Center of destruction!

An invitation to a debut party of Dianne made me worried sick about the acne beginning to “infest” my face again.  Argggghhh… just when I thought it is gone forever and had successfully evacuated from my face but now it is beginning to show up again.   It was so timely for a very special occasion where I was invited to be the debutantes escort for the night.  Of course, knowing both of  us will be the center of attraction made me frantically asked for help fast.   For sure, if the stubborn acne stays, I will be the center of destruction and it might affect my mood with scary thoughts that guests will be talking how awful I look.

My dermatologist once again is up for a big battle with my acne.  Her expertise will be put to test again.   Actually, she had proven how experienced she is when she had successfully treated me.  I still have to find out what triggered my acne.   I partly blamed it for my staying up late and due to sleepiness, oftentimes, I tend to forget to do the routine cleaning, toning and moisturizing ritual.

So now, I am feeling sorry for such neglect and I will be even more sorry if I will show up in the party being the center of destruction! So, I have a lot of sessions to go through with my derma before the big day.    I am keeping my fingers crossed!

My kind of soap

I don’t really mind  if some says sulfur soap smells like a rotten egg but as far as I am concern, it is  the most effective bar soap that clears away unwelcome guests on my face.   I am no different like other boys and girls who during their puberty  suffered clogged pores resulting to acne.  It was a nightmarish phase of my growing up years and the traces markedly serves as remembrance. Since then, I became cautious with the onset of acne but lately, due to my busy schedule, I seemingly had lost my guard especially in with cleaning my face at night.   Sometimes, I will throw all my cares away especially if I am dead tired with too many school activities.  This bad habit of putting off my cleaning ritual, resulted to a big pimple on my forehead that greeted me early morning before I go to school.

And so before it will all appear and invade my already clear face, I bought sulfur soap which is  proven effective everytime break outs happens.   It has antiseptic, antimicrobial properties and definitely suits my skin type.  Others experience dryness after initial use but not with me so it is my favorite bar soap. 

Alright then, I will stocked up now.

Mission possible….

Our mission to enlighten the seemingly collapsing world of our friend Dan is very much underway with the cooperation of another classmate who is very much willing to give testimonies on how he survived his acne problems.  Tom swore to high heavens that he too was plagued with undesirable breakouts not only on his face but also on his chest.   And that he too came to a point that he was sick and tired of dealing with his problem but he did not give up because he was confident that he will soon find the best  acne remedy that will no longer extend his painful suffering.    That is why, when we asked his help, there was no second thoughts because how he wished Dan did not go into depression and into hiding.  He totally shut himself from friends for fear of rejection and ridicule.  And he will share his battle against acne and how he triumphed in the end…

This week.. off we go to Dan’s place.  Our mission is no longer impossible… but very possible….

There is life during and after acne….

A disturbing news about Dan, our High school friend circulated amongst us his batch mates during one of our casual get together.  It was reported that he had alienated himself from the group because he is suffering from bouts of depression due to  severe nodular acne which led him to shy away from friends and became a loner.  Such a waste because he is such a good, jolly friend and we love him for that.  It’s too bad that he is suffering now from psychological and emotional problems and his mom is worried sick.   It all started when his girlfriend broke up with him saying that she can no longer stand the sight of his scarred face and when his acne began to appear in clusters.  Huh!  Her love  is only superficial!   His mind seemed to have been affected now by acne as his skin is… because he already lost hope and nothing else matters.

Well, the group connived with Dan’s mom so she can arrange for our surprise visit and that he can receive some good counselling from us his friends.  Maybe he haven’t heard about the modern breakthrough in acne treatment available in the market.

Definitely there is life during and after acne!
