S1, Ep7: Me and my adult acne

Bestie & The Boss

Send us a text

It's only now looking back that I realise why I developed adult acne and I can't believe I never fully understood why this happened to me?
I knew at the time that my acne was bad as I suffered so much with lack of confidence but I tried my best to mask it with make up and pretend like nothing was wrong. I now look back and don't recognise that person and I have this amazing skin care to thank for giving me my confidence back!
