It feels somewhat of a contradiction. All the Leo and 10th house energy should mean that It should be relatively easy for me to be in the spotlight. But I really struggle to let myself be seen by others and find other's opinions of me to be painful. Only thing I can chalk it up to is scorpio asc/pluto in first.

Its stifling me, as I have my own business and need to showcase my work to the world. But I am struggling and its hurting my business. Any insights?

I've recently found the hex code for my favourite colour and I want to incorporate it into a colour palette for a project.

So far I have some deep red browns (#230c06/#330a05), 'soy sauce' black/brown (#100805), a brassy yellow colour (#bf6d01) and a yellow toned pistachio green (#8c6510). But I am stuck on a light colour to really contrast the main colour of #4e0000, and all these muddy/deep/warm colours. I've tried apricot, white-peach, tallow, but it doesn’t seem right.

Anyone have any idea?

Title says it all. I have a few Leo placements, and building my own business which demands visibility (doing it all myself) but I have a fear of posting on social media, saying the wrong thing, perceived as anything other than what I want, showing people my world, letting anyone in, etc.

Another aspect is my strong Saturn placement at 29 degrees in 7th Taurus. I used to choose awful relationships, and subsequently after my last (amazing but long distance) relationship, became a bit of a shut-in in the love department. Same reasons, hate being visible.

Anything I'm not seeing here with Pluto? This is a mid-day chart but I dont like giving my details away lol

First three pictures are the pus-filled bumps. The ones under my chin are white, and the ones on the side are skin coloured. All of them excrete something white and pastey when squeezed (not watery pus- but i dont know the word), and at the end of the day they look 'surfaced', as in, i can wipe them off with my oil cleansing. Then the cycle restarts the next day.

I recently read a post here about perioral dermatitis; my moustache area is very pale in comparison to directly in the vicinity of my nose which is red. I also have these white nodules on my nose sides too. What are these? i really want to remove them for good and nothing helps. Not AHA, BHA, Azleaic acid, adapalene. I should also say I am currently still treating my skin for dehydration, so the only active I use is azleaic, once a week.

additionally, I wanted to ask if the last slide is a clear case of PIE. I have this red colouring on both sides of my cheeks and on my chin.

Combination skin, acne-prone, Dehydration prone.

I've struggled with acne for around 11 years now. The active acne itself was mostly during my teens and other stressful times, but the congestion, texture, and resillient pimples remain constant. I have tried Tretanoin (granted, only made it to around 2 months before dehydration got the better of me), AHA/BHA, Azleaic acid, and even a 'gentle routine' - only using hyaluronic acid + B5, moisturiser, and cerave healing ointment.

I live in a hot, humid climate (sub-tropics; use aircon nightly), and previously lived in a cold, dry one where my skin was at its best acne wise, but dehydrated. At this moment I am healing dehydrated skin, again.

Here is my routine, although I dont have a schedule and am inconsistent with the actives.

AM:
(if i use healing ointment at night) cleanse with beauty of joseon cleansing balm
wellage b5 and hyaluronic acid serum
Physiogel Hypoallergenic Calming Relief A.I. Cream
Beauty Of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua Fresh Rice B5 Spf50

PM:
Remove makeup with bioderma miceller water
beauty of joseon cleansing balm
Either dr sam bunting cleanser or cerave salicylic acid cleanser
either wellage b5 and hyaluronic acid, or the ordinary azleaic acid (the latter never on the days i use the salicylic acid cleanser, and probably around once or twice a week).
Physiogel Hypoallergenic Calming Relief A.I. Cream

when im feeling dehydrated i put on CeraVe Healing Ointment

I'm currently again on my 'healing' routine after experiencing dehydrated skin again.

I wanted to ask, what am i doing wrong? what am i missing? I am so tired of having acne and scarring. Open to any advice.

I've had acne for many years, and was 'prescribed' physiogel red soothing cream from my old-school dermatologist when i was 16. I've cooled down my severe acne but it never truly disappeared, i still get very congested skin on my cheeks, forehead and chin, and always have texture.

I have combo and easily dehydrated skin, and since moving back to my hot and humid country my skin has gotten worse. The only thing I've consistently used throughout the years is physiogel, and im starting to suspect it has something to do with it (I used both cream and lotion).

Does anyone have any experience with it?

I've been trying to put my finger on this aesthetic for some time to produce a shoot... I'd say mystic __ but im just not sure what. Any help would be appreciated!!

edit: overwhelmed by the amount of comments.. so thankful and appreciative and everyone has their finger on the pulse here

I'm looking for a specific font that feels like the above images. Something mystic, something a bit dark and hidden and 'simmering'. Something veiled with long strokes. If you have any recommendations let me know!
