I’ve had acne since I was thirteen. Sometimes it’s better and
sometimes worse, but it never goes away completely. I know that the
next time I need to look my best I’ll
break out
in nasty spots. I’ve
tried out every product on the market, but they’ve all just been a waste
of money. Is there a natural way to
deal with
acne?
