Pop The Pimple is an extremely important project. I’m determined to help you pop your last pimple and get clear skin. For reals.

I battled with acne on and off for 14 years, and it took 14 years to cure it. FOURTEEN! And no dermatologist could help.

That’s right, I literally made reading about pimples, and experimenting with products, food, supplements and lifestyle choices MY LIFE.

To be frank, most things I tried did not work, and some conventional methods even made my pimples worse. If you don’t believe me, check out my before photos.

I felt like crap for a long time. Pimples made me insecure, frustrated, and kinda sad.

But something inside me told me that I had to be strong, and that I had a responsibility to myself not to give up.

I’m so glad that I didn’t give up, and that I kept trying to find a cure because I finally did!

I actually found what works, what REALLY works – no it’s not Proactive  and it’s definitely not Accutane (I avoided Accutane like the plague!).

I even tested my theory on other people to make sure that it wasn’t a fluke, to make sure that I wasn’t just lucky, or that I didn’t just spontaneously grow out of my acne.

I recently got another case of acne as an ADULT, after being clear for years. It was a nightmare!!! I thought I was done with pimples for good…

It didn’t last long because this time I was armed with knowledge, and I became extremely good at listening to my body.

I cured this case of adult acne, and now I’m enjoying clear skin again – I also have more energy, sleep better, my tummy is tighter…

The good thing about getting the pimples back is all those emotions that I used to enjoy, not.. They rushed back. I felt the fear, the insecurity, the self-loathing AGAIN and it was… beautiful?!

It reminded me what so many of you are going through. Pimples freaking suck!!! They suck!!! What’s more is they seem to suck the life out of totally beautiful, amazing people.

Who would you be if you didn’t have pimples?

I don’t want you to take 14 years to get clear skin! I need you to know this, and really understand: everything is doable. Nothing is impossible.

I’ll say it again. Everything is doable, nothing is impossible.

You and clear skin are a match made in heaven. You and confidence are meant to be. You and self-love are two peas in a pod. You and success can’t exist without the other. For reals.

I don’t want you to mistakenly think that acne is genetic, or that you’re doomed to suffer forever. I hear people all the time say that their acne will never be cured.. and so they do nothing to cure it.

Don’t resign to having lesser skin when you can be proud of the skin you’re in. Don’t resign to living a lesser life when you have so much potential.

Some people think that a magic product such as benzoyl peroxide gel or a chemical peel or an oil will cure their skin.. They try it for a little while, usually too impatient to actually see any results..

Other people are convinced that taking one supplement, or making one diet change will change their skin.. and when it doesn’t, they stop trying.

Pimples are not caused by any ONE factor. Pimples are caused by the wrong products, by the wrong diet, by the wrong lifestyle, and by the wrong thoughts/beliefs. 

A lot of things have to go wrong for you to get pimples…

I need you to understand that anything in life is doable, especially great skin – it’s easier than you think!

All you need is the information.

The only reason people out there in the world are experiencing pimples or other illness is because they are under-informed or misinformed. 

I’m here to share everything I know about how to get clear skin, about how to take care of yourself properly, about self-love and self-fulfilment with YOU here. 

I don’t want you to feel like crap, and I don’t want you to think that you are your pimples. You are not your pimples!!!

Pop The Pimple is about taking life by the balls, and not letting things just “happen” to you. You can choose if you want the pimple to happen to you, or you can happen to the pimple. Which do you think is better?

This blog is here to motivate you, inspire you, and steer you in the right direction about skin so that you can be clear and confident.

But most importantly, the ONE thing I’d like for you is to love yourself at whatever stage you’re at.

If your skin isn’t perfect, know that you can fix it – you will have clear skin, I promise!

If you’re overweight and feeling bad about yourself, you can start being healthy. If you’re unhappy in your job, you can get another job. If you want to travel the world and make a difference, you can do that too!

Anything is possible, everything is doable, as long as you GO FOR IT.

Thank you so much for being you.

Love,

Olena
