Understanding the MindBody Connection - Acne
Our skin is an external part of us. It reflects to the world what we look like and how we feel about ourselves.
Dictionary definition of acne:
“The occurrence of inflamed or infected sebaceous glands in the skin; particularly a condition characterized by red pimples on the face, prevalent chiefly among teenagers. Acne is a blemish that has many diagnosable and undiagnosable causes.”

People who are afraid of being in public create reasons and excuses for avoiding what they don’t like to do. Sometimes the skin also creates blemishes or acne to justify the need to hide. To hide from others and themselves.
Some feel awkward, some feel like an outsider. Acne may cause embarrassment or shame and the need to cover up. Other feelings are of being flawed. Judging parts of themselves physically and creating acne to justify not appearing in public. Or the belief that people don’t want to see them. So, they hide their face or use clothing to cover the parts of their bodies that are affected.

The answer will be revealed, and you will understand completely why your skin has created acne. Take this answer and create affirmations to support reversing the thought patterns.
The belief of dislike of the self and thoughts of trying to figure out how they can be public, yet at the same hide, causes stress. Thinking; take care of me I’m scared.
