4 Tips to Have Confidence with Acne

We are all on our own journey of loving the skin we’re in. With acne, we’re not only impacted by the way it looks on our faces but also how we feel on the inside about it. It can be hard to feel and be confident when we’re dealing with something that’s in plain view.

Acne is a skin condition that many people have struggled with at some stage, and it can dramatically affect one’s confidence. But acne doesn’t have to rule your life! Here are a few tips for improving your outlook, which may lead to better self-esteem and even acceptance. You are much more than your acne. Confidence comes from knowing who you are as a person and that you deserve the best life has to offer.

Look to Your Role Models

Body-positive and acne-acceptance advocates believe everyone should feel at home in their own skin. They spread their message to the world through social media to give other people like them hope. Find those people—they are your tribe. They know that accepting your skin despite acne or scars is a process that takes a lot of self-love and patience.

Use Good Cosmetics

Using sub-par cosmetics and skin care products can contribute to problematic skin because those companies don’t take as much care into what goes into their products. Find your go-to brands that care about the health of your skin and make products designed to give you your glow back. A gentle, natural acne treatment may help you to regain confidence.

Know you Are Doing the Best You Can

Everyone is good at doling out advice, even if they’ve never struggled with acne themselves. Even though friends and family can be well-meaning, keep on your path of finding a regimen that works for you and your skin. You can tell others that you are working with your dermatologist to get appropriate treatment. You know better than anyone that you are doing your best and actively trying to manage your skin.

Know That You’re Beautiful

Acne or not, you are beautiful inside and out. You are not flawed! And you’re not alone. In fact, up to 55% of adults between 20-40 have oily skin and persistent acne. Also, 54% of women over 25 years old have some facial acne, according to the Journal of American Academy of Dermatology.

On your journey to building self-confidence and owning the skin you’re in, remember you are unstoppable. Love who looks back at you in the mirror. Just remember that all of your makeup and skin care products, from natural acne treatment to natural mascara to foundation to blush, should be nonirritating, non-pore clogging, and not contain harsh synthetic chemicals. Read the ingredients list and find a brand you can get behind.

Let’s say you aren’t into face paint, gems, or glitter, but you’re totally into festival fashion and magical makeup. As you plan for your next outdoor music extravaganza, you’ll not only want to think about how your makeup is going to look in the first picture but also how well it’s going to hold up for the next several hours of dancing in the hot sun. Here are a few tips for keeping your face fresh and fly at a festival this summer. And when it comes to looking great from start to finish, sometimes less is more. Let’s look at the basics. Pucker Up with Lip Scrub There’s nothing worse than chapped lips. Lips are often overlooked, and they are often the first thing to take a beating in the heat, which is why it’s important to prime them with a sweet, exfoliating lip scrub with nourishing ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E. Lip-softening brown sugar and refreshing peppermint oil are must-have ingredients as well. Your lips will feel smooth, pampered, and ready f

Tips and Tricks to Nail That Bright-Eyed Look Every Time

Whether you just didn’t get the recommended eight hours of beauty sleep or you’re ending the week running on fumes, fatigue seems to show up in the worst place: our face. Feeling tired is bad enough, but the added dark circles, puffy eyes, and the innocuous yet dreaded, “you look tired” comment will make anyone want to run and hide. Fortunately, an extra hour or two of sleep each night, combined with these easy makeup tricks can transform that haggard look into bright-eyed perfection. Chill Out We don’t mean relax, though that’s always encouraged. One of the best ways to reduce the appearance of puffy under eye bags is with a cool compress. A bag of ice, chilled spoons, frozen tea bags, or cold cucumber or potato slices can help reduce the swelling and puffiness around your eyes. Prep Your Skin After a cool compress, it’s important to prep the delicate skin under your eyes with powerful ingredients that hydrate, nourish, and brighten. Look for eye creams t

A How-to Guide for Finding Your Perfect Foundation

Image
Think of a foundation in the literal sense: a base on which other structures are created. In engineering, a foundation can be the base of a wall or building frame. In science, it’s the starting point of problem-solving and the scientific method. Even the game of Solitaire uses the concept of foundation as the base card on which other cards are added according to suit. The same premise applies to your makeup. Your foundation is the base upon which you create your entire look, and you don’t want to start with an unstable base. Just as different buildings will require different foundations, your skin requires different products based on your unique skin type. While figuring out which foundation to use can be tricky, try to match your foundation types based upon your individual skin goals. Conceal and Blend If you have acne-prone skin, you struggle with inflammation or hyperpigmentation, or you’re sensitive to fragrances, preservatives, and additives, a full cove
