Regardless of age, acne can be a something that can stay with you long into adulthood, with new hormones pumping through your body during the teenage years , it can make you feel insecure, I went through a stage of having them and that's when I began exfoliating, moisturising and pretty much looking after my skin properly! I have super sensitive skin so after trying many products I finally came across a perfect moisturiser which really helped! Aside from that I've been rather lucky with my skin, but there are so many people out there who suffer with bad skin and acne, it doesn't just affect the exterior but can really affect the person on the inside, knocking their confidence and making them feel insecure! There are things you can do to help though, starting a skincare routine of moisurizing, exfoliating and maybe even toning can all help reduce spots, making sure you take off your makeup EVERY night will prevent your pores from staying clogged too!
You can also visit your doctor who may prescribe you a special cream to soothe and calm down the irritated areas, especially good if you suffer with mild acne! I definitely don't recommend buying products from the internet, they can cause more harm than good so please steer clear :).
If you've tried everything to help your skin and still after years of having little or no difference, it might be time to visit a dermatologist, they can analyze your skin more in depth and determine the next course of action, in some occasions it can mean laser treatment, don't let the word 'laser' put you off, it's a simple and pain free solution to getting your confidence back, even if you've not had acne for many years, you may have been left with some acne scarring, this is also perfect for you! It might take around 6 weeks before you start to see a difference but as soon as you do, you'll feel a bit more like yourself again, the most well known prices are actually very affordable too so don't worry about breaking the bank!
Maybe for Christmas you could ask for money towards it too? Sk:n have a few promotions on at the moment which might be helpful to you!
