It's a sad rite of passage that so many young adults have to take, getting acne. I still remember walking down the hallways in middle school and high school feeling self conscious about the blemishes on my face. I now realize that everyone else was just as self conscious as I was an nobody really cared about what other people looked like, everyone just thought that people cared about what they looked like. Maybe some people were really that shallow, but then who cares what someone that shallow thinks anyways.
Now I'm older and I don't really have an acne problem. Occasionally I will get a blemish but it's usually gone within a day or two but I don't care what people think now anyways.
Growing up I tried all sorts of acne treatments, acne medication, and acne medicine, but none of them really seemed to make much of a difference and some even made my face break out worse. I ended up thinking that there weren't any effective acne treatments even out there and I still think that. I wish I would not have wasted my money buying useless and sometimes harmful products, it's so irritating.
I guess if I cared more about my blemishes then I would have gone to a dermatologist to find an solution that actually worked. I've heard about this thing called the blue light acne treatment that sounds interesting. You just sit in a chair or lie on a bed and this light that is in a very narrow spectrum of the blue frequency shines on your face. Supposedly it only targets the bacteria that causes acne and leaves all the skin around the hair follicle alone. What I would have given to have some treatment like that when I was younger although it is expensive, even compared to other acne treatments, which is saying a lot because acne medication is all pretty expensive.
I've heard that your diet has a lot to do with the complexion of your skin and now that I am eating much healthier I think there is something to that. I mean, it makes a lot of sense that what you would put in your body would have a bearing on your outward appearance. But when I was younger I thought this was not true I think because of the suggestive thinking of the advertisers that were making lots of money of people like me who were buying lots of acne treatments.
