An Interview With Blume Founders Taran and Bunny Ghatrora
Blume Founders Taran and Bunny Ghatrora on Normalizing Acne and Redefining Self-Care

Bunny: "I think if I had to go back and give my teenage self advice, it would be not to have bangs glued to my forehead and hair covering my whole face and to tie it up when I went to sleep. I had really thick front bangs for a few years, and then I had really thick side-sweeping bangs. I learned later on that hair is a big cause of acne. Definitely keeping my hair out of my face as much as possible and tying it up and letting my skin breathe is a big one that I wish I learned earlier. I feel like so many people can relate because a lot of us had front bangs or side bangs."
Taran: "In relation to skin, I would probably tell myself to get more sleep because I used to stay up late all the time like listening to music, writing, naming stuff on my iPod, and it probably gave me more teenage acne than anything else. Second, less is more. I tried a lot of harsh drugstore skin-care products that just made my acne worse. I would probably tell myself to just sleep more and not use as many harsh products on my face."
