Hence, there is a need, today more than ever, to start a conversation and talk about these issues that lead to a lack of confidence and belief in oneself.
My First Pimple is a platform that brings teenagers together to help them understand that pimples are just a part of growing up and everyone goes through this phase in their lives.
Focused on highlighting the importance of self-awareness, building confidence and encouraging teenagers to positively tackle skin care challenges during their growing-up years, the digital event saw a participation of over 500 students from class eight onwards.
Fitness expert Sonali Swami said, “it’s important to keep pushing your limits and challenging yourself every day. Teenage is a challenging phase where the body undergoes manychanges and the whole transition can often be very confusing. But, it is a phase where our choices shape our personalities. Pimples are just a small part of one’s growing-up years, and there are bigger challenges that teens need to focus on”.
