" Hey Jess, I really need some advice. My dream is to become a famous actress, but I have no idea how to get the confidence in myself needed to succeed. I love everything about my body except for one thing: my acne. I&amp;#039;ve had it ever since third grade and it seems like it will never go away. I&amp;#039;ve gone to a dermatologist, but I really struggle with sticking to a routine of taking a pill and putting on face cream. Having acne is definitely tearing down my confidence. How can I build my self-confidence to the level where I feel comfortable chasing my dream? Please help! Love, Tiana Dear Tiana, Acne can be difficult to deal with and I&amp;#039;m sorry it&amp;#039;s causing you so much pain. Believe it or not, I didn&amp;#039;t get acne until I was in my late 20s and I too had to figure out a way to create a routine of caring for my skin. It sounds like you have an idea of what you need to do, so now you have to create a routine you can actually stick to. Did you know it takes 28 days to create a new habit? See if you can commit for that amount of time. Make it fun, but also make it consistent at a certain time of day. Stick Post-It notes to your mirrors with notes reminding yourself to love your skin today! Don&amp;#039;t think of it as punishment or something you &amp;quot;have to do&amp;quot;. Embrace this moment to connect with your skin and heal it into beauty! Remember how you feel right now and channel your emotions later when you are preparing for an acting role. Using your emotions will help you become a great actress, but don&amp;#039;t let it definte you. Lots of actors (seriously, LOTS) have skin issues. Actors are just people after all! So first take care of yourself and I feel your confidence will bloom. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
