This week, I've been really preoccupied and kind of stressed about a work project. I've been working pretty much constantly on that project, to the detriment of other responsibilities; including my diet. Basically, I've been eating all kinds of terrible foods all the time.
As a result of this behavior, I got a ginormous zit on my chin. Or, I should say, I got a ginormous almost-zit. Right under the surface.
This next part will come as no surprise: I picked the hell out of that almost-zit. I jabbed it and squeezed it, and now it's a scab at least the size of a dime.
The worst day in the life of my blemish was yesterday. It was seeping some type of yellowish puss, which would collect on my chin in a little yellow puss scab. Then, periodically, I'd pick this off and the zit would start seeping all over again.
Obviously, I don't work in an office or a cube, so I was never alone with my complexion. Instead, 30 different people were looking at this hideous protrusion every hour of the day. Nevertheless, I did make it through without any comments made about the zit by any person except me.
That is, until I went out to dinner with Shef. He remarked, "Mom, ew! There's a booger on your chin."
Thanks, pal.
I'll be buying myself a new skin-care regimen tomorrow as an early birthday present. Oprah says it will change my life. Probably I should eat some fruits and vegetables as well.
I couldn't help but laugh at this. Let me know if you find a miracle skin care product. I swear I didn't get "teen acne" until about a year ago. It sucks.
ReplyDeleteStress gives me those under the skin monstrous pimples too. It's part of my rosacea issues because when I get stressed all the blood vessels come to the surface and then pile up in one spot. Or something like that. I just bought a Clarisonic cleansing system and really love it. I used to get mouth and chin break outs all the time and the Clarisonic coupled with some intense dry skin products have made my skin relatively problem free.
ReplyDeleteI have this same skin problem. The really sad part is that as I get older my face scars easily and the memories of the zit last a long time. Does Oprah's product address this?
