On What She Wants Someone Struggling With Acne to Know

"It would be, in a way, punching my younger self in the face to be like, oh, having acne, well, it goes away one day. You'll be okay. No, it's one of the most difficult things I've personally ever dealt with self-esteem wise and just in general, in life."

"That journey was so important because it taught me how to feel comfortable within myself with good or bad skin. Once you either grow out of your acne or you find a way to remedy it, no matter what your journey ends up being, there's something so empowering about coming out the other side. People who have dealt with acne can f*cking do anything."
