Acne - article about Acne

Acne is a common problem that many teenagers face. It can be very embarrassing for many teenagers who are at a very delicate time in their lives. With the many pressures teenagers face, acne can be an added burden that interferes with a young person’s self esteem and confidence. For some of us, acne was not much of a concern throughout our youth.

I had an acne breakout right before the Junior Miss Pageant and I think that this may have contributed to my being cut out of the final ten. It may have been the fact that I’m five-two and a little clumsy, but I like to think that the acne was the cause of the Junior Miss elimination. I may have gotten the acne because I was under stress. The blemish disappeared once I found out that I was cut.

I wasn’t the least bit nervous before my prom, but suddenly, there it was. I found a huge blemish right on the tip of my nose. Covering it up with makeup only made it worse. I didn’t let the spot on my nose ruin my night, but it was so big that my eyes were beginning to cross, being drawn to the bright-red dot. I had a good sense of humor about it. I did put my gown back on a week later to get pictures taken. I wonder if I can crop my prom date into the pictures. Acne or no acne, I still had a great time.

Today, I find myself in a new situation when it comes to unsightly blemishes. I’m approaching middle age and I use moisturizer. What I’m finding is that my skin tends to be a bit oily and I am having acne breakouts after moisturizing my face. I am very irritated that I need to combat wrinkles and acne at the same time. One of the things to look forward to as you get older is the absence of acne. I guess I still have a lot of growing up to do.
