Family gathering mein mausi ne acne ka prescription diya, ab shaadi ka solution bhi sun liya 😭

literally so done with this. Family gathering thi kal, and as usual, mausi ji ne turant dekha mera face. "Arre, itne daag kaise ho gaye? Kya lagati ho? Glycerin daalo, besan lagao." Like, I KNOW home remedies exist, I'm not dumb. But cystic acne isn't some magic spot that disappears with haldi. And then chachi ji said, "Shaadi ke baad theek ho jayega, tension mat le." Bro, I'm 19, not getting married tomorrow. Why is that the solution for everything?

I've tried so many things. Salicylic acid, niacinamide, even went to a derm. But popping ki aadat nahi jaati. I know, I know, it's bad. But when I see a whitehead, I just can't stop myself. Now I have these dark spots that look even worse than the actual acne. Filters are my best friend for selfies, but in real life, I feel so conscious.

Also, why do relatives think pointing out flaws will help? I already know my face looks like a war zone. I don't need a reminder every time I step out. Ugh. Anyone else's family obsessed with giving unsolicited skincare advice? Like, just let me exist in peace, please. 😭
