When we think about treating acne, we often start with a focus on improving the way we look. While that can be such a powerful motivator to seek solutions, it might not be the most effective way to look at things and it might even prevent us from healing our acne. Instead, we can look at the situation in a more holistic way that focuses on health instead of looks. Once I made that mindset shift, I made more constructive steps towards healing in a short time frame than trying to get rid of the symptom that acne is for all those years.
