1. Hello
HI thanks for coming to my blog. As you might of guessed from the content on here, or soon to be on
here. This blog is about acne and more specifically my acne how it affected my life and how I
eventually managed to treat it for it to never return. If you are suffering from acne then you should
take some comfort in knowing that you aren’t alone. Acne is the most common skin disease in
the world and affects around 650 million people. Obviously the degrees to which people are
suffering from acne varies dramatically but overall a lot of people worldwide are suffering from it.
If you have severe acne like I did you will know how bad it can make you feel. Our society is driven
by glossy magazines and the importance of appearance is massive. It’s a bit sad really and if
you are suffering from acne you can really feel like an outcast. It can easily and quickly leave you
depressed. No one wants acne filled skin.
I had my first signs of acne when I was in my mid teen years. It was only a couple of blemishes here
and there. But I let it go untreated as do most teenagers. I didn’t want to ask my parents for
help as I was embarrassed that they would know I was going through puberty and growing up. I
guess it’s part of being a teenager is being independent and not asking your parents for help.
Anyway I didn’t wash my face with anything special just soap and water which is really silly
as it dries out your skin and can make your acne worse. My acne did get worse not necessarily as a
result of using soap but it did get much worse. It made me severely depressed and I was
embarrassed to go to school. Teenagers can be cruel and I knew that people would be talking about
my acne behind my back. Even when I spoke to people I could see them looking at my acne it
wasn’t their fault, it was pretty bad a sight to see. Once it gets that bad you have to do
something about it, you should definitely do something about it before it gets that bad but if it gets
that bad you’ll have the incentive to do something about it. In fact you’ll try almost
anything to get your skin back to looking human again.
I went to pretty extreme measures to try and instantly make my acne better, extremes that I
won’t get into here. None of the instant remedies work and that’s the problem. Most
people with acne are desperate for it to be cured instantly but the secret to treating acne is
patience, it’s never going to clear up overnight. You need to treat it daily for a long period of
time for it to get better, it usually takes six weeks of consistent treatment to show any signs of
getting better.
I don’t want anyone to go through what I had to go through unnecessarily and that’s
why I’ve started this blog. I’m going to write up hints and tips for treating acne from
my own experiences and the most recent scientific research. I will also write about the causes and
symptoms of acne to help you get a better understanding. Part of the process that will lead you to
beat acne is educating yourself about it.
