Acne & Self Esteem

I always thought acne and pimples were the blight of teenagers and adolescent pubescent girls or boys.  You always hear them complain about their unsightly blemishes and their search for a cure.  They try to hide it by covering their face with make-up or wearing sunglasses or missing school.  That age was such a time of embarrasment and heighten sensitivity to appearance. I remember that I thought I was ugly and deformed. No one would ever love me.  I was the frog. I even wrote a poem called Ugly where I depicted myself as a block of wood or stone, who would ever love me. I had such low self-confidence and image.  But I met a beautiful girl of my dreams and she met me and we got married despite the acne!!!

Well I am 49 years old and the pimples are back and I have freckles and acne. My beautiful girl has freckles too!! We have been married for twenty years so the looks aren’t so important anymore. She cooks great, takes care of me, and we do a lot of things together.  I had three pimples last week that was really surprising. They even popped and bled all over my nose!! Yeech.! My wife suggested using this USANA skin cream and it really worked!  I also started to wash my face after dinner and the grease.  They have disappeared. I thought only kids got skin problems lol.
