Thanks Jenny for sharing your story with us.
Hi, my name is Jenny. I live in Boston. When started eighth grade, my nightmare began. I started breaking out. It wasn't severe at first, but at that time I wasn't really caring about my skin. I'm always asking my parents to buy me makeup. I would wear them everyday for school or even at home when I have nothing to do. What I really repent was that I didn't wash my face properly when going to bed. So as time goes by, my face got worst and worst.
After like six year of embarrassment and spending more than thousands of dollars on products for my face, I decided to stop. I threw away all the skin products. I pass a month without using anything but just pure water to clean my face. My skin wasn't as dry nor red as before. All the products I used to use were too drying. Even though my complexion was better, my breakouts was the same (new ones everyday).
My dream started to clear when my grandma came to visit from Canada. She was shocked to see my skin. I felt so embarrassed at that time. Later, she sees me eating a piece of lemon that was with the steak my mom make and told me to eat more lemon because it's good for the skin. She also told me to apply the juice onto my face. She says that when she was young, she would use lemon to whiten her face. I listened and started to apply lemon juice onto my face and wait 10 or so minutes and wash off. It stung my skin at first, but I didn't give up. I saw a little difference after two days and I was extremely happy about it. My hope just came rushing back. My one unforgettable was the time when I had lemon juice on my face and fell asleep while waiting. When I woke up, WOW, my skin never looked so good for years. From that time on, I decided to properly take care of my skin, I came up with a good regime and stuck with it until now.
