From the time I was about 12 years-old I have had acne problems. For years I thought acne was the type of thing a person would outgrow with age. It never occurred to me that I would be an adult and still struggling with what I thought was an adolescent issue.
I tried a number of products claiming to be the ultimate solution to my problem. Each time I've been let down. I thought using Proactiv would be my final resolution and it has helped by lessening the frequency of my breakouts and reduced their duration, but it hasn't stopped them altogether.
I knew there would be changes in my life as a result of my mastectomy, but the thought honestly never crossed my mind that my skin would clear up as a result of the reduced amount of estrogen due to my breast tissue being gone. It's amazing! If there is one thing so far that I'm very happy about is that I can go without make-up and feel more confident. I don't guess I've had that feeling since I was about 14 years-old. Hormones and the havoc they can wreak on a woman's body is fascinating to me! Imagine what will happen when my ovaries are gone?
