暗瘡是一個可怕的存在,偶爾因為熱氣、月經前夕等暗瘡還尚可接受,但因為荷爾蒙分泌失調長了一整臉的暗瘡,絕對會令人抓狂。除了慘不忍睹的外表,女生還要承受巨大的心理壓力,一處理不好更會帶來心情低落和自卑的問題。
來自紐約的 Leia 五官精緻、可愛甜美,她像很多年輕女孩一樣喜歡在網上分享化了美妝的照片,憑著迷幻粉紅髮色還得到一班小粉絲的支持。

不過美麗背后令人心痛,正值青春期的她,受內分泌失調而長了一臉暗瘡,她在過去三年都用大量化妝品遮掩臉上的暗瘡。而最近她決定一改作風,勇敢素顏示人。一向在網上發美照的她,開始分享了她沒有化妝的樣子。

Leia選擇素顏是為了讓皮膚得到更多休息,並同時揭開美麗背後的殘忍袐密,讓大家認識真正的她。她透過社交媒體跟赤裸裸地跟大家說:我被它纏繞了三年,情況時好時壞,但我每天一點點地學習和它相處。我害怕看進別人的眼睛甚至不敢和朋友說話。我甚至以淚洗面。
它是青春的一部份
這個勇敢的分享引起了大家的迴響。大家見慣了平日職場上的光鮮亮麗和網絡上的男神女神,自然地暗瘡這些缺陷變得不見得光,甚至令人痛苦和難堪。但是,暗瘡真是不正常,不能被接受嗎?它代表著我們做得不好的地方嗎?

PSA: to all my girls n guys acne, all of the hormonal preteen monsters and all of the adults with acne and EVERYBODY in between that's been insecure of their acne, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! With all the people speaking out w their experience in the petty fight, I wanted to address this. I'm a teenager and I have acne! Non inflammatory, mild acne. I've had it so far for 3 years. I've had ups and downs with it, but every day I learn to accept it a little more. Acne would take over my mind and stress me out to the point where I was in tears! I would be afraid to look people in the eye, and even talk to my best friends. It took a toll on me physically and psychologically, which completely destructed my self esteem. I don't even have it so bad, but as someone who's dealt and is dealing with it, it does have great affects on me. If I had to list all of my knowledge on products and remedies that I've gone through, it would go on forever. Acne still frustrates me for obvious reasons, but instead of tearing myself down for it, I had to realize:its normal! I'm in that 'age,' and that's okay! If you're 20 and you still have it, that's okay,! If you have cystic acne, tons of whiteheads, blackheads, papules, nodules, the list goes on and on, it's okay. You are beautiful. For those people that have tried everything and their skin still won't clear, it's okay! For those of you that were lucky enough to clear your acne, congratulations!! Seriously. A big part of dealing with this is realizing that it is not the only thing about you. Realizing that you are still resilient and incredible. As for me, I'm taking care of my diet, hydration skin and overall health. It'll take time, but its okay. Acne has made me understand myself and others better believe it or not. I feel like after dealing with it I am more open minded and understanding of people going through it or any other sort of condition. Dismiss anyone insisting that you are less than you are for it. They don't understand what you have gone through, they are in the wrong for being ignorant. So this was what I have to say. Disagree or agree. If you want, comment your story. To everyone with acne- You are beautiful.

不,她分享:慢慢地,我開始明白和理解暗瘡是正常的,它是青春的一部份。我漸漸對我的身體和皮膚狀況感到更自在,看別人和世界的目光也轉變了。人生道路上,每個人找尋自信的方式也不同,我需要更多時間學習和成長。最重要的是擁有一顆開放的心,明白每一個人都是獨一無二,各自有自己的掙扎。當你看見這個事實,你就能夠接受你自己的不同。
學懂包容別人也要學懂包容自己
有黑頭白頭暗瘡印等問題又好,用盡各種方法情況沒有改善也好,這些都沒關係。皮膚問題不是我們的全部,更重要的是,緊記自己是一個堅韌和強大的人,並且積極照顧飲食和整體的健康。皮膚問題可能需要很長的時間康復,但在這個困難期間,我們更能明白別人經歷的難處,也學懂包容別人。
在欣賞Leia的美麗綻放時,我們也得到了一點正能量。
