Everybody wants perfect skin, right? That beautifully glossy, glass-skin look with zero pores and not a pimple in sight. I know I did and believe it or not, I actually made it happen. But now I see "perfect" skin a little differently.
From cystic acne, to two rounds of acne medication, to stopping the pill; let me tell you what I realised about having "perfect" skin.
Of course, genetics are a huge factor when it comes to skin, but believe me, I was not blessed with the perfect skin gene (thanks mum and dad).
Growing up, I had regular teenage skin with hormonal spots here and there, but nothing that ever really affected me.
Instead, I was one of the lucky ones that got to experience painful cystic acne in their young adult years.
