Journaling About Acne Frustrations

jnjsarauer · 12-13-2007, 04:25 PM

My friend said her teen's dermatologist recommended that her daughter keep a journal and record her thoughts and feelings. The doctor thought it would be a good outlet for her when she is frustrated over her breakouts, thinks people are talking behind her back, etc. She also recommended she record when her skin is better/worse and what's happening in her life at those times. It sounded like a good idea to me.

Yeah, that is a good idea, there are some theorys that say that things like stress and all that can cause breakouts, not nesseserily acne breakouts, but it's all the same to a lot of teens.

I think that is a good idea too. They say when you write things out it helps you to sort through your faults and to feel better.
