"acne isn't bad/weird! it's natural"

but you switch up when it's bright red, all over someone's face, and struggling with constantly breaking out?

or when it's on someone's chest, on someone's back, on someone's lower body, on collarbones, or on shoulders?

so do you actually think acne is okay or do you think acne is only okay if it's on your face, barely there and falls into what is 'normal'?

I cannot with people calling people who have acne disgusting, like oh my! someone is going through puberty and has acne?!??!?/sarc this is not new information guys,,

Cystic acne deserves to breathe just like everyone else’s skin. It doesn’t need makeup making it worse. It’s part of your body and it’s beautiful. People love writing about roses blooming in people’s cheeks, well, you’ve got that. You’re beautiful with it, not in spite of it, and it gives you character and texture.

Hormonal acne is a sign that your body is working hard. If sweat can be romanticized into a glistening sheen from a hard day’s work, why can’t we romanticize that your body is working so hard to keep you functioning on your hormonal cycle or to help you grow and literally transform your body that it clogged a pore along the way?

Stress acne? Other types of acne? Thank God you look like a human. The only people with totally clear skin naturally are cartoon characters and some babies. Congratulations on being human, we love humans here.

Going back to cystic acne again beside I get so much crap for it, it’s not dirty. It’s not gross. It’s also not something you should pick at and try to scar away. It’s natural, a natural part of your body. Let it breathe. It’s delicate, so play nicely with it, you deserve to have your skin taken care of gently. People who tell you to wash your face more (you can actually irritate the skin from over washing) or just eat only lettuce and water for a year or go on expensive skin-damaging drying treatments, they can go to Hell. They have different genetics and are trying to apply what works for them to you and failing miserably. You’re not them, and thank God you’re not.

THERES SIDE EFFECTS OF THESE STUPID PILLS WHY?

It feels so wrong to take something that maybe will give side effects like your body doesn’t want it. Like your body is telling you to stop.

I know there’s a bunch of people who don’t have acne and who don’t have to do all these things to feel beautiful, and I’m jealous of them.

It feels so wrong to have to take these things just to get rid of stupid acne.
