Skin Acceptance

From my teenage years to early 20s, I spent way too much emotional energy trying to "control" my skin hour by hour, day by day. Rather than finding enjoyment and beauty in the present moment, I established routines to cover up my acne and experienced tremendous anxiety about how other may perceive my skin.

Skin anxiety is a real thing that doesn’t get talked about enough. The constant consumption of content that shows “perfect skin” doesn’t help either. Skin is designed to ebb and flow because we are living beings!

It’s important to me that your relationship with your skin and body is a positive one. I understand from experience how difficult it can be at times. A few ways to help with this journey is (1) criticizing our skin less, (2) consuming real content, and (3) nourishing our skin rather than over-treating it.

Want to know what real skin (even healthy skin at times) can look like? Pores. Texture. Several breakouts. Uneven complexion. Hyperpigmentation. Let’s normalize real skin!
