Hello how are you
Today I kinda found out I have strertch marks and it kinda drives me crazy even tho I know there normal...
I LOVE BELIEF omg I didn’t know it was popular now I love it even more 😂
I love u!!!
hey hey, for whoever this may help. Use the actual aloe vera plant and apply it on the face and leave it for 5 minutes then moisturizerize. :)
I am turning 17 next month and saw your video - 17 things I learnt through 17 years And now I am here , I have all those problems
I have terrible skin and it really sucks because I am pretty young so I am the only one out of all my friends with acne. But I have learned to accept it and love myself! Ava you have helped me get to where I am today with my self love! Love you!!❤
I used to hate myself when my best friend ditched me.I could feel him getting distant and I tried everything in my power to make us stay friends.When i once tried to talk about it to him he completely shut me out.I still to date don't know the reason why. I even got kicked out of my own friend circle and it used to kill me seeing them do things without me.But now I'm starting to realize that maybe he just didn't want to be friends with me as simple as that and he found other people who matches with his wavelength and I can't force someone to be friends with me.ily Ava❤️
Ava just brightens my mood every time she uploads!☺️💕
i have been rly struggling with trich (hair pulling) and videos like these srsly help me feel less alone. like even though we dont struggle with the same things, it helps me feel less like its less odd bc in reality, everyone has issues that they go through and mine happens to be trich and anxiety. thank you sm ava for these vids, they rly help bring ppl together and cast light on lesser discussed issues, you are srsly a huge inspiration
I literally NEVER comment on a video but I love these types of videos so much, it feels like we're besties!!💕 I also saw a few stretch marks a couple of months ago and I was so happy to see it because it was a sign that I was healthy and thriving!❤️✨
UM I NEEDED THIS ❤️❤️❤️ I LITERALLY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH AND BINGE YOUR VIDS WHEN IM SUPPOSED TO BE SLEEPING AHAH😂😂💗💗

I feel confident af until I go to the beach with my skinny friends
Girl please make a podcast!! I’d be your number 1 listener
this video is exactly what i needed
Have you tried cutting out dairy ? That can cause a lot of brake outs
yall are beautiful
KEEP DOING THESE VIDEOS
you are one of the best humans on this earth -- you deserve the world Ava, you've helped so many people :)
This acne will pass. But first huhuhuhuuuhuhuuu
I’m struggling so bad with my skin😞😞😞
This video really puts a lot of things in perspective for me and I felt like I really needed that. Love these types of videos🥰❤️
I'm struggling to get myself moving. My mind is stopping me from moving and I can't start working out, even though it makes me happy. I'm also struggling with my acne. I've seen a dermathologist half a year ago but it still hasn't gotten better.
Dont think you arent enough or not *Skinny* enough, society tells young girls that skinny is in when really it is just society's way of thinking, if you are chubby like me and you feel that you arent good enough YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, read it again, idk who came up with these super unrealistic body goals of big boobs, small waist, big butt, SCREAMS UNHUMAN. Please remember skinny or chubby you are beautiful the way you are PERIOTT. 😉😌❤❤
i see u
I don't think I hate my body shape or my body in general, I am just disgusted by some parts of my body, like my back and my face with acne. I'm watching so many "how to love yourself" videos but nobody really talks about feeling disgusted by our bodies..
💛💛💛
I just got stretch marks this is exactly what I needed
you are one of my favorite creators and this is why :)
It’s because of the mask luv
my acne. i hate it. makes me feel like the ugliest person in the world. and my glasses. along with my body.
Going through the same thing🤍 thank you for sharing and making people feel less alone. This helped a lot!! Love you girl
One of my favourite phrases ~ Aim higher than thin and young and pretty.♡ Also, loved the video ava, you're a beautiful inspiration!
I absolutely LOVE your videos. As for the acne, it might have something to do with wearing masks. Have you looked into the laundry detergent that you are cleaning the masks with? I would def go for like an unscented natural detergent. The detergents we use for our clothes aren't really made to touch our faces and if they have a scent or harsh chemicals in them it could be causing some of the flair-ups that you are experiencing. Of course, you know your skin better than I ever will. Just a suggestion because I know I had issues with gain detergent being used to wash my masks. Caused a bunch of acne on my cheeks. I swapped over to these natural laundry sheets and had a lot less issues. XOXO
Thank you sm i needed this
You have such a beautiful soul:)
Since lockdown I've been struggling with acne issues and overtime it gotten so much worst that it affect my mental health. I can't talk to a person straight in their eyes cus I'm too embarrassed. I can't take selfies without beauty filter on and it only made me pressured coz people thought I glew up and became pretty when in reality, it's the opposite. I don't respond to videocalls. I'm too insecure and the worst thing is I can't even buy products to ease my struggle--not even a moisturizer, I'm too broke and unfortunate, it enrages me so much. I'm not trying to invalidate people with money and struggles with this issue, but it will be less harder if only I have the means. Cuz rn I can't do anything but to feel disgusted w my face. I can't even try, I feel so helpless
i LOVE ava
Thank you so muchhhhhhhhhhhh!
You should make a podcast. I would listen to it all of the time. You have so many important things to say.
Oahu youtuber here!!!!! 🙋🏻♀️ new subscriber too!!! it's so cool watching other local youtubers! lol.
anyone know of any good and clean products for skin texture? i have some pretty deep acne scars from picking my face when i was younger and at this point i don’t think they’ll completely go away but i’ll try anything to make them better
also... i’m 21 and i’ve been struggling with acne since i was about 12, can anyone relate? i feel like i’m the only person who hasn’t caught a skin break
i just wanted to say you are literally my favorite youtuber ur sooooooo pretty and ur so real i literally feel like im listening to advice from the big sister i dont have
Ilyyyy queeenn
you kind of remind me of my babysitter from way back when...she was so sweet and looks exactly like you but I'd talk to her about everything i struggled w/ when i hated my body growing up. it took me 4 or 5 years to finally accept me the eay i am. yeah, i still struggle but i'm not as hateful i was before. also ily Ava!! you're gorgeous, down to earth, understanding. thank u for these videos! you're the only person i can watch talk for a long time about this topic (: self confidence boost ✅
I hate everything about myself but you make me want to love myself
I literally love you you are my soulmate friend
I literally feel your pain!! I used to never get acne and now since I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten it so much more than I used to. 😩 You still look beautiful!! Good luck 💓💓
I enjoyed your content a lot! I have been trying to look for a NLworld vid like yours that really teaches the topics in this vid. 👍 👌Your video actually is similar to the videos from this new Dr Ethan! His demonstrations are helpful and I actually learned a lot for my exams! Go see his YT out and give Doctor Ethan a like! 👉 #DoctorEthanOnNLworld
You are like a big sister to me
I never thought that u r half Filipino not until I visit da description box. Btw I’m a Filipino 🤗
I struggled with hormonal acne after I had my daughter. I am on bactrim and it has helped tremendously! Ask your doc about it it has changed my life. And it’s not as intense as accutane.
Hey I love you so much and you always help me to feel more confident. I used to have the same problem with acne all over my cheek(and still do sometimes). If it’s on your cheeks like that it means it’s most likely hormonal acne and can be caused by estrogens in dairy products. Try cutting out dairy it helps because I know acne can be so painful
Thank you for this ❤️
i loved this video sm. thank u so much for the love you give us
I love you
this made me tear up! i'm going through major acne struggles now, more than i've ever had in the past (and i'm 23) where I start to cry when I even think about it or look in a mirror. It's been taking a toll on my mental health and it wasn't that great to begin with. Ava you inspire me SO much and i look up to you!
omg I love you and your confidence to talk about your acne. My acne has gotten really bad recently and I’ve tried so many different products. Hearing you talk about your acne so confidentially gave me so much more confidence. Ily
totally gonna work on saying positive affirmations the next 30 days. if ava believes in me; then i can believe in myself and accomplish anything.
in all honesty I have been really struggling with my weight since the gyms are closed. thank you for just being you!!!
this is one of the MANY reasons why i LOVE ava. she helps me through so much. she is not afraid to talk about these topics so many people are afraid to talk about. you help me feel confident in so many ways. i love that even though i don’t know you personally i still feel like i do, and i feel like i can connect and relate to you and feel better about my self. you especially help me feel confident in my own body, and you have helped me to realize that acne is normal and it makes you beautiful and unique not ugly. you bring me so much happiness. so thank you ava! you are truly the best!!💛💛
Definitely with an eating disorder and body confidence
This woman deserves the world!!!! She is so beautiful inside and out, so real, so mature❤️
I don’t know how you do it But every time I need a video like this you post one You are amazing 🧡🧡🧡
Your transparency is inspiring! Nothing more beautiful than an honest and confident women! Love watching you grow!!
Ava’s videos give me enough serotonin to last the rest of my work day also I’m 23 and still get acne I love your message of normalizing it
Please start a podcast!!! 💕
Ok but the setup is like so aesthetic and like beach summer vibes I wanna move to hawaiii
I’ve been off bc for like 3 months now and my acne is the worst it’s ever been and it’s making me feel so insecure and worried about how I look around guys. I’m just like so not confident in myself and like how I look and I know I shouldn’t care but like as a single person I want to feel and look confident but I don’t feel at all like that when I look so bad
Your so pretty 🥺💕
Try curology, this has really helped me with Acne.
What I’m struggling with is finding myself while in a relationship. Not only is it starting to get “toxic” but my significant other has been so disrespectful and when something doesn’t go their way they throw a tantrum and blame someone else rather than accepting they made a mistake and figuring out how they can correct it next time. My depression has been off the charts and this person doesn’t help matters even after I talk about it with them and sometimes talking about it causes more arguing. I’d like to know y’all’s thoughts on the matter, what y’all would do, what’s the best way to handle a situation like this, how should I confront myself about what’s happening.
I NEEDED THIS! Thank you queen 🥰
I just Want you(Ava)to know that you have helped me get through some really hard times and I’ve struggled really hard with an eating disorder and Through my recovery from anorexia,You have made me feel beautiful and your kind words and you just being you have helped me to love myself again!Thank you so much for being a role model to me!💕
Ava this video is so inspiring.And it means so much to me.I’m 13.I have acne ( on my face ) and also white spots like on my cheeks and forehead and I also have body acne.This videos cheers me up so much.Like in my class I’m one of the only ones that have a kinda severe acne and the fact that we have to wear masks makes it worst and I always get disappointed in myself.So yeah thank you so much for the video.Love you Ava 😘😘
for anyone who’s self conscious, remember that stretch marks are OK! we’re not built to be standing 24/7 so obviously it is natural to have stretch marks. i have some small friends and some bigger friends, and we all have them. there’s no need to be ashamed 💞 hope i helped someone :)
you’re literally iconic 💕
I’m currently really struggling with self confidence and honestly it’s getting quite tiring :( for example i just feel so much lamer than everyone who generally seem like such awesome people and feel like i’m wasting their time and like what even do i have to say... i keep wanting to sort of shrink and disappear because of that voice telling me to back off and know my place 😔
I have been feeling really alone lately and my anxiety has been really bad and idk what to do and how to stop feeling like I have 1 friend and that’s it
birth control has cleared my hormonal acne!
Hello. This vid is informative. I've been trying to find for vid like yours that teaches everything in this video! 👌 👩⚕️ The part at 1:25 is my fav. Your lesson really is like the content of Dr Ethan. Doctor's demonstrations are actually knowledgable and I actually learned a lot for finals. He is an insightful medical student in the UK and he talks about diabetes! You should really see his YT out and give Doctor Ethan a like here! ➡️ #DoctorEthanStudent
who else said it with her “I am beautiful, I am enough, I am worthy” 🤣🤣
Your channel is my comfort channel 100%
pls start making a podcastttt
ava you’re honestly so inspiring and have helped me with my confidence so much! i’ve been struggling with acne for years and trying to find my confidence! thank you for normalizing it!!!!!!
also i personally LOVE stretch marks. i wish i had more tbh
PLEASE start a podcast! just record something whenever you have time (if u don't have time then don't worry about it) but also i wanted to say i've been struggling with acne too. my acne isn't that bad, just fungal acne skin colored bumps but i hate it. it makes me feel so gross and ugly. it just feels like a constant struggle and it's EXHAUSTING. i've been taking prescribed medication and it's helped but not much. it just sucks.
You are a walking taking miracle every single day of the week
pls make a podcast....
over last year and this year, i feel like i’ve been gaining weight in my face, and i just look at my face and wish my cheeks didn’t sag down as much. I also try to eat healthy and i get sad and start eating, and feel like i gain 10 more pounds. I don’t know how to feel better about myself
hey ava ! I just wanted to say how much watching your videos mean to me and my mental health. you have helped me tremendously by reminding me to love myself and others no matter what ! I can honestly say watching this video has reminded me that no i am not perfect, but thats okay. So thank you for continuing to make my life and days so much better !! love you !!!!!
