• 🌸 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒆 🌸 this my face taking lymecycline (antibiotics) this is my face taking trimethoprim (antibiotics) this is my face using prescription based retinols this is my face using only the photo booth filter from @acolorstory, no brightening, no blurring, no nothing ➡️ swipe to see how i wish i could show my skin on a daily basis 🙈 i've wrote and rewrote this a million times and still almost didn't post it. why is showing -actual- skin something that makes people anxious? is it because it's been so ingrained in us that the best version of you, the one you can present to the world is the one that's been through 100 different filters and apps that get rid of natural skin texture, which everyone has by the way, despite what the internet would have you believe. stress is a massive trigger for me and at present i seem to be stuck in the vicious circle of getting stressed about stuff ➡️ my skin flares up ➡️ i stress about my skin ➡️ my skin flares up. rinse, lather and repeat. at 31 i shouldn't still be having these issues but i am. and not posting about it makes me feel a little inauthentic if i'm honest as it's something i know people struggle with, especially people my age - but no one seems to talk about it. as it stands right now this is my skin, it's the only one i've got and i'm doing my best to be more comfortable within it. 🖤
