Thanks to these nasty red bumps, I went from feeling confident to self-concious. Oh well, I guess everybody does. Dont you just love it when you wake up one day and saw that grrrooosss red zit right in the middle of your nose ( not to mention that it has that yellow icky stuff inside ) Ha! Its not just a zit sister, its a HUGE zit!

And the reason why Im writing this its coz I have a pimple in my right cheek . I remember how hard life was when they used to be Everyyyywhere, all overr my face!

Ive had my own fight.. geez.. It was a war.. like literally. Its not only aggravating to have pimples, its costly as well. You buy loads of scrubs, facial wash, acne ointment and all that stuff you see in the drugstore that really wont do anything. Ive tried so many brands and it didnt help. It took a year for me to get rid of my pimples and now I have less, well, I still have them once in awhile but unlike before they appear from time to time like my face was cursed.

What worked for me :
1. Get a lot of sleep!
2. Dont stuff ur face with too much product – I realized the more product you use, the more sensitive your skin will be, the more prone it is to have breakouts.
3. Use non comedogenic products – I thought I only hear this on ads, but seriously , it worked, use water based products. ( these are products that wont clog your pores and are not too harsh , they worked well on my skin)
4. Dont use too much scrub!-This is one of my greatest mistake, I had an obsessive urge to scrub my face everyday, I use a lot of scrub, and I think Ive tried all brands. But its a NO-NO so yea dont do it.
5. Dont ever sleep with your make up on ( Never ever do this sin to your skin if you dont wanna wake up lookin hey-ugly the next day )
5. Moisturizeeee…
6. Drink water .. ( a lot! )
7. Again.. SLEEP!

Products I leaned on :
*Panoxyl
*Cetaphil or Neutrogena Acne wash
*Clean and Clear Toner
*Ponds Night cream
* Celeteque Moisturizer
