Sarah you honestly aren't alone, there are sooo many people out there with similar problems. Me being one of them! I hate wearing make up too but I'd rather that than go out with bad skin. For the redness I would suggest something natural. I use honey mixed with milk which calms the redness and makes my skin really smooth. Keep your cleansing routine simple as too many products can irritate the skin. I've been washing my face with a tea tree oil face wash then using a vitamin e serum straight after. Also try taking some vitamin supplements to help yourself from the inside. I'm taking evening primrose oil capsules, but I've heard cod liver oil capsules are excellent at clearing skin and overall making it glow. I hope that helps. :)

I don't think this looks as terrible as you say. Is the redness always there or is it irritated skin?

Yes I agree on going to a dermatologist. It's maybe 2 hours without make up and it will change your life forever, the insecurity will be gone. I think that will be totally worth it to go see a doctor.

Bio oil for scars baby oil/Coco nut oil for redness baby oil is also very good for stretch marks.

Nayab... I couldn't possible justify spending 100 on a dermatologist... If I couldn't cover it with makeup then I would

Em... Thank you for your advice appreciate it :) xx

I want to keep dermatologist as last report really as it is expensive and I have two children and even the 100 pound isn't much Its a 100 pound which isn't being spent on my children. I'm just after some cheap solutions for the time being without spending too much... Seems silly but I would feel selfish taking 100 a way from my children I work all hours god sends and still only have 200 spare a week for food and kids things xxx

Thank you Leanne... I did hear bio oil would work on scars I know I used it when I was pregnant but this was on my tummy and I didn't get any stretch marks... Have you tried bio oil on face?? X.

Did you check your healt insurance policy? Maybe if the doctor sends you to see the dermatologist it will be for free. You can always tell him it hurts or whatever and then it's medical.

Sarah H.

Thats a good idea but I'm sure I've only got cover for terminal illness... I pay for my doctors and medications etc.x

Sarah, I totally hear you on all the valid points you raised to put off seeing a dermatologist but I can tell you now you will spend far more money trying to solve it with over the counter products. Without knowing the exact source and trialling many different products you just won't find a solution. And $100 now, spent on you, will save you a lot of money down the track when you start to age and things get much worse (and kids only get more expensive as they age!). I highly recommend you visit a DMK or Dermalogica recommended therapist, often they will do a consult for free and assess your skin. From there it is up to you if you want to undergo treatments or use products.

I don't want to guilt you but I just want to stress that healthy skin will make a big difference to your life. You won't have to use as much makeup to cover it (saves you $$), you will feel better on the inside AND most importantly, healthy skin means healthy barrier function and that is what our skin is for.
