I apologize for the low quality picture but this is me, SHAVED. I can't afford to keep going to electrolysis sessions right now and can't waste products on high end make up and skincare.

I've never been able to find a shade match for my skin regardless, so covering it feels impossible. I've tried both green concealer for redness and peach/orange for the blue 5 o clock undertone. Nothing worked.

I feel hopeless. How do i cover this? How do I improve this? I know people notice and it's my biggest insecurity. I can't leave the house without makeup or a mask.

I've also tried exfoliating, both a gentle scrub for the face and glycolic acid, it didn't help even after being consistent. So what in the world do I do? I can't keep living like this:,) Any tips appreciated

sorry for the dry crusty skin but I have never been so confused . this whole area was only treated fully two times. obviously the grow out is different , before is a week and after is about 2 days but oh my god! i wasn't expecting it to work so well, and I thought i was imagining the results at first. I am beyond happy.

I feel line I'm going crazy. I only had 1 session of electrolysis on my neck, but two on my chin.
Obviously the grow out is at different points but i feel like there are some hairs that are gone/more sparse on my chin. Either way, I will keep going, and deal with the scarring later!

So i have these two spots on my leg, right next to each other. They were pinples before but somehow turned permanent and won't leave. They don't hurt or anything but I have no idea how to get rid of them.

What product would you use?? I already use Glycolic acid for the strawberry skin but I'm not sure its helping with those specific spots, so I'd like to incorporate something else into my routine.

Any help appreciated!

Hey! I tried asking on another subreddit but i thought id tey here too.

I have an insanely high concentration of hairs on my chin and got them treated a week ago with electrolysis.

Now, a week later, the skin is still extremely red, tender and irritated. I only use sunscreen and a very gentle, perfume free skin barrier repairing cream it.

For the first week it was peeling, now there's just immflamation, pimples and it almost looks purple.

I'm worried it will scar or be permanent. What is it and what do I do??? I'm really scared this isn't fixable. Pictures aren't the best but hopefully it gets the message across.

Hi! So i got my chin treated on the 31st of July, and it's the spot where I have an extremely high concentration of hairs.

The thing is, it's been a whole week and the redness won't leave- it's almost purple now and still very tender. I use sunscreen and a barrier repair cream over it but it's still not going away.

The neck area was treated two days later and is healing very well. My chin is my biggest insecurity and struggle and now i'm scared it's scarred or something.

What is it and do you have any tips to fix it??

I went in on a two hour session on friday, then today, and one more next week. We're still not done with one round of my full face, which means treating it once takes about 6 hours.

I'm exhausted, embarassed, ashamed and broken. Part of me just wants to give up because it's so hard financially and mentally. I don't even want to work on improving the other parts of myself because this bothers me so much.

Does anyone else have so many hairs that it takes this long to treat all areas? I have alot more on my side burns that isn't visible here. I just feel so alone with this

my 5 o clock shadow is there no matter how much i pluck, shave, or cover it with color correctors, concealer or foundation. it never goes away.

i've started electrolysis but its a long process. my skin is always painful and i get lots of pimples. i just dont know what to do. i cant even get a close shave.

the image is a few hours after shaving. i feel so hopeless. how would you cover this? i have very pale cool tone skin despite the lighting and can't find foundation to match, and peach/orange colour collectors don't work. any advice on how to get a closer shave would also be appreciated <3
