I distinctly remember avoiding the mirror in my early years of adolescence. When I would gather enough courage to look in the mirror, I would count my blemishes almost as if they defined my worth. The more blemishes I counted, the less I was worth. This is something I ideally would never want someone in their early adolescence, well into adulthood, to struggle with. I decided to create this blog with this purpose in mind. Looking back on moments in my life where I felt worthless purely because of my skin, I wish I had some kind of comfort. I wish I knew I was not alone in this struggle. Whatever form your body chooses to present itself as daily, you are still worth so much.
Through this blog I will be sharing personal experiences, as well as researching skincare products and trends. I would also love to interview others to have more experiences and outlooks on skincare included in this blog.
I want to begin by briefly stating that my main skin insecurity is acne. However, I will be discussing many different insecurities associated with skin, and I am open to hearing suggestions from readers.
My journey with acne began when I was around ten years old. Since then, I have had countless dermatology appointments and have been prescribed many treatments. Ultimately, I find that my skin is best when it is not my main priority. It is easier said than done, but I feel that I did not truly start my journey with acceptance and self-confidence until I understood that my acne is unfortunate, but it is a part of me, nonetheless. I want to love everything about me, and I want others to do the same.
