Pangit. Hindi ka makakapag-asawa. Wala ng pag-asa. Tigidig. These are some of the harsh words na naranasan nila because of their battle with acne. I can't imagine how they face their everyday lives tapos makakarinig ka ng mga ganito from your family, friends and loved ones. Parang ang sarap sabihin na, "Preno naman. Ang sakit mong magsalita". It's easy to judge talaga other people without thinking ano ang impact ng negative words to them. We can really brutal with words. And sometimes we are too insensitive to notice na nahuhurt na pala natin feelings nila. Minsan kasi our way of tukso or panglalait is through joke. Dinadaan natin sa joke na akala natin nakakatawa pero in real life and when they are alone nasasaktan na pala sila. Bumabalik sa kanila lahat ng hurtful words.
Siguro nakita nyo na ang video nila sa Facebook Page ng Maxi-Peel. And talaga naman nakakaantig ng puso ang acne journey nila. I don't have acne kaya kaya hindi ko maisip how they see themselves in the mirror everyday. But for sure their hurt is skin deep, you're not only scarring their faces, but also their self-esteem.
But these brave women happily met us and talked to us in an intimate gathering where they shared their sentiments on their road towards healing from acne, thanks to Maxi-Peel's "Wag Mong Isuko ang Laban" campaign.
