun of us for our acne like- "girl I can't wait until you hit puberty and suffer like us 😤"
That’s not a friend
I have redness with pimples scars but I have hormonal acne I break out because of my hormones only like 6 pimples on my face.
You mean ex-friend right?
I honestly think acne is cute which people will say I’m lying, but I just don’t think it looks “ugly” like people make it out to be. I think you are so beautiful and I wish the world showed real skin and everyone saw acne as beautiful
My teen acne didnt go away. Im actually very angry at my mother for not taking me to GP to get it sorted out. When I turned 18, I got the contraceptive pill and it was a game changer. Horrendous boils and painful acne gone within a month. I used it until 35 when GP said the risk of clots and boob cancer became too great and refused to prescribe it. My acne returned. Im 40 now with on-going adult acne. It's hormonal and just forms hard painful cysts along my chin and jawline every month. It takes 3 weeks for the cysts to go. Just in time for the next one!
you don’t know how many faces you just put a smile on- you go girl keep being you acne is completely normal embrace yourself
This is not normal acne guys. I’ve known so many people who had those exact same bumps, they’re extremely painful. Up until they got themselves blood tested and turned out that they were allergic to certain types of common foods that they used to casually consume. Could be as simple as strawberries, shrimps or cheese. Get checked and be safe 💗
Which blood test can be done to figure this out??
@@aqsa7279 just a simple allergies blood test, usually asked for by dieticians 🫶🏻 I think it’s called an IgE test
I had teenage acne and adult acne. Around the age of 33, my face finally cleared up. So, I had to deal with acne for 20 freaking years.
36 here. 26 years of acne and it's just never gotten any better. I'm okay and finally stopped trying every single treatment, diet and medicine. But society is brutal and people judge. Lost job opportunities because people thought I was an addict. (Some drugs give people bad skin apparently?)
@@jrr2045 sorry to hear that. It's true that drugs deteriorate your body. Men who suffer from adult acne, it's because of testosterone. Women's is because of hormones. Antibiotics might help, have you tried advice from a doctor or dermatologist?
@@jrr2045 what do you eat daily?
Thank you so much, I have felt so insecure about my acne. You just made my day way better. It’s people like you who help strangers like me.❤
Please people, do food allergy and tolerance test. Milk and peanut cause acne. A lot of people have issues because of what they eat. No mater what you use if you don’t take out the root cause it will keep coming back
we need more people like you here, even though now my acne isn't bad and i can cover it up easily when i need to, but I'm still happy to see someone supporting others with the same problem
We need to be like her...
Mashaallah you’re so beautiful with and without acne keep shining sister❤❤❤
Hear me out
My face used to look like yours when I was a freshman in high school. I tried literally everything, and then I got on Acutane, or isotretinoin for the medical community. My face cleared up after nine months and, let me tell you, it was a massive relief! What I had was cystic acne, and isotretinoin is basically super-concentrated vitamin A.
Ive had acne forever and your content really helps me feel more normal. Sometimes i cling to it like a life raft.
I always felt so dismissed when people would tell me “it will go away when you’re older.” I was already 19-20 at the time, not 14 and having occasional typical breakouts. It was severe, cystic adult acne. It was hard on me mentally and emotionally and I always felt like no one understood. If you have acne, just know I understand!! ❤
My acne did eventually get better due to finding the right meds (and going off hormonal birth control actually) and getting older. But I still have more acne than most late-20s adults.
Girl! Where tf were you 2 years ago! Ugh I almost took my life because of my skin. I got on antibiotics and now my face is getting better and better everyday! I’m so glad I found you, that means no other girls/guys have to struggle in silence like I did
Know you aren’t talking to me but glad you are still here ❤️❤️
Cringe
@@Daniel-im6vh very Insightful
Thank u girl for ur words❤ , as a teenager suffering from acne i needed so bad to hear this cuz none of the treatments i go thru seems to work , and i find acceptance is the only key to go on with life .
Your beautiful don’t worry I’m 12 and I have ance as well but nothing makes I go away.
Remember we are all with you❤❤😢
Thanks so much for posting this! Its really encouraging to see other people lifting others up. I have acne,and i am really insecure and i feel like it makes me look ugly. This has made me feel more loving towards my face,and that I’m not alone! Thanks again for posting this!
Love yourself for who you are ❤
But I wish I could tell my younger self to seek out help from specialist skin clinics earlier like SK:N. They cost a fair bit but they are better than NHS dermatologists (ps make sure you go to your drs about it if it affects you).
My husband got adult acne, he feels really unattractive even though he's gorgeous. He feels like he looks gross, even though I'm pretty sure none of us actually look at a person and think "WOW they are so disgusting because they have acne!"
Just remember that you're your own worst critic. No one is actually judging your appearance because you have acne. Only insecure teens do that to others.
what name of your country!!
As a 43-year-old woman who still gets breakouts and remembers thinking that it would go away during adulthood, I feel this deep in my soul. I did a round of Accutane several years ago, and it helped immensely, but I still get the occasional break out.
I had acne as a teen and Accutane crushed it! Never had problems after that. One odd side effect was that I could no longer wear earrings of any kind. Even clip ons. My ears would get infected immediately?! Good trade off though!
As somebody who has acne since they were 8 yrs old this might actually be why I got acne so early. Thank you for speaking out about this! ❤
I think i really needed to hear this. I just started a new acne treatment because im on hormone therapy and my acne is painful, but even the times its not, i feel judged for having it
You are strong!💪 I also have problems with acne, It is hard sometimes, and when I was little bit younger I was so sad because I have it and nobody else have it. But now I know it’s ok to have it, and I feel so much better whit my skin now. And your videos really help me when I have it really hard❤️❤️💪
I was nine when I got acne and at that age know one had it and I was the only one I have gone through so much medical stuff and basically tried everything to get rid of it I am now 16 and still suffering with horrible back, chest and face acne and terrible scaring and some times I feel like know one understand what we go through. When I see people with clear skin I pray that one day I could be them walking so constantly but I still wake up every morning with lots and lots of spots and blackheads and I realy don’t know what to do. When I see u posting this it fills me with so much joy that others experience it to thank you for putting sunshine in my darkness.
I once had someone come up to me and recommen products to me, it has given me so much anxiety going out cause I felt super embarrassed and became even more resistant to going places do to the anxiety of having someone come and give their opinion on something to help. Personally when masks had to be worn I was very happy cause it covered most my face so I felt more comfortable being out in public cause no one could see.
I just started acutane because I’ve been feeling so alone with my years of acne recently… thank you for reminding me I’m not alone 💓🥺
I needed this, really, thank you 🥺❣️
I really appreciate series like Young Royals in which some of the main actors/actresses have acne and they are still absolutely beautiful and lovable
Really? I didn't know that, which character?
@@v.m.e.6641 For starters the main character, Prince Wilhelm! and also Felice :))
Acne, often stigmatized as ugly and bad, deserves a nuanced perspective that appreciates its complexity and the individuals it affects. While society often portrays clear skin as the epitome of beauty, it's crucial to challenge this notion and embrace the diversity of human appearances.
Firstly, acne is a common skin condition affecting millions worldwide, irrespective of age, gender, or ethnicity. Its prevalence underscores the need to normalize it rather than stigmatize those who experience it. By acknowledging acne as a normal part of the human experience, we can foster empathy and understanding rather than judgment and shame.
Furthermore, acne does not define a person's worth or beauty. Beauty is multifaceted, encompassing not only physical appearance but also character, kindness, and resilience. Those with acne often demonstrate remarkable strength in navigating societal pressures and embracing self-love despite external judgments.
Moreover, the portrayal of clear skin as the ideal is not only unrealistic but also harmful. It perpetuates unrealistic beauty standards that can lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, and even mental health issues. By challenging these standards and celebrating diversity in appearance, we promote inclusivity and acceptance.
Additionally, acne should be viewed through a lens of health rather than aesthetics. While it can be frustrating and uncomfortable, it is primarily a medical condition that requires understanding and support. By prioritizing skincare education, access to treatment, and destigmatizing conversations about acne, we empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being.
In conclusion, acne is not inherently ugly or bad. It is a common, treatable skin condition that should be met with empathy, understanding, and support. By challenging societal beauty standards and embracing diversity, we can create a more inclusive and compassionate world for all.
I’m crying watching this cideo. I wish I heard this when I was in my 20s 😭😭😭 thank you for this
To anyone who this might help, I did about 10 liver flushes (adreas moritz versions) and cleared my acne for life when I was 21. As a teenager we develop acne in part because of hormonal overload which the liver cannot keep up with and some people have lower functioning livers to begin with, as well as livers that are overwhelmed by the other toxins present in the food supply and other modern day things.
For some the lessened load of hormones in adulthood is enough to give their liver the upper hand, for others (like myself) this wasn’t the case.
For those who are open to it I’d highly recommend addressing your acne from the inside out. The REAL way to clean your liver is the liver flush, not some pill you can buy at the store.
P.S. You can test run if clearing your liver would help by taking milk thistle (take a standardized extract like Nature’s way) and seeing if it clears your skin a bit, before diving into and committing to the liver flush!
This is not the point of this video.
Our skin type is rare thats why we are always pointed out,I appreciate you for owning your skin type ,thqt gives me confidence
It slows down the rate of oils produced into your pores when your older so yes it doesent go away but it gets smaller amount unless you just never did skin care as a teenager
NO ITS NOT OKAY
your skin is telling you something is wrong inside your body & no that’s not a skin type
it's a medical condition that ruins many people's confidence and mental health, have some sympathy. acne doesn't have a quick or easy fix for everyone, believe it or not. in some cases (including mine) acne is caused by a chronic illness. that stuff doesn't magically disappear with diet and lifestyle changes.
I'm just commenting to help the algorithm because this needs to be heard 💜
Thank you so much for this, I’ve always struggled with insecurities, especially acne. But thanks to you I feel comfortable with it now :) Everyone is beautiful and perfect the way they are! You All shine
I know that nobody will probably see this, but I am in grade 7 and the only person that has pimples, and I cry every time someone tells me that. I wish people were nicer too me. And thxx for the message
thanks for saying that, but other people don't understand that, we need more people like you in the world 😭
This brought me to tears because of how relatable and true it is
The truth is acne never does go away but it can become better over time. I had bad acne for a long time and now that I'm 17, its really cleared up now because I simply ate less sugary foods, exercised every day, and most important of all, drank lots and lots of apple cider vinegar and lemon water. Some people have acne for a long time and i feel lucky it didn't last long.
Something that really helped me to start loving my skin type was when I started having art lessons in school and we were learning about the fundamentals of art, one of these fundamentals being texture. I started to realise that my body is a work of art and that it is perfectly okay not to have smooth skin - the acne on my skin simply added texture and interest to the art piece of my body. I hope that makes sense and that I am explaining it well enough😅.
Anyways here's just a little reminder that every bit of acne, every stretch mark, every scar and every blemish on your body ENHANCES your beauty and is simply another unique addition to the art piece that is your body❤❤❤! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET IT❤❤❤!!
I’m literally going through this rn 😭 thank you girl! ❤️
To be honest when I was younger and still to this day I think of acne as a gift because it gives detail and beauty to someone’s face
I constantly feel so ugly with acne id do anything for it to go away. I absolutely hate myself bc I’m an ugly person and acne just makes it so much worse. I’ve never hated myself more. I’m only 14 years old and I get bullied for acne and being overall and ugly person and I’ve never felt so alone and disgusted with myself. I rather be alone than with people bc I always feel like they’re judging me for my acne and horrible features.
I just wanna tell you that you are not ugly and your acne would probably go away with the right skin product.so dont listen to those people who bully you for havin acne,your beautiful just the way you are.Nothing make a girl more beautiful than her imperfections.im 13 BTW and i hope you see my reply.bye
@@Liora-j4r oh my gosh your so sweet!! Your words really helped me realized a lot. You’re so beautiful and kind. ♥️♥️
@@MountainLivi Thank you very much and dont forget live your life the way you want
As a 10 year old with acea this is the first video that bring confidence to it or that it is ok
How tf are you 10 with acne ? 😂
Wtf Why did this make me tear up🥺💗
you’re so beautiful! also my advice for the comment watchers is if your acne doesn’t go away it’s helpful to cut gluten, milk and eggs out of your diet for a month and see how it affects your skin. if you’re past puberty and you don’t take any medication that changes your hormones or you don’t have a skin condition, your acne could be caused by food intolerance or allergies. acne was always okay and it always will be, people just need to mind their own business and stop commenting on other people’s skin!❤
edit: you can also take one at a time for example you can cut out gluten for three weeks then diary products for three weeks then eggs for three weeks. that’s what i did and turns out my body hates diary. you can also do this when you’re still in puberty, you can never start treating your well too soon💗
Very true about diet. Dairy is the big one for me.
as a person who is young and has acne and gets rude comments from people all the time like “people aren’t pretty with pimples” im deeply affected by it you’ve really helped me be happy with my skin, and im actually going to go see a dermatologist for it so thank you xx (also your gorgeous I’ve always thought people with pimples were pretty or even acne scarring I think it’s beautiful)
It’s not a scar. It’s a splash of color. ❤
Personally when I see someone with acne I find they look beautiful with it. It’s not something that’s necessarily good for you because it means something isn’t working properly and it shouldn’t be ignored but it doesn’t take beauty away, it adds beauty.
Having inflammation on the skin adds beauty? What other diseases you find making people better looking?
@@annaagapova3583 I very clearly said it’s not good and by no means should be ignored, I just think that sometimes people do look good with it but of course it should be taken care of. I apologize that my opinion bothered you, but of course it’s my opinion, not everyones.
@@Rockconsoomerbut in my case it's completely different..although I've mild acne on my skin..but my mum talks about it a lot because no girl in my family has acne..this bothers and hurts me a lot at the same time 😣
So true when I was 11 I started developing acne and all my classmates started asking what the bumps were on my face and it made feel so insecure.. thank you❤
I’m 12 years old. I don’t struggle with Acne. I have never seen your channel before. But the first thing I noticed before you acne was I thought. “ wow this girl is gorgeous I want to be like her when I’m older” ❤
You just got a new subscriber, I needed this thank you 😊
I just wanna tell you that you look so pretty, you look stunning! And thank you for reminding me that acne is ok!!
-New sub!!
oh my... I always thought the acne was an imperfection... But you're rocking it! you know this gives me a little bit of hope that I can rock mine too :)
no bc ur strawberry freckles are actually so fricking cute girl ❤❤❤
lets be honest, shes ✨gorgeous✨
Acne is hormonal. Most of the time if you have acne/hormonal imbalance, it won’t go away until the problem is corrected. If you have it as a teen, the hormone imbalance will continue in your adult years, until it’s fixed. No amount of products, or waiting for it to clear, will work. Well, except retinoid creams will work.
Some skincare products can cause acne too.
this feels like such backhanded rude advice, maybe it's just me though
It’s up to someone’s choice if they want to get rid of their acne. I never struggled with acne but I hav eczema. Any skin condition shouldn’t be like “oh it’s ok” it’s good to check if it’s under your control, that’s up to you if you wanna keep it that way or actually work on it. Yes it will take effort and yes acne can go away. You just have to try. My friend has acne and she’s been working on it and her skin is definitely improving. But at the end of the day, it’s your decision.
Edit: as long as your health isn’t on some sort of danger or something, treating your acne is up to you
This made me cry happy tears. It is so refreshing to see someone like me. Although I’m a 14 year old with severe acne I can relate to always being told it will go away. Thank you so much.❤
I needed to see this so bad. I don't have acne at the moment but I have a lot of acne scars and I hated them but you've taught me to love them
That's everything I needed to hear today ❤
