Everyday Randomness

When I was a teenager I would freak out over the smallest pimple. When I hit adulthood, I discovered I would most likely be dealing with adult acne problems for years. Certain times of the month (of course), and certain times of the year always seem to be worse. When my allergies flair up, so does my acne.

This week has been absolutely horrible. I swear every time I look in the mirror I see another spot. Last night my Grandma gave me her typical speech. “Girl you need to spend more time in the sun. Don’t you know it’s a natural acne treatment?”

If that’s true then why do I feel like spending a lot of time outside this week has only made my face worse! I know where’s she’s coming from. In the sun you’re hot, you sweat, you clean your pores, but is that really supposed to be the instant cure for acne I’ve had most of my adult life? Ya know if it was I think my face would have cleared up years ago as much time as I spend in the sun in the summer, only my acne is worse in the summer.

I’m going to have to go on a hunt again for some new acne treatments. Even though I’ve got a couple that I absolutely love, neither of them seem to be working anymore.
