Hello my superb readers! How are you enjoying life? Today's post is a bit different from what I normally talk about, but I hope it comes in handy for some of you. It is something that I was contemplating to blog about earlier, but I guess its never the wrong time to talk about it. The title is a dead giveaway, but its perfect, in it's own way. Keep reading to find out!
Our teenage years, as well as life in general, are already pretty tough. I love life, and I hope you all find it to be just as amazing. However, acne can get in the way of our daily lives, and can cause noticeable changes in the way we see ourselves. Discussing acne can make some people uncomfortable, but its a part of life that a large portion of the population has to go through. It may seem like nobody else in your school, city, etc is getting it, but your not alone. A lot of people don't realize how common acne really is, there are still people who treat it like some rare disorder. It shouldn't have to be like that.
Some of you are probably wondering How can one tiny spot affect self esteem? The thing is, most people don't realize how that "one little spot" can really take a toll on your self esteem. The only reason I can think very little about my answer while I am typing, is because I have have had acne for along time. I have had acne since I was about 10. It started out as a little bit of acne, and eventually cleared up every so often, but it never really went away.It has become slightly worse, but people hardly notice, so I don't mind it. I know that acne can be "fixed" by using prescriptions, as well as hyped-up gimmicks, but its not as easy as that. There are many drugstore products, as well as over the counter medications, that claim to cure the dreaded acne curse, but the search for the perfect product may take a long time.
Searching for a way to get rid of acne is time consuming, as well as stressful. Some products may worsen acne, or cause chemical burns, and lead to lower self esteem. A last resort for many, is to just pile on the makeup, so it is won't be as noticeable. This can lead to even more acne, and even more layers of makeup. there are also instances where people change themselves within society, becoming more introverted, or even more boisterous to compensate for lingering insecurities.
Among all the negativity, there is hope. For many people, its a long battle, to get back that confidence, and to stop worrying about their skin. I don't let my acne bother me. Sure, I sometimes dread having it, but its going to go away, so its not something to worry about. Acne is a normal part of life, as I wrote earlier, don't let your acne get in the way of doing the things you love. It may take a while to stop fretting over your skin, but you will get there in time.
I hope you enjoyed this type of post, let me know if you readers would like more of these types of posts. Well, stay tuned for the next post, which will be up shortly! Thank you for reading.
Happy May
