What is the deal with adult acne outbreaks!?
Blooming knicker storm people, in the past couple of weeks I have had a rather annoying spot explosion and it has been driving me bonkers. At first I thought I was from the rather sweaty summer but as the weather cooled my zits seemed to become totally renegade. What is the deal? I am now safely in my thirties now and thought I had left a majority of my pimples behind in high school. But the dermo fairy had obviously waved her oil wand and said a wee trip back to adolescence might be wonderful.
Don’t get me wrong, I have been lucky with my skin with no real issues and even in my teen years I managed to navigate around any huge pus invasions. My break outs are always stress related it seems, in 1992 my nose staged its own high school production of The Last Days Of Pompeii, with it's own My Vesuvius replica. I sat in the back field with my Slazenger school bag over my head until it went away. The funny thing is all it takes is one major zit to cause the rest of your face to utterly freak out! I never knew my skin was a total pansy, who hitches up skirts and ran for the nearest nunnery when the pimple gang comes to town.
The reason I got a bit miffed by his is that I really take care of my skin, I cleanse, I moisturise. I may do a face mask on Saturday evenings before going out and I have enjoyed more than a few facials. I like taking care of it, so that’s why this incursion huffed me so. How dare my skin rebel like this, I have a friend Adrian who does nothing to his skin..its so annoying and he is fine even though someone told him he had the eyes of a 40 year old the other day.
40 year old eyes aside, my 15 year old style face tizzy has started to calm. Through gentle cleansing and a whack of Salicylic Acid, thanks Neutrogena. Though this shit is HARSH, so that will go back in the emergency draw after I have declared a cease fire with my pores.
