Beauty Help

I'm beginning to look a little ragged. I'm sick right now, so that's not helping matters, but even before then I've felt really run down and not healthy looking. I'm only 24, but I feel like I look at least 10 years older than that, and not good for that age, because my skin is all blotchy, red, starting to show fine lines, getting the beginning of circles and bags under my eyes, etc. I don't feel like my skin is bright, youthful, or soft, and I have terrible acne on top of it. My hair is ratty and starting to get a little thinner than it used to be, and is losing it's life and curl.

I take my vitamins, and I drink plenty of water, so I am doing some things right internally. I probably don't have the best diet, but it's not awful. I know I really don't get enough sleep. I'm overworked, and a vacation is no where in my foreseeable future, so I do have high stress levels.

Given all of these facts, I desperately need your advice on any miracle products, treatments, or lifestyle changes that you have found to work for any of these symptoms. I look in the mirror and want to drop kick something because I'm so upset at the way I've changed.

Any and all suggestions would be extremely appreciated. Thanks so much!

Sorry I have no miracle products to recommend - The first thing I would recommend is to try to get more sleep. You will feel better and the tired eyes and dark circles will go away. As for your diet try to stay away from junk for and eat lots of fruits and veggies. My dermatologist recommends staying away from caffeine and chocolate...easier said than done but it has helped. The stress from work and wedding planning can exacerbate acne and other skin problems. I NEVER broke out until the last few months. If you are really unhappy with your skin maybe you can see a good dermatologist- It has made a huge difference for me- I had an infection in my skin (gross I know) and it has lead to some serious breakouts...I was really depressed about it BUT I found an awesome Dr. who saved the day...She prescribed multiple product that I was totally depressed about having to use but my skin looks better than it has in months...it is almost all cleared up. Not to mention the few fine lines I had seem to have faded a bit.
I am sure you look beautiful and are just being hard on yourself!!! Maybe you could pamper yourself a bit- Get a hair cut and mani and pedi.
