Daniella Karagach knows the toll acne can take on one's confidence.
The Dancing With the Stars pro, 31, recently opened up about how she combated the difficult condition after struggling to keep her skin clear while on tour across the country and on the hit competition series.
"When I first got on the show, my skin went crazy. I had no idea how much makeup I would be wearing. And I never really thought about it. Once they started layering this makeup on me, I never actually knew how to take it off properly," Karagach explained.
"I was crying every single day on tour because I was so depressed with my skin. I was so embarrassed," the performer admitted. "I felt like when everyone looked at me, they only saw my acne. I was in such a bad place. And no one knew because I never talked about it. And it was really scary."
After Karagach's life became less hetic and she found the products that worked best for her complextion, everything turned around. "It took about a month for my skin to calm down. Once I got off the tour, my skin was just crystal clear," she said. "It was just crazy to me because I was really struggling for two years. I didn't think there was anything out there that could help. I cannot tell you how grateful I am."
Karagach cited Face Reality Sulfur Spot Treatment as a helpful method to clear up breakouts. "The spot treatment is great. It's the only spot treatment I ever found that actually works. Those little stickers never worked for me. They're supposed to suck out the acne, but not for me. With the spot treatment, it literally works overnight. That is my go-to. I swear by it," the blonde beauty noted.
The entertainer also found certain ways of applying her makeup that makes it look like her acne is nonexistent. "I learned not to put the powder on so heavily, especially if you're doing your makeup a long time in advance and you'll have to reapply it anyway," Karagach explained.
"You develop a lot of creases under the eye, so they say just to keep it fresh, put a little bit of powder, but in order to kind of brighten your face up a little bit they just reapply the concealer," she added. "The concealer that I personally love is the Nars concealer just because it's very light but it's also a creamy consistency where when I do put it on it kind of just brushes on effortlessly without creasing. And I absolutely love it and I use it for spots too. It covers everything so nicely."
