The nice lady at Fred Segal recommended this seaweed cleanser with a Romanian sounding name that I swear cleared up way most of my acne. It's now very much the exception. My skin feels vaguely adult for the first time ever.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It really does help, tho'.
I believe you!
See David? There's something in it for you and Emmett, too.

At this point, I refuse to believe that my acne will ever be grown out of. Twelve years and counting, baybee.

Now tagless for your comfort.
That's right. I am the bad tv-is-my-babysitter mom!
Me, too! Maisy is my nanny.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's the guy! Between him and Aveda my skin's a bit pricey, but it's doing well! It's always been soft, but concomitantly sensitive and liable to breaking out when the wind changed. Now, NSM. A zit or two when I'm pre menstrual, a zit or two inbetween, maybe, and that's it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Aveeno has been our savior for over a year now. And Joe even uses the shave cream and no more bumpies!

Remind me of your LJ name, because I am horrible at remembering such things.
It's the same as here, only no caps. I can't handle having more than two names.
JZ, rosacea is basically a big annoyance. It's when your skin reacts badly to, well, just about everything, but esp sun, heat, and irritants. Rosacea tends to make skin red, plus you get tiny acne breakouts, and sometime broken capillaries if you are super lucky.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
H'rm. Looking at a couple of rosacea info sites, it doesn't look like that's the problem -- the only symptom I have on any of their lists is the acne itself, which means it's probably just acne itself.
Aspirin, honey, green tea, seaweed. I'm going to have quite the shopping trip this weekend!
My skin feels vaguely adult for the first time ever.
I swear, the only precipitating event for this that I can think of is that about a month ago I was looking at myself in the mirror while doing my eyebrows, and the surprised thought crossed my brain, "I have one zit. One! It's been, like, two years since I had an actual outbreak! It's really over, and I'm actually going to get a small grace period before the wrinkles set in!" I never should have allowed myself to so much as think that, it's so clearly asking for a dermatologic smackdown.

Hubby has acne all over. Mayhap I'll try that aspirin concoction on him in a small dose and see what happens.
