My wife has really bad skin (face) - eg acne marks, dark skin etc. She’s naturally pretty but refuses to cake it up.

Don’t hate me, I am only human. I have felt like this forever but tried to look past it. I think she has options but not sure how much she wants to do. She does see a dermatologist.

It’s a real issue…we aren’t even young…

It’s ok the vent, but you have to just get through this. In sickness and in health. Make sure she knows you love her.

Some of us unfortunately suffer long term with this, no matter what we do!
Typicals like tretinoin and azelaic acid can be great but if she’s open to taking medication daily, the first thing that worked for me was doxycycline. It is an antibiotic and not great for long term use, but I always had clear skin on it. Much better for long term use is Spironolactone. Some take it for years safely.

Focus on health (dermatologist, skincare routine) and self-acceptance rather than putting on masks. You do NOT want your wife to feel like you think she needs to cover herself up with a pretty paste to be acceptable/attractive to you.

How was her skin when you were dating? Maybe she's allergic to your laundry detergent, or maybe she's grown allergic to you.

Just to be clear, she doesn’t get acne anymore. It’s the scars…

Gift her with laser treatment or plastic surgery

1 tablespoon chia seeds + 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (with the mother) + 10 drops grapefruit seed oil + 1 cup warm water. soak overnight. drink in the morning, every morning. cleared up ALL my adult 40+ acne. Suggest this, have her give it a try. It couldn't hurt!

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side.
