Zits. There, I said wrote it. It’s an ugly word, whether spoken or written. That simple word can evoke gagging, undo years of therapy, or - in my case - drive a grown woman to the mall to hunt down that new Proactiv vending machine.
I know, it isn’t October anymore and I should let go of my birthday, but… I just turned 35 and I can’t stand the fact that acne commercials with squeaky little pre-teens command my attention. “Quiet kids, your mom wants to hear this!”
When I was a junior and senior in high school, I had quite the bout with acne. It was mostly on my forehead (thanks Aquanet) and upper cheeks. I ended up taking some oral meds and found that Proactiv was the shizzle.
I turned 35 on Saturday and on Sunday I made a mad-dash to the mall to get me summa dat Proactiv… “Hormonal” takes on a whole new meaning when one is double 17.5 years old… it’s a whole different beast…
Oh, and I have bratheths. Oh. My. Gah. Gag me with a thspoon.
i’m older than you and still suffer from that zit thing. happily got rid of my adult braces. now going thru that ugly brown spots on the face thing. one day i’ll be beautiful.
Oh, how long must we toil!!!? I had brown spots under my eyes after having my last little one… and Neutrogena has a lotion with Alpha Hydroxy that REALLY helped :)It stings sometimes, but that just means it’s workin’ :)
Um, okay, you really have the wrong idea about this mid-life crisis thing. You’re supposed to wear the clothes you parents wouldn’t let you wear, get a tattoo, dye your hair funky colors, etc.
And I’m ratting you out, Homecoming Queen. You were GORGEOUS is high school.
PROMO ALERT!!!
Clinique has this miracle product called Acne Spot Treatment. It’s almost $13 a bottle but it last a REALLY long time. All you put is a dot on the “thing” overnight and it starts drying up. Usually see results within a day!
OK, shamelessly stopping the promo…
