Ways to feel pretty again?

Had 4 months being bedridden and eating junk bcuz of serious mental health issues after 3 yrs psychosis. I'm coming out of it, which I'm thankful for, but it shows on me.

I keep clean but I don't look/feel feminine anymore, I feel repugnant. I'm in my 20's. I do feel older than a 70yr old, too, not youthful. Any tips? I can just afford to buy a few skincare products. I will try to change my diet and start with 10 minute workouts.

Backstory:
I try to dress up to look decent but my makeup doesn't glow like before, and when I take it off I'm back to 0. My body is round, heavy dark circles and uneven skin, I look a bit old and worn out for my age so much that family have told me that I look older than my mom (shes 50+) and a very rude co-worker said I am a 'bad vibe' and I have no youthful energy, and it is obvious I am 'sick' from the look of me. It breaks my heart, I used to be so beautiful, loved making people laugh, loved going shopping (can't be outside for too long anymore, start going hooha).
I had to support myself, go to work and university (didn't graduate), whilst going crazy for 3yrs and now it shows on my demeanor.

honey facials or yogurt and lemon juice facials will draw circulation and brighten your skin. rice bran oil will help with the dark circles. i'd suggest starting to go for long walks. like at least an hour long everyday. you will start to feel better. just go slow at first if it's all you can muster.
