Lesson from my breakout phase

Since february, my skin has been skinning. Everything went on differently than before. My skin is broken: acnes, flaws, dark spots, big pores, dull, and any other skin problems. I was freaking out and panicking, because I've never experienced this before and I didn't try weird products on my face! I just used basic skincare as usual. I do get acne, but only at some moments, not sustained. However, it's been happening in me until now. 


I've been struggling on repairing my skin and hopefully it'd get better soon. Because personally, eventho I have a bad day wholly, if I have a good skin (we don't talk about face structure) I'll be happy and fine. I had consulted with dermatologist on halodoc. You know when decided to give all of your skin problems to a skin expert or doctor, you'd be recommended on using a strong medication and supplements. Then, based on my experience, my skin got more rampage because I was purging. I had expected it before I took a schedule with my doctor, so it's fine. But, along the way, my skin got worse and worse beyond my purging phase. I knew that because I compared my skin condition at the first and late consultion. 


Afterwards, I stopped that medical thingy and started using basic skincare only. I know you want to complain on my inconsistent struggle righttt. So, here are some of my lessons I learned:


1. I’ve never felt enough on what I have. Wanting to have more, to change more, and forgetting to do the important part—be grateful. I realized that my previous skin was better than now, however, I remember at that time I was expecting to have a more beautiful and flawless skin. Sad tho, to always hope for a better skin, try a lot of skincare, waste my money, being inconsistent, being FOMO over my friends in fact I know our skin type is different. Ah, back then I was having an insecurity about my face structure, and today I’ve accepted my face but still dealing with my skin. 


2. My mind has taken over my confident because it made me afraid of meeting people. I was worrying about how my people would react, how’d my family will comment on me. In fact, it’s inevitable. Yes, my family did that in front of my face then suggesting everything and blaming my habits (I don’t want to have this either). Did you know what the surprising yet irritating part is? They will always have something to comment on us and we can’t control that. So, my W take is to ignore them while still be respectful because that’s one of (actually) many ways how they show their love for us.
