Lorde Is Not About To Hear Your Advice On Acne Solution
Lorde is not ready to hear your advice on how she can control her adult acne.
“For the real though, acne sucks,” she said in an Instagram Story video after sharing a photo of herself using an acne LED light therapy device. She then explains that she’s had acne for “years and years” but that she encounters people who say things like “you know what worked for me? Moisturizing!”
Lorde then describes the unsolicited skin care tips that she’s been given over the years. “Make a mask out of honey, Greek yogurt, and avocado!” “All you need to do is buy an apricot scrub!” “Coconut oil. The secret is coconut oil!”
She ends by rolling her eyes at the suggestion that her acne is caused by a lack of hygiene. “And the very worst one, of course, is when people think you just dirty,” she says. “‘Do you wash your face?’ It’s like ‘yes! I wash my face, I’m just genetically cursed!'”
“For everyone out there who’s got actual bad skin — not the kind of bad skin that you can just wear fancy cream for a couple days and it gets better — I feel your pain,” she says. “We’ll get there. I promise.”
