Moda na naukę samoakceptacji w mediach społecznościowych trwa już od dawna. Na Instagramie, gdzie ludzie zazwyczaj kreują się na zupełnie kogoś innego, niż są, pojawił się zupełnie nowy trend. Dawny temat tabu króluje. Trądzik, zaskórniki, zaczerwienienia, przebarwienia i blizny- po co to wszystko? Już spieszymy z tłumaczeniem.

Cofnijmy się do 2015 roku. Film Wyglądasz Obrzydliwie zyskuje ponad 27 milionów odsłon. Pseudo samouczek, pokazuje komentarze adresowane do dziewczyny, która publikuje zdjęcia bez makijażu.

Dziś Em Ford jest jednym z głównych głosów ruchu #skinpositivity. Zmagania z niedoskonałościami są publikowane nie tylko przez nią i pod różnymi hasztagami. Ford powróciła na czerwony dywan podczas rozdania Złotych Globów 2018. Jej cel: uświadamianie ludzi.

Beauty blogerka od lat toruje drogę w tym zakresie. W jej ślady podążyło wielu innych. Tysiące. Miliony. Kali Kushner w październiku 2017 roku szczerze udokumentowała wysiłek włożony w leczenie trądziku torbielowatego. Niemalże każde selfie jest pozbawione makijażu. Em, Kali i inne kobiety. To dowód na to, że trądzik jest tylko tymczasowy. Nie mówi, kim jesteś!

Pozostaje nam mieć nadzieję, że wkrótce niedoskonałości staną się na tyle normalne i akceptowalne przez społeczeństwo, że w mediach społecznościowych przestaną być sensacją.

Co myślicie o ruchu #skinpositivity?

The hardest thing about having adult cystic acne has been coming to terms with the realisation that I am never going to be “cured” but the best I can ever hope for is “control” of my skin. I have suffered with spots since 1992 and still continue to do so in 2017. That’s not to say there haven’t been periods where my skin has cleared up – it has (sometimes even for a few years) – but the cysts usually return over time. The good news is that when it does come back it usually responds to oral treatment. Psychologically accepting that I am never going to “grow out of it” has been a battle through most of my 20s and 30s. Now, closer to 40, I am learning to accept that my skin will be up and down – but when it is down, I need to treat it properly and revert to medication if I need it to minimise the risk of further scarring. I am not a perfect dermatologist with perfect skin – and nor do I aspire to be. Acne gets me down in the same way it affects any adult sufferer but learning to accept treatment when I need it and enjoying the periods my skin is good has become key for good mental health. Acne can be treated and scarring can be prevented but I think we are recognising more and more it can be a chronic problem for some that may always come and go. Acceptance of this is probably the most important part of the psychological battle. Sometimes it isn’t down to what we are eating or sleepless nights or heavy make-up or anything else we are doing wrong. It is just the luck of the DNA draw in terms of our unique combination of hormones and genetics. If you are suffering with your skin there are always solutions. They do not come with the guarantee that after a round of treatment your acne will not return, but there is always something that can be done and no one needs to suffer or just put up with it. If you are struggling with your skin or it is affecting your mental health please seek early intervention from your GP or dermatologist. (Trust the dermatologist who’s had topical creams, laser, antibiotics, the pill, chemical peels, spironolactone, metformin and 9 courses of Roaccutane in 25+ years! I have tried everything🙈) #dermatology #dermatologist #boardcertified #acne

{{ I didn’t expect this many people to respond to this post. I want to help everyone asking what I use and I will make a short video later today explaining what i do. I have a final in like an hour so I’m just tying to study right now. My skin isn’t perfect. But it has come along way and I want to share the progress with everyone}} I just wanted to make a little post about skin because I’ve struggled with mine so much, and i really feel like I need to stop pretending like i haven’t. Especially in the industry I am trying to get into, it can be very deceiving about body image and skin. This is my skin at its worst on the lefts and now on the right. This was a hard time and I was very bothered by it. Didn’t want to leave my room or even have my own parents look at me. I still have scarring left which I am working with a doctor to fix because to be a model you basically need to be „perfect”. Which no one is and I am not claiming to be perfect at all. There are worse things that can happen to you in life than acne. But getting acne takes a really big toll on your life. I’m willing to answer any questions anyone might have. Just needed to get this out there because it is apart of who I am and my story. ( this was really hard to do so please don’t say anything mean 🙃)
