Ive always had clear skin, until I was 12 when I got hundreds of tiny flesh coloured spots all over my forehead and only on my forehead. I was told this was just teenage acne caused by hormones so I left it. Im now 18 and Im really tired of it. I was put on zineryt which helped a little for about a week and then became useless. I tried salicylic acid which didnt help at all (I have combination/dry skin) so I tried moisturising all the time with a moisturiser by The Ordinary and using a lactic acid by the same company because I read that I have to exfoliate but I havent noticed any difference. I tried charcoal and some cleansers that claim to help remove acne. Ive spent so much money on things that just wont budge it. It doesnt even get worse, it just stays the same. I dont have a fringe or bangs that could aggravate it, I dont eat too much sugar or dairy, in fact I eat very healthily, I always have. I honestly dont have a clue what it could be or how to cure it and its really bothering me now. When I put on makeup its really noticeable that my skin is bumpy. I live far away from any dermatologists and online doctors havent been much help. If youve read all the way down this then thank you for your patience and PLEASE help me! X
Hey, good you are reaching out, this can be a hard time for you I think. But stay in there
So I would suggest to go caveman on this one, healthy diet (message me for tips) and a healthy lifestyle. And cut out all serums except for moisturizer for hydrating the skin.
I know this can be fixed, and you will get better!
Take care
Ive always eaten healthily though, Im more likely to go for fruits and veg than sugar any day. And I drink detox juices. Im always very active, I really dont know what else I can do. Thank you for the advice on serum though, thats helpful. I was using a serum by Vichy but Ill cut that out and just moisturise
