#star acne patches

[backontrackdiary]

Why do millenials and above get so triggered with the fucking star acne patches

[meaninginmakeup]

Products were gifted for free by OOTD skincare in exchange for my honest reviews. I really adored the various colors that these star acne patches come in. As you can see in the pictures, you get a sheet of each color. I found that these worked as well as other acne patches I’ve used over the years with the added bonus of being in a fun shape instead of the boring circles a lot of patches come in.

I’ll make a separate post once I’ve tried out the foot mask properly with a before and after. But I did the first mask on my mom and it made a huge difference in her dry skin on her feet. I’ve mentioned before that she’s diabetic and people who have diabetes can have really dry skin that leads to cracks and/or cuts that can lead to infection and even amputation in extreme cases if not properly taken care of. So skin health is super important for her and I usually do a foot mask on her at least every other week to keep her skin in check. This foot mask requires a rinse off but the tops of her feet were so smooth after use, and it got rid of a lot of the top dry layer of skin on the bottom of her feet thanks to the exfoliating acids in the mask.

asher and acne

○ teen asher who would be cursed with the most acne prone skin and had bouts of acne frequently

○ teen asher who would easily break out from stress, and being ash he would stress out in his mind but never tell someone, the only sign being his sudden break outs

○ teen asher who was made fun of for his acne, called names and constantly shamed for not using proper skincare

○ teen asher who, try as he might, could never find the right products that would work on his skin. in fact, nothing really did

○ teen asher who would wear skin colour discreet pimple patches or even steal his sister's make up to try to cover up as much of his acne as he could

○ teen asher who developed a skin picking habit out of anxiety, making his acne worse

○ teen asher who was so insecure about his acne, he would cover his face up in photos, and fixate on how prominent his acne was is any photos where it's shown

○ teen asher who never thought he would overcome his skin insecurity

~

● adult asher who has acne scars from picking his skin when he was younger

● adult asher who still feels slightly self conscious anytime someone mentions pimples

● adult asher who thought he'd never fully get over his anxiety about his skin, even when grown up

● adult asher who, upon meeting babe, saw them wearing bright starface pimple patches anytime they got a random pimple

● adult asher who thought it was so cool, having funky little stars dotted across their face, and how they didn't seem to hide the patches or shy away from his gaze on their skin

● adult asher who wanted so badly to have that level of confidence with something so attention-grabbing and bold from something he's still self conscious about

● adult asher who, after he got together with babe, sheepishly asked about those patches... could he try one on? just to see how it looked on him, like whether they suited him or not... if that was ok with them?

● adult asher who got compliments and praise from babe who happily lets him use the patches, saying how cute they were on him, how cool he looked, how well it matched with his style

● adult asher who started to wear the starface pimple patches in public anytime he broke out and felt insecure, needing to cover them up. and getting smiles from the pack when they saw him embrace this new look

● adult asher who eventually got comfortable with babe kissing his cheeks, kissing his acne scars, even his pimple patches. them calling him their starboy

● adult asher who feels like maybe having pimples and acne scars isn't so bad anymore

everyone talking about how connor is obsessed with his looks when you KNOW kevin carries a pocket mirror and a switch comb and travel hair gel on his person at all times and freaks out about his acne

TW for skin picking

I think I finally found a way to healthily combat my anxious skin picking problem.

I found these star-shaped, hydrocolloid and salicylic acid medicated acne patches. They look like star stickers, but are actually like, zit bandaids. Everytime I get the urge to pick at my skin compulsively I put a star patch on the acne that’s bothering me and it’s working.

WOAH FANART FROM THE OC GUY??? Impossible… also card redraw moment

[lollytea]

I think Mabel Pines would get quite a bit of acne as a teenager and I don't think anything would make her happier than the fact that those pimple patches in the shape of hearts and stars exist

OCifying the Pomeboys

(because my pookie wanted it and i aint saying no to a bad bitch 🫡)

Extra design notes under the cut!

Epel:

- Apple stem ahoge and leaf-shaped spikes

- His star acne patches are supposed to mimic the little stickers people put on apples

- Apple seed shaped eyebrows

Vil:

- Has fair skin but it's still a healthy color and not ghostly white

- Idk if it's obvious enough but I tried to make him look butterfly-like

- Fluffier hair and eyelashes, thin and pointed nose, symmetrical hair ends

Rook:

- PUT HIS FRECKLES BACK PERMANENTLY TWST

- Also gave his hair more volume so he looks less like the berries and cream guy

- You cant tell from this angle but I hc him with an aquiline nose

Obligatory pookie cameo(if u see this hi ily)

[baalzebufo]

oh yeah... redrew my older pines designs + also gideon is here because I like him and will inflict him on everyone. probably in their early 20s here, I didnt think too hard about the specifics. also some headcanons

dipper started testosterone finally so he's got the classic 'shitty little puberty stache' and also hes breaking out w acne bit. wears a lot of denim on denim. him and wendy swap hats every summer its their tradition. he has a bomber jacket with lots of alien and cryptid patches. sometimes he has kind of a mullet going on

mabel regularly chops all her hair off in the mirror with some scissors whenever the impulse hits so at any given point of her life it can be either waist-length or a buzzcut. she got into making kandi and has a bunch of themed cuffs. rhinestones. sparkles. thats a tamagotchi necklace

gideon has embraced his inner cowboy and got some riding chaps ostensibly because he has a motorcycle now but also because he thinks he looks cool. his bolo tie is a replica of his old cursed variant because fiddling with it is a comfort to him. hes got a custom leather jacket with his star embroidered on the back

hes also so tall because. well honestly my headcanon is he has an insane growth spurt in his teens. have you SEEN bud gleeful? he's huge. hes got Big Dude Genes. also honestly i just think its funny if he goes from being knee-high to 6 feet tall in the space of like, 6 months.

(i was gonna add other characters to this but i got distracted so thats for another time)

[moonstruckme]

hiii mae!!! congrats on 7k, I absolutely love your work💗💗

could you do thumbprint cookies with remus or james and reader who is insecure about her skin because she has acne and/or breakouts?? 🫶

(I think I’m addicted to your page🫶)

Thank you lovely, I decided to do James <3 (and it's okay I'm addicted to being on here, just make sure you go outside sometime today)

it does take him a while to wrap his head around the fact that you might not be confident. not only because he's so confident, but also because look at you and you're so beautiful and how can you find anything not to like in that face

after getting past the denial stage of grief, his top priority becomes making sure you know how much he thinks you're beautiful and that your acne doesn't bother him in the least

"sweetheart, it's your face. obviously I love everything to do with it, don't be ridiculous"

makes a point to kiss your face and tell you how pretty you are even more than usual (which is a lot)

is supportive of you doing whatever you need to to feel confident (whether that's extra skincare, concealer, whatever) but also makes sure you know that he could care less if you do those things, he truly thinks you're perfect as you are

does think those little star pimple patches are fucking adorable, though

"I don't need you to cover them up, angel, you look incredible right now, but if you are going to can we get the blue ones this time?" (you've had to explain to him multiple times that they do different things and aren't just for fashion)

is a menace when it comes to skincare, you cannot get him to stop touching your face and kissing it when you're trying to keep it clean

eventually you probably succumb, and let him love on you as much as he likes (who could begrudge him that)

HI BABE can u do reader with acne x sevika cuz ive been breaking out and i feel rlly bad abt it😓 needa little pick me up is all and whats the best way to do it than being delusional!

of course! i'm breaking out rn too because of my period we're twinning hehe!

men and minors dni

honestly? i think sevika finds your zits kinda cute.

they're like freckles... but they just change places. she treats them just like freckles or birthmarks-- like they're little 'x's marking the spot for her smooches.

sometimes, this results in her getting a mouthful of the medicated spot treatment you put on your pimples.

"bleh, babe, what the fuck?!" sevika groans as she pulls away from the sweet forehead peck she just placed on one of your newest zits. you laugh, helping her wipe the white cream off her lips.

if you're like me, and you're someone who picks at their acne-- sevika will always be there to smack your fingers away from your face. "quit it, you'll make yourself bleed." she pouts. she'll hold your hands in hers until she's sure you're distracted from the urge.

she'd find it adorable if you wear pimple patches or bandaids over your zits. she'd be buying you the cutest patches too-- the star ones or heart ones or little cartoons printed on the bandaids.

taglist!

[cripplecharacters]

I don’t really know if the is the best place to ask, so if you have suggestions for other places to ask please tell me. But I’m trying to figure out if it would be ok to give a character vitiligo. She is the god of the sky who has been cast out and forced to live in a human body as punishment for something (im still figuring out the lore, but whatever she did probably has to do with the fact the world has no more light when the story begins) but basically I’m thinking well she was a god she had clouds and stars on her skin, and it kinda feels like vitiligo might just kinda fit? I’m not super good at explaining things I’m sorry. but I’m really weary of accidentally like making disability and magic feel too intertwined kinda? Sorry I’m bad at phrasing things

One of the things I’ve thought to kinda help with any of the potential problems include making sure to include regular characters with vitiligo as well, so it’s just part of the world (I’d probably do this regardless, I’m determined to just have a lot of disability representation throughout the world, mobility aids, facial differences, dwarfism, etc just throughout the world)

I’m also a bit worried because I know in the research I’ve done two of the biggest ways I’ve seen people talking about it effecting them is bullying and ablism something I just don’t want in my fantasy world as a disabled person and also just like who in their right mind would be mean to a god over how her skin looks. And light sensitivity a thing that seems like it might be odd for the goddess of the sky to have

this is getting long and so I think I’ll leave it here

Hey!

Suggestion on other places to ask : @/vitiligo-is-not-a-trend, since we don't have any mods with vitiligo.

The concept of the character having a visual representation of her celestial body on her human one is pretty cool, but you are probably right in worrying about the aestheticization (is that a word?) of her condition. Especially if you want it to be in shapes that vitiligo doesn't really happen in, like well, stars. It's a visual trope at this point, just like hearts or whatever else.

The thing is, there's a ton of various skin conditions and very little of them have this as a potential issue. I know that there's barely any skin conditions that are considered pretty or cool in any way whatsoever, but you can choose from the ones that aren't that too. Hell, you could give them acne to represent stars. It would be interesting to have it shown as a thing that a god character could have and not something that only comes with ugly teenage boy characters or offensive caricatures of fat people. If my outbreaks happened in star shapes it'd be pretty cool. Or unique at least. If you want something that comes with patches, psoriasis is also right there. A lot of people have it, and I've never seen it depicted as a neutral (let alone positive) thing that people have. It doesn't have the "aestheticization" problem that vitiligo rep does, even though it can literally come with white patches on the skin as well.

Regardless of this specific character, it's always good to have regular characters with vitiligo and other visible conditions. But if you want this character to have it, especially in shapes that it doesn't actually come in, with magic symbolism, I'd advise rethinking this idea and/or asking someone who actually has vitiligo.
