Daisy Edgar-Jones shares health journey after years of severe acne and endometriosis

Daisy Edgar-Jones has opened up about the health struggles she faced growing up, revealing that years of severe acne and painful periods were ultimately linked to Endometriosis.

The Twisters star, 27, shared the details while discussing her skincare routine in a beauty video with Vogue, explaining that hormonal challenges during her teenage years caused persistent skin problems.

“I have very sensitive skin and had acne my whole teenage life,” Edgar-Jones said in the video, noting that managing the condition was a constant struggle while she was growing up.

The actress added that she also experienced extremely painful periods for years before finally receiving a diagnosis at age 24. 

Learning the cause behind her symptoms, she said, was a major turning point.

“It was definitely a relief to find out why I was going through it,” she explained, describing how her hormones often felt “all over the place.”

Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often causing pelvic pain, heavy periods, and, in some cases, fertility complications. 

Research has also suggested a connection between severe teenage acne and a higher likelihood of developing the condition later in life.

The Normal People actress also reflected on how deeply acne affected her confidence as a teenager.

“It was all I could see when I looked in the mirror,” she recalled. However, looking back now, she realizes that the insecurity was often far more visible to her than to others.

Over time, Edgar-Jones said she has found ways to better manage her skin through a consistent skincare routine, staying hydrated, and adjusting her diet, including reducing dairy intake.

She also offered words of encouragement to people dealing with similar struggles, emphasizing that acne does not define a person’s beauty.

“I would say to anyone with acne, I know it's all you can see,” she said, “but it's not what everyone else can see.”
