Social media has curated this false sense of reality for all of us. As we scroll through our feed, we see photographs of models, influencers, and even our own friends with poreless skin, Facetuned jawlines, and a filtered appearance. This obviously makes us feel like we’re the problem if our skin has spots or breakouts. But guys breaking news: textured skin, zit-covered skin, and hyperpigmentation-ridden skin is real and it’s completely normal.
