 When we hit our puberty, we start hormonal changes in the process of preparing our body for maturity. When that hormonal change takes place, a lot of differences happen to our body. We become conscious of our appearance as it is one of the noticeable changes you can see immediately. We want to look good for ourselves, for our peers and to the one we are looking up to.  That’s a normal thing to do as we hit an adolescent stage. One of the craziest things that would happen when we start to feel we need to look good is when our skin started to show acne/pimple breakout. I remember myself being in that situation when you’re preparing for your prom night and few days before that dazzling day, you wake up in the morning having this huge zit in the middle of your nose. That freak me out, it’s like why now? Why are showing now? This is not the right time. Luckily, my case is just a common scenario and it can be treated and it will be gone after few washes.
