Sins of the skin

Sins of the skin

I recently realised that there’s a reason why I should take my own advice.

I mean, here I am preaching fairly regularly about the great sin in squeezing spots and, well…last week I did exactly that. Yep, I picked a pimple and boy, do I ever regret it.

Call it boredom, a loss of sanity, or just momentary obsessive compulsiveness – whatever the reason, when I first laid eyes on that pimple, I just knew I was powerless in my plight not to pick.

So of course I got to work squeezing and aggravating with all my might (I don’t do things by halves you see), until what started off as a pretty unnoticeable blemish had turned into a full-fledged bleeding, seeping sore. Attractive huh? And they say hard work never pays off.

And in case the guilt of my skin sin wasn’t enough to deal with, I spent the next week in true pimple purgatory – sporting a red, scabby spot so big that it accusingly screamed ‘pimple picker!’ to everyone within a one-metre radius.

So beauties, the very next time you feel tempted to pick a pimple, think back to my week of hell (where no amount of cover-up could conceal the mess I’d made and yes, there’s still a good chance I’ll also be left with a scar), and reach for these spot savers instead:

Eleusian Skin Care Clarifying Blemish Control
Neutrogena Rapid Clear 2-in-1 Fight & Fade Spot Gel
Proactiv Solution Salicylic Acid Spot Treatment
