In this episode, we share OUR skin stories! Come, journey back with us – Ellen and Hannah – to a time when Tik Tok was just an amazing song by Ke$ha, baby lips lip gloss was the pinnacle of class and our tamagotchis were alive and well. Yes, we are venturing into our youth to talk about our struggles with acne starting at age 10.
While we grew up in different states and didn't meet until our twenties, our experiences were similar: unrelenting acne from a young age. You don't have to watch the Virgin Suicides to know that being a young girl is tough as hell, even without skin problems. Take a listen as we share our embarrassing moments trying to conceal our skin and navigate adolescence.
We'll also dive into the creams, pills, supplements and diets we've tried to clean our skin over the years.
We each have acne to this day, but we're both a lot more accepting of it than we were in the past – and hope we can share our acne origin stories while emphasizing that acne is NOT just a teenage condition. Acne is a serious struggle for so many people of all ages, and we believe its association with teenage years can create a stigma for many adults acne-havers today. So, if you're out there well into your 20s, 30s and beyond – we see you, and we hope our stories can offer a little bit of solace.
