href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/acne-treatment\">acne<\/a> might be a common skin goal, everyone\u2019s journey to clearer skin is different. Why? Because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/blog-skinandme-com-ask-a-dermatologist-where-do-my-spots-come-from\/\">spots<\/a> can be triggered by everything from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-how-do-hormones-affect-my-skin\/\">hormonal<\/a> changes to mistakenly using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-comedogenic-and-non-comedogenic-products\/\">pore-blocking<\/a> products and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news? Once you\u2019ve had your skin assessed by an expert (shout out to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\">Skin + Me Prescribers<\/a>) then positive progress towards smooth, clear skin is in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skin + Me subscriber, Evie Venables is a case in point. In fact, she was so happy after discovering a skincare solution that worked for her, she ended up working with us over at HQ \u2013 in the Dermatology Support Team \u2013 supporting others to reach their skin goals too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on for Evie\u2019s inspiring story, and what she\u2019s learnt along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi Evie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>Tell us about your skin. When did your acne begin?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Evie: <\/strong>My acne began when I was 18 years old. I managed to go through all my teenage years at secondary school with absolutely perfect skin, and then suddenly it hit me as I left home to go to dance college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>How long did it take you to work out what was best for your skin and switch you onto Skin + Me?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Evie: <\/strong>I spent a good two years and more money than I\u2019d like to admit desperately trying different products and procedures that would help to clear it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>Were you always an advocate for simple, science-led skincare or have trends tempted you along the way?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Evie: <\/strong>Even before my acne developed, I was really interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skin-and-me-ask-a-dermatologist-skincare-trends-2022\/\">skincare trends<\/a>. I used to love having really lengthy routines with all sorts of lotions and potions that I thought would be best for my skin. Little did I realise that actually less is more, especially when it comes to skincare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>Was purging ever a challenge for you? How easy did you find it to stick to your new Daily Doser routine?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Evie: <\/strong>Yes! I had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/mythbuster-purging-explained\/\">skin purging<\/a> during my first couple of months using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/daily-doser-spotlight-2\/\">Daily Doser<\/a>. Though this was really upsetting, this was my last option so I felt like I should at least stick it out for six months. Sure enough, it began to clear up around month three to four. Now I couldn\u2019t be more glad that I stuck with it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>We often overlook the psychological effect the health of our skin can have on our day-to-day life. How does the progress you\u2019ve made make you feel?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Evie: <\/strong>I completely agree! No one truly knows the effects acne can have on your mental well-being until you\u2019ve been there yourself. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"334\" height=\"594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9pPa0CEGZeY\" title=\"Evie\u2019s 10 months of #PositivePersonalProgress \u2728\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I was actually in full-time dance training at the time so I spent most of my time standing in front of a mirror. Obviously, all that time looking at my skin left my self-esteem unbelievably low, making me feel quite depressed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, waking up and my skin not being the first thing on my mind is just incredible. I have the mental capacity to focus on other things and I have regained my confidence to be bold and go out there and try new things \u2013 like my role supporting other people on their own skincare journeys at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/\">Skin + Me<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me: <\/strong><em>We get a lot of feedback that <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-what-does-healthy-skin-look-like\/\"><em>healthy skin<\/em><\/a><em> gives subscribers less time in front of the mirror and more time to live their lives.

There are some really great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/five-things-to-know-about-blackheads-and-influencers-who-understand-acne\/\">influencers<\/a> out there who give \u2018realness\u2019 airtime.
