Kate Ferdinand Battles Acne Amid Dubai Life Shift

Kate Ferdinand, a former star of The Only Way Is Essex, recently shared a candid update on social media about her ongoing battle with acne and feelings of fatigue. In her January reflections, she stated she is prioritizing "deep self care," which involves "slowing down and listening to her body."

Ferdinand, who moved with her husband Rio and their children to Dubai last year, detailed a shift in her routine. This includes reduced gym activity, more food, and an increased focus on rest and therapy, alongside yoga sessions. She admitted that January was not what she had envisioned but was what her body needed.

She expressed that her body has been sending signals to adjust, leading her to say 'no' more often and reduce her time on social media. This period of self-reflection is a departure from her usual energetic persona, as she is experiencing significant fatigue despite increased sleep.

The reality star also touched upon the emotional toll of the preceding December, describing it as an "emotional December hangover" due to the pressures of the holiday season and family commitments. She noted the unrealistic expectation to be a "new woman" in January when rest and recovery are paramount.

Ferdinand reassured her followers that it is "ok not to be ok" and that she feels the pressure within the industry to maintain a certain image. She shared that she has been feeling emotional and is choosing to rest and focus on activities that bring her happiness, rather than pushing herself to extremes.
