Up to the age of 14 I would say I had fairly normal skin, I rarely got any blemish of any kind and didn't use any products on my skin. However at 14 I started experimenting with different products including harsh chemical face washes and cheap make up (hello orange eyebrows!). I was very uneducated about anything skin related and didn't realise the consequences this would have on my skin in years to come.
At 16 I was put on prescription medication for my skin that included various different creams and a pill neither of which I felt helped so decided to come of the medication and tackle the problem myself - boy I did not know what I was getting myself into!
I am now 19 and suffering from the worst acne I have ever experienced which consists of big under the skin blemishes that cover my cheeks, for head and chin. Why I am experiencing these breakouts now I do not know - hormones? un-balanced diet? using the wrong products? I no longer care I just want to be rid of it!!
So after doing hours and hours of research I am making significant changes to my lifestyle in order to get rid of my acne. I have to decided to create this series called The Acne Diaries to share with you any tips or tricks that work and help me achieve clear, healthy skin! It's important to remember that I am not in any way a skin expert, these are just some tips and tricks that have helped me.
Hope this series is helpful. I would love to hear of any tips you guys have on getting clear skin. Stay tuned for the first post coming soon.
