Hi all,
Wondered if any of you that are trained in facials/make up could help me. Until the age of 24, I never had a spot on my skin....ever. I was then diagnosed with severe endometriosis and PCOS and as a result have suffered with some pretty horrendous spots on a regular basis, pretty much ALWAYS on my chin. They are always massive, almost boil like spots and they have left me with the most awful scarred skin now, to the point it looks like the spots are still there and a few of them are absolutely massive scars.
I have been applying solar oil daily but nothing is happening and the scars aren't fading at all. I have also spent an absolute bomb on several different foundations over the years, trying to find something that will not look like I have thick make up on but yet covers the scars and spots at the same time to no avail.
I have tried a mineral make up previously but can't remember the brand and it cost me an arm and a leg and did nothing but make me look like I had really thick coloured powder all over my face, looked awful :sad:
Can anyone PLEASE recommend a make up brand that will a) be good for my skin and b) actually covers the spots without looking like I've put it on with a trowel? Am beginning to feel so self concious about it and I just don't have the money to keep shelling out trying different products and then having to throw them away because they are useless!
Someone has recommended Jane Iredale or Bare Essensuals for me to try, are these any good? Am dubious about spending out on yet more make up that is rubbish.
Also any tips for how I can reduce the scarring using things I may have in the home/natural methods would be greatly appreciated, I hate my face at the mo and sadly regular facials just aren't an option due to financial constraints :sad: I've heard applying lemon juice to the scars helps, is this true?
Many thanks in advance xx
