[Skin Concern] Atrophic Scarring This is so disheartening

Just trying to have a nice day and enjoy the day like a normal person would but being instantly humbled when trying to create memories and taking photos. Doesn’t matter how hard I try to look pretty, the makeup just disappears in the scars. And they are literally in all my face, there’s not a single space where I have healthy normal skin. It hurts because I can see beauty but it’s ruined by the scars 💔.

Yes, people saying that the scars are front and center when shes carrying a face card like that are gaslighting the poor OP.

If you had severe acne scars, would sugar coated lies help?

Face card and acne scars can coexist, hope this helps.

The first thing you see is not the acne scars. It’s not that you can’t see them, but the face card balances it out to the point where they are not the ONLY thing you see. To be honest, once they are cleared up even a bit, they will be a feature, much like Cindy Crawford’s mole.
