Any one here with not so perfect complexion?

I'm going to say many here probably have nice skin just by reading posts.But someone as myself who has some miner acne scarring on the cheeks it really is awful.Just wanted to know who else here struggles? And yes i have tried many things including fillers,microdermabrasion,smoothbeam.Although i will not do lasers because i have researched and not many had good results and plus very expensive.So just curious.Again its not that bad but it bothers me.THANX

Probably most here have not-so-perfect skin, if they admit it. I have some acne scaring, rosacea redness, a couple brown spots, and enlarged pores around my nose. But, there are lots of nice things about my face, hair and body - so I keep my skin healthy and don't let the bad stuff bother me. You shouldn't either.

Makeup works miracles! {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Thank-you.Yes i try but it bothers me.Can't help it. They only reason i mentioned this was reading something on viewpoints about Kenya on rhonj,and someone mentioned that she looked weird because she had some scarring.That bothered me.

{#emotions_dlg.blush} I with ya ! I do not have perfect skin, never have. I was sun lover, Jersey Shore girl. I have large pores on my face. My hands are full of age spots. I have overly sensitive, gentle skin so cannot use many products. But, we try !!

I definitely do not have perfect skin. I have brown spots and visible pores. I focus on all of the positives. I am healthy. I do look young for my age. Thanks to good genes from my Daddy.

We are all beautiful! God does not make junk. It is society that makes us focus on every little flaw.

I think we all have our battles with our skin, whether it be redness, dryness, oiliness, acne, acne scars, broken capillaries, fine lines (aka wrinkles), rosacea, sagginess, etc etc but like another poster mentioned, we may just be approaching it differently and focusing more on the good over the bad?

I think there are few with a perfect complexion. My problem is pores.

Agreed! {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1} I have some larger pores and oily skin with some redness. There - it's out there! I also break out hormonally…feel better? {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}
