Acnemag Loves To Hear YOU!
I just wanted to take the time to thank all of the people who post their stories, questions and comments on the posts here at AcneMagazine. I also wanted to encourage you to do so as this is what I love most, generating a conversation amongst those of us who know acne best. If acne has to be a part of our lives, then we should embrace that and then go about finding the ways to lessen it’s impact on our self esteem and the beauty of our skin as much as we can, and being a community is what helps us share those experiences, tips and suggestions.
Looking over some of the past postings that have gotten the most feedback, I’d have to say the two that stand out the most are the one about baking soda and acne. Boy, I think I might have been wrong about baking soda not working as a nice little home made acne treatment, because there were a lot of comments from people who said the exact opposite, that it worked great for them. If we can talk about how something that costs less than a dollar may make a great acne remedy, then that’s the kind of conversations I want to hear more!
Another posting that got tons of comments was one about the Bare Mineral makeup and how some people love it that have acne and some people hate it that have acne. Although there were probably more negative comments on this one than positive, Bare Minerals still continues to be a hot selling makeup, but it does appear that some people who are acne prone may not react well. I tried it and liked it, although I don’t use it any more in the winter because it does not provide enough coverage to my liking.
Over the years, we’ve gotten so many shared stories, and it just really helps people who are in need of good skin advice for their acne prone skin. I read some of your suggestions and try them myself, so I’m sure it impacts other readers as well who try it. Another example is my posting on Vicodin and acne. A lot of people commented on this and said that they never put two and two together, but that they also broke out while on this for severe pain. You just never know until you create an open dialogue if others are experiencing the same thing as you!
