Don't apologise for your acne

I AM NOT APOLOGISING FOR UPLOADING THIS “UGLY” PHOTO! 😝

I often see skin pages uploading a before and after with a caption along the lines:

"WARNING, content may look disgusting so be prepared. "

Or

"I am so sorry for these graphic pics of my acne but hey look at my after pic" 

BUT WHY R U SORRY SWEET CHEEKS ?!?

Just because our skin doesn't meet the standards of what is recognised as “beautiful”, it doesn't mean we have to feel bad about ourselves or about our past acne. I used to apologise to my boyfriend about my skin "soz, I don't look good today :(" and he would eye roll hard and say "I DON’T EVEN CARE ABOUT YOUR GOD DAMN PIMPLES, you always look good!!"

(I mean seriously, I wanna give the guy best bf award for being so amazing)

My point is, don't let acne make you feel shameful or apologetic. If you've made progress, don't let the past pull you down either. It has made you who you are today. To be honest there were SOOO MANY times where I wish I NEVER had acne. But WOULD I BE AS STRONG AND POSITIVE as I am now?? I honestly don't know. But I know it was a hurdle I've jumped and it sure damn taught me a lot of things about myself and my inner passion for helping other people.

It’s time to stop apologising because of your skin.

XOXO Your gal, LIZ ❤️❤️❤️
