Good Morning Acne

I woke up this morning and was shocked – no – appalled, to find a brand new zit staring back at me in the mirror. How did this runaway acne find my face in the first place? I swear I didn’t see that pimple last night before bed, but here it is first thing in the morning, glaring back at me in the angriest shade of red that I think I’ve ever seen. Has this happened to you? As insignificant as a pimple truly is, when they happen, it’s easy to blow them out of proportion.

Like most people, I had no idea what to do about even the mildest case of acne. I’m a clean person, I swear! I wash my face every single day, but still there it is, an ugly new zit on my clean face, front and center and glaring at me in my otherwise flawless reflection. I felt like perhaps someone stole my identity and ordered a disgusting and obnoxious zit from a catalog and now I was dealing with the results. I could not believe this was happening to me.

The biggest question on my mind was this: Squeeze, or don’t squeeze? The experts on the subject say to leave it alone, not to touch it or squeeze it or poke at it at all. But have these experts really dealt with this? How can I go around all day with this ugly thing all over my face?

What I didn’t know at the time was that changes in diet, stress and hormone levels could all be attributed to the onset of acne just as easily as an unclean face. Changing your diet, changing your stress level and keeping your face clear using special products designated for acne and other skin problems may all do the trick, but finding a happy medium between all of these fixes is usually the best way to see results.

Sadly, I couldn’t wait for creams or face cleaners or for my stress level to go down. My new zit friend was more than I could deal with and I ended up popping the sucker, even though it really is not recommended! Now I can pretend I cut myself shaving, taking pride in the little battle wound that I’ve acquired and hoping that nobody at the office will figure out the truth.
