Okay so about 5 years ago, i had horrible acne…it was very bad…however now, my acne has cleared up completely…but I still have these light red/maroon patches on my face, they aren’t noticeable but my skin is not the same as it was before I had acne…
I’m talking about the places where it gets significantly red when you come out of the shower, or after you just wash your face…I wear foundation every day and it hides it…however i don’t think I can ever just go by with wearing a moisturizer because of my face being a reddish/maroon shade…and after I apply even a little foundation it goes away…
I never (as everyone probably) got acne right on the top of my cheekbones (right under my eyebags) and I love my skin like that, this was how it was in my “youth” years before I got the acne, and I never had any “redness” on my face like I do now…I always wish I could get all my skin to look like that..
I used to never wear any makeup and I literally was really “gori” however with the redness on my face, it makes me look really kali without foundation! However right when I put even a bit of foundation on, my skin looks better.
Like I said, its not that I have a noticeable red patches on my face…its just my face is a light reddish/maroonish color minus under my eyebags, which came after my acne went away…
Can these ever go away?? Even though my acne is gone, I still wear foundation every day just to not look “red” I really wish I could just walk out wearing a moisturizer.
It was a bit hard explaining this…but anyone else have this problem or know what I’m talking about?
Is there anything that can help this or is this permanent now?
