These days, I'm afraid to look in the mirror, so I'm taking care of removing blemishes.

In the past, my skin looked so clear even when I looked in the mirror after washing my face, but these days, I keep noticing areas that feel particularly unfamiliar. Especially when I'm in a brightly lit cafe or sitting by a window with natural light streaming in, I can really feel my skin tone changing. Trying to cover it up with makeup seems limiting, so I've decided to fundamentally remove my blemishes. I've tried using popular functional cosmetics and daily using touted skincare products, but removing blemishes that have already become deeply ingrained is harder than I thought. I'm now regretting neglecting sunscreen when I was younger. Can I regain my former vitality with diligent care even now? People around me always say dermatological treatments are the answer, but has anyone had success removing blemishes with home care or their own unique methods? It would be incredibly helpful if you could share your experiences and tell me which routines have been most effective.
