I’ve been breaking out a lot lately due to stress and now have mild acne scarring. I’m super insecure about my skin right now. Been seeing this guy (not official) for about two months now and always wear subtle makeup when I’m with him. I guess he noticed and asked me last night before bed if I was going to remove my makeup. Felt so embarrassed😞 . Wondering if this has been a turn off for him or I’m just overthinking it.
Any recs for acne scar creams? TIA

Not a cream but I’ve noticed that when I use hydrocolloid bandages on them at night it helps them fade faster! And of course using sunscreen daily.

As it relates to dating, I’ve had acne and the resulting scars since I was 13 so in every single one of my relationships. I’ve just now finally figured out what works to get rid of the acne and scarring for my own skin type but it’s been a struggle bus journey for over a decade. Where I personally settled is - this is my face. And while I’m working to improve it, if someone wants to date me now then this is what they’ll see and I won’t be apologetic about it. In my last relationship I purposefully didn’t wear makeup for the first several months just bc I was tired of the “big reveal” and it was never an issue. I don’t think anyone has to date/be attracted to me at all, but if they want to pursue a relationship with me then they don’t get to make me feel bad about what I bring to the table. And truthfully no one has even mentioned it anyway. I think finally getting to that level of confidence has been more attractive than anything tbh

I recommend going to a dermatologist. They specialize in this type of stuff, and saves you from buying a whole bunch of products.

I’ve been reading more about how there’s a difference between how men socialize and how women socialize at work. There’s a school of thought that says that men are “friends” outside of work with their coworkers so they are more likely to lift each other at work. Women however are more likely to separate their work friends and their social friends. I think I fall in this group. Cont in comment

Idk who needs to hear this but don’t just accept feeling lucky to have a job during a pandemic as an excuse to not get your promotion AND raise. If they say they don’t have money, issa lie. They have it, just not for you.

It goes without saying but always keep that resume fresh and be on the lookout for yourself because they SHOL ain’t lookin out for us.

🗣Don’t let them assign your value, know it for yourself and leave if you have to!!
