Acne has turned me into a hoarder of skin care products. I am obsessed on finding something that magically cure my skin. I spend all my money on fancy little moisturizers or spot treatment and then end up not using most of them.

I keep telling myself that if I just had clear skin, I would be able to love myself. I used to hate my nose and my almond eyes but because I stare at myself in the mirror 24/7 (checking for new breakouts or hoping for improvement), I have learned to direct all that hate to my skin. So I guess thats why I am obsessed.

My question for you acne suffers out there is...

Do you think there is a reason we have acne?

Maybe you believe there is a God or maybe you don't. But if you believe in any higher purpose for yourself or destiny or whatever, what do you think we are suppose to learn from this experience?

Maybe you think this post is stupid but I just really want to know what you think. Xoxo

Hey britty_rae, it's never stupid to share your thoughts and feelings and I hope writing this down was a little therapeutic for you!
I'm not a believer in any higher purpose but I do think we are all part of humanity and owe it to our ancestors, families and future generations to get on with life, be the best we can be and try to support others in whatever way we can.
I feel that we are all very self critical and too hard on ourselves in our lifejourneyand this can leave us struggling tofind inner peace and self confidence. You mentioned that you used to hate your nose and eyes before acne and I'm sure that people without acne are also out there picking fault with some aspect of their appearance while they struggle to find self confidence. I think that self confidence does come with time and one of the best ways to get there is to focus on finding something to do in life that you can be passionate about or have a talent for....when you share that with other people and find you are valued then happiness and confidence follows and adversity, whatever form it takes, can be overcome. Kind wishes 2u.
