A perfect as we think some girls look, I know we all have to have that one beauty related thing we all struggle with every day right? My main one right now is my acne, i switched medicated lotions and its just not strong enough for my cystic acne, now I have to wait to order my original one which works wonders but takes time to clear it all up and even then i still get breakouts here and there THE STRUGGLE lol I'm also always struggling with creating new eyeshadow looks that work with my deep-set eyes, what do you struggle with every day?

For me it's acne and confidence. It's getting better but I don't feel all that beautiful

Don't get me wrong here, I LOVE wearing my colorful, elaborate eyeshadow, and winged eyeliner every day, but some days I just sit down at my makeup desk and I'm completely stumped as to what I want to do that day. No particular color speaks to me, I don't have any designs or ideas in my head, and it's just frustrating!

@victoria d. thats me almost every day tho lol, I always get stuck in a routine with the same looks, I have the hardest time breaking out of the box. Unless i see a picture I really like or am really inspired by something I am always stumped as to what new looks to try and colors to use.

Oily skin. I feel like I can't pull off certain looks or I can't wear certain foundations, blushes, bronzers etc...because my oil shines through. It's very difficult to find products that can last all day without looking like a big oily mess 😞

@katrina w. I FEEL YOUR PAIN lol well im not 40 but i never had acne in high school i got it when i was 19 and have been struggling since and i always have cystic acne around my chin and milia around the tops of my cheeks =/ I cant wait to get my original medicated lotion, it gets rid of all my cystic acne. I use image skincare clear cell acne products

@mekenna o. i have a really oily t-zone and I use clinique stay matte and when i feel like my skin might get really oily i apply their pressed powder over those areas and I dont usually have to reapply, I've heard mac studio fix is really good for oily skin too. Drugstore makeup definitely doesnt cut it for me =/

@judy c, thank you! Ill definitely have to try that. I feel like I've tried everything! And I did have Mac studio fix fluid but I ran out and it's just too expensive to keep purchasing. :(

Keeping life off of my face. Just...by the end of the day I'm tired and stressed out and it shows. It's sort of hard to explain, but ever since I actually *noticed* that I was getting older I've just been worried about aging gracefully. Ha...it's so bad that I've actually managed to stick to a skin routine lately, which is saying a lot considering how badly I treated my skin.

@isabel t. well my esthetician i used to go to recommended it to me, after trying everything this is the ONLY thing that works for me. It is a cleanser and medicated lotion you use twice a day and when you first use it it is VERY potent, like your skin will feel like its on fire lol I would stand in front of a fan till the feeling went away BUT eventually your skin gets used to it and its like normal. its called Image skincare and their acne line is called clear cell. Most cleansers have like 2% salicylic acid, this has 5% which is what makes it work for even the worst acne. The medicated lotion not only has benzoyl peroxide but also salicylic acid. Your skin will get worse for a while as it is exfoliating and getting rid of the acne it might take a while but it WILL work and you just have to keep the regimen or you'll see them coming back. Its expensive but worth it to me.

I had switched to the clinique 3 step acne system thinking my acne wasnt so bad and that i could use something a little bit milder and not to mention cheaper lol but it definitely did NOT work. I bought the image skincare cleanser again but stuck to using the clinique medicated lotion and the cleanser helps clear it up but the clinique lotion just isnt strong enough to keep the acne at bay around my chin so im definitely going back to using just the image skincare products. clinique did not cut it for me at all.

did your skin start peeling, because once my dermatologist gave me a treatment and I started peeling so bad, it was embarrasing to go like that to school, the treatment I use right now makes me peel but not that much.... my break outs are often like big zits and its so frustrating, I have been struggling with acne for a long time now!! what do you reccomend
