Body & Mind

Description

Acne is the silent insurgent of the skin that launches attacks on your confidence and sense of cleanliness at the most opportune moments. Though often regarded as the youth’s exclusive domain, it sneaks upon anyone and mocks those who overestimate their self-care abilities. Revered by the beauty industry as a prosperous source of income, to the afflicted it is a ruthless piece of art that enforces nothing but pain and stares.
