Skin issues have been a long journey over here.
Red. Irritated. Dry-looking. Uncomfortable. And sometimes, honestly, embarrassing.
If you've dealt with skin like this, you already know it's not just a beauty problem. It changes how you feel walking into a room. It changes what you wear, how you sit, whether you make eye contact.

Next up: what it's really like growing up with skin that won't behave.
