ranting time

[acresofhope]

I'm going to cut all of this, because it'll probably be all ranting and complaining. Feel free not to care.

I hate my face! No matter what I do to it, it keeps breaking out. In fact, when I try to do something about it, it gets worse. I can't tell you how many things I've tried. I'm about to just give up and accept that this is the way I'm always going to look. It. Freakin. Sucks.

I don't even want to go into what else I was going to say.

the only thing that helped me was birth control.

Birth control? Yeah, that'll go over really well with the parents. "Hey Mom, I need to go on birth control." "WHAT?!?"

well, i went to the doctor about my acne and she prescribed birth control for it. i'm a virgin, but i take it for my acne and to regulate my period.

I know the feeling

I know you may have heard this before, but - give it two years. No, really, give it two years. It wasn't until I was out of college that mine Finally started to calm down. For a while I was even putting an antibiotic gel on mine.

Just keep your routine, and cut back on oily/greasy stuff. Not chocolate, that is a myth. Try to look out for what triggers it. Doing this might also help.

I use Clinique products. Yeah, they're a bit expensive, but they last a long time and they're high quality so it's worth it.

Hugs.

Hang in there Liz.

Really, I agree with airehen. I use Clinique too. It's nice stuff.

And remember, true beauty isn't outside, it's inside. Inwardly, you're a very beautiful person, because God's in there.

And His opinion on you is what really counts. :-)
