Boy, did I ever have acne!!! I hated it! It was a plague that haunted me from my teenage years until adulthood. It was a constant daily battle to find ways to prevent acne from reappearing everyday. Unfortunately, the only sobering fact about my acne was I knew at least 30 other classmates that had it too. I did not have to bear that cross alone.
Just like everyone else, I tried many acne treatment products with much anticipation that they would work for me but guess what? They didn’t do the job! I never found a product in the local drug store that was a cure for acne. Some products felt like they were working as they literally set my skin on fire from the burning sensations they produced, but with all of that…acne still lingered.
I can remember as a teenager a time I was getting ready to go to a varsity basketball game. My acne problem was really alive that night. I wanted to go to the game soo bad but I didn’t want to be an embarrassment to myself. So, I decided to use my mom’s makeup to try and cover up some of the pimples and spotting. It worked somewhat and no one detected the makeup on my face. So, I know you’re wondering what’s wrong with putting on makeup? Well, there’s a lot wrong with putting on makeup if you’re a guy.
I remember another time that was quite embarrassing for me was when my father got tired of my acne. Can you imagine your Dad getting an attitude over his son’s acne? He said, “Boy, what is wrong with your face? You need to go see a specialist!” Man, did that hurt! I was lost right there and desperate for a remedy that would heal acne.
My last memory of acne growing up was there was a lady in my neighborhood who had horrible acne. She was around 40 years old. Whenever I saw her I thought to myself, am I going to look like her when I get her age? Fear gripped me everytime I saw her.
Why did I write about my personal experiences with acne? I want everyone that reads the information on this website to understand you are not alone. I tried, just like I’m sure you have, every product on the market including home remedies for acne. I’ve always hoped there would be a product that would be 100% effective in treating acne, so whenever a new acne product was released I bought it. It never really dawned on me that my acne problem could possibly be a sign of an inward problem. I never once considered my personal health and lack of understanding about caring for my body to be the real culprit for why I dealt with acne for so long. This website will present information to you of more health conscious methods aside from acne treatment products, that will possibly help you discover the root of your acne.
