Adult acne chooses no skin colour or role in society, and celebrities struggle with it too just like everybody else. South African social media influencer Mihlali Ndamase has spoken about the skin problems that she faces.
The star went on to Twitter to share how emotionally taxing acne can be. “One thing about my acne? It will come back. I’m so tired of dealing with the same thing, it’s been years. Honestly one of the most emotionally taxing journeys I’ve dealt with, the moment you’re excited about your skin clearing up something goes wrong. I’m so tired.”

Mihlali’s followers immediately offered her some advice on what to do based on their own experience. However, she did not take it kindly. She responded by saying: “You really can’t be ignorant enough to tell someone to drink water when they’re complaining about acne, we are adults surely we know the importance of consuming water daily. Also, there are different types of acne, some are genetic meaning you might have to manage it for life!”

Not everyone one just offered advice as one fan agreed with Mihlali on how draining it was dealing with acne; she said, “I’m so sorry mama. I’ve dealt with my acne the whole of 2019 and half of 2020 maybe for that long because I didn’t take any treatments. I know how emotionally draining it is. I hope you get through it.”
Others related with Mihlali, but she says she’s made peace with it. “I have had severe acne for the past 12 years,, i have taken skin treatments more times than i can count, tried literally all products, but I’ve made peace with the fact that clearly it’s going to be a part of my life and no amount of medical attention will rid it for good.”
