Skincare Routine & Advice For Adult Acne

People have been asking me what I did to help clear up my acne. So I'll share: I've been struggling with a pretty bad case of adult acne for the past 8 months. I went to a dermatologist and it got much worse at first (about 3 months), but it's been rapidly clearing up ever since! My skin is oily-combination and quite sensitive to some facial cleansers, almost all liquid foundations, and some cosmetic powders etc.

Everyone has different skin, but I do hope that this can help some of those out there dealing with a surprise attack of acne in their early 20's.

You talked about not judging those who've got skin problems such as adult acne, and I could not agree with you more. I've struggled with a minuscule form of adult acne since I was 19 and before that my skin had been perfect. I was more careful and adamant about taking care of my skin when my skin was worse and yet people would still tell me, "Oh, you should wash your face every day." As if I'm not already doing that? Don't judge people!

@MonroeComplex Yeah people would think that I was careless and didn't take care of my skin. But sometimes the people with the most amazing skin don't even wash it! They're just lucky! :) Judging people is defs wrong!

I agree with what you said about how we wash our face twice everyday and acne still happens... its quite frustrating when my friends see me and ask "what happened to your face!??!?!" =/ and it sort of made me teared at the end of your video =(. I've been wanting to see a dermatologist but my mum insist that the ointments they give will cause my skin to thin and blah blah blah... sigh

@purplydreamz You should definitely try going to a dermatologist! Acne really is just a combination of many things! It's not just as simple as "wash your face". I actually used to feel so sensitive if people talked to me about my acne too but now that its clear I feel really liberated! I am glad you could relate to this video! Never feel like you're alone in the acne struggle! It sucks but there is medicine/creams out there that can help! (it won't thin your skin either.)

@babyLixian guess what! i told my mum that no matter what, i will see the dermatologist to see what is wrong! =] i am going to book an appt! so excited haha.

@purplydreamz Yayyy! Hope it works out for you! It did wonders for me after (3 months). :) Just stick with it!

Thanks for the video. I've been dealing with acne for seems like forever. I know I'm not the only one but its nice to actually hear other peoples stories. By the way you are really pretty.

my skin is freaking out. i had really good skin, until around april and i've done and tried every thing, every product out there, eating healthy, detoxing etc... right now i'm taking acne-d, which is a supplement/vitamin. my acne is worse! i'm hoping it's just purging all the bad stuff from my skin and will get better.

right now my skin is at it's worse and i'm so self conscious about it. i don't even want to go out it's so bad. thank you for sharing your story!

Thanks for the video. It's good to see people with acne being confident and such like.

Unfortunately acne, as we all know, is a complete bitch and lots of different things seem to work for different people.
