They say beauty is only skin-deep, and what’s important is your character. This is true, of course. But when you have acne, your version of truths become a little different. Here are some realizations I had from my years of suffering from this ridiculous skin disease.

6. Make-up is your best friend and also your worst enemy
There will be days you’d wish you’ve mastered the art of the concealers, because make-up really really helps. But the confidence boost from covering your face with layers of concealer and foundation is short-lived. Once you take it off, the acne is still there. And if you use the wrong kind of make-up, you’ll end up with a nastier infection.
5. You’ll dread using front cameras

4. You’ll be desperate for some miracle cure
After making your condition even worse from jumping on one product to the next, you’ll realize there is no such thing.
