Acne Positivity

Because having acne is not a flaw. A place to spread acceptance of acne and awareness that one can also be beautiful while having acne. Posts do not belong to me unless stated so and have been reblogged/ submitted. Please send me a message (with the link of your post) if you want your post to be taken down and I'll try my best to do it as soon as possible.

as a person with acne i am sick + tired of seeing people/characters who have acne drawn with perfectly clear skin. i’m tired of baby smooth & glowing completions with not a single zit or mole or scab. i hate seeing invisible pores all the time every time. i’m tired of reading about “their perfect, unblemished skin” and seeing ads that tell me “look at how great your skin could be if you use x product.” these things hurt. my body is not bad. i do not need to be fixed or cured. i am not unsanitary or unhygienic. i am a person with pimples and blackheads and scabs on my face, my back, my arms, and there is nothing wrong with me for it.

i’m tired of believing there is.

SKIN

omg i’m watching this show called snowfall on viaplay and i noticed this beauty! look at her skin! and yet she’s still gorgeous!!!!!!!! this makes me so happy and makes me realize how stupid it is of me to think i’m ugly because of my acne

acne representation is so important. acne is usually portrayed as something negative and unattractive that vanishes in your twenties. we need more characters in TV with skin conditions that are portrayed in a positive light. i want characters with acne whose acne is never even mentioned. normalize acne!!!!!!!!

i’m tired of having to explain my skin. i’m tired of people looking at me and waiting for me to tell them why my skin is how it is. i want people to look past that and see who i am inside. characters like this make it easier for others to do so.

write characters who still count on their fingers but are really good at maths. write characters who constantly change how they look. write characters who are passionate about something they aren’t good at. write characters who are transgender, bigender, genderfluid, nonbinary, agender. write characters who are pansexual, asexual, greysexual, bisexual, gay, polysexual. write characters who are confused about their orientation. write characters with uneven skin tone, with moles, frizzy hair, unevenly clipped nails, dirty nails, crooked teeth, acne, eczema.

Hi, I have struggled with severe hormonal body acne sense I was 9.  I have Cholinergic Urticaria (rare painful incurable allergic reaction to ones own body heat). And I model, without  any cover up.

Your acne does not make you any less beautiful or worthy.

Hello! (i'm sorry I know this isn't a question!) but your blog has helped me a lot to accept my acne and their scars! So far this is the only place on the internet where I found comfort from all the nitpicking from some of my family members, including my brother,aunt, a cousin and even my own father :(. My mother is very supportive of the case :), since she also had acne when at my age. She says that you shouldn't think negatively about it because it is the sugar on any face. Thanks again!

Hello! Sorry for the late reply, I try to check this blog whenever I’m free and unfortunately that isn’t often...  but I get you. I’ve had severe acne since I was 12 (and now the scars), and it sucks when the people close to you comment about it (or give “advise” that actually just hurts). 

I’m glad this helps you, as it has helped me. Much love :))

Ode To My Skin:

rough canvas constellations, Burn, dance and stings, emanate honesty , home is what it brings

welcome translucent memories, pores are my breath, Nothing to revile, fire egress

Hey @ all girls with acne: You’re beautiful. And not just beautiful in spite of your acne. You’re beautiful with your acne. Keep slaying.

hey @ all guys with acne too :)

acne does not define you. it is not the first thing people see when they look at you and you are under no obligation to cover it up if you don’t want to. it is something you have no control over and you should not be ashamed of it. you are allowed to feel the sun on your bare face, you are allowed to be comfortable. acne is a condition that does not change who you are as a human. you are loving, you are compassionate, you are creative. you are not a skin condition. the ones who matter will remember your laugh, your style, your joy. not your skin.
