Sometimes in a feeble effort to make my zits calm down so I can at least attempt to cover them up with the nine different types of concealer I keep on hand, I either freeze the really bad pimples with an ice cube or try to dry them out with my hair dryer and/ or a Zeno. Then I have to let them sit for awhile, then I powder the whole face, then conceal.
I know there is a whole world of over 35 year old people out there who have to take these elaborate measures to get rid of acne, but it does make you feel ridiculous and alone, and like “wow, I should really have grown out of this by now.” This is especially true when I have to dig into a zit on my chin to pull out a hair. Oh yes, it’s TMI time here.
Seriously, am I going to have pimples until I hit menopause? This is ridiculous.
