You are my new hero! … anyone who can introduce that into conversation is deserving of at least a small dance!
I still have a UTI (urinary tract infection). It’s much better than when I originally came in for it two weeks ago (thus, the need for the antibiotic mentioned above), but frick. So, another round of even stronger antibiotics are in my future. WHEE!
Try scrubbing your face with a Brillo pad, then using a sandblaster on the stubborn little b******* that won’t go away. That sometimes works for me. Sometimes.
I hate PMS acne. I get it almost every freaking month, and the only thing that clears it up is when my period is actually over. So that’s two weeks of near-clear skin, and two weeks of Phantom-Of-The-Opera-Face. Grrrrrr.
Wash your face about 3x more than usual. Seriously! I find I can limit the damages by doing the whole Clinique facial process…rinse off cleanser to remove makeup, then the soap, then the clarifying lotion (kinda like Ten-O-Six). In extreme cases, I’ll do a clay mask two or three nights in a row.
