And even some of the high-quality commercial products (formulated with natural ingredients) might temporarily bring you closer to your dream of a flawless complexion.

The Monster that told me that I was ugly and not wanted.  There are a plethora more, but each time one crawls or slithers out of the shadows I no longer coil myself in the fetal position under my covers.
