It feels like just yesterday that we were 13, staring in the mirror and battling with blemishes. “This is only a phase,” we would reassure ourselves. “Our skin won’t look this way forever.” Fast-forward to present-day, we’re still staring in the mirror and dealing with the same drama! We may have outgrown those awkward teenage years, but our skin hasn’t.
