I woke up last week in love with my face, for the first time in a long time! Even before the acne I didn't love my skin, I just saw all the slight imperfections. But in the midst of the stress acne, I would look back on old pictures like "I took you for granted skin" and "I would kill to have my old face back." Sadly I wouldn't find relief until over a year later.

My acne flared up what seemed like overnight, so quickly I thought I was having an allergic reaction. I tried everything to get the "allergic reaction" to go away. A few months later I learned what type of acne I had, "Stress Acne." And during this time I was STRESSED! Stressed about finances, stressed about starting my org, stressed about almost everything including my face! A few months before my acne showed up, I started to have anxiety so things that wouldn't normally stress me out were stressing me out, making it even harder to get rid of the breakouts. So my solution... Don't Stress About Anything. If I saw stress coming I'd run in the opposite direction. Which for the most part was easier said than done.
