Oh me.. oh my… I was startled when I saw break outs on my chin.  At age 50, I can’t convince myself that I can still have zits because all along I knew that only teen agers suffer from those, but I was wrong.    I believe the culprit is the office make up.  Actually there is nothing wrong with wearing make up especially for us in the Administrative section of our department.  We are facing and interacting with a lot of physicians, vendors, clients in the office and we should be presentable in a way.  The only problem is that, sometimes I just wash myself with water and soap and collapsed to bed.   But now, I understand what a dermatologist cousin told me  that make up should be removed thoroughly at night to give our skin the chance to do it’s normal breathing, cell shedding and oil producing activities while we are sleeping.  If not properly removed, pores are clogged and yes, acne and wrinkles will be comint out.  And I hate those.!

 We usually need to use special make up remover which are a plenty in the market.  Special brands that promise to remove the hardest of make up and leave our skin clean.  Then moisturize and tone and you can hit the bed to Dreamland.

For now, I will leave my break-outs in peace.  No squezzing or pinching.
