Acne

On this fine day, I thought I could talk about acne because now that I am in 7th grade and approaching my tween years when puberty starts to hit I have noticed that I have been getting more breakouts and damaged skin. Acne makes me feel very self conscious and I feel less confident and I feel ugly but I think that’s because the internet and social medias has kind of made the statement that acne is bad and you need to have clear skin to be pretty.

Like for example Hailey Bieber, Won-young, or many other celebrities that appear on camera with no acne, but the thing that is being kept from us is that acne is normal for women and men and that those celebrities or social media people do have acne they just are very good at hiding it and making it seem like they have no acne. And to me that is really sad because many celebrities have skincare brands or makeup brands and say that their products are giving them no acne and while that may be true they don’t address the fact that acne is hormonal. Whenever I see a celebrity show up on camera with actual acne and say that they are having acne it makes me trust them more, because they have stated that they have normal human being problems.

But what we still have to remember is the celebrities or people who are famous for having clear skin and that people refer to as pretty with no acne are people who probably get taken care of a lot and have a facial often or can fly to France to go get an acne removal treatment or cream and that my besties is NOT NORMAL!!!!! Normal human beings don’t get taken care of every minute of the day and actually have to work and put food on the table or go to school and have limited amounts of money they are able to spend on their skin whereas celebrities have much more money they can spend.

When people have acne we have to remember that this is NORMAL and that many people have acne and that nobody really cares. And when you constantly point the acne out it makes people actually see it and when you get compliments about how you look with acne don’t point out the acne! Trust me I was a victim of that habit!

All of you are beautiful and the thing that makes you the most breathtaking is smiling !!!!!!!!!
