During times of high social interaction, such as proms, summer time beach parties, holiday seasons, also means high anxiety over appearance. That can trigger an outbreak of acne. Anxiety factors such as final exams, job interviews, and such can also cause acne outbreaks. In fact, the effects of acne go far beyond skin deep. It impacts a person's self-esteem. Teens were most at risk, given the link between physical appearance and social acceptance amongst their peers.

Acne Kills!

Yes acne can kill. It can kill your social life. It can kill your confidence, your good looks, your chances for success.I remember as a young teenager I had acne, and no social life. I remember what it was like to be teased about having acne. One of the things that really hurt was when one of the older boys would say, the reason I had such bad acne was because I masturbated. 

The sad part was I had no way to prove that what he said was not true. As a matter of fact I kinda believed him. Yes I like all the other  teenage boys  I did masturbate, and yes I had acne. So maybe there was a connection. To make things worse, no matter if it was true or not I was not going to give up masturbating.

As I got older and my acne subsided and eventually went away. That was when I found out that what I was told about acne was not true. Then in my early twenties it happened! An outbreak of acne. As I look back I can say it was not very bad, but to a young man just one pimple is one too many. That is when I began to study acne and it's causes. There are a lot of products on the market, but I only know of one that really works using natural ingredients. 

During my studies I have found out that teenagers are not the only ones that suffer from acne. There is adult acne, and even infantile or baby acne. Acne can strike anyone at any age. Because of the problems I encountered as a teenager I decided to create a blog to publish information that will be helpful to anyone suffering from acne.
