Understanding Acne By The Numbers

This infographic is intended to increase the awareness about acne by looking at it from a different angle – the numbers behind it.

Acne is the 8th most common skin disorder on the planet and in the US, it climbed up to rank number 1. Reason for these high numbers compared to 3rd world countries are most likely to be found in our lifestyles such as diets and continuous stress exposure in the job but also in environmental influences like pollution.

Another alarming fact that should let us question our lifestyle but also reinforce us to support people with acne is that in the long-run acne can result in severe psychological consequences and social withdrawal.

What is the Cost of a Wedding in the USA #Infographic #Wedding

Most young ladies dream of a perfect wedding. They are the princess, and the love of their life is the prince. What they don’t often think about is the price of that dream wedding. This infographic breaks down the average cost of a wedding in the United States of America.

According to data, the average cost of a wedding is close to $27,000. Still, most couples would spend a third of that on their own wedding. How pricey weddings can get can be illustrated by the average cost of a wedding venue – almost $11,000! Add an average catering bill of $68 per person, and your wedding can get quite expensive quickly, especially if you’ve invited lots of people.

Photographers, videographers, wedding planners… none of these professionals work is cheap. Add to that the cost of entertainment, the cake, the wedding dress, cost of sending out invitations. All of this without even thinking about how much the honeymoon will set the newlyweds back.
