Exposing My Natural Self

Hey everyone,
Peace be upon you all!

So, it is no secret that I struggle tremendously with acne. It has affected me greatly in recent years. I'm breaking out of my shell by exposing myself, and my bare skin, to the world. It's a ballsy thing to do, but I knew that it would be necessary for my growth.

The first time I decided to sit down in front of my HD camera with my acne filled face, I was beyond nervous. I hadn't shown my bare face to my YouTube viewers in such a long time. It held me back from making tutorials, and even making videos. I witnessed one of my favorite YouTubers become torn down because of her acne and how bad it got, and I knew that I had the same problem. I didn't want to face it and I wasn't comfortable with myself yet. This year, I decided to just do it. I sat down and told My Acne Story. I got an amazing response! Not one rude comment, but I knew what a lot of people were thinking. Regardless, I continue to show my bare face. I'm most self conscious about people that I know in real life see me without makeup on, and I know the easiest way is through my YT channel.

Anyways, I've come a long way alhamdulillah. I still have a long way to go. I'd like to think that I'm on the journey to clear skin. Hopefully that'll come soon, because who doesn't want clear skin? Regardless, I will continue to share my story and journey with the world. I have become a lot more comfortable with myself, my natural self. I plan on doing more posts about my acne, etc. on my blog including HD pictures insha'Allah.

Here's my acne playlist! There, I share my tips, story, struggle, and journey. Enjoy.
