"I’m no fan of miss girl, but when she started out on YouTube, she was very transparent about her skin problems. She literally used to praise the L.A Girl concealer because it hid her blemishes well."

"It’s SO hard to deal with, and people are incredibly insensitive about it."
BolelePolisa could relate:
"Still struggle with it, but removing dairy from my diet and increasing greens has helped a lot."
