Acne Awareness Month: New Survey Highlights How Acne and Acne Scars Can Affect Confidence
From the blog: "The survey found that the overwhelming majority of consumers believe acne and acne scars have a negative impact on a person's confidence. It also pinpointed that people with acne and acne scars withdraw themselves from social settings and avoid putting photos online without heavy editing or filters."
From the blog: "Tea has been utilized as a healing concoction long throughout history. Modern day science is now finding out what ancient Chinese knew about since ages, that tea is beneficial for you. While green and dark tea are extremely beneficial, white tea on the other hand, is the least processed tea and has the highest concentration of antioxidants."
From the blog: "I feel lighter, more present, more aware that I don't want this to happen again. It was a mild attempt. I took a handful of pills and immediately asked my husband to help me. That signals to me that I wanted to live. That it was a cry for help. I have learned a great deal in a short amount of time, and I see this action as the beginning of a landmark period in my life--one that is more mindful, more prayerful, more grateful, and far less rooted in the past and its traumas, which have haunted me my whole life."
