What acne sufferers hate the most is to catch a glimpse and be reminded of how awful their acne really looks. Any object that gives a true reflection of how you really look automatically becomes your enemy. You tend to walk past most mirrors with your head turned away so you don't catch a sight of your acne. Car mirrors can be especially very devastating to your ego and you avoid them like the plague. You prefer to look down when washing your hands in a public bathroom and it also becomes very hard to try on clothes at shops. It can get worse to the extent that you can actually be forced to shave or brush your teeth in the dark. It doesn't matter how happy you are on a given day, one look in a mirror and you end up feeling down again.
