What are your feelings on naming a high fashion boutique "Acne?" We were trying to figure out if it was actually a word in a foreign language, or if we were mispronouncing it. Why would you want people to think about the horrors of their unretouched senior pics whenever they walked by your store?
I had TERRIBLE skin as a teenager, but it has calmed down to the point where I only have problems once a month. However, when I moved to Honduras I hit puberty for the second time (at 24) and my skin looked like Jessica Simpson's in the "Before" Proactiv pictures. The tropical heat and the abscence of air pollution regulations are a deadly combination, although most of my Honduran friends somehow have gorgeous skin. I knew that I had to do something, so I prescribed a round of tetracylcine (an antibiotic) for myself along with Retin-A. Honduras is light years ahead of the U.S. in that respect-the pharmacies realize the efficacy of cutting out the middleman, in this case, a trained physician.
