I didn\u2019t feel heard, and when my skin started acting up, I felt like I had no other option but to figure it out by myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen when I turned 18, my skin started becoming more unpredictable\u201d, she said, \u201cI remember going into college, seeing myself in the mirror, and then just going home because I couldn\u2019t look at it, I didn\u2019t want to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXeDInWf67iPrfO2gEU8vQL-CLzuVvAZONv0t6lO-PmO3CHDP8q3bvXvB70S2h_5EfKDpUGa-Py3L-NgWSoFQG-M81PhkkcJCAYYRI8QXvAiZA0hcdbh6YeocJn2dmBtYJsZebVF?key=ZVI5qRgy_Nx5k9zBd00mY3Vm\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:641px;height:auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Natalie often used to suffer from breakouts on her cheeks<\/em>. Source: @TikTok<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you&#8217;re getting breakouts, you don&#8217;t feel in control. You just feel like you&#8217;re going to wake up with five new spots, then make them go away, but then more are going to come and it&#8217;s just a horrible mental mindset. I also have PCOS, which I didn\u2019t know I had at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polycystic ovary syndrome, commonly known as PCOS, affects <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos\/\">one in every ten women<\/a> in the UK, and symptoms can include excessive hair growth, as well as oily skin, which can lead to increased acne.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think having PCOS doesn&#8217;t always mean you\u2019ll have acne, but it means you&#8217;re much more likely to. You could live the exact same life as somebody else and you&#8217;re the one that gets acne because there&#8217;s a number of different things happening hormonally.\u201d Natalie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has more recently struggled with <a href=\"https:\/\/radiancemag.co.uk\/2025\/05\/23\/perioral-dermatitis-everything-you-need-to-know\/\">perioral dermatitis<\/a>, an inflammation of the area surrounding the mouth, which can commonly affect women of all skin types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more Your Stories: <a href=\"https:\/\/radiancemag.co.uk\/2025\/05\/16\/my-rosacea-healing-journey\/\">Rosacea: My Journey of Healing &#8211; Radiance<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/radiancemag.co.uk\/2025\/04\/30\/embracing-the-colours-of-our-skin-our-journeys-with-vitiligo\/\">Embracing the colours of our skin: our journeys with vitiligo &#8211; Radiance<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@voguemagazine\/video\/7483544864194563374?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc&amp;web_id=7431153180064941601\">Amanda Seyfried<\/a> spoke out earlier this month about also having the condition, and has been praised by fans for her honesty online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natalie said: \u201cI love Amanda Seyfried. It&#8217;s really annoying, (perioral dermatitis) I&#8217;m not going to lie. It sucks because I&#8217;ve had so many friends get it too, and I\u2019m thinking \u201cthat&#8217;s s*** for you\u201d because it does go away, but very rarely fully goes away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It normally shows up as small pink rashes or spots around the mouth, although the exact cause is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMine has gotten better now. I know how to manage it, and it\u2019s just one of those things you can always feel in the background. I said to my housemate the other day, \u201cI&#8217;d actually really like my face to stop tingling. That would be great. It would be really nice if I could just go to bed and not have a tingling moustache.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of Natalie\u2019s highest-viewed videos include debunking viral skincare trends, but she too once fell victim to believing random remedies when it comes to improving your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI used to put lemon juice on my skin to lighten my freckles. I didn&#8217;t like them at all, the irony is that I don&#8217;t have any freckles anymore, and I actually wish that I had them now. I also used to make face masks out of baking soda.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdhposUNxA1JWkPJKaByZXV6HzxvsqVXJsmhURzyZMKS9A3DIwj3CUGIqLSWgA7_0dlKqqRe8AHS2rWZ0sIiAEwczVr8Z3hA4Fhyzc57hSBJ8fD7mERmEqkk95vkGbiib1GN21TiA?key=ZVI5qRgy_Nx5k9zBd00mY3Vm\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:252px;height:auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Natalie&#8217;s freckles in her twenties vs now<\/em>.

Stop trying to get your skin to be even better, because there is a ceiling to it being worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou&#8217;re going to have the rest of your life to use skincare, but when you&#8217;re younger you&#8217;re never going to realise that. Your skin now is probably the youngest it&#8217;s ever going to be.
