It’s Acne Awareness Month, and Australia’s favourite pimple patch brand Skin Control is taking things beyond the skin with a powerful new initiative that’s all about self-love, realness, and mental health support. ‘Put Your Best Face Forward’ is a national campaign that’s calling time on skin shame and rallying Aussies to show up with confidence, exactly as they are. At the heart of it? A partnership with Beyond Blue to raise vital funds for mental health services while celebrating every stage of the skin journey. Because let’s face it - up to 85% of us will experience acne at some point, yet the pressure to have ‘perfect’ skin is still very real- especially for tweens and teens. Skin Control wants to flip that script by championing what’s real and encouraging us - and our teens- to wear our skin (and our patches) with pride. The campaign is a deeply personal one for founder Michael Porter, who knows firsthand how acne can affect mental health. “It’s the message I wish I could have given my younger self,” he says. “Your skin doesn’t define your worth, and you don’t need to hide away.” Here’s how you or your teens can get involved:
