I'll keep this short and sweet.

You tell me... How many of you reading this suffer from acne and get the feeling that you will be living with it for the rest of your life. I suffer from mild acne and have seen and heard all of the miracle stories on TV and in magazines. But through the many trials and tribulations or the myriad of products and trials and dermatologists, nothing as of yet has done the trick. 

In my studies of some random topics not necessarily related to this one, I was enlightened by the thought that your mind controls your body and you have the power to manage what happens to you (including your skin). Thus any unwanted bodily features can be cured by relaxation and focused thoughts. This process maybe lasted a few weeks.

I forgot to mention when I originally posted this hub that I firmly believe that the true source of acne is internal. The cosmetics industry would like you to believe that topical remedies can reduce or even cause acne to disappear. As most philosophers would explain, "The answer must come from within". So I think that to resolve acne as a whole, we must better understand the TRUE cause thus being better equipped to curb the unwanted symptoms completely.

So now I would like to get some feedback from real people. I want to know what you have done or tried in your attempts to rid your body of acne. I have learned that in any open forum, you can only truly learn from those that have once been in your shoes. Let's share...
