Stupid mirror ...

[ChinchillaSteve]

Great ...

Woke up this morning, it's monday morning so school
Anyway I went to the bathroom.
Let the water run so it could get hot.
Washed my face, now I scooped some water onto my face I look up in the mirror and ... I see ... a ... gigantic ... zit!!!

OH MY GOD it's ... it's enormous!

Ok I admit I sometime have zits but barely visable.
Now i'm walking around with this ... thing under my nose.

How am I supposed to shave?!

Maybe she just thought you had a rose hip on your face and was trying to help you out!

My cockatoo always always picks at and points it out to me if I have a pimple or tiny scab or anything. He rips off the scab too...ouch!

Tea tree oil compress, then some witchhazel to keep the surrounding area from clogging up. Should clear it up in a couple of days.

I was lucky in that I never had acne per se, just a few spots around my nose and chin, but that means when they do show up, it's an unpleasant surprise.

I am 25 and for the most part, I've had amazing skin... for the most part.
I got one the other day that was right at the bottom of my chin. It was huge and painful! I mean, I thought that would stop after I hit 20. Guess again. I know that it's bad, but I couldn't help but touch it... you get the rest. Let's just say that was even more painful.

I feel for you. Then again, I've been there and I've lived it... and it kind of makes it all worth it knowing that everyone has to go through it.

Crush up an aspirin, add enough water to make a paste and dab it on. It'll take the redness out of the zit and reduce the swelling.

ugh i hate acne. I've been cursed with it. I even tried proactiv...it just barely helped

Crush up an aspirin, add enough water to make a paste and dab it on. It'll take the redness out of the zit and reduce the swelling.

This also works for small kyloids. I have had 2 and it was recommended to me by tattoo/piercing dude to do this for about a week. They eventually shriveled and peeled off with no scar!

Crush up an aspirin, add enough water to make a paste and dab it on. It'll take the redness out of the zit and reduce the swelling.

This works really well as a facial scrub as well. I take 4 uncoated aspirin and mix it with my face wash once a week.

Please only use aspirin on your skin if you know for sure you are not allergic to it.

I'll try the aspirin this evening thanks
Wouldn't call it acne ... more like a strawberry.

Oh, if only you were a female I would suggest low-dose birth control. It doesn't help with actual birth control very well, but it helps take care of acne and migraines.

Though I'd honestly suggest these. I thought these were seriously silly and a gimmick, but my friend let me try hers and it worked wonders on my occasional acne and VERY stubborn blackheads [It clears them up whenever I use these, and they're helping to reduce the size of those pores in the t-zone, too, so there won't be such big pore for blackheads to hide in anyway!]
