I hate my skin...

I am 35 years old and can’t go anywhere without makeup because of my awful skin.

I don’t understand why it’s been so bad for the past 2-3 years when I’ve never had a problem in my entire life (including as a teen!) other than the normal, occasional zit here and there.

Aside from 2 pimples, everything else on my face is hyperpigmentation from bad breakouts. My forehead broke out LAST OCTOBER and has never recovered.

I take very good care of my health/diet, I drink tons of water, I wash my face daily, use toner, moisturize, exfoliate... I have no idea why it won’t improve!!!

I just ordered a chemical peel as a last ditch effort but I feel so hopeless.

Does anyone have any advice who has been in my shoes? I know I should see a dermatologist but it’s not very affordable right now. I’ll go eventually if I’ve exhausted all options.

Help!
