A letter to those with imperfect skin

Hey ladies!

 

So in today's post I am going to talk about my skin. I want to be honest with my blog so I have included some lovely pictures of me make up free and with my blemished skin for you to enjoy ;)

 

This post is quite nerve wracking as I am going to be letting you see me with no make-up!! I didn't just want to write about  my skin without showing you pictures so here we go...

 

Deep breaths......while uploading these pictures lol!

 

For years I have suffered with my skin and it has always  made me so self conscious. I also have lovely scars from squezzing my spots :(

 

I know so many women and men deal with acne and breakouts everyday and it can stop you from being the confident, outgoing person that you should be.
 

It took me years to accept that I would never have perfect skin. I am still not 100% ok with that fact but I always say to myself that there are people out there that suffer from a lot worse.

 

Now I know I don't have the worst skin in the world and some people have it a lot worse than I do, but it still gets me down and it annoys me that I can't seem to get rid of it.

 

But I am now dedicating myself to a strict skin care regime (which I will do a post on soon), make-up free days and also making some changes to my diet to help me improve my skin.

I want to say to those of you who suffer with bad skin like I do, don't let bad skin take control of you. Don't let it get you down (I know easier said than done) but serously...

 

 YOU are beautiful!!!!

 

Stop putting yourself down because you are not perfect like the air brushed models in magazines.

 

What makes you beautiful is the confidence you have within yourself , the smile you carry on your face and the love you have in your heart! <3 

I will post up what ways I am helping my skin heal from these nasty breakouts and hopefully help you guys do the same.

 

Lets work on getting our skin looking better instead of aiming for the impossible perfect!!

 

Love,
