I was reading an interesting magazine article last night about celebrities who have suffered from acne and severe breakouts in the past. Of course, by the time the general public actually sees these people in magazine spreads or on the silver screen, the blemishes have been covered up by heavy applications of theatrical makeup or by Photoshop, so it’s often hard to tell who has good skin and who doesn’t.

I’d heard rumors about Brad Pitt having pockmarks all over his face, so I wasn’t surprised to see his name in the article. But other celebs that did have me raising my eyebrows were Cameron Diaz, Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Jennifer Love Hewitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Alicia Silverstone. The scary part was looking up photos of these celebs in full breakout mode — wow, makeup really does hide a lot!

At any rate, all of them seem to be doing fine now, so I guess their natural acne treatment or prescription medicines worked. Now I just wish these treatments would work for me sometime soon!!!
