Recurring Act

Fuck. I have this huge red pimple (pea sized, cannot possibly be missed) on my forehead. And guess what? IT'S BEEN THERE FOR 3 WEEKS!! Not 1, NOT 2, BUT 3!! THREE!!! It simply refuses to go away. I've practically tried everything--putting benzoyl peroxide on it, squeezing it, picking at it, wishing it gone...to no avail!! At times it'll shrink to a smaller size, but after a few hours, it always comes back big, red, and bulging. Ugh!!! Please please go awayyyyyyyy!!

I've already had to live through a whole week of staff meetings with it (where it met the CFO, met my boss, met my boss's boss, and many other important executives). Grr!! Now I'll have to go to a birthday dinner with it...

I think it has to do with my complexion. I have combination skin, which means the T-zone (forehead, nose) tend to get very oily while my cheeks tend to stay normal (not too dry nor oily). This is the worst kind of skin to have (the other two kinds are oily, and dry). Why? Because I can't use very harsh acne treating face washes since that'll make my cheeks very dry and start to peel. And if I use face washes that are too gentle, the acne will still be there....GRRR!

get Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser with 10% benzoyl peroxide. (comes in a purple tube)

it works crazily well, and I have combination skin too but its not too harsh even though it seems like it'd be.

dont worry, the zit will go away!
