Pimples!

Ugh.. As I sit here writing this post, it almost makes me wanna cry. I have battled with Acne since I was 15 yrs old. In High school all the girls would say how low my confidence was because I walked with my head down wherever I went. It wasn't that I had low confidence by nature but how could I look at people in the face? Makeup didn't help, if you have a bump on your face, you can still see it no matter how much concealer you apply.

Both my parents had bad skin as young adults and now they're skin is flawless. My mother took me to world reknown dermatologists all through high school and college. Nothing ever helped. I was even put on Accutane, which as you know causes major sideaffects such as depression but I didn't care. Hell, I was depressed everyday because of my face. It actually did help however, alittle bit. I've never had ultra clear skin, I actually always envied the people that did. There was one point I did not have a clear spot on my skin. Going to sleep crying, praying to God for it to go away, trying any and everything I could get my hands on, seeing doctors, getting facials, nothing helped. My acne to this day shows up around my menstrual cycle, as an indication that it's going to being soon but I don't have the major problems as I once did.
Acne can also come at any age. One of my good friends in College had wonderful skin, my roomate at the time one day complimented her saying how gorgeous her skin was. She left school and a couple months later we reunited and she had pimples all over her face. I couldn't believe it, her skin was flawless. She told me that she had started breaking out and it won't stop. I could offer her no help because I was having the same issues. Her and I tried Proactiv together and it did nothing for both of us. We used it for eight months. After that I used Proactiv two other times, this time for years and my skin was still breaking out. Well now, I have finally found MY cure.
One of my good friends recommended birth control tablets and Dr. Miracles Skin System. The entire system is twenty bucks in the pharmacy. I was like "this won't work but i'll try anything." My skin did a 360. My skin is finally smooth and the clearest it has ever been. I am an avid youtube watcher, as you know and MakeupbyLeina said something that almost made me want to cry because I knew exactly what she meant. Here's her video. She uses another system and I intend to use it in the coming months. Here's her video.
