Skin Confidence

Unless you are one of those incredibly lucky people who have clear perfect skin, you will probably have days when you can't wait to pile the makeup on. I'm one of those people, I have good skin days (rarely) and bad skin days (most days) but for some reason I've never been overly self-conscious about my skin. 

I suffer with blemishes, as you can probably see from the image above, I always have at least one red spot making an appearance. Usually once I've managed to get rid of one, another one pops up somewhere else. It's only as I've hit my 20's that my skin has decided to break out the spot party and invite all of its friends. 

Despite this blemishy problem, I'm still not overly fussed about covering them up. If I'm doing a full face of makeup for work or I'm going out, then I'll break out the concealer, but most days I'll be bare faced. So what's the secret to skin confidence? Honestly, I have no idea. If I had to put a pin in my own confidence, it probably lies in the fact that I could not care less what people think of my skin, that and I'm pretty lucky to not have big bags or discolouration. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a confident person, I do wonder what people are thinking about me as I walk down the street. The way I see it, is that my skin has a mind of its own, I do what I can to keep it happy but some things are just out of my control. That confidence and knowledge that I'm treating my skin nicely and keeping it clean and moisturised is enough for me. 

So if you want to be skin confident, try giving in to the fact that some things are out of your control. Accept that your skin will do what it wants and take comfort in that you are giving it everything it needs.
