While there are much bigger problems happening in the world, suffering from acne for me was debilitating. It s something that I ve dealt with since I was a young teen and has caused me to feel anxious, helpless and insecure. As humans, I don t think we share our insecurities enough because we live in a time where being perfect is the standard. We curate our life online and pick the pretty moments to post. I d like to show a younger generation that not everything is perfect. Being insecure about my acne gave me thick skin but I wouldn t ever wish that feeling upon anyone so after trying countless options, I found something that has been helpful in maintaining clear skin for me. It s been a long journey but I m excited for where my skin is now. I didn t think I d see the day where I would feel confident posting a makeup free picture. My goal is to open up a dialogue around skin positivity.
