Hi Katie, I had super bad skin until I cut out all dairy, even around my period no break outs purely from doing this. I know you like cheese and chocolate but maybe trial and error 1 week to see if zero dairy helps 🙂
I think you're beautiful (truly! Have always thought that) inside and out, girl.
We all struggle with insecurities.
I still get hormonal breakouts at 38 years old. It sucks, but then it goes away.
Hi Katie, I started watching you when you were with your ex. I did watch your acutane videos too because I wanted it but Dr wouldn't prescribe it, turns out he was right and I have rosacea, not acne, but I didn't understand that at the time, I just though spots & redness = acne so acutane would work etc. I'm yet to find anything that does help, but that's another story! I love watching your destash vids from when you were packing and I thought you were really strong for seperating despite the planned wedding etc, I wish I had done it instead of staying in a loveless marriage for a decade. Sorry to go on! Love your vids and I think you're absolutely stunning with and without makeup x
Hi, I started following you back when you were part of Gleam and would appear in the videos of the Brit Crew. I just remember thinking you are so kind, cool and beautiful – i still think that! I hope you feel better about yourself and look back at these videos with a feeling of pride how far you've come! xx
I totally started following you from the Accutane journey as I too took that journey & I found it so helpful! Those La Roche Posay products are great! TBH I still suffer from acne just not nearly as bad as it used to be…
Are you still using skin and me?
I started following you because of your Roaccutane Journey and was always looking forward to Updates since I found it so interesting!! Then I just stuck around — because I‘m also a tiny human (150cm on good days 😂), but also since I really got to enjoy your content.
Not sure if of interest, but anyway: I have quite normal skin, prone to breakouts and dryness (while being oily 🥲) and the only thing that really helped me was a good skincare routine. About a year ago I stumbled upon Olena Beley and her Three Step Moisture Method and my Skin had a literal glowup. Only had to buy some Hyaluronic acid (I’m using the one from The Ordinary) and had to start wetting my face before applying that + moisturizer afterward (without letting the face dry!). The insight of the moisturizer being there to keep the moisture (aka hydrating product/water) in your skin and stopping it from evaporating was honestly game changing 😂 I used to only moisturize and kept wondering why my skin was still dry and flaky afterwards. Lesson learned I guess 🙈
Oh, Katie…I completely resonate with you about not feeling ‘naturally pretty’. I started wearing make-up at 15 to cover acne, and have become very ‘expert’ at it over the years. I almost feel like I have two different face-identities. One with make-up and one without. I often don’t recognise my natural face, because I’m so used to only seeing my face with make-up. I’m very grateful to have perfectly clear skin now, but I still go through the motions of covering my face every day. My acne was hormonal, so no topical cream helped it. I need you to know that you are naturally gorgeous. If I saw you on the street I would do a double-take. I wish we could see ourselves the way others see us xx
Katie!! To answer your question, I found you due to the Accutane videos, but I subscribed because of YOU! I quite simply adore you and instantly felt like I’d found a long lost friend. Been invested ever since! 🤍 I hope you come to the USA one day, as I’d love to meet you!
I started following you from your accutane blogs – there's one scene in particular where you were crying (it was heartbreaking to watch) that resonated with me more than anything really ever had. To know that I wasn't alone in it and that someone as beautiful and kind and lovely as you had acne but was still rocking life, meant a lot to me. You're actually the person who inspired me to start my own acne blog… I don't want to link drop but I'd love it if you could give it a read Kate! So much love and I totally relate to how much of an impact your skin can have on your mental health but you're so beautiful regardless, honestly 💜
Pcos?
wow, great video.
I started following you from the early early days– when you only had a blog! I, too, have gone through my own acne journey and it can be so disheartening and make you feel just absolutely horrible. Especially with too much makeup or not enough, etc. But seriously, your face, figure, style, smile, eyes, hair, everything are so beautiful. YOU are beautiful, naturally.
Plus, as an American, I find your accent absolutely beautiful and so charming. Also I love the way you say Tuesday. "Chewsday" lol so cute. And I'm obsessed with that black dress with the ruching on the side! It looks so good!
Katie 🥰 I have been here since 2016, I think I found you through Louise but I can’t remember , your weekly vlogs and dates with Kate videos got me through a really really awful breakup and low time mentally, you are such a beautiful person inside and out & it makes my heart so full hearing you say how safe you feel in your relationship because you deserve it ❤
Our skin is very similar and I'm currently under derm care and on spironolactone. I feel the same as you about my face with and without makeup! thanks for being so comforting 🙂
I started following you when you helped Louise film her videos, on her recommendation. I instantly loved all your content. I really enjoy your vlogs, loved the old make up videos, loved the toastie comp! Haha
I found you because of your roaccuctane videos and have been here since 🙂 I also went on roaccutane and your videos were so helpful
I found you from the initial decluttering series, and stuck around for your beauty tips and 'cause I like your chat 😃 I just like your thought process. I totally relate about the skin issues wrt confidence as I have super sensitive skin, it goes to rosacea with most things! … And Maurice; let's not undervalue the contribution of Mr Maurice 😻
Hello Katie! I've had hormonal acne and sensitive skin since I was a 12 and I'm 27. I definitely relate in not feeling pretty natural faced. I have redness and scarring and I have tried everything.. I always try to remind myself that no one is perfect but it is hard on bad days. 💛
Try dove soap for acne it works for some people
I found you through you dating/sex content a few years back just before you met G. You come across as so authentic and relatable which is why I always love your vlogs. Feels like i'm watching a friend xxx
Hi Katie, I`m an og follower and have been following you on here right from the start I think, when u still worked at gleam and long before you documented your acne journey here.. And I just wanted to say, that I*ve been looking up to you ever since! Not only have I always been "envying" ur natural beauty (yes, definitely also without make up 😉 ) but ur style, job, living in such a beautiful city like London, etcpp.. I hope I`m not sounding like the biggest creep here, haha but what I`m trying to get across is that I reeally enjoy ur content because you`re just relatable and we have much in common, e.g. the love for true crime, (halloween) make up, cats… Also, I`m turning 31 in a few months and am a fellow acne- and breakout-sufferer, so I feel you on that level big time. I guess I just wanted to say thank u, for being so real and sharing the highs as well as the lows.. 🙂
