What is National Acne Positivity Day?
While presenting our best face forward on September 1st, National Acne Positivity Day spreads a message of acceptance and self-love while still displaying our best face forward.
#acnepositivityday
We judge our appearance more harshly than we do others', as many of us know.' We allow an outsider's point of view to influence our confidence based on our appearance. We have days, where we determine each blemish and mark. Acne is the most common skin disorder and is the number one reason to see a dermatologist.
The day encourages us to let go of the acne stigma and embrace ourselves for who we are. While our skin can make us feel ill, we don't have to give it power over us. Acne can annoy, frustrate, and hinder us; however, acne is a problem like no other, one that we can conquer.
