oh, the vanity.
How old do you have to be to stop learning the same lessons?
I am thirty-eight years old, people, thirty-eight years old.
I had severe acne as a teenager.
Severe.
Honestly, even the word acne makes me cringe.
I do not care for it.
But the other words associated with acne are even worse.
And I am still struggling with the exact same problem.
And it feels so high school.
You know, the insecurity?
The looking too long in the mirror and assuming everyone else is looking at me and thinking about my face.
Ah – the horrendous vanity of that line of thinking.
The pride wrapped up even in self-pity.
Let me tell you –
you don’t have to be beautiful to be vain.
This much I know.

I have an aunt with this same issue and she says that lye soap does the trick. And, I know you could make this at home!

Yikes.
Lye soap seems so strong though – doesn't it?
Sarah
Not really, have you ever tried it? It leaves the skin really soft.

I have never noticed it, and I have known you for 21 years. But I am serious about Pro-Active. It works. If you buy it one time it will last for a few months. The facemask might be enough… it smells terrible but if you use it once a week with your regular face wash you will still notice a difference. I am a huge fan of the stuff. (The facemask really does shrink acne scars too!)

Not the point… I do realize this 🙂
