- So I've had a rough journey. I went from having perfect skin which required no time or effort in high school, to having chronic acne/clogged pores at 20 years old. Adult acne, teen acne, clogged pores, and acne scars can be very emotional and take a toll on your confidence. I've been there, and I know a lot of you have been there too, or are there right now so I figured sharing MY experience, what I went through, and how I fixed it, could maybe help you! This video was requested by popular demand so here it is!
Here is how I cleared my skin, how to deal with clogged pores, and how to clear acne.

I hate it when people judge people with acne by saying, "wash your face" when in reality, we care about our skin more than those who don't have acne
YES.
Exactly
I know right
Hi to all teenagers who have the problem with acne. I am 22 years old, and since I entered puberty, I suddenly got horrendous acne covering whole face. I tried different skin cleansers and medications but it just didn’t work. I even tried every possible diet but in the end i got some metabolism disorder and I ended up with health problems besides acne. My last hope was to try special treatments and when that failed too, it seemed there is no cure for acne. Then I run across this program. It’s name is:
*CleanFaceFast . com*
It was amazing, and what I learned from this site made my skin clean again! After only 6 days I saw acne disappearing and after 60 days my skin was perfectly healthy. All this thanks to program from this site.
+John Beveridge I'm 11 and I have acne so.. :(
Acne is such a confidence killer and you don't understand it till you've gone through it. So never judge someone for something that seems so little.
Yes it is, because honestly I've looked in the mirror with hopes that it all just disappeared but when I'm disappointed and it's still there I just feel like breaking down and it seems like nothing works.
+That Girl Faith same 😤
Acne is more than a confidence killer
I really don't give a shit about me acne my confidence is just too high
ur so right!!! i completely agree! girls should hep each other not bring each other down!...
shout out to all the ppl that struggle with acne 😢😢 Ur beautiful..:)
😔
OURtogether right..
ll Rissa ll khmm me😡
ll Rissa ll acne ruined my life but it saved me from doing stupid shit like having sex or being with guys lol
It really sucks
I feel everything she is saying. There's times when the breakouts are so bad and you feel so dissappointed about it you just cry and become so vulnerable you just care about what people think of it. Ance it's not only bumps on your skin, it's anxiety, depression and insecurity
katia veiga Yeah, it's rough.. It's the hard knock life for us
katia veiga for sure am trying everything but nothing works acne is so disappointing coz you will never look pretty when you have it Ohhhhhh I wonder what will take this idiot out of my face
Princess Fridah well, I think acne can't take the beauty out of someone but yeah it's hard.
k
I've been there many times :(
Everyone's acne gets better except mine
Same
Same
It will get better this happened to me and I would literally cry all the time but I got a face wash brush like her Mary Kay one and it really helped. Now my family is like "wow your face really cleared up "
+Tere Romances Mine is getting worse and Im only 15
+heyitzsammy12 you're discribing my life😕
I hate how some people say "wash your face" "take care of your skin." When I use like a billion products. My skin is slowly but surely getting better and I couldn't be more thankful. 😊
Drink lots of water too
change your skin products to 100% natural ones. Most brands our toxic and what we put on our skin goes into our bodies and bloodstream. I currently use pure rose water tonic as it is great for acne prone skin and sensitive skin. I use an organic cream called organic Essence with Shea butter, lavender and chamomile. Best cream I've ever used. Has no chemicals and it's made with raw ingredients. Go natural your skin will thank you for it.
+Laura Miller Using alot of products won't necessarily make your skin better. You need to use 1-4 products tops, otherwise your skin will get confused. Also make sure it's natural products, like i use tea tree oil, because it removes your pimples while treating your skin :)
+Visionary Dreamer I try to drink atleast 5-8 glasses each day though!
+Jessica Borek thanks for the tip!
everyone just needs to remember that acne doesn't define you and it doesn't make you less beautiful than anyone else. stay strong everyone ❤️
I'm confident that niki will resolve her acne issues
thanks ♥
Awe your too sweet!
I agree! Everyone is different and acne does not define you!❤️❤️
thank you!! i needed this ahaha
I get bullied so much bc of my acne, and ppl don't understand that washing isn't just gonna make it disappear. It's almost like a disease that should be taken seriously just like any other disease. Like you wouldn't make fun of someone with cancer, so why would you with acne.
Same with me! I don't have horrible acne but I do tend to get a lot of white heads and occasional pimples, and people always say "why don't you wash your face more" but I literally wash my face 2 times a day but when you have sensitive skin you can't wash your face 10 times a day
are you seriously comparing acne with cancer
Acne is serious but it's nothing like cancer. But if you wouldn't make fun of someone with bad allergies, why make fun of someone with acne??
Hi
I used tazorac to get rid of my acne and birth control as well
This treatment is amazing!! I wish that it was affordable enough for everyone to get it, nobody should deal with acne it is literally the biggest self esteem killer ever!
yesssss
Yes
True😭😭
Agreed it just makes people down on there's elves
I mean selves not elves lol😂
Your skin has been looking so good lately! 🙌🏼😻💕
+Tori Breen Agree
Ikr!
+Talitha Jane I'm subscribed to your channel too ma'am
Ikr!!!
I know she is so pretty!❤️😍
Having acne is just an emotional ride. It is a HUGE confidence crusher. Congrats on your progress!
i burst into tears in this video because i literally have that exact face stuff omg
+Jacob Cade STOP ADVERTISING
I don't have bad acne, but I felt horrible when you realize how our negativity affects others
I have had acne since 5th grade and it makes you feel so ugly when nobody in your class has acne yet and you do. I still have acne going in to 7th grade and nobody else does and I hate it.
+Mccoll Miller same
Me too, I barely get any "red pimples" as such but horrible bumps and I think they're worse because you can't cover them up... I can't get rid of mine even after medication from the doctor:(
I have acnes on my face and because of that I tend to not look at people when they're talking to me because I'm scared they'll judge me ):
Same
+imperfectlyEssa Don't worry about that! If they can't accept that you are a perfectly normal person along with the rest of the world, they don't deserve your attention. If you're talking to family and friends, they won't care about your acne because they love you for who you are! Don't let acne lower your self esteem because no matter what, everyone is beautiful. So look people right in the eye and be confident about yourself and your skin, because if your close ones think that you're okay with it, then they will be too.
+imperfectlyEssa Don't let other peoples judgment ruin your life or what you view yourself. If you think that people will judge you because of the acne, you portray being self absorbed and worrying about peoples opinions that aren't your love ones. Your love ones will love you and not judge you based on your acne or looks. I have had acne for years, it will clear up and then get worse. I used to be like you in terms of what people will think, but then I realized those people are not people I would want in my life or around me, because your loved ones will love you regardless. I also realized that I was becoming very self absorbed with my looks and that isn't a good thing. Sometimes you have to not care about what others think and be true to yourself.
i have the same thing :(
this is so me I feel the same exact way, I hate looking at people while they're talking so I look down bc I feel like there just judging my pimples and I hate that, I used to have such clear skin ):
I'm so happy for you niki!!!! I hate having acne. When I go out somewhere I feel like people stare at my acne and it's not a good feeling. It's a total self esteem bomb. I have super bad acne on my nose and it won't go away. I've had it for like 3 years and it won't go away. I've tried everything. Now that I've watched this video I'm defiantly using this face wash. I find that people judge people for having acne. It makes me have low self esteem and makes me want to hide in my hoodie. People can sometimes just be mean. It may be or maybe not our fault about our acne and just having people judging you doesn't make ourselves feel any better. We already are aware of it. You know so people actually look super good with acne. One of my best friends have acne and I couldn't the imagine her without it. I think that her acne is very beautiful and so should everyone else. Who cares if we have acne. It's a part of life, that so many people go through, so why judge each other for it.
preach
+Magda Wyspianski principal secret and use a deeper cleansing one at night so all the serums and product u use at night can actually penetrate the skin. Niki your skin look great!!! Stay positive babe!!! Xox
I have acne too, and it will go away! I promise. I totally understand how you feel. I know I don't know how you look like, and I personally and genuinely believe you are beautiful person, inside and out
+Yosi Lee awe thx you so much❤️
I just starterd crying because i have the exact same thing.. I just hate people judging about it. My parents are just saying yeah it will go away but when i was younger i was crying every night because i had to go to school the next morning, then i was just 10 years old. Now i'm 15 and i always had acne. I still have. I try everything to let it go away but it doesn't go away. I feel so bad cause i hate having acne. People always looking at my skin makes me feel like i'm someone not coming from earth or something.
tbh, I never even paid attention to your acne. I didn't even really notice it
Same
Same
Same
Same!!!
same
Who else hates it when people point out your acne? Like yeah I'm not freaking blind how could I not see that pea sized zit on my face?
That intro had me almost in tears just at how happy Niki was to be doing this. I had clear skin in high school and it's gotten worse as I've gotten older just like her. I'm so happy that she is doing something that makes her feel comfortable in her own skin, literally❤️
If anyone needs inspiration you really should watch my films💜
Completely agree❤️❤️❤️
+Brooke M Richards oh I'm so happy you commented on this, your films just changed my life..
the other thing ppl don't understand is a lot of ppl who take good care of their skin have acne
This is very true. Even when I was on the best diet, exercising and using cleansers to wash, I would get acne.
I think people with acne take better care of their skin than people who’ve never had it because they are trying to cure it.
I have an acne problem on my checks but even though you have acne I always think you are beautiful 😍❤️👌
❤️❤️❤️
Saaammeeee 🙋
I had acne on my cheeks and I realised that its because of my phone. When I m talking, dirty phone is toching my face. I mixed lemon and honey like a mask every night and I started clining my phone with alkohol evey they. It helps a lot.😃😀
+Kristina Djordjevic *every day
+Kristina Djordjevic sta kaze alkohol jel hahahah pa nece te razumjeti 😄😄😄
You go girl! It's the worst when you put in so much effort and it isn't even like half as good as other careless people.
I hate it when ppl say "just wash your face" like its not that easy!! Ugh
Niki you are one of the prettiest girls I have ever seen with or without makeup. Acne doesn't define who you are. What's inside you does
Omg Niki when you were talking about what happened around Christmas that brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry you had to feel that way about yourself and I am so glad you are more confident now and your skin is getting much better
It makes me feel better that they are people too.
RayRay Books aw don't worry you can always find a solution if you need any help message me on Instagram fayelelmi
Watching this makes me realise how bad my skin is. I'm 16 years old & ive got loads of bumps on my forehead, I just thought that if I kept exfoliating it would go away. I- like you- take care of my skin before anything else, and all through high school (UK) my skin has been clear, it's only been the past 7 months. so thank you for posting this, it's honestly helped me so much!!💕
I am 12. I know most ppl will think I'm 2 young but I do have acne. It started in about 4th grade. I have tried Neutrogena and proactive and lots of other things but now I do cetaphil face wash from Walgreens and I went to dermatologist and they proscribed a antibiotic which I use and it makes me happy. I also is epidou. This is the age where tween/teens get into the makeup and face products that doesn't help skin. I wear light makeup and my skin gets bad a that "time" in the month.
I also want to talk about the other bad part of acne. Bullying is a big part. I haven't been thro that myself. Nobody has bullied me or picked on me. Especially when it's the start of the period age and things like that. Acne can bring u down but don't let it. If u r getting bullied, u need to tell bullies that it isn't something u can control. DONT LET ANYONE CHANGE U. U BE WHO U R!!!!!!
NIKI I SUPPORT U AND UNDERSTAND. U R BEAUTIFUL WITH OR WITHOUT MAKEUP! I love u.
yes omg. I'm 13 and have pretty bad acne. i am on pills, use medicated face wash, medicated moisturiser and also use epiduo. no one bullies me but i can never look people in the eye because i just feel like they're staring at my acne and its hard and people don't understand and i really hate it
Elise Cay I got acne in fourth grade too! It was really awful and I also got picked on :/ I got rid of it after three years by drinking a lot of water, Estée Lauder cleanser, and using DIY ingredients. And i tied my hair back so oil wouldn't like be all over my face.
I totally understand... I am so struggling with this and sometimes I look in the mirror and cry 😭 I have started having chest and shoulder acne... some on my back... I am sooo young, I'm about to turn 12 and I feel terrible... I can't even go swimming
Elise Cay I understand that too. I got acne when I was 10, and it was really bad. It still gets really bad, and I'm 13.
i'm 12 also and have really bad acne so i know how u feel
When she said "beauty is pain" that's got me. Beauty is embracing who you are and loving yourself. I know acne is embarrassing and makes you self conscious but acne is normal, everyone gets it. You take care of your skin and that should be all that really matters! Your beautiful niki! If this makes you feel more confident then that's awesome! Really it is! But beauty is loving who you are and embracing that. Okay I'm done, sorry if that's is all over the place
I don' t know why some girls freak out when on their "perfect" scin a pimple pops up. Have you ever seen a person with real acne? Like how would you feel when your face is literally covered in pimples and blackheads all the time(no kidding) and they WONT GO AWAY!!!Like I mean serious acne not just a couple pimples here and there. Thumbs up for all people who fight with acne 'cause you are strong and awesome!
Can you give a full-out skin care routine? It's awesome that you talked about the products, but I'd lobe to hear about how you use everything! Thank you, and congrats on getting clearer skin! ❤😘
*love
+twixlover219 I use face moisturizer every night and morning and it really helps, I wash my face like every few weeks.
+Gabi cooper That sounds like good routine. It wouldn't fit for my skin type though, since I have to wash it everyday. If I skip a day of washing, I get pimples. Thank you for telling me though
Its not easy to come out and talk about this, thank you for sharing! Such an inspiring story!
I hate to admit this, but as someone who has never had acne or pimples, I definitely take it for granted and definitely don't realize how lucky I am. I'm happy for your that you're getting this treatment done!
It's honestly horrible. Be thankful
people have acne that comes and go. i have that type of acne that comes and stay ;\
Try Rodan and Feilds Unblemish regimen, it works REALLY well and cleared and cured my acne in just 2 weeks! I had horrible acne for 5 years and nothing has ever helped clear it except for Rodan and Feilds and I have so much more confidence now that my skin is clear.
I love how shes being honest
help me im poor
No
+Glitter4ever17 Rocks lol go away
+Glitter4ever17 Rocks rude af you're a disgrace
+Karen Avila awh bless u thanks babe
aufa joe bless you too :) , people these days have no heart :(
HOW ARE YOU EYELASHES LONGER THAN ANY RELATIONSHIP I'VE HAD
eyelash extensions
+faith joseph seriously! Her eyelashes are so beautiful.
+Kiley Kitta they look fake and all over the place
😂😂😂😂
she gets extensions Iol
I don't have acne but I don't have the best skin either and it still annoys me when people tell people who have acne "wash your face" I had this one friend who told me that people who have acne don't shower like wtf showering has absolutely nothing to do with acne¿
What a nut 😂😂
Showering does have to do with acne, because if you take long and hot showers, it may make the acne worse
heyits gosha same
I'm soooo super disgusted that anyone would point out a flaw to someone, like who does that?! I'm sorry Niki that you had to read all those mean, un-supportive, and insensitive comments. Society has become so focused on beauty and fixing your "flaws" that we've forgotten how to teach people about loving themselves. But Niki I just would like you to know that you are extremely beautiful and extremely brave for coming out to share your story with us and all you real emotions. Most people would pretend to be perfect, I wish people stop taking great people for granted. Much love Niki , xo.
I ditched actual face wash and started making my own coconut oil and honey masks. Your pores will fucking disappear and your face will feel so so so so soft. Coconut oil has great antibacterial/anti-fungal properties and honey helps lighten dark spots and acne scars. I often add sugar to the mixture to exfoliate. I know it sounds risky but I have very sensitive, acne prone skin and it's the only thing that works for me.
Do you have oily skin? I'd love to try this but my oily skin is just terrible so I feel the need to use toners and other products
+Melanie Crossing Yes, for the most part I have oily skin but whenever I do this, it just stays smooth for hours and has no oil build up. I also stopped using toner because I realized that it did literally nothing. I found out that one major reason skin produces so much oil is because you're using a product that's too harsh. Try to find out which product that is a throw it out homie
How long did you use the face mask till you skin cleared out? 🌚
+mlhg ap It worked almost instantly for me. Give it about a week and you'll definitely notice a difference. I also suggest you use raw honey.
OMG TELL ME EVERYTHING!!! Ratio of oil to honey? Do you use specific a honey? Do you make it fresh everyday or do you prepare like a week or month on one day?
I cried to because of my skin I feel u😞
Girl I feel you about taking care of your skin! The people who take care of their skin deserve perfect skin
Everyone is beautiful in their own ways. All of you guys are perfect!!!
Ahhh Niki I'm so happy for you! I know firsthand how much of a struggle acne can be and how AMAZING it feels to finally feel happy and confident with your skin! Looks amazing❤️👏🏻
I am so happy you did a room tour
Definitely, try Korean skin care to maintain your skin. American skin care is not enough for everyone. Korea really has the research behind this and they use a lot of hydrating products and gel creams that are extremely lightweight. Try Laneige.
This video moved me to tears. I’m twelve years old experiencing what you were going through right now. I understand the feeling of not seeing your relatives for a long time and knowing all they are looking at is your skin and how it has broken out.
YOUR EYELASHES ARE SOOOO LONG OMG GOALS
+aseellovescats I think they're extensions
Yes they both got extensions when they were in L.A
They are eyelash extensions
Ooooooooobooobo
+Vickie Adams stop adverising
gurl your acne isnt that bad lol
Cool
Yeah but having even a tiny bit of acne affects your confidence so much
+Chantelle Tee I agree, acne is a confidence killer. And besides this treatment was to help the texture too
If u listened to her u would know her acne was way worse but it's getting better so she wanted to take the final step and clear it up
That's because it's more cleared. if you watched the start it was worse. Everyone is different with these types of things anyway .
ACNE OR NOT YOU'RE STILL BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT!!LOVE YOU!!!
Very true love you niki
I agree!! Niki you are beautiful no matter what
YOUR HAIR IN THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. I forgot how much I loved the grayish blue thing on you
The most important thing to remember is that acne should be treated MOSTLY from the inside. No matter how many treatments you make, how many masks etc, if you keep eating pizza, drinking sodas, pepsi etc, your skin will not look good, and I wish young people would understand that more. Dairy is so bad for your skin, and so is fast food, processed food etc. I am sure that if we all lived a healthier life, no one would ever get acne past their 20's.
I had to clear my acne by myself. I researched different things for my skin type. Try that rather than a dermatologist. My dermatologist didn't help
what worked for you
what's your skin type and what did you do?
+alisha33x okay so basically I'll start off with my morning to night routine I do every day
Morning: I wash my face with this African black soap bar from Shea moisture (sold at cvs, target, Walgreens, etc.) then I spray some of my Mario badescu facial spray with aloe, herbs, & rose water on my face as a moisturizer because that works best for me in the morning
Night: I use the Murad clarifying cleanser along with the Murad acne clearing solution. Then I have this bottle of tea tree and water mixed that I spray all over my face until it is pretty wet. And if I have a bad pimple I apply the Mario badescu drying lotion to calm it and tame it.
I also ice any huge acne marks at night so they are reduced in the morning
Masks I use: Mario badescu super collagen mask
And the Shea moisture African black soap mask
I like to use tea tree because it fights against bacteria! Spray it on your pillow at night to refresh them!
+Rutuja Dicholkar I also don't wear heavy makeup or any makeup with SPF just because I am highly allergic and get break outs from it. Plus I use the Nivea men sensitive shave balm as a primer and it keeps a lot of gunk out of my poors through out the day
i use the african black soap too but find it soon drying
I hate acne and i cant wear makeup and im in 8th grade aka 14 years old and its horrible 😭 Including when u wanna talk to ur crush something has to pop out🙄
Itzlesliem I went through the same thing in 8th grade, I couldn't hide it with makeup but I wanted to. Then when I could hide it with makeup, it just got worse. I'm now 20 and have been battling acne for about 8 years. Losing the makeup was the first thing that helped clear my skin, but there was one thing that I didn't do that has now cleared it almost completely and that's drink lots of water. I wish I had have drunk more of it when I was your age because that (and eating a little healthier) are the only two things that have cleared my acne! I drink 3L of water a day and have done for the past two years and my skin is so much clearer, I don't even need to use any products to clean it or moisturize it at all anymore because of the amount of water I'm drinking daily!! Nor do I need makeup anymore either!! One other thing that helped so much was not touching my face at all, that helps a lot as there's so much bacteria on your hands. :)
Itzlesliem if you drink about 3L of water a day, wash your face in the morning and at night with just water, and use aloe vera (optional but it's known as the miracle plant and was a major factor in clearing my skin) your skin will clear up within a week or two. Aloe vera is INCREDIBLE for your skin, and the plant is really cheap to buy too (it's about $2-$6 US dollars. But maybe you have it growing at home). And if you consider getting it, don't get the store bought stuff, it has to be from the plant so it's 100% natural and works faster and better but I HIGHLY recommend it. Aloe vera heals burns, fades acne scars, clears your skin, reduces redness and inflammation, moisturizes, cleanses and tones the skin, repairs damaged skin cells, is great for your insides too and is so good for healthy gums and teeth (tastes gross though). To use it you just cut the leaf in half and rub the gel on your face, I do it in the morning after I've washed my face with water and then Ieave it on all day. Once it completely dries though, I wash my hands and make sure they're clean and then I'll just gently massage my face so it doesn't dry (some people experience the feeling of having dry skin after applying aloe vera, others don't, but if you massage your face afterwards or even gently go over it with a dry and clean washcloth or towel, that feeling will go away). But honestly aloe vera is soooo so good!! I've thrown out every single one of my cleansers, toners and moisturizers because aloe vera is a natural 3 in one literal miracle plant! Plus the water is a huge help as it flushes out toxins in the body and hydrates the skin! 😁
Cheyenne Rumsley Thank you for the advice 😄
Cheyenne Rumsley Thank you alot😊
Itzlesliem you're welcome!! 😁
I honestly feel you on so many levels. People always want to suggest products that they think will work thinking that they are helping but it's like, don't assume that I am not already taking care of it. People with acne are the people who don't sleep in their makeup, wash morning & night, don't touch their face, ect ect. Thank you for sharing Niki, your skin looks great!!!
why do people even say those things like "wash your face!" MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going through the same thing right now 💔 Hopefully it gets better
I went through it too! It gets better!
I’m going through the same thing and it’s getting better. I’ve just been sticking to my routine because I’ve found products that work for my skin. I’m so happy that I at least see some results
When you have acne, remember there are other people having worse acne than you :)
How does that help her😂🙈
+Madison Somerhalder she is not alone about having acne. Almost everyone gets it in puberty
Just because someone is going through a worse situation than you doesn't mean your own struggles aren't worthwhile and valid. There's ALWAYS going to be someone that is more this or less that or whatever, but that doesn't mean your own situation isn't worth understanding.
This is my exact story. My skin was perfect in high school and then I got into my 20's and bam acne. I completely understand everything you went through with how you felt and how others tell you to take care of your skin when they don't know how much effort your putting into clearing up your skin. Loved this video!
i dont know why people act like dermatologists and like they know everything. "do this" "buy this" "have you tried washing your skin?" "stop being lazy and try" ...seriously? not everyone is the same. Who are you to judge and bully someone? Acne messes with you psychology and it is scary and sad. I have had bad acne for 8 years and nothing works and makes it go away. People always try to force me on new products, but I HAVE VERY SENSITIVE DRK SKIN, nothing works! Changing my diet helped some, but acne is also genetic. Stop acting like yall know everything and stop bullying and body shaming.
I know exactly what you went through. I'm going through that right now and in the exact same spot but it's getting better😄 I'm in 8th grade so it really sucks and I always feel like the first thing people notice on me is my acne. My friend always tell me that it's not they bad even my parents but it feels like there a bunch of red stop lights on my face. Btw you're beautiful with and without acne😊❤️ this is my first vid that I've watched of yours and I'm subscribing to you!
Aww I'm so excited for you acne is so frustrating and you're skin is looking awesome!!!
omg I love ur channel!!! ahh
+Three Perfect Stars Thank you so much🙈💘
I have watched a lot of acne story video but this is the best one I've seen so far. I love how genuine you are.
good for you for taking action with your skin. it's really inspiring and I hope others do the same
I know how you feel I'm just 11 years old and getting acne because of my sensitive skin
Same
Like you just described my life
I wish I could be different but that's the way God chose to make our lives so it's ok 😁
Glitzy Gabbie yeah but mines is clearing up a little
That's good
+Glitzy Gabbie yeah it is
how's yours
it's beyond frustrating when everyone around me told me "just wash your face and that will clear up your acne". I was washing my face twice a day when my skin was at its worst and I saw no results. once I decided to just leave my skin alone and wash it a few times a weeks (which seems gross but I literally sit inside all day lmao), is when my acne started to clear up :)
Same with me
"My skin made me not like who I was" that hits way too close to home. That was when I was at my lowest point. I truly believed I was too ugly to be loved, liked, or even tolerated. I couldn't look in a mirror if I wasn't wearing makeup without bursting into tears. I was scared of my own reflection and I let acne dictate what I could and couldn't do. I'm glad I'm out of that dark part of my life but I wish I could've pulled myself out of it sooner. People who struggle with acne struggle with so much more than a skin condition, they struggle with self-esteem and self-love. To all the people out there fighting acne, keep on keeping on, you're inspirations.
I always felt like I was being judged so hard for acne and I think people thought I just didn't care for my face but I DO. I got it earlier than everyone else and it was hard for me to have confidence. I don't like wearing makeup but I felt like I needed it. It got really bad since the end of last year and my #1 recommendation is
If you can afford it, SEE A DERMATOLOGIST.
I went and my derm told me things I never knew about my skin. He gave me a routine and some prescriptions I've been using and I have almost no acne anymore, just dark marks (but there's not really anything you can do about those, unfortunately. They take a while to go away and until then I'll still be using concealer). Overall, dermatologists are the experts and they can and WILL help you. I definitely recommend seeing one if you can. My self esteem is so much higher than before. :)
Also: you need to remember that everyone's skin is different so don't necessarily spend a lot of money on the products she uses. Some peoples skin is a lot more sensitive or reacts differently to things like benzoyl peroxide so if you can't see a derm try out different methods (REMEMBER TO TAKE PROGRESS PICS EVERY WEEK OR SO) and see what works for you
I'm so happy for you your skin looks incredible
I have bad acne but i cant afford the products
drink a lot of water. something that works.
GummyBearz55 use honey and apple cider every night make sure you face is clean first then use apple cider vinegar to tone your face using cotton buds then apply very thin layer of honey in your face or where is the affected area then wait for 30 mins to rinse it off but I find it better if you sleep with the thin layer honey I swear it's working great for me and please if you tried it out I wanna know how is it going with you :)
GummyBearz55 yup same
I've been making a turmeric mask and I use turmeric natural Greek yogurt, natural honey (i get it from a actual bee farm and I prefer it because I can use it as a scrub since it's not liquid) and rose water to liquify it ! Also a lot of people say aloe Vera plant
Gummy it's okay dear we all are equal by mind don't feel lonely 😀
this helped me sm because now i know that im not the only one who deals with acne. i have oily skin and I've tried soooo many acne treatments and I've had bumps on my forehead since I was like in 6th grade and years have passed and all tho I used all those facial treatments, my face has never fully cleared. theres less acne around my face over all but it's still there. Thank you for the vid bc it really helped me feel like I wasn't alone and that there's still hope
Honestly I've never had acne in my life, only about a few pimples and stuff but they go away right away. I'm really sorry you have had to go through that for a long time Niki😢. You really did deserve that laser treatment! And also Don't listen to them haters talking about your acne on your face, because they don't know what you are going through with it. Either way you're still beautiful no matter what Nikki 💕❤️. More girls should be like you also, that they love wearing no makeup lol😊. I love you without make up as well 😍. Stay beautiful Niki🌹
corny ass
nothing nice to say,don't say anything at all
+Adam von idk how tf that was corny but ok.
+skin guru 13 I was pretty much saying everything nice, so idk what you are talking about.
Who else wishes they could have a clear healthy skin ???? Like for luck ❤️
Girls remember that with acne a lot of it comes because of what you are eating. What you put in your body is going to reflect on the outside. So eat more fruits and veggies and get rid of the dairy and oils (too much saturated fat). You will see results if you do this you just have to be patient!
Really wish people would stop saying this. That is not the case for a lot of people.
Same girl. I just stumbled upon your blog through this video. I've never had acne until I turned 22. It's slowly finally clearing up.
What you eat has a lot to do with the appearance of your skin as well girl. Trust me I learned the hard way.
+Plant Based Brunette IKR! Looking at Niki's diet, it's not hard to tellwhy shehas these problems.
Agreed! Cut out the animal products and you'll notice so much of a difference 🤗
Yes! Thank you for being supportive ^^
Girl I understand i have blackheads on my forhead, cheeks, and nose. And i have pimples all over my face and a little bit on my back. And my face is really oily, it peals, and it creates weinkles and im only 15. I cry about it all the time but my mom and brother told me not to worry about it cuz people are assholes and that it's not that bad because other people don't have arms, legs, water, food, or a happy family. And i had my acne for 4 years now
I understand how you feel^^
isabel almaraz Hey sweetie, this message is a year old but I hope you are feeling better and more comfortable with your skin. I'm 27 now but in high school everyone would point out how gross my skin was. Take care to drink lots of water (I love water in my 20s; buy a 2L water bottle and bring it everywhere) and try to use as natural cleaning products as possible, and not more than 2 X a day. I also discovered using rosemary oil (similar to tea tree), it has a antibacterial effect and is pretty strong as an essence. A drop on problematic pimples and they disappear the next day. Be sure to avoid the eyes.
I used to have really bad acne, but I started using apple cider vinegar on my face everyday, and stopped using my prescribed acne medication (this doesn't mean stop using meds, I am pro vaccination and pro medication but this worked for me, and i think you should try it but it may not work for you!) and now my skin is clearer than ever and I'm so happy!!
How long it took you to get back to your good skin?
Huong Vo A week, after that week I had some minor breakouts, but by the next week all of that was gone.
I also recommend St. Ives' apricot blemish scrub if you have oily skin, I have combination and it really helps with those areas.
+EmilyITaber did you use everynight?
Huong Vo Yes.
I just purchased the Mary Kay Timewise Miracle Set. Although it is a bit pricey, Niki’s transformation motivated me to buy this set. I’m really excited to try it. I have oily, sensitive skin just like Niki. Acne is such a confidence killer. Just remember you are all beautiful just the way you are
I have a whole bunch of pimples on my forehead and chin but on my chin you can't see them. I really hope that it will go away and I'm going to take your advice because I'm so sick of my acne.
Witch Hazel is fantastic!
HorseRider 2311 use witch hazel and drying cream/drying lotion Marino bedescu
Honestly try lush ( dark angles cleanser) it works with every skin type and will help you soooooo much
Cutting out dairy can actually help your skin big time as well, along with eating gluten free.
I want clear skin again like yours
Hey Jennifer! I struggled with acne for a long time! I just uploaded a video on how I cleared it. I was so depressed from it and I hate to see other people struggle with it
this video is sooo real. i literally relate SO hard to everything. been battling cystic acne and its just starting to clear up rn so i have hope! thank you so much for being so real
omg.. ur story is just like mine! im 21 too. in high school, im very proud of my skin because i had friends who had acne in high school age. my skin seldomly has pimple. when i was 18, I only had one or two pimples on my face at once. never more than 2. mostly when I was in period. but a few month ago, my face blow up like a bomb . all of sudden, i have more than 10 pimple on my face. i didnt notice at the first place until i accidentally open my camera and it shows my not-silky face.. haha i believe that my acne happen because im stress right now. because I have final project for almost 2 months already. after submission, i'll try to get rid of this scary skin :D
It is probably my most hated thing ever when people tell you how bad your skin is or if you have acne like I KNOW and it helps no one to point this out
I feel you
I hate going to family gathering because they always targeted my bad skin :(
to hell with everyone I decided today that I don’t give a damn what anyone thinks about me, my skin, my choices, who I am because you will never be enough in anyones eyes so be perfect in your own eyes!
Niki I feel you completely. My face is awful
Hi Nikki! I'm so happy you found a way to fix your acne. I have been struggling with acne for the last two years and it has brought my self assume down so much. I feel that people don't look at me they look at the bumps on my face. I have tried so many different things and nothing seems to work but it's hard when you don't have the money to buy high end makeup and face products that could potentially help my skin. I know it's normal for girls my age to have acne but when I look at my other friends it's a let down cause my skin has never looked like there's. I hope one day my skin can be flawless like yours again.
If you add essential oils to your skin it makes you skin think that it is producing to much oil. Making it produce less so then your skin will be less oily.
That really pissed me off when ppl say go wash your face honestly they don't know crap like some ppl just have acne throughout their life it's not bc lack of cleansing.
Truee. Some guy in my class said I need to wash my face, and I'm like so confused, because I already do😅
did she ever say how many days/weeks it took her skin to get like this after she started using her products??
she started using it about 25 december and it helped her right now
+Sofija Grande wow so like almost 3 months? okay thank you!
+DreamBelive07 you're welcome
She's gorgeous honestly
they are playing take on me by aha at the dermatologist office lol
Love that 80s
lol 😂 I was about to comment that
i have so many pimples and i really want to get rid of it i want a regular skin soft and no pimples acne etc pls help me!😤😥😧😭😭😭😭😭
Jodie Cuyos try apple cider vinegar 😊
Jodie Cuyos I have sensitive skin, so if I stray from a routine my skin breaks out really bad. Try sticking to a routine and using products that are for your skin type. For me it was a lot of trial and error.
Aloe Vera and tea tree oil!
you can try to wash your face with green tea, maybe that helps. it worked to me and now so good. goodluck
I am 12 years old and I have had acne since I was in 2nd grade. People that dont have acne just don't know what we go through the to achieve perfect skin.
Thank you for this video! I turned 25 this year and started getting such horrible acne out of nowhere and it was pretty much ruining my life, but I have not given up on finding a solution. The struggle is immense and your video helped me a lot!
THIS HELPED A LOT! You should see my face! It looks like a Spanish paella 😂
Your eyelashes are longer than my life.
Eyelash extensions.
I have Hormonal acne problem but thanks to *AcneCureOnline .Com*
That helps me to get rid of that...Recommended..... ....
I felt the same way about me being told to look at my hygiene.
6:40 I smiled when I saw how happy and confident you were with your skin
It's a food intolerance. My mum had exactly the same areas affected with acne like you. But she is in her early 60s. She suffered over 2-3 years and did a lot but nothing helped. I convinced her (she was vegan already) to cut out all fats, wheat, gluten and soy products, nuts, nut milks, and all processed foods. Her acne cleared up within a week. She is now eating brown rice, lots of veggies (fresh, cooked, roasted without oil), potatoes, sweet potatoes beans and lentils and fruits. Additionally to get rid of her acne she also lost a lot of weight. We think that she did react mainly to wheat/gluten. But to find out what food you are intolerant just check out the Dr. McDougall elimination diet.
Good info but you must never cut out all fats ! We need fats for hormone regulation. If you eat no fat, your body will shut down.
I’m getting this , this Christmas ❤️💚
Do you whats the treatment?
i had bad acne and something that helped get rid of it was washing my face 3 times a day, i have oily skin and when i washed my face 3 time a day it ALL went away. also my mom said don't eat a ton of chocolate. that also helped.
Do you use any cream or anything when you wash your face?
+iCookie Lover I just used the clean and clear night wash thing. Its in the blue bottle. I love that stuff for oily skin. Because it help dry up the oil but if you have dry skin somewhere dont use it there because it will make it dry and peel. 😖 it does a good job and i use it all the time.
+Sarah Coates Okay, I'll try that out, thanks!
Omg niki my acne areas are just like you and what i’ve been suffering is no better than you. I was so glad to see someone who has the same problem as i am, like i was given a lifevest and pulled me out of the bottom of the desperation. Thank you so so so much Niki for your vid, that was so me, that was so touching and emotional. What a great experience, love and will always support you!
