My problem areas were cheeks and jaw line which was mainly due to
thyroidism for which I am under treatment.Additionally my
Epiduo acne regimen made all the difference.So guys face is not only the index of mind but body too.So don’t ignore even the smallest sign where your body is try to telling you something.Take good care of yourself and stay healthy !
