Spironolactone Cleared My Skin
I've never had severe acne, however, I had what dermatologists would refer to as "moderate acne". I always had little pimples on my chin and on my forehead, and my skin was always super oily. When one zit went away, it seemed like two more reappeared the next day. I had tried all of the over-the-counter face washes and spot treatments, but nothing seemed to work.

Everything You Should Know About Taking Beauty Supplements. Top Story - July 2018. Created with: HUM.
For the longest time, the beauty industry has focused on exterior appearance and surface solutions. To a point, it makes sense. We put makeup on our faces to cover up acne and other imperfections.

How I Got Rid of My Facial Scar
One day I woke up and realized I needed to try something new! When I was fifteen I was bitten by a dog. Sadly, it left a big scar about two inches on my chin and I was self-conscious about it for YEARS. I always felt like it was the first thing people saw when they looked at me. It was something that always ate away at me and my self-image.
