For example ladies, all of those times where you have a date on the weekend, or you have the perfect girls night out planned, and boom!! Your skin breaks out in spots like never before.

Which is why we think that it’s important you know how your body can test you, and how you can withstand such tests.

Here are some of the tops ways we think our bodies test us, and how you can deal with it asap so that you don’t feel like your life is over!
