Anne Lovell is a board member of the group and Agony Aunt of Bella magazine. She is the author of three books.
Acne is a disease which is often misunderstood or mistreated and sufferers frequently feel angry, despairing and lacking in confidence. It can affect people at different life stages: mostly at adolescence, but also at times of stress or hormonal imbalance.
Tony Chu, a leading Consultant Dermatologist and an acne sufferer himself, has collaborated with Anne Lovell, an experienced agony aunt, to give support through both the physical and emotional upsets acne can bring. Together they help dispel such myths as: acne is caused by eating too much chocolate, by poor hygiene or that it will clear up in pregnancy. With a fuller understanding of the condition you will feel more in control and better able to tackle the problem.
