Hey Guys,
Iv been using BP for years now and I have been slowly decreasing the amount over the past 6 months. BP (and the regime) has been my saviour for so long and has helped me keep my acne at bay. However I have recently got to the point where I haven't used BP (or the regime- only cleanser) for a month now and my skin is still relatively clear (I completely understand this is not possible for some people, and its just an individual thing). However, Im not writing this entice people to stop using the regime,but since being off the regime I have noticed the past couple of months have been very positive and busy. So what I'm saying is I believe the regime is truly only half the riddle.
Being positive as possible everyday, doing things that you wouldn't normally do, getting out of your comfort zone are all ways that you can detach and veer from the everyday stuggles of acne. I think that anyone who has acne is unknowingly put into this exhausting thought mentality and are constantly preoccupied and consumed by it. Generally speaking I previously haven't really comprehended positive thinking. It isn't something you just turn on or something you can fake, it is a habit that we all teach ourselves, and its recently been somewhat an inner peace for me and my outlook.
I know some people will read this and think I'm on a 'clear skin high' or something however over the years i have learnt to be very mindful of others situations and where they are currently at. Some people will relate, others won't, however I truly believe our bodies and minds respond to positivity whether we know it or not.
All the best
It's very hard to stay positive when you're battling with acne daily, but I agree with you. We should step out of our comfort zones, put ourselves out there and just live life the best we can. It's not easy and it doesn't happen over night. It takes time, persistence, and practice. Feelings will be hurt and some of us will fall, but that's life. Some of us get so consumed by acne that we just lose ourselves and lose control of our life. Who knows... Maybe positive attitudes and actions can help, maybe not.
I want to be positive and even then it's hard to keep it when your skin doesn't make you feel the best. The most annoying thing about society is that they know atleast 90% of people struggle with acne. The 10% without acne always makes fun of you or looks at your skin and rejects you. How come I still feel like I should be hiding when majority of people should sympathize and understand. My skin will probably never be clear since I have hormonal issues of course no one would know that. I just had that thought and that made me feel that it's part of being human and the human condition to try to compare, maybe that's why they don't understand. I overcame so much and I should be proud of that.
