As some of you may know, I have been dealing with acne since I was 13. I have tried everything under the sun. Who knows how much I have spent on clearing up my skin!?!? It depresses me to think about it. Two years ago, I started getting the Isolaz laser treatment and it cleared up my skin like a champ, but the budget doesn’t always allow for three hundred dollar face treatments, so a month ago I purchased the Happy Me Acne Kit. It’s not glamourous packaging or particularly luxurious, but it works... well, I’m pretty sure it works. It’s a natural skin care line that is PETA approved, yay vegan certified. The harshest chemical is salicylic acid and it uses it in combination with lavender oil, willow bark, and olive leaf extracts. It also comes with a supplement to take every morning that, as far as I can tell, works. It’s supposed to last for 60 days and is only 29.99. It’s hard to find the negative, right!? Well, I’ll update if it turns my skin purple, but so far, I’m loving it.

Also, if you suffer from acne do not be afraid to seek the help from a professional. A dermatologist can really help, but voice your concerns. If you don’t want to take a pill or want to try to stick to the more natural side of things, they do have options for you. I am currently using a topical called Duac gel and Retina-A and I’m definitely seeing results. And some words of advice, I am not even close to being a professional, but I’m as a very informed, very healthy person I would strongly advise not using Accutane unless you have no other options. It was the worst thing I ever did to my body and it didn’t work. I’d avoid it.
