acne products
My daughter and I were at the park and we bumped into 2 girls that she used to go to school with, back in elementary school. Both girls were very pretty and skinny and full of life. I always liked them both and was heartbroken to see how their faces were just covered in acne. To see these girls, you need to know that the huge amount of acne they were covered in made them barely recognizable to me. I know I probably looked a little too long, of course when they weren't looking, but I just couldn't believe that these were the same girls I had known for years. I guess I never realized how lucky my daughter is for just having to deal with an occasional pimple here and there and thought to myself with all the excellent acne products out there on the market, that this seemed to me to be a form of child abuse. How could any parent allow their child to walk around looking like this? What a major self esteem issue this could cause them, and not only that but imagine the scars that they will live with for the rest of their lives after that acne clears up. My uncle has severe creators in his face from acne that he had at an early age. To this day, his complexion still bothers him, so I can't imagine how women with those types of scars must feel.
I guess there are so many different options on the market these days for resolving this problem that it just seems a shame to me. I can't imagine how I would feel if one of my children had acne to this extent. I mean these kids have pimples all over their faces and this in my opinion is not a normal amount of teenage acne. I guess maybe it is ignorance that causes their parents to allow them to walk around looking like that without taking any action, but with acne treatments so readily available by prescription, over the internet and over the counter and at affordable prices no less, it just seems that this problem would be easy enough to fix and these little girls could feel better about themselves and have their cute little faces back. I just seems a shame for any teenage girl to be covered in acne and then scared for life.
