So I don’t know who needed to see this but this video just resonated with my soul so I just had to share. I’ve suffered from severe cystic acne (I have both oily and highly sensitive skin) since I was in middle school. If you don’t know what kind of acne that is to really summarize it up ITS PAINFUL! My face always itched and was inflamed and red all of the time! I couldn’t even touch it and sleeping on my side (which is how I sleep) wasn’t even an option because my face hurt so much. I’ve been bullied about this until junior year of high school. I never felt like I was beautiful of could be pretty all throughout that time because of my acne. No matter what I did or what products I used (Mind you I used them all for the proper adjustment period) and nothing ever helped it. I was depressed and didn’t want to be seen because of it. I just felt small, and in those times there were always people that would give me “advise” about how I could “fix” my acne or my dark marks and acne scars. The conversation would make me so uncomfortable because every time I stepped into a room I always felt like people weren’t staring at me, but staring at my acne. And when someone would bring up the subject of my acne it only confirmed that scenario in my head. After doing research on my own now that I’ve graduated from high school and am now in college I can say I’ve found something that has tamed my acne to the point where it is nonexistent! Although I do have acne scars and dark marks which are all fine with me because they will go away in they’re own time. With that said I can say that I am finally comfortable in my own skin because of it. But this video just made me realize that it wasn’t just me going through this experience and feeling this way. Don’t get me wrong! I appreciated the advise and sometimes tried the methods or products that were given to me, but if I’d already tried it it was just annoying hearing it again. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Sorry for the long post but I just had to let that out 😂 It brought up some old memories that I guess I blocked from my memory.
