(going to the doctor, cleansing and moisturizing twice a day, drinking water, etc) Don´t put yourself down, even because makeup can´t and doesn´t hide all the skins imperfections. Try to reduce what you use, foundations and concealers ruin your skin- it´s not a myth.

Good points here, thank you Sofialuv I'm actually seeing a derm in a couple of days. But in the past few weeks I have also decided to try and stop being so self conscious, and learn to get out of the house without all the makeup. I really don't know if it's in my head or if others really see me as gross as I feel - but I decided that whatever the case, it's time for me to grow up a bit and train myself not to worry too much about what people think. Most of all, I have to stop associating all my self-worth (is that a word?) with my looks! I can't say I feel any prettier, but I think I've grown some balls when it comes to not looking picture-perfect all the bloody time
