How I recovered from a massive acne horror story

How I recovered from a massive acne horror story!!!

I was 16 when i started getting zits, i was in my high school studying, there was no change in my diet it was the same. But suddenly a fellow classmate points out at my skin saying that it looks worse. That’s when it occurred to me before that moment i never knew what my skin looked like and i never had a care in the world about my skin. Then my true horror story started

I went to doctor he would gimme a couple of lotions and tablets i applied that then it was all okay. After that it started appearing again then i become obsessive with my skin. I searched internet like crazy and used to buy all those miracle creams which ends up worsening my skin. I did this over and over again, my skin became so bad that i couldn’t even step out of my house.Then a brilliant idea occurred within me why shouldn’t i peel off my zits so that i could end up with amazing skin and then i actually did that which ended up even more crazy and i was left with a pigmentation on my cheek which was huge and noticeable!

Yea i forgot to mention that i am a guy and in my nation guys shouldn’t care about their skin at all but it wasn’t me i used all kind of ointments to hide my pigmentation and other imperfections which ended up worsening too much. Wherever i go the first thing people would ask me is why does your face look so bad and they feel pity on me. I literally hated that and that made me not to go out at all, I started less socializing and at this time i was in my undergraduate and i took a whole 3 months leave by convincing my parents to talk to my lecturers. Even in those 3 months i would visit so many doctors and end up wasting all my parents hard earned money! Finally the long 3 months got to an end and i was supposed to attend my college tomorrow and still my skin was no better than it was 3 months ago and now i didn’t have any reason to take leave too.

I used to cover my face every with my hand even as i walk so that people would not notice my scars which ended up having more attention now all the lecturers would ask why am i doing this and what was wrong with me?i couldn’t answer them at all i would brush them off by saying some crazy stuffs.Then it was finally my campus time(companies come for recruiting students) and this time if i go with this attitude i knew for certain i will fail the interview process. I had zero confidence, So i started practicing walking without my hands in face that was a lot difficult and i stopped using all medications i thought to myself that i am at my worst what else could happen and then i slowly participating in all the placement activities and now no one was asking about skin. It was in same stage as before. This made me feel good then i would attend the interview and i would get selected too. Even still now i am at my 24 i get occasional zits (very rare) and i have learnt the following lessons.

1. Stop Caring

This is the number one cause for aggravating the problem so just stop doing, hide all the mirrors if possible. I barred myself from seeing the mirrors for 3 years straight this helped me a lot and got my mind thinking on other important stuffs.

2. Say no to miracle creams

Slow and study wins the race. This is from my personal experience don’t go wasting your money on unnecessary stuffs. DO some home remedy instead i apply vitamin e oil essence from the capsules in my face and it has helped me a lot. It worked for me but your skin may be different be cautious.

3. Before trying any new products do a patch test

Patch test helps you a lot by letting you know whether the product will suit you or not. Do a patch test before you start applying on your whole face.

4.Drink a lot of water and eat healthy

You would have heard this advice before but yea this works but don’t over do it do it in moderation and consistently.

So these are the things i learnt before when i had this problems i used to see these kind of articles and wonder whether i will also have clear skin when i age. Yea you will also have, no matter what your age believe that you will have a clear skin and try following the above tips. It will be helpful. Hope you will have a beautiful skin.
