Healing Acne Naturally: From Teenage Burnout to Motherhood Breakouts
I’ve had my own share of run-ins with acne—starting way back in my teens. I didn’t have sensitive-skin-friendly options back then, and what I did use? Burned. Literally. I would try whatever promised fast results—strips, scrubs, and strong-smelling creams that stung my skin and left it raw. The acne might have dried up, but my skin was left irritated, inflamed, and full of scars.
No one told me that harsh wasn’t the only way.
Now, years later, I’m still healing—but this time with knowledge, intention, and grace. Acne didn’t stop when I turned 20. Or 25. Or even when I became a mom. In fact, pregnancy brought its own set of hormonal breakouts. New pimples, new places—like my back and shoulders—and a whole new understanding of what my skin really needed.

Acne Isn’t Just a Teen Thing
Let’s be real: acne doesn’t come with an age limit. Between hormones, stress, diet, and product buildup, it can show up anytime, anywhere—including:
- The face
- The back (“bacne,” yep!)
- Shoulders and chest
- Hairline and jawline
And when it does, it often brings inflammation, pain, and—if you’re like me—hyperpigmentation in its aftermath.

The Mama Challenge
Now that I’m raising my own kids, I see the cycle starting again. The small breakouts. The scars from scratched bumps. The urge to grab whatever is on the shelf for “quick relief.” But here’s the thing: I know better now. And that means I can help my children do better—gently.
I can't control everything they eat (especially when they’re not under my roof), but I can treat their skin when those outside choices show up on their face. Whether it's sugar-triggered breakouts, sweat-induced bumps, or just everyday skin irritation, I’m there to support their skin naturally.

What I Want Other Moms to Know
If you’re watching your child struggle with acne, I want to remind you: their skin doesn’t need to suffer to get better. You don’t have to choose between effective and gentle. You can have both.
Treating acne naturally takes time and patience—but it works. And more importantly, it teaches our kids that their skin deserves love, not punishment.
