Beauty Bulletin / June is National Acne Awareness Month: Let’s Talk About It

June marks National Acne Awareness Month—and it’s more than just a calendar observance. It’s a powerful opportunity to spotlight one of the most common and often misunderstood skin conditions: acne.

As Aestheticians, we know acne goes beyond the surface. It doesn’t just affect skin—it can also deeply impact a person’s confidence and mental well-being. Acne Awareness Month reminds us that millions of people, regardless of age, gender, or background, are affected. By starting conversations and sharing accurate information, we can help break the stigma and empower others to seek professional guidance and take control of their skin health.

Why Acne Awareness Matters

Accessible Care:
Many people believe acne is something they must “grow out of,” but that’s simply not true. As skincare professionals, we can offer effective, customized solutions based on individual skin types and concerns.

Busting the Myths:
Misconceptions like “acne is caused by poor hygiene” or “only teenagers get acne” persist. These myths contribute to shame, frustration, and delay in treatment.

The Mental Health Connection:
Acne can take a real emotional toll. From self-esteem to social anxiety, it affects more than what’s visible. Raising awareness encourages compassion and support.
